Truth be told, Burt had reached the position he was in today by his own merit and surprised even Sage Lake Sect.
As such, there were ssect members who becwary of Burt rising to power.
Meanwhile, both Frank and Burt drank a lot as they stayed at The Dynasty past midnight, having finished so many bottles that even the waiters and waitresses were starting to get afraid.
"Mr. Lawrence, allowto drive you home," Burt offered.
He did not drink as much as Frank since he was asking for his instructions and was more or less sober.

As he helped Frank out of The Dynasty, he looked up to find Aria crouching in front of Frank's Maybach, shivering from the cold.
"You're still here?" he asked.
Aria quickly leapt to her feet, rubbing her cheeks as she grinned. "Well, | was just thinking Frank had a lot to drink, and he'd need someone to drive him home." "You can drive?" Burt studied Aria from head to toe.
Being a law enforcement officer for years, he could tell immediately that the girl was naive.

After taking a careful bath, she kept her clothes off and sneaked into Frank's arms.
Before she slept, she sent his location to her best friend Winter.
When Winter entered the room at noon the next day, she shrieked, "Ahh—!" "Hmm...?" Frank sat up, rubbing his head which ached from a nasty hangover.
He immediately saw Aria in his arms, as well as Winter who was grasping at the door and staring at them in disbelief.
"Frank, what." Winter's jaw hung open, unable to say a word.
Eventually, she cto her senses and slammed the door shut before she turned and fled, sobbing.
