Chapter 359
Hans actually became interested in those words, since Frank was always surrounded by beauties.
“Oh, really?” he murmured and turned to glance at Vicky and Yara, who were both flanking
Frank.
If things went well, Robert could well become Frank’s father in–law…
And with that in mind, his attitude toward Robert eased.
“I see.” He chuckled. “Well, Mr. Lawrence had given express instructions not to blab on his roots… though I could give you a hint.”
Robert beamed. “Of course, colonel. Do tell.”
“Do
you know about Mystic Sky Sect, hailing from the South Sea?”
Rovert scratched his head, hesitating for a while before answering, “I have heard of the name, but I don’t know anything specific.”
He had heard a thing or two, that they were an ancient sect–far more powerful than Flying Sword Sect.
Hans sighed. “Then let me put it to you this way–if Mr. Lawrence puts his foot down, even Mystic Sky Sect will quake.”
“What?” Rovert was astonished.
He had never underestimated Frank ever since he witnessed the depth of his martial knowledge and even had hunches about his identity.
However, he would never have thought Frank to be so profound!
Still, it begged a question.
“B–But if he has such authority… Why would he stay secluded in Riverton?”
Hans clapped him on the shoulder. “I’m afraid that’s beyond our paygrade. Just keep both eyes on Mr. Lawrence, and contact me if things look bad. Naturally, try to fulfill any requests he may have too–you’ll have your cut when it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.”
“Of course, of course.‘
Robert nodded repeatedly–Hans did not have to tell him that.
With that, Hans got in his truck and left, while Robert returned to Frank. “That was truly an eye–opener, Mr. Lawrence. How about dinner at my place?”
Frank shook his head. “I’ll take a rain check. I still have something else to do.”
“Of course,” Robert replied.
“I’ll give you a ride, Frank!” Vicky offered just then, since she had many questions for Frank. Frank nodded and got in.
Robert watched as they left before nudging Yara beside him. “Weren’t you saying that you and

Frank were going out?”

Yara froze right then. “Dad… I actually just wanted you to help him out before. We were never a thing.”
Robert waved her off. “Oh, I don’t mean to be accusive. If anything, I’d like you to do your best from now on.”
“Huh?” Yara appeared perplexed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Just do your best to make Frank your boyfriend,” Robert said solemnly. “The kid is something special. You need to win him over before he rises to the top soon. And I’m your dad -I know you enough to see that you like him.”
Yara blushed and lowered her head, twirling her fingers as she muttered, “Dad, please…”
Robert frowned. “What? Or are you saying you don’t like him? Very well, I’ll discuss a proposal with him myself tomorrow.”
“No, Dad…” Yara groaned under her breath. “You won’t know this, but Vicky really likes Frank too. I’d never win–she has the looks and the family background.”
Vicky was also an apprentice of her father’s, and she knew Vicky well enough to tell that she was definitely interested in Frank. If it were any other person who would dare to speak with Vicky so insolently, she would have sent them flying with a kick.
Robert sighed in disappointment. “Oh, you silly child. What if Frank prefers your type? And don’t you think it’s embarrassing, admitting defeat even before you enter the ring?!”
