Even as Frank faced off against Hal and his thugs, the students craned their necks, peeking out curiously from the lecture hall.
Some of the more cowardly female students were already pale in fear.
It was not as if there had not been such confrontations at the medical faculty—things simply ended badly for those who confronted Hal.
"That's enough from you, Hal!" Jean bellowed as she ran out of the lecture hall.
It was her idea to invite Frank as a guest lecturer, and even she would never forgive herself if anything happened to Frank, let alone Winter.
She was certainly cursing herself for forgetting that Hal was such a bastard!
Hal simply licked his lips and shoved her aside. "It's not my fault, Jean—he's so full of himself I need to straighten him out, or I'd lose face now!"
"Frank…" Winter cried as she ran out of the lecture hall as well, flustered because she could not do anything.
Still, she knew enough that getting involved would only end up burdening Frank.
"Don't worry—I'll handle this." Frank nodded at her and Jean before turning toward Hal and asked quietly, "So, you're Hal Lambert, and your brother is Bravo Lambert of East City?"
"Yes. I'm surprised you know." Hal laughed before snapping viciously, "Now get down on your knees and beg… and is the pretty face over there your sister? Send her over to the motel outside our school, and I just might spare you. How about that?"
"Hoho." Frank chuckled coolly as Hal sent him flying again and slapped him viciously across the face right then.
In fact, he struck Hal so hard his face was left sent askew as he tumbled to the floor.
The students were in uproar to see Frank slapping Hal so boldly and in front of his thugs!
"Hal!" A girl with dyed blonde hair and thick makeup shrieked as she ran out of the lecture hall to Hal's side, glaring at Frank and snapping, "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"
He was starting to wonder if Frank actually had powerful friends too, and he had certainly heard that the head of Grande Pharma pharmaceutical research had close ties with the Turnbulls.
Still, he came to his senses when he saw his thugs trading glances around him and snapped angrily, "Quit gawking and help me up!"
Once they did, Hal whipped out his phone and called Bravo.
"Just you wait!" he snapped at Frank despite his lopsided mouth. "Fool me, and I'll make you regret it!"
-
Bravo happened to be in the middle of a motel romp. It was certainly a killjoy for his phone to suddenly ring with a call, and from his own brother at that!
Still, he never stopped his hips even as he answered the phone. "What's up, Hal?"
