Gina leapt up and grabbed Frank too. "Frank! If you'd really taken Mr. Droitner's Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, I don't mind dying here fighting you! I'll show everyone your true colors now!"
Then, she started shouting at the top of her lungs in every direction. "Everyone, help! We caught a thief here. He stole Helen's stuff but refuses to admit it! He thinks he's above the law just because he can hold himself in a fight! He's bullying us..."
Frank only got further frustrated as bystanders around the karaoke box stopped to look.
"Enough!" he bellowed, unleashing a burst of vigor that knocked Gina and Helen away.
There was a look of guilt in his eyes when he saw Helen drop on the floor, but he soon scowled angrily. "Why can't you believe me, Helen? Am I a despicable thief in your eyes?!"
While Helen stayed limp on the floor in silence, Huub rushed to her side while pointing at Frank and snapping, "See? He can't defend himself, and that's why he's getting violent! Go on, do it! I'm not afraid of you-no one gets to trample on Droitner Inc.!"
Then, turning to Helen, he assured her, "Don't worry. As long as I'm around, that bastard doesn't get to lay a finger on you!"
"Frank Lawrence!"
On the other hand, Gina remained on the floor like a fishwife, pointing at Frank and snapping, "You're not just a thief who stole Mr. Droitner's treasure, but you even hurt me and my daughter! Even animals are better than you!"
Frank noticed the bystanders around them looking at him and shaking their heads in disapproval and felt his vein throbbing in his temples. "Do you not understand what I'm saying, Gina?! I stole nothing! Huub Droitner brought a fake in the first place!
That was when Helen, still on the floor, finally said, "Frank... Just go."
"Helen, I..."
"Just go!" she snapped, pointing at the door of the karaoke box entrance. "I don't want to see you!" "I..."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Frank knew that it was pointless to speak further, seeing the look of rage and misery in her eyes.
He gradually calmed down as well and nodded.
"Fine, I'll go."
Impassive, he strode toward the entrance, pausing at the doorway as he chuckled and sighed softly.
"In the end, nothing's really changed."
And with those words, Frank strode out of the karaoke box.
Helen said nothing as she remained on the floor, her hand over her mouth as large teardrops trickled down her cheeks.
Huub then comforted her. "Don't get
upset over someone like him, Helen. Forget about him if you have
vel
to-let's worry about how to save your uncle for now." to
Helen nodded silently as she sobbed.
"Stay away from that heartless dog from now on, Helen. How
unseemly-bleurgh!" Gina spat as she helped her to her feet and left the karaoke box together. Content
Huub watched from behind as they went, his expression suddenly cool and savage as he beckoned at a goon.
"Come here," he said coolly. "Find
out how Frank Lawrence got out of
Blackwater. If he's a fugitive,
pressure Draco Fisher to issue a Blackwater Designation rightaway."
