Nonetheless, Frank hesitated for a while before clapping Susan on the shoulder. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Turnbull—now isn't the time. We need to find out what happened."

"What happened…?" Walter murmured, confused even as he looked around at members of his extended family gathered around him.

He then smacked his head and frowned as he recalled, "Hold on, shouldn't I attend Denise Laine's coming-of-age ceremony? How did I get here?"

"Jet brought you back." Glen turned toward a towering man with hardened facial features, looking around his thirties.

"Jet…?" Walter was stunned, as Jet was leader of the Turnbulls' blackguards and an adopted son of George Turnbull.

If Walter's family had to send the blackguards to bring him back, that meant things had gotten troublesome.

"Do you remember what happened at the ceremony yesterday?"

"Yesterday?"

Walter grimaced as he worked hard to recall and shook his head in pain. "I remember Sif Lionheart offering me a toast, and then I got very sleepy… I do

    "Hold it! You're not allowed in here!"The Turnbull bodyguards loyally stood their ground, holding the members of the Martial Alliance at the gates.In turn, Silverbell bellowed at them, "I have evidence of Walter Turnbull's crimes! The mayor of Morhen has already issued a warrant! Stand in our way, and you will be labeled an enemy of the Martial Alliance and Draconia!"The Turnbull bodyguards traded glances, but they eventually gave in and cleared a path.Even if a decision would be made to war against the Martial Alliance, it was not up for them to call it.Moreover, they were not in the right—the Martial Alliance had evidence and were making a legal arrest. Resistance would be equal to harboring a fugitive.Obviously, Silverbell bade her time waiting for evidence to avoid bloodshed, since violence would ensue if they stormed Turnbull Estate with mere accusations."Go!" With Silvebell leading the members of the Martial Alliance, they soon arrived at the bungalow where Walter

    "No way! We can't let them take Walter!""Exactly! We will go down swinging if push comes to shove!""That's right! We do not fear death!"Glen was left glowering as the rest of the Turnbulls argued in defiance."Go down swinging?! Easy for you to say!" he bellowed. "Have none of you considered how serious a blow it would be to our family if we went to war against the mayor of Morhen?! It wouldn't just be the Martial Alliance—if the mayor sends the garrison, we're really screwed!"Looking at everyone around him pointedly, he continued, "At that point, we'd be unable to clear our name while we leap into the pit our enemies dug for us! And that's exactly what they want—for us to fight the Martial Alliance!"While most of the Turnbulls were stunned, some still argued defiantly."What, are we supposed to just give up?""Exactly. Even at best, we'd lose Walter… And our reputation is going down the drain…"Glen simply turned to Frank and said quietly, "Mr. Lawrence has already said

    Even as the Turnbulls could only watch as two members of the Martial Alliance strode up and dragged Walter away, Susan started to chase after them, shouting, "Walter!!!"Glen stopped her, his expression exasperated and his words less than convincing, "I know it hurts, Susan… But you have to be strong. We will find evidence soon enough…"What the rest of the Turnbull did not notice, however, was Frank hurrying outside, shouting, "Silverbell!"Silverbell stopped in her tracks and smiled stiffly as she slowly turned around.She really did not want to see Frank in this situation, since it undoubtedly made her look cool. She certainly did not want to leave a bad impression after being apart for so long."Frank… Lawrence. Is there something else?""He's been set up, and there's no doubt about that." Frank pointed at Walter, his tone stern. "A nerve agent was used on him, and he couldn't control himself—no, he doesn't even know what he did yesterday."Silverbell frowned, her expression

    The members of the Martial Alliance had no idea what Frank and Silverbell were talking about, but they heard the last part where Silverbell agreed to Frank's request of protecting Walter for two days.That was virtually impossible with the power that the mayor of Morhen commanded.His daughter was molested in public, and he was not about to wait two days to retaliate!If anything, Walter would be killed no sooner after they delivered him to the mayor's residence.Even if Silverbell's position seemed to command respect and authority, as a guardian of Morhen—the heart of Draconia—she was basically a glorified bodyguard. She would be punished all the same if she insulted the mayor of Morhen, which was why the members of the Martial Alliance quickly tried to stop her."Absolutely not, Lady Silverbell!""You'd be insulting the mayor of Morhen if you do that… It'll ruin your future!"However, Silverbell knew better than anyone the price she would pay if she protected Walter.Even so,

    With those words, Glen turned toward Jet and said, "Gather the blackguards and go to Waver Street with Frank. We need to be serious about this."Frank would rather work alone, but he was not familiar with Morhen and had to agree to Glen's suggestion.Soon, the blackguards were sortied and departed.However, Waver Street was very far from Turnbull Estate, and it was night by the time they arrived.It was certainly a lively place, where people freely mingled, even going at it in the alley.Curses, cheers, and jeers could be heard from any corner, and Frank actually stood out like a sore thumb.He split up with Jet before walking down the street as agreed."Hey, handsome. Wanna hang out?" A flamboyantly dressed woman stood out in the street, winking at Frank with a cigarette between fingers."Come on in! Our ladies are the best!" A middle-aged woman beckoned at Frank."Sorry, I'll pass," Frank said, having no interest, and shook his head as he sidestepped them.At the same time,

