ineas was left bleeding from Frank’s kick, but he remained unfettered.
‘ou’re dead meat, son,” he growled. “My men number up to the hundreds–you’re not tting away even if you kill me.”
ank scoffed. “I can’t say about the others, but you’re definitely dying here.”
is haughty reaction certainly did not sit well with Phineas. “f**k! Try me! I’m warning you- yblade Dojo has my back. Have you ever heard of them?!”
the end, mobsters like Phineas either involved themselves in business to turn legitimate or lied themselves with important families or factions.
to
10 Grayson did the latter by swearing fealty to the Chandlers of Middleton, and Phineas did e same with Skyblade Dojo of Riverton.
nd he was certainly getting conceited about it!
Skyblade Dojo…?”
oth Gina and Helen were bemused–they did not usually go out of their way to learn about iverton’s major factions. In fact, they had heard about Skyblade Dojo, but not why they hould be feared.
n the other hand, Chris was bewildered.
> that was why Phineas did not fear the Salazars–Skyblade Dojo had his back!
Let go of Mr. Tomkins right now!” he shouted frantically.
psetting some mob boss was fine, but they could not afford to provoke Skyblade Dojo!
Mr. Steiner? What’s the deal with Skyblade Dojo?” Gina asked blankly.
They are one of Riverton’s major martial arts factions,” Chris quickly explained. “Equal in fluence with the owner of the Flora Hall and the chief secretary. They also have apprentices cross the country, meaning their hands reach inside every cookie jar. We can’t afford to rovoke them they could destroy us like it’s nothing!”
ina gulped and asked gingerly, “Are they more powerful than the Turnbulls?”
Of course,” Chris replied. “Even with their connections at the capital, the Turnbulls are
erely their equal.”
What?!” Gina knew how powerful the Turnbulls were.
Skyblade Dojo were their equals, they were not to be challenged!
elen started to panic too–the most influential people she was acquainted with at the toment were the Turnbulls and Trevor Zurich. She was certainly afraid of a faction that was 1 equal with the Turnbulls!
ina promptly wrung her hands at Frank. “Stop! Let Mr. Tomkins go right now! We can’t ford to upset Skyblade Dojo!”
elen was leveling a mournful look at Frank too. “Let him go, Frank. We could sit down and
talk this out…”
“He just demanded your hand,” Frank growled, shooting her a look of frustration–she still thought they could talk about this?!
“Ah…” Helen was stumped–this was certainly a dilemma.
If Frank let go of Phineas, the thugs would cut him down immediately…
She did not know what to do!
On the other hand, Peter bellowed at Frank right then, “Let go of him, or we’re all going to die!
He could not care less that Phineas was going to break his sister’s hand, as long as he was fine! But as long as Frank held on to Phineas, they would all end up in a sorry state!
Phineas narrowed his eyes in turn and sneered. “I see you’re really attached to the woman, son. So how about this–break your own arm, and I won’t press the issue.”
