Helen's mouth was open, but she could not say what was plaguing her mind.
Frank then turned to her and said solemnly, "I know there's smisunderstanding between us, but | hope you'll see the truth and not get misled. However, you have to trust me. Do you trust me, Helen?" Frank had never spoken to Helen like that before, and she could scream that she did.

Helen was certainly embittered—she wanted to leave with Frank so badly, but so what? She knew Frank's temper and that he would never give in—and that meant death.
As for her, should she choose love and cause the death of the man she so dearly loved? Helen withdrew her hand as if jolted, lowering her gaze while fighting back her tears. "I never trusted you, Frank.
I-I'm marrying Chaz next week. Let's just stay away from each other now." Her words left Frank feeling like he was punched in the gut.
"What are you saying? A-Are you really—" "Yes, Frank. Don't botherever again." Helen braced herself and lied through her teeth. "You've always deceived me, while Chaz has always been good to me. Just go!" "Sorry for imposing." Frank hung his head and turned to leave right then.
"Frank." Helen clasped a hand over her mouth, suffering endless misery even as she watched him cut a lonely figure in the hallway.

But if she did that, Chaz would have him killed! "Hahaha! Not bad, Helen. You really know your place." Chaz chuckled gleefully, stepping beside her and breathing in her scent deeply.
Then, instead of staying with Helen, he ran out to the hallway and gloated loudly at Frank from the back. "You hear that, Frank Lawrence?! Helen is mine! Stay away from us from now on, loser! Helen loves me! Hahaha!" That was when Frank suddenly paused.
"Eh?" Chaz immediately felt danger when he saw that, and Frank soon disappeared while Chaz felt a heartrending agony from his chest! He was the chief of the Seaham Martial Artist Association, but he never even saw Frank move! He screamed as he flew over ten meters down the hallway, coughing blood as he pushed himself off the ground.
His eyes went red from fury as he growled, "I'll kill you!" Seeing that things were quickly getting out of hand, Helen leapt up to Frank and slapped him across the face! Smack! "Have you lost your mind?!" she cried, feeling thoroughly indignant—how could Frank behave in such a manner after she sacrificed herself for him? If Chaz held a grudge over this, Frank would be a dead man! Her slap cleared Frank's mind too.
