Frank's Revenge

"Welcome to Warp Group. From now on, just call me Boss."

Carl nodded in satisfaction, then explained why Frank's family had been targeted.

"You've probably already noticed without me telling you. Those gang members showing up there wasn't a coincidence. Someone wanted to use them to kill your whole family."

"And the source of it all is related to Operation Hellhound, which you just completed in Kandahar..."

"What?!!"

The moment he heard that all-too-familiar operation codename, Frank's eyes widened as one brutal scene after another uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

It had been during Operation Hellhound, led by the CIA.

The assault team Frank had belonged to had suffered devastating casualties, losing several brothers who had fought alongside him through life and death.

It was also why he had sorrowfully decided to leave the military early.

But what did that have to do with his family's "attack"?

However.

Carl's next words not only shattered Frank's once-unshakable beliefs, but also overturned his understanding of the world.

"William Rawlins, the CIA director and the man behind Operation Hellhound, has been using the bodies of fallen soldiers to smuggle drugs."

"The reason your squad's operation failed was entirely because he sabotaged it from the shadows."

"Besides that, your good brother Billy Russo is in league with him. He was involved in everything that happened in Kandahar."

"No... that's impossible. I saved Billy's life. He would never do this to me."

Frank's face was filled with disbelief.

But his defense seemed so pale and powerless.

"Why is it impossible?"

Carl said blandly, "In the face of enormous profit, what does your brotherhood even amount to?"

"Although Billy Russo wasn't directly involved in this operation to silence your family, he was one of the people who knew about it."

Frank was struck as if by lightning.

Even his muscular body began to tremble slightly.

If William Rawlins using soldiers' corpses to traffic drugs had only filled him with incomparable rage,

then the "betrayal" of his good brother left him with heart-wrenching disappointment.

You bastard. I treated you like a brother, and you wanted to kill my whole family?!

Only after a long silence did some life return to Frank's body.

He had decided. He would kill his own brother himself!

Frank stared with bloodshot eyes and said in a low voice, "First... Boss, while I go settle things with those people, could you protect my family?"

Although Frank had never seen Carl fight,

he was absolutely certain that this man, who seemed capable of seeing through everything, possessed the strength to protect his family.

"No problem."

Carl seemed to have anticipated that the other man would make this choice. The corner of his mouth curled slightly.

"But I have one condition. While you're acting, record the entire process with a body camera. I happen to have an idea I want to verify through this."

"And... the world needs to know the truth!!!"

The next day.

At Frank's home.

"Big brother, are you really my dad's boss?"

"But shouldn't bosses all be bald, potbellied, short, fat middle-aged uncles?"

In the living room, Frank's son and daughter blinked their sparkling eyes as they gathered around Carl and asked curiously.

"Uh... there are also bosses like me—handsome, wealthy, young, and promising."

A warm, sunny smile appeared on Carl's face as he said softly,

"Your father is a great hero. It's our company's honor to recruit him, which is why I came personally to invite him."

"Wow, sis, did you hear that? Dad's amazing..."

"I knew Dad was a great hero!!"

Hearing someone praise their father, the two children immediately cheered and danced with joy.

It was easy to see that although Frank had missed most of their childhood,

the children still deeply admired their father.

"All right, you two, stop making trouble here. Go do your homework already."

Maria came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of hot coffee. After handing it to Carl, she said apologetically,

"Mr. Mala, I'm so sorry. Frank just said over the phone that his car broke down on the way, but I'm sure he'll be back soon."

"He specifically told me to make sure you stayed for dinner before leaving. I'll go prepare the ingredients in the kitchen now."

So as not to arouse his family's suspicions,

Frank and Carl had arranged a little "home visit" act in advance.

But Maria was not as easy to fool as the children.

Even though Frank had repeatedly confirmed Carl's identity over the phone, she still vaguely sensed that something was off.

For one thing, what kind of boss personally came to an employee's home to conduct an interview?

Fortunately, Carl had already seen through her thoughts.

During their subsequent conversation, he dispelled all her doubts in just a few words.

Now, in Maria's eyes, Carl was simply a super-rich second-generation heir like Tony Stark, someone who liked to be unconventional!

So nothing outrageous he did seemed strange.

Naturally, Carl could not be bothered to explain.

"We interrupt this program with breaking news... According to information just received by our reporter, an attack took place just over ten minutes ago at the headquarters of Chopping Block, a private military contractor located in Manhattan.

Twenty-one people have been confirmed dead so far, including the company's owner, Billy Russo.

An official spokesperson stated that the killer possessed extremely strong counter-surveillance abilities, and no information connected to the suspect has been found yet..."

At that moment, the report suddenly coming from the television caught Carl's attention.

See that? That's what you call professional.

That's professional!!

Frank truly deserved to be considered at the very pinnacle of human individual combat power.

Not only had he successfully taken out an enemy in such a short time, he had even found time to call his family along the way.

Tell me, was that impressive or what?

"Oh my God, Billy is dead?!"

Maria walked out of the kitchen with an incredulous expression.

After confirming that the photo released on television was indeed him, she cried out,

"Billy was Frank's best friend. Frank must be devastated when he hears this news!"

No, you guessed wrong. Frank wasn't devastated at all.

Because he was the one who killed him with his own hands!

Carl did not speak to comfort Maria, whose face was full of grief.

Instead, he turned his attention to the light screen that only he could see.

"Hmm? My Reputation Points really haven't increased..."
