"What? What's going on?" Frank turned to Hux, puzzled by his reaction.

Hux leaned in to whisper under his breath, "That's Ned Janko. He's Pax Darman's benefactor."

Frank raised a brow. "Is the Janko family really that impressive?"

Hux made a weary look at his question. "Well, Ned's family is next to the Four Families of Morhen in importance, and Ned himself is second-in-line to inherit leadership of the family. Moreover, the Jankos have recently attempted to claim the vacant seat among the Four Families, following the decline of the Lawrence family."

"Oh, I see..." Frank rubbed his chin in realization.

That was when Pax, catching both Frank and Hux off guard, hurried to Ned's side with the Four Kings.

"Hoho..." He chuckled. "I'm awash with gratitude, Mr. Janko... To think that you'd come personally!"

As he spoke, Pax glanced sideways at Hux and smiled smugly when he saw Hux's face turn pale.