    Still, Frank had to concede that even though she hid her face, the woman's figure was one that could give Helen and Vicky a run for their money.Her long, fair legs were crossed beneath the table, while her bare belly was flat and her skin smooth. Even her gait alone would set a man's loins on fire, and no average man could withstand her charms—they would fall for her in no time at all.However, while Frank liked women and did not shy from allowing his gaze to linger, he had no time to waste now, especially with Vicky's safety uncertain."Now, now. I know you have plenty of questions, but you must drink this or I won't answer a thing." The woman glanced pointedly at the glass of wine she slid to Frank, her eyes flashing with dangerous desire.Suddenly, her voice seemed to boom with a mystical power as she repeated, "Drink."Frank unwittingly reached out, ready to pick up the glass."Hmph!" He suddenly came to his senses and slammed his hand on the table instead as he snapped co

    "Now, now. Watch your words now, Clarity," the leader said quietly. "Ms. Lionheart is an heiress of direct lineage. You will suffer reprisals for your impudent words if the Lionhearts hear what you said."To his surprise, Clarity seemed not to care at all."Heh…" She scoffed, waving him off exasperatedly. "That's enough from you. I'm in a good mood, so I won't hold your intrusion against you just yet. However, I like this man, and I've decided no one gets to lay a finger on him as long as he's on Waver Street. Now get out.""What?"The leader was hesitant, clearly fearing Clarity.Why else would he and his men be trading glances, clearly hesitant about their next move?"Hah!"One of the goons—a peak Birthright rank— trode up, pointing at Clarity as he snapped, "You're Talnamese, so don't push it! We will have Frank Lawrence, and no one says no to the Lionhearts!""Exactly! If you want to stay on Waver Street, move aside! Stay out of Lionheart business!""We will have Frank Law

    Clarity then slid a note to Frank, and the little piece of paper carried her distinct perfume too. "Here's the address," she said. "Go there and see for yourself, though it depends on your ability whether you find what you need.""Why are you helping me?" Frank asked, glaring coldly and skeptical that she had really taken a liking to him."Oh, why won't you believe me? I've been in love with you for the longest time," Clarity giggled bewitchingly. "Naturally, I might have favors to ask in the future… So you can consider this my investment, Mr. Lawrence. Think of it as just owing me one."Frank stayed silent for a while before asking flatly in return, "Are you so sure I'll return the favor?""Hehe. You're a man of your word, handsome. I know that better than anyone.""Hmm. In that case…" Frank picked up the glass of wine and chugged it. "I'll owe you a favor and return it some other day!"Clarity watched as he turned to leave, giggling. "Hehe… What a nice man. Be careful, Vick

    Her skin and fingers were rotting where the motel manager touched the pendant, as if being corroded by acid at a visible rate. Worst of all, she could not even feel any pain from it!"W-What's going on here?!"Horrified, the motel manager turned and ran.Drunken Moon was ready to give chase, but Frank stopped her. "She's not going to have it easy without her fingers. Let her go."Drunken Moon nodded and pointed at the pendant on the floor. "What the heck is that?"Frank then told her about Reverend Quietus, to which Drunken Room exclaimed, "You meant to say that there are bodies of energy that are basically identical to the paranormal that people speak of?"Frank nodded. "I'm sure it's not just rumors, with the way it remained over a thousand years—things like that do exist. But in the end, it's no different from a spell, and you can handle it if you're strong enough."Drunken Moon smiled. "That only applies to you. I don't know about anyone else, but I really can't deal with th

    After she calmed down, the bellgirl took an interest in Frank. "Is he the one who could beat you?"It was the new age—ladies were not shy, and the bellgirl actually liked lookers like him."Hello." Frank greeted her, and she smiled in turn. "Sorry for having to bother you, handsome."She would really have asked for his number if circumstances allowed.That was when footsteps could be heard, and Frank glanced sideways outside as he told Drunken Moon, "Now's your chance for revenge. Don't hold back now.""You don't need to worry about that!" Drunken Moon exclaimed as she flexed her muscles—she was waiting for this moment.The motel manager led several burly men inside, standing at the center proudly like she owned the place. "That's for insulting me, bitch! Go! Show her who she was messing with!"Though the motel manager did not hesitate to send her men after Drunken Moon, Drunken Moon smirked, waiting until the bouncers were about to reach before punching them.Soon, they wer

    Frank chuckled. "As for what actually happened to him, I'll get someone to keep tabs and maybe record a video. It shouldn't be difficult."Drunken Moon flashed a thumbs-up at him. "You're really the best when it comes to cruelty. Simply different."They shared a smile, and soon, Jouri's people came to take the white-haired youth away.Later, Frank and Drunken Moon headed to a motel, as the latter received a call from a geezer who said his granddaughter was being harassed and needed help.She had no fear with Frank at her side anyway, so she went.As soon as they entered, they found a twentyish, slightly short bellgirl wiping the tears off her face.Nearby, the motel manager was pointing at her and ranting, spouting plenty of expletives!Drunken Moon naturally would not just sit by. Striding up, she pushed the manager away and snapped furiously, "What's the meaning of this?! There's no reason to go that far even if she messed up!"The manager was equally furious, however, and sn

