However, neither Mel nor Matis expected Kat to have beca martial artist, and one with formidablestrength despite her tiny frame.

And the so-called Master Lawrence-sboastful, unseemly guest-was a martial artist too.

In fact, the five bodyguards were Matis' best men, but they did not even last a round! "J-Just you wait!"Matis snarled and turned to leave the ward.

Mel was reeling too, but she kept it to herself as she hurried after her son.

Catching up to him in the hallway, she asked in clear frustration, "Matis... What are we going to do? Arewe just going to let this slide?!" "Of course not, Mom-just calm down for a moment." Matis sneereddarkly. "This was never a problem. I'll call more people right now... they might be martial artists, but nomatter how good they are, can they really handle a hundred men?! Mel grinned smugly in turn. "That'smy son for you. Go on-make the call." "Yeah!" Matis nodded, whipped out his phone, and dialed anumber.

Before the call was answered, however, he heard the commotion down the hallway.novelbin

Both he and mother turned to see a huge group of people, all fully dressed in white as they strodedown the hallway.

"What? Aren't they..." Matis was taken aback, because he recognized his own boss among their ranks.

And upon a closer look, he realized he recognized all of them and clapped his mother on the shoulderexcitedly. "Mom! They are all from the Sorano family-key members and retainers at that!" "What?!They're from the Sorano family?!" It was the first tMel had ever seen such a profound sight. They werea large group of men, with people-clearing the path up front, and bigwigs wearing shades or hats from

the back. They varied in age, but all of them wore the signature white suits of the Sorano family, clearlyimportant figures within.

And at the center of EmiSorano himself, the eldest son of Zico Sorano, the head of the Sorano family.

Though their presence might even be more stellar than sstar celebrities strolling down a street, Melnoticed something unusual at the very back.

et Several men were carrying a stretcher, on which lay a youth who vel.

was biting into a mouthguard in clea anguish. He kept grunting and groaning, clearly fighting it. S Asthe group approached, Matis had an idea and hurried to his boss with a fawning smile. "Lobo, Lobo?Hey, it's me, Matis!" "Matis?" Lobo turned in surprise toward Matis, frowning as he asked, "What areyou doing here in Loggins Apothecary?" "Oh, nothing much... It's your birthday, isn't it? See, I alreadybought you a gift but I was robbed in broad daylight right here. And it's a martial artist..." Matis liedunabashedly, tically shaking his head and sighing. "The five bodyguards I brought were all beaten up...I would've been hurt too, but I got away quickly." S Lobo frowned. "Really? Did you tell him who youare?" Matis could barely hide his inward glee even as Frank's face cto mind.
