Gus went all out from his very first strike, and Frank met his blows unflinchingly.
Their fight was beyond the realm of an average Joe's understanding—each blow was as swift as a shadow and as lethal as a viper's fang… And they exchanged over thirty blows in no time at all!
"What?!"
On the other hand, Willy was left staring on in shock as both Frank and Gus proved evenly matched, even having a foreboding sensation right then.
Then, after over fifty blows, Gus leapt backward away from Frank, taking a moment to calm his erratic breathing and staring at the other man fixedly.
"I'm surprised…" He nodded. "You're not Ascendant rank, but you already boast such immense strength. I can already see that if you wanted my mentor dead, you wouldn't have to resort to underhanded measures such as slashing him through the neck with a dagger."
Pausing, Gus then turned toward Willy and growled icily, "You have explaining to do, Willy Sorano."
"W-What do you mean, explaining?" Willy snapped in defiance. "He killed your mentor! There's no denying it!"
Seeing Willy's denial, Gus' eyes suddenly narrowed as he unleashed a burst of pure vigor, pulling the bodyguard standing beside Willy toward him.
Glaring icily into the man's eyes, he asked, "Tell me, how did my mentor die?"
The bodyguard was stunned and turned to Willy in reflex before staying silent.
And as an Ascendant rank, Gus was able to catch the bodyguard's movement and interpret it accordingly.
It seemed that there was something fishy about Zam's death, and Willy was most definitely involved.
Fleur was ready to argue but had to hold back when she saw the warning look Gus shot her.
After all, the Soranos had spoken—another word from her, and she would be killed in an instant.
Naturally, she was left seething that everything ended on such a sloppy note, with their blame game being foiled!
Beside Fleur, Luna was even madder. However, she did not throw a tantrum either since anyone who argued at this point would be an enemy of the Soranos and the Ascendant rank Gus.
As such, she could only glare at Helen with flaring spite.
"What do you say, Frank?" Gus asked just then.
