"Frank..."


    Helen frowned, realizing that ckfive was now after him.


    She did not want Frank to fight, but she was not about to let herself fall to ckfive''s dirty paws either.


    Frank nodded. "Don''t worry, just leave this to me." "So? Are we fighting our way out, master?" Kat


    asked.


    She would never doubt Frank''s strength-even if she was hurt right now, she was raring to go.


    ckfive goons quickly encircled them when they heard Kat, while Frank gave her a bump in the head.


    "Quit messing around already." He sighed exasperatedly. "Haven''t you caused me enough trouble?"


    "Well, what should we do?" Kat groaned miserably. "That bastard obviously won''t let it rest." "D-Dad!"


    Just then, Baldie gained consciousness after Frank sent him crashing into a table with a kick.


    As soon as he saw his father sitting on a chair, he bawled as he rushed over, sobbing over hisp,


    "Dad, someone just messed up our bar and beat me up!"


    Seeing him bawling, Frank could understand why Baldie was such good friends with Brody-neither of


    them had brains.


    "What?!" ckfive eximed in shock. "They beat you up on my turf?!


    They''re dead now!"


    Death aura spilled from his body-he was a martial artist too, though just Birthright rank.


    Baldie then pointed at Frank. "That''s him! He did it! You have to beat him up, Dad!"


    Turning toward Frank where Baldie was pointing, ckfive was left perplexed for a moment before


    bellowing in fury. "Amazing! Messing up my bar and beating up my son? You''re so done now!"


    He sprang from his chair, picking up a steel bat from his goon as he strode up, bellowing, "It seems I


    must straighten you out right now!" "Go, Dad! Beat them up!" Baldie eximed, glee showing on his


    face even as he clutched his hip.


    Soren wasughing too. "You''re fucked, Frank! Hahaha-" "Shut up!" Frank suddenlyunched a chair


    with a kick, which mmed Soren in the head and knocked him out.


    Then, holding back Kat who was eager to start fighting, he remained impassive as he stared at


    ckfive. "If you''re a friend of the Soranos, have you heard of the name Gus Zeller?" "Gus Zeller?!"

    ckfive''s murderous re faded, and he stared at Frank curiously and frowned. "You know him?" "I


    do." Frank nodded.


    He had been catching a lot of heat today, and therefore resorted to name dropping Gus, since he did


    not want more trouble.


    Gus would most likely help out since he still needed Frank''s treatment. Moreover, Frank already had a


    hunch that Gus held considerable authority even among the Soranos, given how even Willy Sorano


    was tiptoeing around him, let alone ordering him around.
