"Where?" Frank asked bluntly.
"Sunblaze Dojo. It's in South Morhen," Hux replied.
"Alright. Wait forthere." "By the way, Mr. Lawrence..." Hux stopped him before he could hang up. "You have to watch out. My boss is really not pleased about this." "Got it." With that, Frank quickly washed up and headed outside, hailing a cap that took him straight to Sunblaze Dojo.
He was not actually surprised that the Sunblazers' boss was upset about the arrangement—why would he give up so easily on a position he had fought so hard to claim? If anything, the invitation to the Sunblaze Dojo was an obvious trap, as the nof the dojo already suggested that it was Sunblazer turf and dojos were a place where blood was shed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Frank arrived over ten minutes later, Hux was on hand with a group of men to receive him.
He was smiling apologetically and sporting dark circles under his eyes. "Be careful, Mr. Lawrence. The boss has summoned the Four Kings and every elite fighter in the gang." Frank could not help laughing at Hux's serious look. "You're really eager to take over, huh?" "Ahem. Well, I'm counting on you, sir." Hux nodded.
He was determined—instead of staying stuck as underboss for the rest of his criminal career, why not make a gambit while Frank was here to help? Who knew if they just might succeed? "Have you gone inside earlier?" Frank asked.
"Nope. We've been waiting," Hux replied.
With that, Frank strode in the dojo with Hux in tow and followed by other mid-level enforcers.
To no surprise, the entire place was congested. Every single person present was obviously a Sunblazer, their physique robust and they all had their mean faces on.
Many of them also carried exuberant vigors and were clearly martial artists.
Naturally, the vibes in the room were exceedingly tense with everyone glaring so icily. Anyone with a weaker mind would definitely have collapsed, their knees giving way.
Frank, however, was actually in the mood to joke with Hux. "It seems that they're ready to get violent if anyone rubs them the wrong way!" Even Hux was left feeling a chill running down his spine when he saw the amount of people inside.
Clap, clap, clap...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA short, plump man with a large belly, holding a cigar between his fingers and wearing a pinstripe suit, strode out from the crowd just then.
He was escorted by four Birthright rank bodyguards and clapped while he walked toward Frank and the others.
It was obvious that he was Pax Barzini, the boss of the Sunblazers.
"Welcome, welcome!And here | wondered how you got the balls to challenge me." He grinned before turning to Frank with a look of scorn. "Is that your man?" At that point, Hux somehow felt his fear feeding.
Striding forward to stand at Frank's side, he barked, "Your tas boss has ended, Pax! It's tyou step down— this man will be my champion. Not even your Four Kings can best him!" Pax reared his head and laughed, while the various enforcers snapped at Hux in turn.
"Screw you, Hux Darman!" "Insolence! Ingrate!" The elite Sunblazer enforcers were snapping at Hux at his words. He was clearly belittling them, demanding that Pax step down when they were all right there with him.
Talk about suicidal! "You've really grown a pair!" Pax smiled in turn. "But you of all people should know how many rivals and obstacles I've removed just to reach where | am today. Forget rebelling—you're demanding my seat? Does that brat over there give you that much confidence!" "Yes!" Hux bellowed, taking another step forward while glancing at Frank. "Mr. Lawrence said he will helptake over. If anyone has anything to say about that, cforward!"
