"I know. I can do it." Frank nodded calmly.
Juno breathed a long sigh, as she had no other reason to convince him and could only watch as he left in a rush.
Just as Juno had expected, the police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance found Frank as soon as he returned to Zamri, before he could reach Helen or Vicky.

On the way back from Zamri, he had already found out which hotel Phoenix was staying in through Trevor Zurich's infonet, and he headed straight there.
Phoenix was initially shocked when she saw him barging into her hotel room but soon appeared embarrassed, even shy.
She was only wearing a sleeping gown, her upper body almost bare as she reclined against her couch, sipping tea. "Mr. Lawrence, what-" Before she realized it, he had strode up and seized her by the neck.
While Phoenix was left gaping, he whipped out his phone and called Madfist to send backup.
After all, all the police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance who were after him were right downstairs, surrounding the entire building.
"W-What's going on here?!" Phoenix was left stupefied at the sight of the flashing lights and crowds outside, completely forgetting that she was herself a martial artist, and did not even struggle against Frank's hold.
"Work with me. I'll apologize to you later," Frank quickly told her right then.
"Huh? Oh, okay." Phoenix was confused as to what was happening, but she enjoyed the warmth of Frank's hand and his vice dike grip for reasons she could not explain. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesShe was even starting to shudder...
Nonetheless, the Zamri police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance soon gathered downstairs in great numbers.

I know you're hiding in I there it's over now! I don't know why you're confident enough to return to Zamri, but you're not getting away now!

Behind him, his men cheered and echoed in agreement.
"Hmph." Frank snorted coolly and dragged Phoenix with him out to the balcony.
"You finally have the balls to-huh?!" Before he could mock Frank, Stanley saw Phoenix right then.
After all, he was well aware of who Phoenix was, since she was the fiancee of his newest best friend, Josh.
And she was important to Josh as well, since she was the bridge between him and Cloudnine Sect.
If Phoenix died, Josh would quickly lose power.
As such, Stanley's heart sank upon seeing Frank holding Phoenix hostage, as he realized that Frank was aware of his partnership with Josh.
Nonetheless, he yelled, "Have you lost your mind, Frank Lawrence?! Are you going to kill a member of Cloudnine Sect after you killed the Zamricommissioner?! Do you really want to make enemies with all of Draconia?!" Content belongs to en.kikistories.com