    "The nail that sticks out gets hammered! I'm sure you'd die horribly soon enough!"The white-haired youth's futile efforts at threatening Frank only made him smirk. "What's it to you, even if I or Drunken Moon died? She still won't be interested."The white-haired youth snorted, but soon sighed. "Fine, do it!"Drunken Moon wagged her finger at him. "Why should we make it quick? He's actually right—death is a reward for people like you."That's why I'll treat your leg and sell you as a slave to some third-world country. Trust me, it's not just the ladies who are popular there—they like a pretty boy too."The white-haired youth smirked. "Quit trying to scare me. Do you think that crippling my cultivation would stop me from talking? As long as you don't, I'll find a way to free myself. Let's see what you can do then!"That was when Frank butted in. "Actually, I do have a solution."With just a thought, the white-haired youth's leg was as good as new.As soon as he saw that, the wh

    Speed is the one unbreakable law of martial arts, and someone quicker than the naked eye would never lose.To think that the man who seemed to have nothing going for him aside from his looks was this powerful!Frank chuckled and turned to the biker. "You should leave. It's not a pretty sight when blood starts spilling."The biker was quite compliant from the start and turned to run. "Thank you for saving me. May we meet again!"On the other hand, Frank leapt over the railing and dropped to a squat in front of the white-haired youth. "Go on, tell me why you introduced Drunken Moon to someone else."The white-haired youth was taken aback but soon said, "So you're the brat who's not to be underestimated? That's why your fellow martial artists think so highly of you.""I appreciate their flattery, but I'm afraid I might fall short." Frank chuckled coolly. "And you could stop fawning over me and answer my question."The white-haired youth's eyes widened. "Who do you think I am?"Fra

    Frank chuckled. "Who do you think? The man who tried to kill you just now.""What?!"The biker was even more shocked, as the Lamborghini was reduced to a marble. Would the driver even survive that?"Ignoramus! I'm not so easily killed!"A figure strode out of the grass nearby, and it was none other than the white-haired youth who drove the Lamborghini!"When did that happen?" the biker exclaimed.He definitely did not see the Lamborghini's doors opening or anyone jumping out when it was crushed into a ball, so how did that man escape?"Go on. Show us how much quicker you can be!" Frank beckoned at the white-haired youth.Perplexed, the white-haired youth asked, "I'm curious. How did you know about my powers?"Frank pointed at his eyes, "Thanks to certain assistance, I've improved my further abilities and can now identify anyone's abilities.""Really? But identifying wouldn't be enough—you gotta be good enough to handle me!"Readying himself as if for a sprint, the white-hair

    Seeing Frank chasing her down, the beggar said, "I really can't elaborate. You know about the group already, don't you? Go and deal with them—use your wisdom to see through everything and solve the riddle."And with that, she left without a care.This time, Frank did not stop her—if anything, he had no reason to do so.Her point was simple: there was just so much involved that even she had not the faintest idea. Sighing, Frank called Jouri and told her to search for Sanne Quess and Reverend Quietus."The latter is impressive," he said. "She even sealed the power of the spiritron vein!'"What?!"Jouri was shocked—that was impossible, as the spiritron vein was invincible as far as she was concerned.But a mere reverend subdued it?!"Do you have further details?" she pressed.Frank shook his head. "She can use talismans. That's about all I know about her."Jouri sighed wryly. "Then looking into her will be difficult—I'd focus on Sanne Quess instead. Who is he?"Frank told her

    Baldie dropped to his knees with a thud.Not only did Frank possess superior abilities, but he had a functioning moral compass too?He certainly deserved the power of the spiritron vein!Baldie then said, "I guess I should warn you that there are people who keep their hands clean. They would do anything to further their mysterious goals, so you should watch out."Frank chuckled. "Don't worry. I never hold back when I should kill—just listen to the reverend, and leave if there's nothing else, or I might change my mind."At those words, Baldie turned to run without lingering another second. Frank then turned toward the beggar. "Is this what you want?"The beggar nodded, clearly not bothered to hide anything. "To be honest, I've been considering an issue—do all the people who gain superpowers deserve it? The dragon inside you, for example… I can't say that it's anything good."Frank nodded, smiling—she was right about that, as he thought the same himself.After all, it had done

    Frank smiled, shaking his head. "No, you misunderstand. What I mean is that she's right. The paranormal, your mystical artifact—it all works using the same principle: You're all just a little stronger than the average martial artist."However, when you're up against the real deal like me, you're relatively weak and easily dealt with."Baldie was left flabbergasted. "No, no, no… That's impossible! We're not the same as martial artists. None of you stand a chance against us!"Frank shook his head. "What you're saying is impossible. Your kind is simply more gifted, while martial artists are less, and that's the only reason you're stronger than most martial artists."Baldie dropped to his knees with a thud, shaking his head repeatedly as there was nothing more that could tear him up inside.He had always believed that even if he was not divine, he was still an envoy among the mortals like the priests and monks in fiction. Naturally, he was convinced that the day would come when he tra
