?


    Frank snapped his fingers. "Exactly. That would keep Josh on his toes, while I look for the real culprit who murdered Geon." "It''s less than three days until the Martial Tournament," Juno reminded him.


    "I know. I can do it."This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Frank nodded calmly.


    Juno breathed a long sigh, as she had no other reason to convince him and could only watch as he left in a rush.


    Just as Juno had expected, the police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance found Frank as soon as he returned to Zamri, before he could reach Helen or Vicky.


    However, he remained one step ahead.


    On the way back from Zamri, he had already found out which hotel Phoenix was staying in through Trevor Zurich''s inf, and he headed straight there.


    Phoenix was initially shocked when she saw him barging into her hotel room but soon appeared embarrassed, even shy.


    She was only wearing a sleeping gown, her upper body almost bare as she reclined against her couch, sipping tea.


    "Mr. Lawrence, what-"


    Before she realized it, he had strode up and seized her by the neck.


    While Phoenix was left gaping, he whipped out his phone and called Madfist to send backup.


    After all, all the police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance who were after him were right downstairs, surrounding the entire building. "W-What''s going on here?!"


    Phoenix was left stupefied at the sight of the shing lights and crowds outside,pletely forgetting that she was herself a martial artist, and did not even struggle against Frank''s hold.


    "Work with me. I''ll apologize to youter," Frank quickly told her right then.


    "Huh? Oh, okay."


    Phoenix was confused as to what was happening, but she enjoyed the warmth of Frank''s hand and his vicedike grip for reasons she could not exin.


    She was even starting to shudder...


    Nheless, the Zamri police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance soon gathered downstairs in great numbers.


    Stanley Durban was naturally the


    first to arrive ordering the scene be locked down before yelling at Frank through a megaphone, "Frank


    Lawrence! I know you''re hidings


    there it''s over now! I don''t know why you''re confident enough to


    return to Zamri, but you


    not


    getting away now! Content belongs


    "The world now knows that you''ve assassinated the Zamrimissioner, so get out here, or we''re burning down the hotel!" Behind him, his men cheered and echoed in agreement.


    "Hmph."


    Frank snorted coolly and dragged Phoenix with him out to the balcony.


    "You finally have the balls to-huh?!"


    Before he could mock Frank, Stanley saw Phoenix right then.


    After all, he was well aware of who Phoenix was, since she was the fiancee of his newest best friend, Josh.


    And she was important to Josh as well, since she was the bridge between him and Cloudnine Sect.


    If Phoenix died, Josh would quickly lose power.


    As such, Stanley''s heart sank upon seeing Frank holding Phoenix hostage, as he realized that Frank was aware of his partnership with Josh.


    et


    Nheless, he yelled, "Have you lost your mind, Frank Lawrence?! Are you going to kill a member of Cloudnine Sect after you killed the Zamrmissioner?! Do you really want to make enemies with all of Draconia?!"
