Chapter 1821
Frank had really thought that he had to be discreet, but there was no point for that now.
The three parties or four, including Mobius-were each plotting to be the winner who took it all, be it the spiritron vein or the natural wonders.
And seeing Ms. Quill's glare of contempt, he was even more sure that the young woman knew him.
Still, Frank did not hesitate.
Since her sentries were some distance away and busy keeping the Clear Winds Pavilion apprentices at bay, he leapt up and seized Ms. Quill by the collar, snapping coolly, "Who are you? Why do you know me?!"
"Let her go!"
The sentries panicked when they turned and saw Frank seizing their charge, and they charged toward him right then.
"Stand back!"
Frank snapped coolly as he wrapped his fingers around Ms. Quill's neck. "Any closer, and I'll snap her throat!"
"How dare you!"
"You'd better think about this, kid!"
"Yeah... if you lay so much as a finger on her, you're a dead man!"
"There won't be a place for you in Draconia if you do!"
While the two sentries stopped in fear, it did not deter them from throwing threats at Frank.
However, those threats fell to deaf ears as Frank tightened his fingers around Ms. Quill's neck, snapping, "Talk!"
"No... way!"
Unexpectedly, Ms. Quill proved defiant, snapping proudly at Frank even as he wrung her neck. "Go on, kill me if you can! I won't beg even if you do— you're filth, just like your mother and the rest of your family!"
Frank was at once incensed that she had insulted his late mother, and his teeth grated loudly.
"You asked for this..." he growled
through his teeth, the
look on his face sending
her flinching.
"D-Don't you dare!" she cried. "I'm warning you, if you don't let me go—"
Crack!
Frank did not hesitate to squeeze and break her slender arm right then, leaving her screaming deafeningly. "Ms. Quill!"
Seeing how unchivalrous Frank was, the two sentries almost could not stop themselves from charging at Frank. "I dare you to take another step!"
However, he bellowed at them, forcing them to back down again.
"H-How dare you... touch me..."
"Touch you, you say?"
Smack! Smack!
Seeing how defiant Ms. Quill remained, Frank pulled her close and slapped her firmly across the face twice!
"I don't know who your father is, but I will help him clean up that potty mouth of yours right now!" Hearing Frank's diss, Ms. Quill could pass out from sheer frustration.
She had been pampered like a princess since a child and had certainly never been subject to such abuse!
"I'll kill you, Frank Lawrence, you subhuman piece of—"
Smack!
Frank slapped her viciously across the face again. "Guess that mouth is still potty. Not a problem-keep yapping, and I'll keep straightening you out!"
Standing in the distance, Titus shook his head and sighed at how brutal Frank was. "Mr. Lawrence, as a fellow man, I think you should show some chivalry. Ms. Quill is born a beauty, but you'd trample all over her so ruthlessly? It's honestly disappointing..."
