At the same time, as Grande Pharma's majority shareholder cum head of pill-making, Frank would like
to contribute by recruiting young talent, repaying Vicky's faith.
He would not have bothered giving a lecture otherwise.
Still, when he arrived at the lecture hall punctually in the afternoon, he was intercepted by a male
student.
He had blond hair and ear-piercing which gave him the air of a delinquent, and he was pressing a hand
on the wall, blocking Frank's path as he sneered, "Hey, what's your name?"
Frank was not bothered to answer the delinquent and walked past him.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!"
That sent the delinquent into a rage, and he picked up his baseball club, swinging it at Frank from

Several female students who came for Frank's lecture screamed when they saw that!
Thud!
However, Frank caught the baseball bat firmly in hand, and the delinquent could not pull out from his
grasp.
"I'm very busy," Frank growled, his eyes flashing coldly, "so I don't have time for trash like you. Get out
of my sight if you know what's good for you."
Crack.
He crushed the baseball bat with his palm right then, sprinkling the dust that remained on the floor as
the delinquent watched.
"It's over for that lecturer." One of two male students sighed just then. "That's Hal Lambert—his brother
is East City's Bravo Lambert."
"Everyone new in the faculty has to pay him protection money, be it lecturers or students!" the other
student added.
"How dare you!" Hal snapped right then.
Still, Frank did not care and started to leave again when he abruptly felt a gust behind him.
He sidestepped Hal's kick and wheeled on him coolly. "So, you really want to die."
Hal's face fell at Frank's words, since he could really see the killing intent in Frank's eyes.
However, Hal had killed before and was not about to cower.
In fact, he reared his chin and sneered. "Don't you know that this entire faculty is under my protection?
Everyone pays me, no exceptions, but I can see that you're a hard man yourself, so I won't charge you
much—just a hundred grand." "Just a hundred grand?" Frank snorted in disdain. "Hell, forget the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmamount—to think trash like you is so conceited you'd bring your protection racket to school. You're not
leaving now."
"Hah! You really can boast," Hal chuckled coolly. "Don't you know who my brother is?"
"Isn't that Hal Lambert? How did he end up arguing with Frank?"
Winter and Jean just happened to arrive after getting changed at the dorm and immediately found
Frank facing off against Hal.
Jean promptly leapt up and snapped, "What do you think you are doing, Hal Lambert?! He's our new
lecturer!"
"Ohoho? If it isn't Jean!" Hal's expression changed right then. "But my rules are rules—you know it,
there's no helping it. Everyone pays."
He was clearly interested in Jean, grinning vilely even as he studied her endlessly.
