The basement floor was a scene of depravity.Seeing that her threat failed, Vicky struggled against her restraints as hard as she could.It only loosened her blouse and bared more of her fair skin, stimulating the lust of the masked men instead!The man in the dog mask chuckled sleazily. "Don't worry, Ms. Turnbull. I'll be gentle since it's your first time… Hahaha!!!"With that, he lunged at Vicky."Frank…" Vicky murmured helplessly just then.She was convinced she could resolve this issue without Frank's help, but in her moment of need, she was yearning for that man to save her again."Hahaha! I know you're waiting for him to save you, but give up already!"Sif laughed, as if hearing her feeble murmur. "My men are keeping an eye out for Frank, and they're ready to jump him as soon as he gets near this place! You'd never see him again! Hahaha…"Her taunt left Vicky closing her eyes, yielding to despair.For only a second."Fuck off!"Bang! The elevator doors were suddenly
Sif kept laughing. "There's so many men waiting for their turn with her too… Upsets you a lot, doesn't it? Good! That's the look I wanted to see on your face—but don't worry, you'll be making an even more amusing one soon enough, as you watch your woman being fucked from afar while you can do nothing! Oh, it's killing me!"Then, she turned toward the man in the dog mask who had froze on stage, snapping, "Did I tell you to stop?! Get going! This is an order—you have the Lionhearts standing between you and Frank Lawrence, so you're safe from him! Make him watch as you have your way with his woman!"While Sif turned back to Frank, rearing her chin gleefully, the man in the dog mask appeared taken aback but soon laughed shrilly. "Hahaha! What a thrill! I like it!!!" he exclaimed, almost stuttering in his enthusiasm. "Don't worry, Ms. Turnbull. I will show you such heavenly pleasure that you'll forget about him soon enough!"After all, what did he have to fear with the Lionhearts backi
Frank reared his chin and bellowed, "Die!" It was only then that Sif noticed that Frank's eyes had gone blood red.At the same time, the death aura around him was so condensed it could well be solid, and it swirled rapidly like an unfurling gale."Come and get it!" he bellowed as he met the charging Lionheart bodyguards without flinching, even charging at them in turn and shattering a machete swung at his face.As the Lionheart bodyguard looked on in shock, Frank punched his face, rupturing it like a watermelon."What?!" The other Lionheart bodyguards felt pangs of terror within them, as they could see that the machete could not even pierce Frank's skin.They were Birthright rank, but their sword techniques required weapons to truly shine.And the man with blood red eyes who stood before them was immune to said weapons!What rank was he?! Peak Ascendant?!"Hyah—!" With a raging cry, Frank caught the sword another Lionheart bodyguard swung at him, snapping the blade and sh
"Heh."Frank snorted fearlessly despite Sif's threat, even grabbing her thighs."What are you doing—argh!!!"Sif actually thought for a moment that Frank would force himself on her, only for Frank to break her legs with relative ease, leaving her with heartrending agony."You're not getting away now," Frank smiled sinisterly, flashing his bright white teeth.Sif finally understood fear in that instant even as she was left sprawled on the floor.She watched as Frank left her and walked toward Vicky, intent on cursing him, but she was in too much pain to do so.All she could think just then was that Frank was far more powerful than she thought, and barely a handful of individuals in her family could take him down…And that she could not die here yet!Gritting her teeth, she started crawling toward the stairs with all her strength, bolstered by the thought that she must escape. And once she did…-On the other hand, Frank had cut Vicky loose and relocated her arm."Frank…" V
Seeing that Damon had Vicky, Frank did not hesitate. "Deal."His quick response actually left Damon taken aback. "Are you sure, kid? Were you really listening to what I'm saying?"Despite his nonchalant expression, his eyes were glued to Frank, as if to read what was really on Frank's mind."I am, though I have a condition in return," Frank said and pointed at Vicky. "I'm not interested in the Turnbulls' affairs, but the Lionhearts are not to bother Vicky's immediate family in Riverton.""Sure." Damon nodded, but he soon snorted.Both his eyes and Frank's narrowed, reading each other's intentions right then.Damon was just using Vicky to divert Frank's attention and find an opening, while Frank was just responding haphazardly in his attempt to get Vicky back.For Frank's part, he could see that the old man was more than met the eye, and the fact that he easily agreed to Frank's request meant he was at minimum a Lionheart executive.On the other hand, Damon was narrowing his eye
Damon laughed. "Hah! Names are all the same. They're all just syllables. But you are here now, a mere Birthright rank. Your abilities really leave much to be desired!""That's not up for you to decide." Frank sneered, his eyes red—he could not hold back against an opponent who was a full rank higher, or he would get killed."Very well." Damon smiled. "It seems you're ready to put your life on the line… Though you have been a constant thorn to the side for us Lionhearts, I shall be getting rid of you once and for all. Remember—when the reaper asks, it's Damon Lionheart who sent you!"Suddenly, a gust of violent pure vigor erupted away from him, almost knocking Frank off his feet."So this is the power of peak Ascendant ranks…?" Frank muttered to himself.While Ciril Janko was a peak Ascendant rank individual as well, Frank fought him under unusual circumstances, and Ciril was barely going all out.And now that Frank was facing one who was not holding back, he was certainly pressur
A old man in Draconia's military uniform emerged from the darkness, laughing raspily. "Hehehe…""What…" Frank struggled to get up despite the agony of his broken ribs, as he recognized the geezer right then.He was Frank's father, worshiped and admired across Draconia, and the bane of Talnam—the Lord of the Southern Woods!"What are you doing here?!" Damon was actually panicking, even fearful as he stared at the rows of military medals adorning Godwin Lawrence's jacket.It was certainly unusual for a peak Ascendant rank to react like that, especially when he was so nonchalant when he first showed up.And he was a man whose power was above question, too!"Hehe. I'm just taking a stroll before I kick the bucket," Godwin said calmly, a slight smile showing on his lips as if recounting the good old days with a friend.Damon kept backing away until he felt his back reach a wall. "Don't you remember the agreement you signed three years ago?!" Damon snapped, but he was glaring warily
Frank struggled to look up just as the scarlet lion shot past him, his pupils dilating when he saw what happened.Damon, who thoroughly overwhelmed him and unleashed such a frightening technique at Godwin, was caught by the neck, his feet dangling and kicking in the air.It was such a plain counter, as if Godwin did not use an ounce of pure vigor."What the…" Frank was actually left murmuring out loud in disbelief. "Watch closely now, brat," Godwin said calmly. "This is called the Lioncrusher—your grandfather taught me that, and it's used specifically to crush Lionhearts."On the other hand, Damon's eyes were starting to roll up into their sockets even as he flailed around, his entire body feeling like it was being jolted persistently."I know what you're going to say." Godwin chuckled. "Why is it called the Lioncrusher, no?"Damon gasped. "You wouldn't dare…"Splat!Suddenly, Damon's body bloated like a balloon before blowing up in a large puff of bloody mist. His blood spla
