Chapter 121
| couldn't imagine how the Whites would torture Frankie if he gauged my eye out.
As I'd expected, his eyes widened at the mention of the White family of Gothville. He asked, "You're part of the
White family?"
| answered honestly, "I'm a third-generation member of the family, as well as its heir."
Frankie was floored. He repeated incredulously, "Heir?" Then, he burst out into laughter.
"Kid, if you'd said you were a distantly relative of the Whites, | would have believed you. Do you think I'm dumb
enough to believe that you could possibly be the heir to the White family? Why would the White heir cto
Welsington and have dinner at such a run-down place? You must be kidding me!"
Elaine leaned over curiously. "Mr. Russo, are the Whites a powerful family?"
Frankie scoffed and said, "Let's put it this way. If he really turns out to be the heir to the White family, our lives
are ruined for good."

"They must be very powerful!" Elaine's eyes widened in surprise.
However, she soon broke into giggles."William, oh William. Even if you were making stuff up, you should have
stuck with something more realistic. If you were going to say that you're the heir to the White family, you might
as well just claim to be next in line to the royal throne!
"Right, Mr. Russo. | nearly forgot to tell you. The kid even put on a show for us before you came. He made a
phone call and threatened to get spowerful people to help him out. It's hilarious, really. No one came!"
Frankie frowned and said disdainfully, "Stop wasting ttalking to the boy. Wrap things up with him. I've got
many things to do."
He shot a meaningful glance at one of his minions, Paxton McLean, who
immediately grabbed my arms and forced them behind my back to preventfrom moving. The other held my
head.
Without hesitation, Frankie stabbed atwith his cigarette.
| snapped my eyes shut immediately.
Agony washed overas the burning stub pressed onto my eyelids.
| gritted my teeth to stop myself from screaming.
"You've got a backbone, kid. I'll give you that. But you won't be so lucky next time."
He then punched my stomach. While | groaned from the impact, he pried my eyes open and stabbed atwith
the cigarette once more.
This was bad. | wouldn't actually beca one-eyed wonder, would I? The guards protecting the White family
were too slow!
The cigarette suddenly stopped inches away from my eye. Then, | heard a squelch as Frankie's arm fell to the
floor. Blood gushed out of the severed stump. Seven got on my face.
The guests who had been watching on shrieked in terror and scattered.
Elaine stared at Frankie and his missing limb, failing to regain her composure.

A man in a wide-brimmed hat and a black coat strode over. He had leather gloves on and was holding a
gleaming dagger.
"Mr. White, | accept any punishment you decide to bestow uponfor my lateness."
As he spoke, he slashed at the two minions holdingup. They recoiled in horror, scared that their limbs would
get chopped off just like how Frankie's had.
| was freed from my restraints, and my hands flew to touch my flaming eyelid.
However, the man grabbed my arm and said, "Mr. White, don't touch it. It'll leave a scar."
I shook his hand off and ordered angrily, "Shut it with the nonsense. Deal with them now."
"Yes, sir."
He took his hat off and placed it on a nearby table. Then, he turned around and scanned the room. He said
coldly, "If you were just here to watch the commotion, shut your mouth and get out now. If not, you'll suffer the
sfate as this man."
The bystanders paled and left immediately.
Even the restaurant manager and staff, who were hiding behind the door, hadn't dared to stay.
