    It certainly left themander dumbstruck, as it proved that Frank''s body was tougher than a tank!


    Why could he not just die!


    "Huff... Huff..."


    Frank was panting even as he reached the highway, where the two cars he brought were parked.


    "Finally..."


    Bang!


    Just as Frank was about to get in, however, the car exploded!


    Both cars had been rigged with explosives beforehand and sent Frank flying!


    "Bleurgh..."


    Frank dropped to a roll, never letting go of Kat as he used his body to stop the horrific shockwave, as well as the shrapnel and flying pieces of metal that were the cars.


    He could stop most with his pure vigor, but more tore through his defenses, stabbing into both their bodies.


    "rgh..."


    As Frank dropped to the ground, coughing blood, Kat panicked as she saw Frank losing this badly for the first time.


    Even though shrapnel was sticking out of her arm, she withstood the pain and cried, "M-Master Lawrence, just leave me and run! You can make it if you run away on your own... Don''t worry about me!"


    That did not shake Frank''s resolve, however.


    Even as he struggled to his feet and ran down the highway, he wheezed and coughed. "Cut the crap! Save your strength..."


    At the same time, he whipped out his acupoint needles and stopped Kat''s bleeding.


    "Master Lawrence..."


    His terrible state only left Kat tearing up. "I-If only I''d trained properly... I would''ve been able to help..."


    "There''s no point in saying that now!" Frank snapped.


    That was when he turned to find three armored cars chasing them down.

    But even as the thought crossed Frank''s mind, he saw a sedan driving toward them.


    "Hey!"


    Frank waved at them, only to hear the swish of an RPG.


    Bang!


    The driver of the sedan and his car blew up into a giant fireball even before he could react. "Shit! Shit! Shit!"


    Frank could snap in sheer rage at that moment.


    He just could not understand who could have given Josh that much power to go this far?!


    And before he made another few steps away, several RPGs were fired at him.

    At the same time, he was vaguely aware that Kat was bleeding all over her face, and her eyes were closed.


    "Kat!" Frank cried.


    He did not even know how long it was, but his back finally hit the stiffness of the ground.


    At that instant, he wrapped his arms firmly around Kat and rolled again to ease the momentum. By the time he was lucid again and looked down, he saw that Kat was bloodied from head to toe.
