“Since my mission is done, I‘m leaving!” Frank patted Melanie on the shoulder. He walked calmly in
Nathaniel‘s direction, not caring much about the angry man blocking his exit.
“Stop!” In anger, Nathaniel grabbed Frank‘s arm and gritted his teeth. “You think you can just leave?
“What about it?” Frank smirked wickedly.
At first, Nathaniel was still trying to hold in his rage because of Frank‘s social status, as he could not
afford to be rashi. However, when he heard what Frank had to say, his anger erupted, and he punched
Frank in the face, yelling, “You b*stard!”
It was a solid punch, but it did not aggravate Frank at all. He fell back, and as he regained his balance,
he touched the corner of his lips and saw blood. “I‘ll let you off on behalf of Ms. Neville, but if you dare
throw another punch, I won‘t let you off that easily.”
“Who needs it?” Frank‘s words easily set Nathaniel off, and since he had already hit him once, he might
as well go all out. Nathaniel charged at Frank and began throwing wild punches at him.
Just as Frank promised, he stopped being civil and retaliated. The two men ended up in a brawl.
Melanie threw up in the sink for a while before regaining her composure. They were already tangled up
in a fight when she turned her head toward them.
Melanie stood to the side for a few moments to calm down before approaching them to break up the
fight, “Please, stop it! Stop fighting!”
It was all in vain, as they were too engrossed in their fight to hear her. The altercation moved from the
lab to the hallway outside. Most of the furniture had been overturned, and glass was shattered all over
the floor. They were creating such a commotion that Melanie worried it might alert the guard. It would
only lead to unwelcome difficulties for them if others saw this.
“Stop it! Stop fighting!” After trying to stop them several times to no avail, Melanie finally yelled at the
top of her voice, “Nathaniel! Do you want everyone to know what happened here?”
Her outburst finally broke up the fight. Nathaniel was momentarily stunned, and he ended up taking a
punch to the jaw. “Ow...” Nathaniel gasped in pain as he saw stars now. Thankfully, Frank stopped
attacking when he noticed that Nathaniel had stopped moving. He let go of Nathaniel and shakily stood
up. “Nate...” When Melanie saw they had stopped fighting, she quickly rushed over and helped
Nathaniel.
She knew that trying to stop Frank would just be a waste of time, so she aimed for Nathaniel instead,
as she knew that he still cared about what others thought of him. Nathaniel staggered to his feet, his
head still dizzy. He saw someone moving back and forth in front of him, so he raised his head to look
Once he noticed Melanie‘s worried face, his anger returned, and he shoved her hard, “Get away from
me!” Melanie almost fell backward from the force, but luckily Frank held onto her. This only angered
Nathaniel further.
