NovelEnglish"What? Are you not going to desist, Mr. Lawrence?" Titus' eyes flashed viciously—Frank was really overreaching! "I'm warning you—if anything happens tohere in Riverton..." He chuckled coolly, glancing pointedly around himself. "No one here will get away with it!" Titus' threat actually left the Riverton bigwigs flinching, but Frank slowly continued toward him, looking him in the eye as he said, "I have no intention to fight you—I just want to clear up one particular matter with you." "And what would that be?" Titus scowled, his keen senses still detecting over a dozen gun barrels leveled at his face.

Titus almost flew into a rage right then, scoffing. "What, are you going to humiliatein front of anyone?" "I have no such interest or attention." Frank shook his head. "I swear by my honor that Vicky and | have not been involved in anything scandalous." "That's it? Do you think I'd believe you? Also, your honor? How much is that worth?" Titus snorted, clearly uninterested in Frank's explanation.
"That is why I'd like you to visit Turnbull Villa in passing." Frank appeared solemn.
He had already insulted Titus anyway—why not bail out Vicky while he was at it? Titus snorted again. "And what should | do at Turnbull Villa? Take Vicky with me? I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in becoming a cuck." "No." Frank shook his head again. "It's best you ask her yourself if anything actually happened between us, as well as find out her opinion." a "What opinion?" Titus frowned.

However, if she's not willing to go along with her family's arranged marriage, | hope you'll respect her decision." “Is that it?" Titus was skeptical.
After all, Frank had the advantage, and both men knew that there was no peace between them after today's conflict. Moreover, if Frank did fall into Titus' hands the way Titus himself was caught off guard today, Titus would certainly not be so merciful! "That's it." Frank nodded.
"Hmph!" Titus snorted. "Know what I think? You'd best be careful if you ever visit Morhen. You may have won this round, but this doesn't mean a thing." "Heh," Frank chuckled in disdain, seeing that Titus remained indomitable despite his defeat. "Then I shall keenly await what you'll cook up, Mr. Lionheart." "Don't worry, | won't stoop to the level of despicable little men," Titus growled in disdain. "Just stay in Riverton for the rest of your life. Should | ever find out that you're visiting Morhen, you have no one but yourself to blin the face of my vengeance!" "Hmph. Feel free to see yourself out!" Frank spread his arms, nonchalant as if he was in his own home.
"Mr. Lionheart! Please, Mr. Lionheart!!!" Neil had wet himself in terror as he watched Titus turn to leave with his men, not looking back at all.
