Striding up to Bruce, Frank demanded bluntly, "Others might not see it, but you probably sensed that someone was helping you cheat, no?"

As it turned out, Bruce had integrity and nodded. "You're right sir. I did feel it happened but chose to ignore it because I wanted to win."

Frank laughed. "At least you're honest! Also, I heard what you said, and that alone proves your loyalty, which is why I'll stay my hand. However, you still deserve to be punished, or I'd have to suffer more cheaters, and I'm not sure I want that."

"Don't worry. I know full well what broken bones can lead to, so I didn't really hurt him aside from superficially."
