Chapter 217
Kenny quickly asked, “Who did this to you?”
“Who else?” Rolf groaned through tears. “Frank Lawrence! I was just giving him the Myriad Hued Snow Lotus, but he had to insult our family and demand we keep finding the Elemental Wonders for him. I argued, and he broke my arm!”
Beside them, Phineas simply listened to Rolf lie through his teeth, not daring to
On the other hand, Kenny was as stunned as he was skeptical.
argue…
Even if Frank could get obstinate in the time he knew the man, he was never one who went out of his way to insult others.
“No way, Mr. Lawrence isn’t like that…‘
“You don’t really know him, Kenny!” Rolf cried, grabbing Kenny’s arm. “Help me! You’re my only hope!”
While Dan was himself surprised that Rolf was the one who broke Frank’s arm, he stepped forward and said, “Mr. Sparks, I believe this issue requires investigation. Both you and I have met Frank in person–he may be prideful, but he doesn’t stoop to insulting others. Something’s not right.”
Rolf promptly glared at Dan, his eyes narrowing. “What do you mean by that?! Are you calling me a liar?!”
However, Kenny was already frowning as he mused to himself. He actually believed Dan more than Rolf, and Rolf had been scheming to acquire Ichor Pills on top of that.
The kid could well have misspoken and provoked Frank….
“I’ll talk to Mr. Lawrence about this,” Kenny soon told Rolf. “You stay out of this–I’m sure he’s magnanimous enough to forgive you.”
Rolf was dumbfounded.
His plan was to trick Kenny into sending everyone from Skyblade Dojo after Frank, killing him and draining his essence dry.
And yet, Kenny refused, insisting on talking things out with Frank.
Moreover, would the truth not be revealed once they made contact?
“Talk about what?!” Rolf promptly cried. “You can’t trust Frank. He’s going to set you up if you meet him alone!”
“Enough!” Kenny was not tricked, however and calmly explained, “If Frank really were a bad person, he would have demanded a lot more when he treated Father. You just stay put and focus on getting better–and stay away from Frank!”
His tone made it clear that it was non–negotiable, and he left the room with those words.
Dan and Hali followed suit, leaving Rolf alone with Phineas.
He slammed his fist on the table, spite and fury flaring in his eyes.
Chapter 217
Kenny had paid through his nose and pulled so many strings just to get Frank that Myriad Hued Snow Lotus.
On the other hand, he did not care that Rolf needed the Ichor Pill.
And he was like a brother to him!
Still, Phineas‘ suddenly had an idea and approached Rolf. “Mr. Sparks… The way I see it, Frank probably wouldn’t give Kenny the pill, given his attitude.”
Rolf glared at him. “You think?!”
“Exactly–it’s better to do it yourself than ask for it,” Phineas said. “It’s pointless to pin your hopes on others.”
“What are you talking about?” Rolf snorted. “I can’t tell the dojo’s apprentices what to do, and your goons would never win against Frank. We’re never getting the Ichor Pill!”
“Yes, and since brute force is not an option, we can be smart about this.” Phineas chuckled. “I know for a fact that Helen Lane of Lane Holdings is Frank’s ex–wife. Even if they’re divorced, they definitely still care about each other…”
