"What?!"
Though Huub clearly avoided answering Frank's accusation, his question turned sentiment against Frank.
Even as the crowd turned to look at Frank now, they were all frowning contempt as if Frank was guilty as charged.
"That's Frank Lawrence?"
On the other hand, the bodyguard squad leader was surprised as he remembered Huub's earlier instructions to thoroughly humiliate Frank should he come to his exhibition, so that his and Lanecorp's reputation would fall to the gutter.
And seeing that the timing was right, the bodyguard squad leader restrained his hostility.
Folding his arms before his chest, he chuckled coolly at Frank. "Mr. Lawrence, if you've come to apologize and return the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, then do so right now-kowtow to Mr. Droitner, or you'll know what happens."
His meaning was obvious—if Frank did not kowtow and apologize, Winter and the other hostages in Huub's mansion would be made to pay. However, Frank was already done with that.
In fact, the reason he had revealed himself now was because he had already received the green light from Madfist.
Laughing coldly, he said, "Don't waste your breath trying to slander me now, Huub Droitner. The Bloodcrane Spiritbloom you promised Helen was fake from the start! Some third-rate company like Droitner Inc. would never be able to afford a real treasure!"
"Droitner Inc... A third-rate company?"
The crowd gasped-did putting those two terms together even make sense?!
Even if the Droitners were not the most important family and their company not the biggest in Bralog, they had ties to the government!NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Word was that Paul Droitner, the current CEO of Droitner Inc., was sworn brothers with Leino Himmich, the commissioner of Bralog City.
As such, mocking Droitner Inc for being a third-rate company when they had such connections? The man must be crazy.

While everyone was raising brows as they stared at Frank, he continued nonchalantly. "Not only did you try to deceive Helen with your fake Bloodcrane Spiritbloom but you also pinned the blame on me, and then kidnapped my people to force me into handing over the real Bloodcrane Spiritblogm before burning down my mansion. I will make you pay for that right now!"
Huub was already furious when Frank called Droitner Inc. a third-rate company, and he laughed despite himself as Frank listed all his crimes.
"Frank Lawrence! The truth of your

words notwithstanding, I can kill you now that you're here in Bralog and slandering my company's good name! Did you really think Droither Inc. is a pushover, and you get to hotter at us?!"
His eyes flashing coldly, Huub quickly came up with some excuse, refusing to let Frank argue.
This was still an exhibition hall, and with so many people watching, word would spread, and Droitner Inc.'s reputation would be tarnished anyway.
He waved his hand and bellowed, a cue for all the Droitner bodyguards to charge up and subdue Frank.
Once they took Frank down, Huub would have the last word on everything anyway!
Frank merely narrowed his eyes at the oncoming bodyguards. "Resorting to force because you don't have the right of reason?"
"Reason has nothing to do with it."

Huub smirked. "You've come to my turf here in Bralog to cause me trouble, so I have no reason to tolerate you. Did you think you're invincible, that you're above the rest?!"
