Jaden nodded. "Very well. Now that I''m here, Frank Lawrence will be resting in pieces. I hope you won''t forget your end of the bargain, Mr. Bearson."


    "Absolutely." Troy nodded and gestured. "In that case, shall we get going?"


    "Hehe. Of course it''s only right that I ept your goodwill." Jaden smiled.


    As everyone got in the car Troy prepared, they could not see the cold, vile smile on his face from within.


    "How dare you get insolent with me, brat," he muttered. "You will get it soon enough!"


    Soon, the luxury car took them to one of Bearson Group''s grandest hotels, and Troy''s grin broadened as he watched Jaden defenselessly drink a ss of fine wine that was spiked.


    Ste, who had been quietly as she stayed beside Jaden, appeared suspicious as she felt the nagging feeling that something was out of ce.


    That feeling actually peaked when she watched Troy send his people to deliver a letter of challenge to Frank.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Heh, finally."


    Frank was lounging on the couch, sneering as he nced at the letter on the coffee table.


    "Frank..." Winter was visibly worried.


    She was confident about Frank''s abilities, but concern had a way of messing with the mind, and she was certainly worried that Frank would get hurt.


    Even Vicky and Helen were not working today.


    "I should send my people to capture every Favoni!" Vicky sneered, seated opposite Frank and crossing her legs. "I really doubt some measly family from Norsedam would mess with us Turnbulls!" "Calm down, Vicky," Helen reasoned.


    "Calm down?"


    Vicky appeared speechless. "Who was it who suggested justst night that we should just blow up Zamri Square? You''re a lot less calm than I am


    "I-I was just worried..." Helen muttered, sliding a peek at Frank.


    "That''s enough," Frank stood up, rolling his eyes at both women. are you


    I''m


    d to death? Don''t y


    making this out I


    you have


    any confidence in your darling?"


    "Nope." Both women shook their heads.


    "What..." Frank almost passed out from sheer frustration.


    "Look, Vicky looked into Jaden just yesterday, and it proved absolutely horrific."


    Helen sighed awkwardly. "I don''t know anything about martial arts, but Vicky said he''s amazing, something about Skyrank''s second..."


    "Exactly! He''s ranked second among the youths of the east coast!"


    Vicky nodded in agreement. "Why don''t we just let them take Helen as a hostage, while we bail?"


    "Why me?" Helen snapped in annoyance.


    "Because you''re the board


    chairwoman of Lanecorp!" Vicky smiled gleefully. "To catch thieves, you must first take out their king! They won''te up after us if they have you."


    "You''re the king of thieves here!" Helen retorted.


    Frank only felt a migraine as the women suddenly started an argument over nothing.
