Chapter 1454

Author: Chu
"The South Sea Crow's declaration of war is no trifling matter," Glen said solemnly. "Frank, you said that you both came to an agreement, and my third brother is left permanently disabled as a part of that agreement. So, why would she break her promise and return now?"

He could not ask those questions in the open, but he certainly sounded concerned as he questioned Frank urgently now.

"I'm not sure," Frank admitted—his fellow apprentice had promised him and had no reason to go back on her word.

"Are you sure?" Glen pressed.

Frank could see the suspicion in his eyes but nodded in exasperation.

It was in a businessman's nature to be suspicious, and the Turnbulls were Draconia's most successful family in trade and commerce. Words alone would never have been enough to convince Glen—the leader of said family—but Frank had nothing else to offer anyway.

If anything, it was normal for Glen to be suspicious, even if he had no idea why Ciaran would resume her vendetta against the Turnbulls

    Glen was scowling a little less the next day, as he received all the martial artists who were arriving at the conference hall.Frank, Vicky, Til, and everyone else were there, just as a retainer hurried inside and announced, "We have visitors from Cloud Nine Sect asking to see you, Mr. Turnbull.""Cloudnine Sect? Already?!"Glen exclaimed in delight. "The branch families really have some decent connections! Quick, show them in!""Yes, Mr. Turnbull," the retainer replied and turned to leave.Soon, a sonorous laughter echoed from a door, as a bearded man with bulging muscles and stood over two meters tall strode in.He was wearing shades, and he had a giant machete slung over his back, with several lackeys in tow.The man must at least weigh over two hundred pounds, and the ground almost seemed to shake with every step he took.In fact, the faces of many other martial artists fell when they saw that burly man."Wait, isn't that Kain the Wild Blade?! What's he doing here?!""Shi

    Kain was never known for his restraint. And if he caused trouble because of Vicky, Frank would not just sit by and do nothing.At that point, there would be a bloodbath in Turnbull Estate even before the South Sea Crow showed up.But to no surprise, Glen's voice of reason was shown no respect at all.In fact, Kain slammed his hand on the table and glared viciously at him as he bellowed, "Mr. Turnbull! I came out of the goodness of my heart to save your family, but you would spit on my grace with such terrible hospitality?! Are you belittling Cloudnine Sect or me here?!" He then stomped his foot. A chair around ten meters away exploded into countless splinters, and the other martial artists had to leap out of the way."Shit, Kain Loom is really as crazy as they say, causing such a mess in the Turnbulls' own home!""Hehe. You don't get it, do you? That guy is banking on the fact that the Turnbulls don't have martial elites to pressure Glen Turnbull.""How despicable."Their co

    Nonetheless, Til spoke with strength and determination, "The fight against the South Sea Crow is no trifling matter. In days, my mentor and his peers will be arriving as agreed—if you still insist on impudence, friend, you'll find us less than accommodating!"Kain was actually scowling when Til mentioned his mentor.If he were to be honest, there was no one present whom he feared, but he was still wary of Til's mentor.After all, every South Sea Sect would have their fair share of martial elites.If Kain really got on Til's nerves here, he would really get into trouble when Til's mentor and his peers arrived.No matter how he thought about it, Kain realized that he must not push Til too far.Hence, he spread his arms as his glare abruptly turned into a hearty grin. "Hahaha! You're too serious, my friend. I've been sent by Cloudnine Sect to assist Glen Turnbull in defeating the South Sea Crow, not to start pointless fights."Then, turning towards Glen, he said, "And I apologize f

    And seeing that Til had no rebuttal, Kain smugly turned toward Glen. "Hahaha… Mr. Turnbull, if you'd let the babe—I mean, Ms. Turnbull—marry me, we'd be family! That means all your troubles are mine and Cloudnine Sect's. Just think about it—you really lose nothing here."While Kain kept yapping, Vicky strode out even before Glen could speak, snapping shortly, "Fuck off!"The air in the room seemed to turn still at her outburst."Huh…"Kain chuckled awkwardly and leaned his ears forward as if to listen closely. "I think I missed that, Ms. Turnbull. Could you repeat that?""I said, fuck off!" Vicky repeated bluntly, folding her arms before her chest. "Who do you think you are, some uncivilized boor asking me to marry you?!"The conference hall was left in an uproar as Kain's face darkened, and he wheeled on Glen, "I was being sincere with my proposal, Mr. Turnbull. Don't you think that your niece is out of line?!""Vicky."Glen was frowning, not keen to let Kain's antics cause fu

