    Steeling himself right then, Stanley sat on the floor as he red at Frank with a gleeful smirk. "I''ll give it to you straight, Frank Lawrence! I''m not afraid of you! I have the support of powerful people that not even the geezers of the Martial Alliance could hope to match!


    "When the timees, they''ll find you and kill you! And I''ll watch closely in hell as you''re tortured to yourst breath!"


    But even as Stanleyughed maniacally, Frank snorted.


    There was a brief sh, and Stanley''s smirk froze on his face as a gruesome gash appeared on his neck.


    It widened by the second, and blood gushed out like a geyser.


    Stanley raised both hands as he tried to stop the bleeding to no avail and eventually copsed on the floor, his eyes wide with spite!


    "Mr. Lawrence, you don''t have to worry about Josh Dellon or the Lionhearts."


    Elder Fango was certainly shocked by how ruthless Frank was and promptly dered his stance. "The Martial Alliance will make them answer for the crimes against you."


    However, Frank growled coolly, "That''s your own damn business."


    That left Elder Fango surprised. "Are you saying you''re not going to seek revenge?"


    "Josh Dellon and the Lionhearts are nothing."


    Frank nced at Stanley''s corpse in turn. "I will dig deep and find his benefactor!"


    Elder Fango was left shing a smile of wry amusement. "Why make mountains out of anthills? He was just ying mind games, seeing that he had no chance of survival!"


    Frank shook his head-he already felt an invisible hand reaching toward him, and it was just the start.


    Who knew what mess could happen in the near future?


    And instead of waiting for them to attack, he shall take the initiative and attack instead!


    "Elder Fango, I''m counting on you to deal with Josh Dellon and the Lionhearts. I''ll head over to the mayoral residence and see if I can find anything useful."


    Elder Fango certainly had to agree with Frank that something was strange too.


    Stanley and his aplices had every reason to hurt Frank, but they should not have been able to fool even the Martial Alliance.


    "Do your best, Mr. Lawrence," he said. "You have the full support of the Martial Alliance."


    "You should watch your back too, Elder Fango." Frank chuckled. "They aren''t keen to reveal themselves just yet, so don''t startle them!" Elder Fango nodded and left.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    With that, Vicky and the others quickly surrounded Frank, relieved as they really thought that Stanley''s machinations had really killed him!


    Frank shrugged with a confident smile. "I''m a miracle worker. What''s easier than stopping mere poison?"


    "But that doesn''t make sense! How was Stanley not aware? Why was he so sure that you were dead?!"


    While others would not know, Vicky was well aware that Stanley was not your average Joe and would not show himself unless he was definitely going to seed.


    "That''s why I know that Stanley wasn''t lying. The poison he gave contained king mamba venom-it''s a species that went extinct decades ago. If hadn''t even seen it, there'' was no way Stanley could have gotten his hands on it otherwise!"


    That left Vicky even more puzzled. "Then why didn''t you tell Elder Fango?"


    Frank nced at the direction where Elder Fango left. "The Martial Alliance has changed. The way I see it, those people have most likely infiltrated that group. So the less people know about this, the better!"

    After a little chit-chat, he sent thedies home while heading to Stanley''s residence alone.


    The brat really knew how to enjoy

    ofnd in the middle of the city, wherend was worth its weight in gold. And the mansion certainly stood out against the towering cityscape.


    Avoiding the guards at the gates, Frank leapt through the gates from the back, hidden in the darkness of night.


    Soon, he arrived at the mansion at the center.
