However, Frank did not allow the masked man a single moment's rest and lunged forward again!
"Die!" the masked man yelled as he pulled his collar, freeing his jacket and launching a rain of silver needles!
Frank parried some with his machete, while using his other hand to shield his face.
He knocked down most, but several struck his body.
The masked man laughed pompously in turn. "That's three needles! You're dead now! No one can cure my poison—cut off your own arm and beg if you want to live!"
Frank could feel a chill even as he directed his vigor, and it was a familiar sensation…
It was Snowshade, which Vicky was poisoned with before.
That also means the masked man had poisoned Vicky before! He must not let him free!
Earnestly furious, Frank launched another slash through the air!
The masked man paled in terror, never expecting Frank to keep directing his vigor even after all that!
He dodged and did not pause as he shouted at Les, "Run! We're no match for him!"
With those words, both of them leaped out of the window.
Frank naturally gave chase, machete in hand.
Behind him, the masked man's hitmen were all left dumbfounded.
Did their boss just bolt? Should they run as well, or keep fighting?
In the case of the latter, the woman before them who was just freed was clearly a fighter, even knocking down over twenty of their ranks!
With that, some started to flee, and more soon followed!
Still, Yara did not have time to go after them. Instead, she turned and ran after Frank.

Les stepped out from between the trees right then, and Frank turned to find that Les had trained a gun on him.
Glaring murderously, Frank growled, "Aren't you Vicky's cousin?"
He remembered Les, having come across him in the security room, but they never had any argument.
"So what?" Les growled through his teeth.
"Why would you want to kill me? My fight is not with you." Frank said in curiosity.
"We simply walk different paths," Les replied. "Since you chose to side with Vicky, prepare to die!"
The masked man yelled, "Don't waste your breath! Kill him, and rendezvous with me later!"
With that, he sprang to his feet and fled, while Frank watched as he left.
He reasoned again, "You're Vicky's cousin, but you betrayed her. You won't live when she finds out."
