Rory wasughing at herself too, as she was biding her time for her revenge, sending the Lionhearts after Frank and Noel... only for things to end up like this.


    Even Sil, who bragged endlessly about his own strength, could not fight back as Gene''s men tossed him on the floor like a rag doll


    What Rory did not know, however, was that as the vice-chief of Volsung Sect''s Caudal Hall, Sil was a really formidable individual-it was just that he really fell shortpared to Frank.


    It was also Sil''s fault for being so arrogant he did not bring anyone else for the meeting with Noel. That allowed Frank to catch him off guard easily, spiking him with a drug that would be triggered when Sil used his pure vigor.


    While Sil could use his will and pure vigor to curb the effects early on, the drug would slowly spread throughout Sil''s body until he lost all rationality to lust.


    Then, once he ejacted, he would expire on the spot.


    Frank was certainly not holding back when Sil would pull such a dirty move against him-did he really think only he was capable of that?


    "I''m done here," Frank said. "Anything else to add, Gene?"


    Gene slowly rose to his feet at Frank''s question, shaking his head despite Rory''s earnest plea mercilessly. "I was the one who gave the order for Noel to be awarded the best actress award. Because I wanted you to suffer a setback, so that you''ll learn some humility. "And not only did you refuse to learn, but you also held a grudge against me and Ms. York. I''ve given you a chance, but you''ve really let me down."


    And with those words, Gene turned and left without an ounce of regret, not hesitating even as Rory cried and begged on her knees.


    He had really given up on her and only felt disgust and repulsion.


    After Gene left, Frank turned toward Gene''s two men and said, "I need you to film what happens, and then publicize the video. Give the Lionhearts a proper p in the face."


    After the men nodded, Frank turned to level an impassive look at the panicking Rory.


    "Hehe... Now you can have a taste of the trap you set for Ms. York, Ms. Thames," he said and turned to leave.


    At that point, Rory finally realized


    what would happen and lunged at Frank, grabbing his leg and bawling, "I-I''m so sorry, Fra—I mean, Mr. Lawrence! Please, I''m Draconia''s top singer! I can''t do this... I''ll join Lanecorp! I''ll work for you! Rlease!"


    Still, seeing that Frank was unmoved, Rory turned to Noel. "Please, Noel! I know I made a. mistake... Can''t you let this slide? I won''t ever do it again. Never ever..."


    Noel actually felt for Rory, though that wen Frank asked quietly, "Ms. York, if Rory was in your ce, do


    you think she would hold back?"


    And with those words, he turned and left.


    Noel appeared troubled, but Frank''s question crushed thest ounce of sympathy she felt for Rory.


    With a lengthy sigh, she left with Frank.


    Soon, Sil''s bestial bellows could be heard from the room, followed by Rory''s screams.

    Later, in Titus'' study at Lionheart Estate...


    "Fuck!" Titus Lionheart bellowed as he punched the wall.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Around him, Lionheart sentries stood in silence, afraid to breathe a word.


    They certainly would not dare get caught in whatever infuriated Titus enough for such an unseemly outburst.
