Even someone like Burt had to stop and think because these bodyguards served the Lionhearts.
However, Frank simply clasped his palm over Helen's eyes and snapped a single, icy word. "Death!" Burt's face contorted with savagery at Frank's orders, since it meant there was nothing to worry about now.
He swung his sword stylishly, releasing a dance of phantoms.

"What?! Burt is Birthright rank... Has he improved that far?!" There was no shortage of martial elites among the guests who remained, and seven recognized Burt.
However, they were all stunned to see Burt release streaks of his pure vigor! "Birthright rank?!" Even the Graves family's martial elites were faltering when they heard that.
Burt's ffor his ferocity was certainly deserved, dismembering five men in a split second and leaving them screaming! It was a scene of horror! Chaz's eyes went red as he could see that his men were ready to bail, and he promptly yelled, "Don't you dare run away! Go!" Having no choice, the Graves' bodyguards gritted their teeth and charged.
Burt remained impassive as he cut them down, dyeing the hall that was once joyous and lively into a horrific red.
"Hmph!" Burt snorted coolly as he leapt lightly off the stE3, reaching Chaz instantly and holding the tip of his sword against his throat.

"You're a dead man if you hurt me! Titus Lionheart will never forgive you!" "You put it as if Titus would spareif | stayed my hand," Frank retorted.
Chaz stiffened right then and suddenly shrieked, "No! Don't kill me!" Then, turning toward a discreet corner below stage, he bellowed, "Neil Turnbull! Get out here already! Are you just going to watch as he kills me?!" "Neil Turnbull...?"* Frank was actually taken aback, though he soon remembered Jaud White's story and understood.
Neil must have been here, waiting until Titus Lionheart arrived.
Since he was a key figure in the Turnbull family, he just had to show up and accuse Frank of having an affair with Vicky.
After that, Titus would kill Frank and then bring Vicky back to Morhen, while Neil would take over Grande Pharma effortlessly. At that point, he just had to work with the Salazars to establish a chokehold in Riverton with the Beauty Pill and the Revitalization Pill.
They certainly had this all panned out! As Neil eventually braced himself and emerged from hiding, he snapped, "I'm surprised you actually came, Frank Lawrence!"
