And now, Frank returned to White Hall to tie up loose ends with the White family.
"Aria Lond is…"
Eron was just about to say that Aria was seriously injured when the ambulance he called for arrived.
He came to his senses right then—why should he be afraid of Frank?
And now that he thought about it, Frank must have won over Bocek by paying the man a fortune, so that Bocek would turn against him.
That was why Bocek even sent Sage Lake Sect's guild hitmen to wipe out Eron's family! Why else would Frank return unscathed?
Moreover, Bocek told Eron that he knew too much, which only further proved him right—Frank was the reason his family was almost massacred!
But while Eron would be scared or cowering toward Frank before, he now had Shane Tomen's support. Why should he be afraid of Frank when he was just Vicky's gigolo, and when Sage Lake Sect backed down because the Tomens intervened?
His expression changing right then, he shoved Frank away and snapped angrily, "Why should I tell you anything? Don't think you're smart by buying Sage Lake Sect's favor. As long as Shane Tomen is here, you don't get to strut!"
Frank was actually surprised Eron would snap at him, though he understood enough given what Eron said.
"Frank Lawrence from Riverton, was it?"
Just then, Shane adjusted his glasses beside Eron and regarded Frank haughtily. "So you're the one who ordered the White family to be massacred. You'd really have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for me."
Eron bellowed in turn, "How dare you be rude to my guest! Guards, beat up this moron and throw him out of my house!"
Frank watched as the guards crowded around them. Still, just as he was ready to straighten out every last one of those blind fools, Kim snapped from the distance, "All of you stop!"
Everyone turned to find Kim dressed in a black mourning dress, with a pale-faced Liv Dawson in tow.
As Kim walked up to Frank, she nodded at him before wheeling on Eron, her eyes impassive as she spoke coolly, "Grandfather's last words was for me to take over as head of the family. As such, you don't get to tell my guest to leave… Eron."
"Eron…?" Eron stared at her, aghast.