    "Don't think for a second that I'm scared of you, Til Tomek," Kain retorted coolly. "If you really upset me, none of you will make up for it—hell, forget your mentor. No person alive can save you from me!""And you, Mr. Turnbull." Kain wheeled on Glen as he gloated, "I'm here under Cloudnine Sect's orders to aid you against the South Sea Crow. But if certain people push me too far, I'll side with her to wipe you all out instead. You'd best think about that."Kain's tone left Glen shaking with rage, and he was ready to call in his blackguards to take down that smug prick right then.Kain laughed brazenly right then. "Calm down, Mr. Turnbull! Like I said, just let me have your nice for half a day, and I'll do my best to take down the South Sea Crow. It's not like you lose nothing, and there might even be a new addition to your family ten minutes later! Hahaha…""That's enough!" Til bellowed, pointing at Vicky as he continued, "Ms. Vicky is engaged! Give up already!""Really?"Kain

    For all intents and purposes, Til should not be the one defending Vicky. It should have been Frank, which was why Til was all the more disappointed in him—what man would allow another man to insult his woman… or not react at all?And he certainly dressed his inaction pretty by saying that he was prioritizing the big picture, when in reality he was just afraid to fight Kain!Honestly, what did Vicky see in him?!That was when Kain's brother Joven noticed Frank and pointed at him as he yelled, "Wait, it's you?! The one who crashed into my car?!""Crashed into your car?"Frank did a double take, but he soon remembered a closer look at Joven's face.It was the drunkard who tailgated him last night after he and Kat Yego left the film set, and he was now accusing him of crashing into his car?!It was really a little ridiculous."What? Do you know him, Joven?" Kain asked, turning toward his brother."Yeah, it's him! He refused to apologize after he ran into my car and used his conn

    "What did you say?!"Kain was shocked, but he ignored what Frank was saying and only cared that he insulted his brother."I'll repeat myself since you missed it, just because I'm nice."Frank looked around, glowering as he said, "You're all invited by the Turnbulls to fight against the South Sea Crow. I don't want to affect morale by killing anyone here.""What?! Hahaha!!!"Kain was surprised Frank actually repeated himself and roared with thunderous laughter.On the other hand, everyone around them was pursing their lips and shooting Frank awkward looks.Sure, everyone invited here were martial elites from across the country. Most of them Birthright rank, none of them including Til or Kain could sense Frank's vigor.That meant he was not a martial artist, and such a martial artist was threatening Kain—and by extension everyone else—as they watched.He was not just suicidal—the man was a joke!Did he think they would not see through him? What, was he so strong that even Kain

    Kain was truly a mad dog who would keep chasing and biting anything in sight without regard for rules or obligations."Stand back, Mr. Turnbull."Frank strode between Glen and Kain, staring fixedly at the burly man as he knew there was no chance for negotiations now. "Misbehaving in Turnbull Estate and insulting my woman more than once? It seems that you really want to die."He once again caught Kain by surprise, but he was soon laughing loudly and savagely. "You really can talk tough, kid! Did you think your bluff would work?! You're obviously just a normal person! We're all martial artists here, and we could tell right away you're just bluffing like a clown. I guess the Turnbulls really have no one else to turn too, huh?"His words sent the crowd abuzz, most of them agreeing with Kain as they saw that Frank had no training and was just bluffing."Don't overreach," Til said as he strode over. "Kain has gained notoriety over the years for his savagery, and you won't survive if you

