While Victor was busy confirming Frank''s identity outside the door, Cid was cringing in a corner inside Victor''s office.
He was still staring at Helen in shock. "Y-You and Victor are in this together, aren''t you?" "Victor?" Helen was puzzled-it was her first tmeeting the owner of Victorget, so how was she supposed to conspire with the man? She turned toward Frank, who shed a smile of wry amusement at Cid. "Well, if he really is a Sorano, then he would have heard of me... And if that''s really true, then you''re screwed." "What?! Impossible!" Cid rasped, pointing at Helen as he cried, "You''re just the head of the Lane family, smoderately rich family from Southstream!" Then, he pointed at Frank. "And you''re just sglorified security guard! How could you have connections to the Soranos of Morhen?!" Helen turned to level a quizzical look at Frank too, and he sighed exasperatedly as he exined, "Well, I had beef with the Soranos. When Nash Yego delivered my medicine to one of the Soranos'' retainers, Willy Sorano intercepted him and assaulted him, even torturing him. After that, I stormed Sorano Estate and got payback, and the Soranos even had to apologize personally to Nash." "Oh, I see..." Helen nodded nkly, but she soon realized something was amiss.
The Soranos were one of the Four Families of Morhen! How could Frank have stormed their estate and get revenge for Nash, even forcing the Soranos to apologize personally?! It just did not make sense! Even if Frank was right, the Soranos definitely would not y nice with Frank after what he did! "Hahaha!" Cid started tough loudly for two whole minutes as Frank and Helen watched.
Eventually, it took him considerable effort to stop and sneer at Frank.
"No way. Don''t you think you''re being ridiculous, Mr. Lawrence? Storming Sorano Estate on your own, and making the Soranos apologize to you? What, did you think this s sblockbuster flick? Did you think that I''m stupid enough to believe your bullshit?!" "Believe whatever you like." Frank shrugged and sneered in turn. "And I wasn''t talking to you anyway." "Frank..." Helen murmured just then.
Forget Cid-even Helen had trouble believing Frank, since what he said was simply ridiculous.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
And who would believe something like that anyway? They were talking about one of the Four Families of Morhen here! They value their pride more than their lives, but instead of taking Frank down even if it killed them, Frank imed that they caved to his demands and apologized? And after he attacked their hat that?! It was simply unbelievable! On the other hand, Cid believed that he now had leverage and grinned smugly, "Hah! I''ll tell Victor exactly what you said soon. When he knows how you''ve insulted his family, he''s definitely taking you down!" "Do whatever you like." Frank shrugged again. "But my guess is that the Soranos would end you just to shut you up. Out of the goodness of my heart, I''m asking you to y dumb, as if you never heard a thing." "Pfft-" Cid snickered despite Frank''s serious tone.
And here he thought that Frank was one of those martial elites fromm Morhen. But judging from the man''s ims, he was clearly just an insignificant loudmouth
