FreeNovel"Ned... I'll kill you... You—" Ned punched Yed in the face even before Yed could finish threatening him, sending Yed slamming into the ground.
Yed's bodyguards rushed forward, ready to save him, only to see Frank shifting his weight between his legs.

"You can keep coming if you don't mind dying." The bodyguards all paused right then in fear, caught in a dilemma as they watched Frank fold his arms before his chest.
That was when a mini tram bounded down the cobblestone path and a Janko retainer leapt out.
"M-Mr. Lawrence!" he cried. "Ciril Janko has gone amok—please, you have to help him!" "Amok?" Frank frowned, his expression suddenly cool. "I was very clear about not touching him. Did you not follow my instructions?" "W-We did." the retainer paused awkwardly. "But we were distracted for a moment, and Hal climbed on top of Ciril, and." "Save it." Frank waved him off. "I get the idea. It was planned ahead anyway." Frank then turned toward Yed, whom Ned had clobbered into a pulp and was barely breathing. "Even the brat's shenanigans were probably deliberate—Yed here had most likely put him up to it." "Yed put him up to it.? Oh!" It was only then that the retainer saw Yed, held by the collar by Ned. "W- What's the meaning of this, Ned?" "It's exactly as you can see!" Ned bellowed.
He was just feeling spirited from immense catharsis, his chest feeling light never before.
Turning toward the retainer, he flashed a cool smile and said, "Yed here has already confessed to poisoning our father. but that's not all. He was ready to kill both myself and Mr. Lawrence here and would have succeeded if not for Mr. Lawrence. Father would have died with the truth eternally buried!" Then, turning to Yed's bodyguards, he bellowed with strength and authority that he long kept concealed, "I'm now asking all of you as the next head of the Janko family: Was there a single lie in my words? Confess!"

His pressure overwhelmed Yed's bodyguards right then , and all of them dropped tho their knees.
"Y-Yes." "Yed Janko has admitted that he poisoned Master Janko."
Seeing that they were not confessing under coercion and instead out of guilt, the Janko retainer turned in disbelief toward Yed. "What on earth... How could Judo this; Yed? He's your father! He treasured you so much—how could you be so heinous?!" "That's enough," Frank said, stopping them. "I'm leaving to check on Mr. Janko now. And Ned, don't kill your brother yet—we still need his confession. And from what | can see, even your stepmother was involved." Ned did a double take, his expression troubled by Frank's instructions.
Though Yed remained silent throughout, Ned kicked him as hard as he could once again.