    Frank snorted. "Alright, I'm hanging up. I'm getting started over here soon.""Yeah. Good luck," Jouri replied.Hanging up, Frank looked up at the waterfall overhead, and then at Skyler, who was standing beside him. "So? Is it time yet?""Almost… Now!" Skyler's eyes were glowing even as she stared at her watch."Alright."Frank looked up just as the skies abruptly darkened. "Ah, there it is—the eclipse."The sun seemed to disappear, and the world was suddenly shrouded in darknesses.And beside him, a stone door imbued with the power of the spiritron vein also rumbled as it parted."Got it!" Frank rushed inside without another word as soon as he saw it."Hmph. I'm surprised that you could reach this place." A cold, wrathful voice resounded inside even before Frank got a hold of his surroundings.Looking up, Frank found a youth in a black cossack and sporting grey-white hair, standing upon a cliff as he looked down on him.Frank chuckled. "Hehe. Like I said, I've come to kill

    Frank narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?'Crane shrugged. "I don't mind giving it to you straight—members of Torrent are actually… Ahem. A part of Torrent himself."Frank paused. "What's that supposed to mean?""You don't get it, do you?" Crane grinned. "Then let me put it to you this way—every member is a clone of Torrent.""A clone?" Frank gasped in realization."Yes," Crane nodded. "That's why I believe that challenging Crane is just suicide. You have no idea how powerful he is—only death awaits you down that path."Frank smirked. "Oh, but I don't think so."Crane rolled his eyes. "Fine, whatever—now listen closely. You will find Torrent in the Mystic Trail, but you would only find that place when the sun and moon coincide, and the entrance is beneath the waterfall south of Horton."As he finished, he snorted coldly. "I have no idea if you can actually do it, but I'm hoping you do kill him… Heh. I'm getting tired of being stuck under his control for so long."Then, waving off

    Frank abruptly turned, immediately noticing one of the Cranes crouching, ready to spring forward and blindside him."Got you!" He laughed."Hah! You fell for it!"Just as Frank swung a punch to pulverize that Crane, he suddenly burst into pus that splashed at Frank's face."Damn it!" Frank took a step back, surprised that the clone's presence was identical to the real Crane, and a trap on top of that!"Die!"The Cranes around him each whipped out a dagger, all of them stabbing at Frank at the same time."Get off!" Frank bellowed, unleashing a shockwave that sent all the Cranes flying across all directions."Frank! Above you!" Skyler suddenly shrieked."Yes! I'm right here!" A strange laughter sounded above Frank just as he wiped the pus off his face.Crane was suddenly directly above him, launching an aerial kick straight at Frank's head, and Frank had no time to dodge!"Die!" Crane's smile curled into a twisted angle as he saw that too.He was very confident with this kick

    "Disgusting…" Skyler murmured through her hand.Despite being skinned and scalped, the women were all still alive and singing to the music that was playing despite their anguish."Talk about a terrible fetish."Frank was scowling too—why were all the members of Torrent such sick deviants? It seemed like his plan to wipe them out was absolutely correct!"So, you killed my clone?"The lanky man on the couch slowly turned to level his bloodshot eyes at Frank.His lips were wet with bed as they curled upward into an eerie smile."Clone?" Frank narrowed his eyes."Hehe. It's a sage art."Crane shrugged as he stood up and wiped the blood off his lips. "It's only natural that you don't understand… Still, you deserve praise. If you can kill my clone, that means you're not just slightly stronger than Ghost."Naturally, the man was none other than the real Crane.Still, as Skyler studied him from a corner, even she could notice the strange twitch of his fingers, and his veins were pro

    Even as Crane ran, he was looking over his shoulder, his heart pounding. "No… I won't win in a one-on-one!"No, as long as I get back to my real body… we can do this together!" He frowned, having seen how Frank sliced off the pinkies of those hood rats. It hence quickly dawned on him that Frank was not just slightly stronger than Ghost, as Torrent had put it!"Almost there!" He gasped when he saw the signboard of Pegasus Showtown in the distance. "As long as I get there and rendezvous with my real body, that brat will lose—"That was when he turned and saw that a shadow had caught up with impossible speed."What?!" Crane's eyes almost popped out in bewilderment. "What speed is that?! Are you kidding—"Even as he spotted the shadow, the shadow turned into a youth with an impassive visage.His fist outstretched, he was clearly punching toward Crane's forehead!"Argh…"Even as Crane looked on, the youth's punch slowed down by tenfold, but his fist kept closing in.Then, whe

