Even if Troy was furious to see his son being maimed, he obviously had more important things to do.
"Dad! You have to avenge me!" Ivor kept bawling.
"Got it. Now go, and get some proper rest." Troy nodded.
After Ivor and his friends were gone and closed the door behind them, Troy's secretary reported, "Sir, the head of Lanecorp's health and security department is Frank Lawrence, a male in his twenties."
"Frank Lawrence?!"
Troy's eyes widened—that was the name of the man who hurt his son!
Could it be two different Frank Lawrences? Though that would be unlikely…
Troy glanced at Kilian, who remained calm as a cucumber and nodded when he heard the name. "If that's really him, then it makes sense. Frank Lawrence must be the one masterminding Lanecorp's resurgence."
"Do you know him, Mr. Lionheart?" Troy asked blankly.
"I don't."
Kilian shook his head and explained quietly, "I've only heard that this man had been at odds with the Lionhearts, robbing Titus Lionheart off his fiancee and killing Sif Lionheart. One of the Volsung Sect elders has also gone missing, and we suspect he has something to do with it."
"What?!" Troy was left dumbfounded and started sweating all over his face. "That same man who crippled my son? If it's really him…"
While Troy appeared taken aback, he was cursing inwardly—Kilian clearly did not care about his son, as he was only concerned about Volsung Sect's interest.
Moreover, Kilian stayed silent when Ivor named Frank as his assailant, only telling Troy about Frank after his secretary told him that Frank was the head of Lanecorp's health and security department.
Kilian was clearly treating him as cannon fodder!
Troy could swear out loud right then, but he could not afford to insult a Lionheart either.
Still, Kilian seemed to see that Troy was worried and said quietly, "Don't worry. I know for a fact that Frank Lawrence completed Birthright rank at best. Have your men probe him—you're safe as long as I'm around anyway."
