    "What?!" Lex bellowed. "Don''t you know who I am?! And you''re telling me to apologize to him-"


    "Are you saying you can''t do it?"


    Frank was in front of Lex with a sh, snatching the lenses off his sses while still leaving the frame on his face.


    Even as Lex''s vision blurred, Frank snapped, "If I can take away your sses, I can take your eyes anytime, so kneel!"


    At Frank''s bellow, Lex''s knees buckled, and he dropped to his knees, leaving Tarik''s thugs trading nces from their booth seats.


    Lex was supposed to defend their honor, only for Frank to take him down in an instant!


    They always said that the real heroes showed up at the veryst moment... and by heroes, they definitely meant Frank!


    Meanwhile, Shanti, the owner of the nightclub, finally arrived.


    "Oh, this is all such a huge misunderstanding," he quickly said. "Let''s all just cool down for a moment for my sake, alright?"


    However, Linda was twirling the red wine in her hand, and not even looking his way as she scoffed. "It''s not like we wouldn''t, but your manager sicked his thugs on us without even talking things out first. And we''re supposed to just let it slide?"


    Shanti hurried to her, speaking under his breath, "Come on, Linda. Lex isn''t your ordinary man—let''s not let things get out of hand."


    "Well, we aren''t ordinary people either!" Linda retorted. "You don''t get to have a say on this!"


    Shanti could cry right then-on one hand was a group of youngsters with unfathomable depths, while on the other was a senior with strong connections.


    As such, obeying the rule that the customer was king, he threw his hands up and prepared to leave. "Fine, just do whatever you like! I''ll just stay out of this!"


    "Wait!"


    Linda suddenly stopped him. "Are you deaf? I said your manager sicked his thugs on us! Or were you not listening?!"


    While Shanti was left dumbfounded,novelbin


    he soon retorted, "Oh, please! He''s my manager, but I can''t decide everything for him, can I?! Kill him, feed him to the dogs... do whatever you like!"


    The manager was left bbergasted. "What?! But I had your approval, boss!"


    Shanti''s face almost turned green right then. "Don''t you put the me on me!"


    "Oh, is this how we''re ying this?!"


    Seeing that Shanti was ready to dump him like a tool, the manager came clean right then. "Everyone, just think about it! I''m just a


    manager-do you think I''d do


    anything without the owner''sel


    approval? I''m the pawn here, so


    don''t me it on the wrong man now!"


    At his words, Linda coolly turned toward Shanti.


    And seeing that he was not escaping this, Shanti decided to go all out. "Let''s not make this ugly,


    shall we? If you''re really going t


    push the issue, then I don''t mind telling you first-I''m not afraid of Jason Chand!"


    "You''re not?" Linda shrugged. "Good! You have balls!"


    Then, turning toward Tigris, she gestured and said, "Fuck this ce up! I''ll take responsibility for anything that happens!" "Alright!"


    Tigris was already sick of Shanti, with the way he abandoned the manager, and raised his metal bat, ready to attack.


    "Wait!" Shanti eximed furiously. "Linda Yates! You really want to leave town, huh?!"


    "That remains to be seen!" Linda sneered. "Do it, Tigris!"


    With that, Tigris did not hesitate to beckon at his boys, attacking anything and anyone within reach!
