Chapter 216
Rolf quickly pleaded, “P–Please, Mr. Lawrence. It’s all just a misunderstanding. Let’s just pretend I never said anything…”
Frank remained impassive even as he stood before Rolf. “Misunderstanding? You were demanding my blood just a moment ago.
Rolf quickly waved his hands. “No, I don’t want it. Let’s pretend it never happened.”
Frank chuckled coolly. “Easy for you to say.”
The look of disdain in Frank’s eyes left Rolf panicking. “W–What are you doing? I may be Kenny Sparks‘ cousin, but he’s like a brother to me… You can’t kill me. He gave you a Myriad Hued Snow Lotus too. Isn’t that enough in exchange for my life?”
Frank snorted. “You’d be dead if not for Kenny.”
And with those words, he grabbed Rolf’s arm.
“What are you doing?!” Rolf cried.
“Breaking your arm,” Frank growled. “Disrespect me again, and not even Kenny can save you.
And with those words, he gave a squeeze, and Rolf’s arm broke with a resounding crack!
“Argh!!!”
A blood–curdling scream resounded across the second floor as Rolf clutched his arm, twitching and flailing in agony.
Phineas was left gaping at Frank.
No matter how ballsy he was, he would never break Rolf’s arm–it would be a terrible insult to Skyblade Dojo!
Once Frank turned and left, Phineas hurried to Rolf. “Are you alright, Mr. Sparks?”
“My arm is broken! How the fuck could I be alright?!” Rolf swore. “Get me to the hospital!
“Yes, yes…” Phineas promptly carried him to the hospital, gulping.
Naturally, Riverton City Hospital took their new patient seriously–it was the vice–master of Skyblade Dojo, after all.
Even Dan Zimmer was called in. However, he and Hali King–the chief of Riverton City Hospital–were both stunned when they saw the mess that was Rolf’s arm.
Very bone in your arm is broken, Mr. Sparks… What machine could have done this?” Hali quickly asked.
Rolf growled through his teeth, “I got hurt in a fight.”
“What?!” Hali gasped. “Who could have done this to you?”
Rolf ignored it as he asked, “Mr. King, Mr. Zimmer–can you help me?”
Hali shook his head. “There’s no mending all the bones in your arm, Mr. Sparks.”
Rolf turned toward Dan at that, pinning all his hopes on him.
Dan was pensive for a while. “Ordinary methods won’t work, but I have a suggestion…”
Rolf’s eyes lit up with hope. “What is it, Mr. Zimmer? I can pay you however much you want if you can help me!”
Dan smiled! but shook his head. “Oh, it’s beyond me. But there’s this medicine called the Ichor Pill that recently debuted here in Riverton, and only one man can make it. If you can earn his favor, he would definitely help.”
Rolf almost choked right then, and after a while, he quietly said, “Frank Lawrence was the one who broke my arm.”
“What?” Dan paled in shock, not expecting Frank to be the one who hurt Rolf. “In that case…. there’s nothing I can do.”
Just then, Kenny arrived at the hospital, having rushed there immediately after hearing that Rolf had been attacked.
“What happened to your hand?” he asked.
Rolf’s eyes lit up with hope when he saw Kenny, and he sobbed. “It’s ruined now, Kenny… I can’t wield a blade anymore…”
