In reality, it was obvious who hired Crewcut-Frank was simply interrogating him just to see if he had a conscience.
"Don't push your luck, brat!" Crewcut snapped. "I'll give it to you straight-I spared you not because I'm kind, but because of my master's last words. He had warnedI must not hesitate to spare anyone who can dispel our ghost fire!" "I see!" Frank nodded in realization. "Or perhaps you misremembered, and your master didn't tell you to sparebut to cooperate instead?" "Don't push it!" Crewcut was incensed by Frank's disrespect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh, but I'll keep pushing it! Now tellwho hired you!" Frank barked.
"You asked for it!" Crewcut bellowed in rage and leapt forward.
Ghostfires appeared in both his hands, and he swung at Frank.
He was taken by surprise by Frank's reflexes, as he dodged it, caught the ghostfire, and actually launched them back at Crewcut. Terrified, Crewcut tried to dodge but it was too late-the ghostfire struck true, engulfing him in its flames instantly.
"Just you wait!" he snapped.
However, he promptly fled as he extinguished the flames, seeing that he was no match for Frank.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrank was not about to let him off, however, and leapt effortlessly into the air, closing the distance in the blink of an eye. Seizing him by his shirt, he slammed Crewcut heavily onto the ground! Unable to get away, Crewcut ignited countless more ghostfires over his palm and shot them toward Frank rapidly like bullets. Even as Frank dodged everything, he chuckled. "Guess I was holding back too much!" He then reached out, grabbing another ghostfire and launching it at Crewcut.
Unable to move in time, Crewcut was engulfed in flames again... but this time, he could not extinguish it! Even as he writhed around on the floor in agony, he screamed, "T-This is impossible! You're so young... How can you be this strong?!" "I'm not obliged to answer that question... But you'll pay if you don't spill the beans!" Frank waved, and the ghostfire changed and burned even hotter, leaving Crewcut rolling around.
"A-Alright, talk!" he cried, having no other choice. "It's the developer of this abandoned apartment project who hiredto kill those proprietors!" Frank snorted. "And you really did as he asked after taking his money, tormenting and killing those helpless civilians—or am I wrong?" Crewcut could not argue against that.
"Killing you would be letting you off easy!" Frank strode up, seizing Crewcut by the neck, while draining his energy directly.
In the blink of an eye, Crewcut felt enfeebled, as if all his cultivation had been taken away! "How dare you... You crippled me!" Crewcut was furious! Frank laughed. "What's the problem? You're deling to abuse your powers, so shouldn't you experience how helpless it is to be an average Joe?" Without giving Crewcut tto argue, he flung the other man into the distance.
He stepped out of the abandoned apartment project just then and saw that the burly men had remained. They were waiting anxiously and sighed in relief when they saw that Frank had returned alive. "Don't do that ever again, kid. You really shouldn't push yourself." "We understand that you're helping out of kindness, but it's really not worth dying over people like us." Jada laughed nearby. "You don't get him—this is what he loves doing, and he would do it tirelessly, so don't worry about him!" Frank chuckled and turned to the proprietors. "Can you contact those business owners?" "Yes, are you—" "I have ton my hands anyway." Frank et buck rugged. "Just wireten s an employment and I fight for justice on youry * Privacy
