Ned's creased bow eased when Frank agreed to calong. Suddenly, even Pax was less of an eyesore.
He did not notice Pax lowering his gaze just then, and his eyes flashed venomously.
Even if he was stepping down as the Sunblazers' boss, he would collect his dues before leaving! - Half an hour later, Frank and the others left Sunblaze Dojo and drove to Southtown Hotel located just a block away.

"Hux." He chuckled. "You wouldn't know, but I've been meaning to step down!" Hux could roll his eyes—there was no way he would believe that.
Still, he pretended to be curious and asked, "What? Why?" Pax sighed. "You have no idea... It's really not easy managing so many men and such a large turf as a boss, and there's always someone looking to replace you." "See?" Pax exclaimed as he pulled a strand of white hair off his head. "My hair's turning white already. How old do you even think | am?" He chuckled as Hux stayed silent. "That's why | feel relieved now that you're stepping up. I'd be living the easy life abroad now. Right, Gigi?" Laughing gruffly, he then smacked the waitress' bottom squarely, causing her to yelp.
Gigi rolled her eyes at him while pouting charmingly. "Please behave. There are so many people watching." Beside them, Cid had been staring fixedly at her pronounced cleavage.
"Hmm.? Do you know this lady?" Frank asked in curiosity as he stared at the waitress.
"Oh, she's my wife. We just got married last year." Pax introduced Gigi to everyone and smugly raised his glass.
"This wine is one of my precious collections—our dear president himself serves this to important figures from abroad. Here, try it." With those words, Pax chugged his glass.
Hux was studying the wine curiously in turn—the whiteness was crystal clear with a little hint of yellow sedimentation. Being a connoisseur himself over the years, he could see that Pax was right that it was rare, fine wine.

Frank suddenly rose to his feet, leveling a vague smile at Pax. "Here, Mr. Barzini. Let's have a toast." "Oh, it's an honor to drink with a martial elite of your caliber! Cheers!" As Pax raised his glass, Frank smiled and took the glass off his hands. Then, taking Hux's glass before he could drink, he shoved the glass into Pax's hands.
"Drink this one. | can tell that this glass is especially great." "What...?" Pax was left taken aback.
"What? Are you afraid to drink it?" Frank asked, and reared his head to chug from his glass.
He then held it up to show everyone else that he had finished it before leveling Pax a look of curiosity.
