Ned''s creased bow eased when Frank agreed toe along. Suddenly, even Pax was less of an
eyesore.
He did not notice Pax lowering his gaze just then, and his eyes shed venomously.
Even if he was stepping down as the Sunzers'' boss, he would collect his dues before leaving! -
Half an hourter, Frank and the others left Sunze Dojo and drove to Southtown Hotel located just a
block away.
As a pretty twentyish waitress poured them wine, Pax wasughing heartily, seemingly not upset that
he had just lost leadership over the Sunbalzers.
"Hux." He chuckled. "You wouldn''t know, but I''ve been meaning to step down!"
Hux could roll his eyes—there was no way he would believe that.
Still, he pretended to be curious and asked, "What? Why?"
Pax sighed. "You have no idea... It''s really not easy managing so many men and such arge turf as a
boss, and there''s always someone looking to rece you."
"See?" Pax eximed as he pulled a strand of white hair off his head. "My hair''s turning white already.
How old do you even think I am?"
He chuckled as Hux stayed silent. "That''s why I feel relieved now that you''re stepping up. I''d be living
the easy life abroad now. Right, Gigi?"

Laughing gruffly, he then smacked the waitress'' bottom squarely, causing her to yelp.
Gigi rolled her eyes at him while pouting charmingly. "Please behave. There are so many people
watching."
Beside them, Cid had been staring fixedly at her pronounced cleavage.
"Hmm.? Do you know thisdy?" Frank asked in curiosity as he stared at the waitress.
"Oh, she''s my wife. We just got marriedst year." Pax introduced Gigi to everyone and smugly raised
his ss. "This wine is one of my precious collections—our dear president himself serves this to
important figures from abroad. Here, try it."
With those words, Pax chugged his ss.
Hux was studying the wine curiously in turn—the whiteness was crystal clear with a little hint of yellow
sedimentation. Being a connoisseur himself over the years, he could see that Pax was right that it was
rare, fine wine.
Vicky." Ned began just then.
Frank suddenly rose to his feet, leveling a vague smile at Pax. "Here, Mr. Barzini. Let''s have a toast."
"Oh, it''s an honor to drink with a martial elite of your caliber! Cheers!"
As Pax raised his ss, Frank smiled and took the ss off his hands. Then, taking Hux''s ss before
he could drink, he shoved the ss into Pax''s hands.
"Drink this one. I can tell that this ss is especially great."
"What...?" Pax was left taken aback.
"What? Are you afraid to drink it?" Frank asked, and reared his head to chug from his ss.
He then held it up to show everyone else that he had finished it before leveling Pax a look of curiosity.
