The kid was being serious! The Sorano bodyguards all panicked even as they stared at Frank''s calm


    demeanor.


    He just killed the bodyguard captain with a single strike, and he recently beca vigor wielder...


    He was as formidable as the Sorano retainers, and he was not someone they could hope to win! "Go...


    get the retainers!" One of the bodyguards quickly turned to flee, and Frank simply watched him go


    without a word.


    That was when someone shouted at him, "Don''t get so full of yourself, you prick! You''re a dead man


    the moment you came!" It was one of the bodyguards, who could not stop his outburst as he watched


    the bodyguard captain drop lifelessly to the ground. "Hmm...?" Frank turned toward the bodyguard,


    locking eyes with him and asking just half a meter away, "You just calleda dead man?" The bodyguard


    gulped, regretting standing out just then.


    He nced at the hundred over Sorano bodyguards behind him, but none of them were attacking


    Frank.


    It was simplyughable.


    "Y-Yeah! You''re a dead man!" the bodyguard shouted, mustering his courage, though his voice was


    trailing off even as he continued. "If you get down on your knees and apologize, you just might... huh?"


    He felt a coldness even before he could finish and looked down to find a gaping skull-sized hole that


    tunneled through his chest. "Gah!" he screamed as he dropped to the ground with a thud.


    "Anyone have more today?" Frank asked, flicking his wrist to shake off the blood.


    He stared impassively at the deathly silent Sorano bodyguards around him just then and nodded.


    "You," he pointed at one of them.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "What? Me?" The bodyguard flinched in panic when he realized that Frank was pointing at him, and


    trembled so much he almost dropped to his knees.  ?wBut he could not do it—once


    the Soranos killed Frank, they would kill him too.


    It was a family rule. No one must submit to an enemy-even if they were merely bodyguards.


    Still, the bodyguards were petrified.


    He remembered how he bragged to his family that working as a Sorano bodyguard was a safe, stable


    job.
