Mark remained as steady as a mountain. Not only did he have a blank expression, but even his eyes betrayed no hint of emotion.
I couldn't help but admire his mental strength.
Despite being free, he was still able to keep up the act like this. He seemed like he would be perfect for undercover work.
The people around us were stunned into silence by Frankie's actions, but when they saw that Mark didn't react at all, they erupted into cheers and screams.
"Frankie's amazing!"
"All those rich boys from before are nothing compared to Frankie. They had dogs, but Frankie turned a man into one! Is there anything more badass than that?"
"Mark is a beast! Even a tiger would shudder at the sight of him. How did Frankie manage to get him to obey so completely?"
Not only were they shocked, but even Liana widened her eyes and looked at Frankie with a newfound respect.
It was true. If Frankie could win Mark's loyalty through his own abilities, he would be truly impressive.
However, I knew the real story.
It was nothing but a scam. Frankie was taking advantage of Mark's naivety.
After displaying his complete control over Mark, Frankie wore a satisfied smile and then turned his gaze toward me.
He pointed at me and said, "Loser, you're as good as dead! Mark, get over here and grab him!"
The crowd immediately buzzed with excitement.
"It's happening! Mark's about to make his move!"