    Seeing Skyler sigh, the tattooed thug presumed that his extortion worked.He strode up, grabbing Frank's shoulder. "No one's gonna help you, boy. Pay up, or you're not leaving.""Exactly! You're not getting away!" the crowd of hood rats hollered. "Last chance."Frank's eyes were cold and fixed on Dani, however. "Are you going to intervene? If you do, you can keep that check. If you don't…""Ugh. Fuck off! I don't care!" Dani spat, her expression smug as she folded her arms before her chest. "Who do you think you are to threaten me?!""Exactly! Pay up, and you can leave!""Yeah! Ten grand, at least!""You probably don't know my boss Wyvern, but when he's here, you won't get away with just ten grand!"Even as the crowd closed in, Frank shook his head. "Well, you had your chance. Don't blame me for what happens next.""You're giving us a chance?! Hah! Who—argh!"Even before Dani could finish gloating, Frank was suddenly in front of her, grabbing her viciously by the wrist."Arg

    "Five grand?! Did you hear that?! He just threw five grand!""Must be a rich kid coming here for a secret rendezvous, out of prying eyes? Those types are the easiest mark!""Fuck! And Dani got one of us… It hurts me more than losing at the races!"Frank could hear the buzz around him but ignored it as he strode past the men flanking him and headed toward the street that stank of blood."Stop!" A big tattooed man grinned sinisterly as he intercepted Frank.As his buddies encircled Frank as well, Frank snorted—it seemed that they took his reaction for a sign of weakness and thought that he could be cowed.The tattooed man rubbed his chin as he leered at Skyler's voluptuous figure, chuckling. "Look, boy. I'm short on cash, so let me take a loan. I'll pay you back some other day, how about that?"His friend laughed. "Exactly! You just gave Dani five grand, and we won't ask for more… just four, how about that?"Skyler scowled in turn and glanced worriedly at Frank beside her—was he

    Frank himself had just stepped out of the nightclub when his eyes narrowed."Blood," he murmured, his nostrils twitching."Blood?"Skyler sniffed the air, puzzled. "I can't smell it.""It's from the opposite street… I smell the blood of over a dozen people.""A dozen?!" Skyler did a double take.He could identify the number of people who were killed?! That was just ridiculous!"Come on, let's take a look."Just as Frank led the way toward the source of the stench, a woman suddenly came up, catching Frank off guard and throwing herself into his arms."Hmmm?" He looked down to see that she had thick makeup, average looks, and a rather pudgy belly."Argh! He touched me!" she pointed at Frank and shrieked even before he realized what was happening."What?!" Skyler was staring at the woman too, mystified."Oh, sister! You just didn't see it!"The woman kept hollering, pointing at Frank's face. "Your boyfriend grabbed my ass! Is that how you teach him manners?!""Teach him ma

    Wyvern screamed even as he clutched the stump that was his hand, screaming so shrilly one might mistake his voice as inhuman."Oh, just shut up." The lanky man glowered and launched a kick, reducing Wyvern into puddles of blood and pieces of innards, splattering all around the lobby. "Argh!!!" the devilish lady screamed as she watched the carnage unfolded."Another sound, and you'd end up just like him." The lanky man turned and frowned at her impatiently."Hngh…" The devilish lady promptly clasped a hand over her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes as she trembled."What the hell?!"Outside, Wyvern's lackeys heard the screams and ran inside, looking for him. "Hey, where's Wyvern?!"However, the lobby was too dimly lit for them to notice the blood and guts scattered around the walls, and they only sensed that terrible stench."Hngh…" The devilish lady was too scared to speak, and tears trickled out of her eyes."Fuck!"One of the lackeys strode up and seized the lanky man
