Chapter 346
Trevor did a double take—it seemed that war with Flying Sword Sect was inevitable.
Meanwhile, Carol’s eyes were red as she hurried to her son, asking worriedly, “What actually happened, Fred?”
Fred hung his head, stumped. “I’m sorry, Mom… I killed people”
“B–But why? You’re not like that,” Carol sobbed in heartache.
Fred’s eyes welled up with tears. “I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry…‘
“Marian was cheating on him with Brock,” Frank said just then. “Fred killed them both in his rage.”
Carol froze at Frank’s words, uncertain.
She was not sure what she should say now–she certainly could not tell her son to just bear with being made a cuck!
On the other hand, Winter was more concerned about Fred’s future. “What are you going to do now, Fred?”
Fred kept his head lowered–he never thought about that.
Beside him, Frank said, “I’ll arrange for him to hide abroad. That’s the only way to save him.”
He turned toward Fred, waiting for his answer.
“Oh… But can he come back?” Carol asked in concern.
“That would be very difficult. It’s up to him to make a foothold abroad for himself,” Frank replied.
He was not going to help Fred all the way–the kid would only get bullied again if he was constantly dependent.
Frank was also keen to find out what Fred was made of too.
Fred gritted his teeth just then and said, “Thank you, Frank. I owe you my
life.”
It was a shame he could not bring his family along, but this was his best option at the moment. But at the very least, Frank would make sure that they were safe, which spared him the worry. Frank nodded. “I’ll have Mr. Zurich make the arrangements to transport you right away.” “Please watch over my family, Frank,” Fred said and kowtowed to him three times audibly. Frank did not stop him–it was his way of saying he accepted Fred’s request.
Winter stared at Fred wistfully in turn before suddenly taking off the pendant from her necklace and putting it in Fred’s hands.
“Take this and use it if you have to,” she told him. “Mr. Lawrence gave it to me for my birthday–I heard it’s worth a lot of money.”
She then turned to Frank. “I know this is poor manners, Mr. Lawrence… Please don’t be too harsh on me.”

Frank, however, was nodding in approval. “I don’t blame you. I’m happy to see that you value your kinship so much.”
He certainly did not want Winter to behave like some ingrate, and her gesture actually won him over.
Fred bit his lip even as he grasped the pendant, his tears rolling down his cheeks as he swore, Mom, Winter… I’ll be back and give you a better life. Believe me.”
Staring at Winter, she added, “Take good care of Mom when I’m not around. Go to Mr. Lawrence if anything happens–you can trust him.”
“Yeah.” Winter nodded through tears.
Once Fred was prepared by midnight, Trevor had his tickets ready, while Frank personally escorted him to the airport.
“I’ve spoken to our contacts in South Asterion, sir,” Trevor told him. They will be there to receive Fred.”
Frank nodded, satisfied. “Also, arranged for martial elites to watch over Carol and Winter. Keep them safe.”
“Don’t worry, sir,” Trevor replied. “I’ve already arranged for my best men to watch over them.
Meanwhile, everyone from the Yaffe family were gathered at the Flying Sword Sect of Riverton’s headquarters, where Seth Yaffe’s corpse was laid in the middle of the main hall.
