Ned paused upon hearing Frank asking about his father's condition, and his heart skipped a beat when he remembered how Frank had counteracted the nervebreaker that Pax used on them before.

"My brother said my father's lips had turned purple," he explained. "His limbs are also twitching and icecold, and he has already lost consciousness." Frank nodded and could tell right away that an ice-type poison had been used on Ned's father.

Musing to himself, he said, "We can discuss the partnership later, but you'd best keep this pill with you if you want to stay alive long enough to do so." "Huh? What?" Ned appeared puzzled even as he took the yellow pill.

"It's a pill that specifically counteracts ice-type poison. If your brother has given you the correct description, that's what your father's been poisoned with. The pill will at least remedy it for a few days." The pill was no real loss to Frank either, since it was nothing that precious—it was just spill he refined while he was refining other pills.

"Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" Ned exclaimed and hurried away.

"Hux." Frank then beckoned, and Hux hurried to him from his bar, his expression utterly fawning.

"Well, you have your wish now—you're the boss of the Sunblazers." Frank grinned.

"All thanks to you, Mr. Lawrence." Hux nodded gratefully. "I'd have been killed yesterday if not for you, let alone becthe boss. | owe you my life." Frank nodded in turn.

Hux really was sharp—even the thugs in Morhen had brains.

"Well, I'm giving your first assignment now," Frank said EJietly.

"Do tell, Mr. Lawrence. I'll run to the fire pit for you without complaint!" Hux exclaimed, patting his chest audibly.

"Haha." Frank chuckled as he looked Hux in the eye. "I want you to look into the Lionhearts." "Of course! I'll send my men right away. What?!" Hux was about to say yes, only to pause and gape at Frank in panic.

"M-Mr. Lawrence." He flashed a pained smile. "I-l know what | said about sacrificing myself. But looking into the Lionhearts? We Sunblazers are just a humble gang—we really don't have what it takes." It was a little too much to ask! Naturally, Hux did not say that last part.

Still, Frank could see Hux's misgivings, and Hux would be right.

Against a leviathan like the Lionhearts, the Sunblazers were really insignificant. - Morhen was divided into five zones: the northern, eastern, southern and western zones, and the core city.

The northern, eastern, southern and western zones were also each divided into outer zones and the inner zones.

The outer reaches were ruled by local bigwigs, kingpins, and the like, whereas the inner zones—which together formed the inner city—occupied most of the city's expanse and was the affluent turf of the Four Families of Morhen.

As for the core city, that was a place not just anyone could enter.

After all, the official residence of Draconia's president was there, along with the rest of the government. Even the Martial Alliance was rumored to have their base set up there.

And the Sunblazers were just a modest gang based in the outer reaches of South Morhen. How were they supposed to help Frank against the Lionhearts, residing in the Eastern Morhen's inner zone? They would just be putting their heads into the lion's mouth, pun intended! Frank, however, did not get upset at Hux's resistance toward the idea and smiled faintly. "Don't worry. I'd just like you to find out if there's anything happening with the Lionheart family, and it's fine if you cup with anything —just do whatever you can." Hux sighed in relief at Frank's words and wiped the sweat off his brow.

With their numbers, just asking around for information was easy enough.
