?


    Only the Yimmels were scowling.


    "Fine!" Cadell, who had had enough just then, whipped out his phone. "Since you''re all so united, let''s see how you''ll stay that way after the Southstream Lanes are massacred! I''m making the call right now!"


    As he dialed the number, Frank was still smirking, while Helen''s fingers dug into his arm, showing her nervousness.


    "Uncle Cadell!" Hagar Yimmel was soon huffing from the other end.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "Hagar!" Cadell was barking at once. "We fell for Frank Lawrence''s trap here! You still have the hostages, don''t you?! Kill ten of them-show them the price of underestimating the Yimmels!"


    However, Hagar was huffing despite Cadell''s orders, clearly on the run. "No... Uncle Cadell! We were attacked, too! They had martial artists and even the army... We''ve lost many retainers! Have you heard of the name Hans Schnee?!"


    "Hans Schnee?! As in the East Coast Base Commander?!"


    Cadell and the rest of the Yimmels were left gaping in disbelief.


    On the other hand, Hagar was still shouting. "I don''t know anything about the basemander, but he brought an entire battalion of fully-armed soldiers... Argh!!!"


    There was a scream, and a suffocating silence ensued, followed by a static beeping as the call was cut off.


    The Yimmels'' heart sank right then.


    When they turned toward Frank again, they finally realized why he was so confident.


    "So, have you made up your mind?"


    Frank smiled at the key members and executives of the Yimmel family. "You should feel lucky that you''re alive here and talking to me. I can''t say the same of the ones in Laneville."


    Yora''s voice was trembling. "W-What are you saying?!"


    "I mean what I said. Did you think you could get away unpunished after you held the Southstream Lanes against their will?"


    Frank shrugged, his expression


    turning dark and his stare cool.


    I


    "Anyway, now that we''re done. talking about unrted matters, I''m


    sure you understand your position now."


    "I will be frank-you''ll either submit, or die. Those are the only options open to you. Now, choose!"


    Cadell sprang to his feet right then, snapping at Frank, "Know your ce, Frank! You—"


    Before he could finish, an invisible burst of pure vigor erupted. It sent him crashing through the ss wall, screaming as he fell out of the side of Lanecorp Tower.


    Everyone naturally had an idea of what would happen to Cadell at that point.


    The precedent Cadell set sent chills running down their spines, and most of them were sweating buckets.


    Frank was as meticulous as he was ruthless!


    He was smiling and joking around a second ago, and he then killed one of them as the rest of them watched.


    While his ruthless attitude scared most of the Yimmels, there were some who were fearless.


    In fact, one of the Yimmel


    executives stood up and bellowed,


    "Frank Lawrence! Our family will not fall to a measly family like the Lanes even if you kill everyst one of us! Know your ce, and-"


    Crash!


    With another burst of pure vigor, the man was screaming as he crashed out of the window just like Cadell.


    "It seems that you Yimmels have a spine. Impressive."


    Frank was even pping and chuckling. "In that case, I''ll be blunt-one or two deaths make no difference to me. You Yimmels were ready to go down swinging anyway, so why keep you around? Don''t you agree?"
