At some point in time, Frank had already grabbed Boran by the wrist, holding him in place!"Is that all you've got?" Frank slowly looked up at him in disdain."What?" Boran exclaimed, his cheeks suddenly pale."It's tradition—traitors do not get off scot-free, and the same goes for you," Frank growled.And with those words, he swiped his palm against Boran's arm!Swish!Boran's arm was sliced off clean, and blood gushed out like a geyser!"Argh!!!" Boran screamed—this was not how it was supposed to go!Frank did not stop, however.Crack!He grabbed Boran by the shoulder and crushed his bones into powder before kicking him out of the ring!The entire exchange did not last more than three seconds, even as Frank nonchalantly flung Boran's dismembered arm on the floor!Boran kept screaming even as he held his bleeding shoulder, "Give me back my arm… Give it back to me…"Frank snorted. "It seems that the Cloud Mover style shall be lost on this day."And with those words, he ja
Drake quickly threw up his hands to parry the kick with every bit of vigor he had, but within a split second, he could feel a terrible shockwave vaporizing his vigor!His arms were left numbed from the blow, and he was struggling to stand as he wobbled backward and fell out of the ring!There was a dull thud as he dropped on the floor, and Drake was left staring up at the ceiling, his face pale as a sheet.He felt blood in his mouth and a gag reflex but managed to stop himself in time, stilling his churning meridians."Sir…?" "Are you alright, sir?!"Wilf and the other Chandlers turned pale too, horrified to see Frank knocking their elder out of the ring with just one kick!Drake gulped as he sensed his blood welling up his throat but waved them off. "I'm fine…"Meanwhile, Vicky, Cliff, and Yara were all trading glances."Whoa…""Oof… Wasn't Frank saying that he's not Earthrank? How is he having such an easy time against Earthrank?"That was when Yara suggested, "Maybe he's
Drake did a double take and demanded, "Then what do you want?"Frank growled imposingly, "Vicky spent thirty million dollars for this fight. Pay up."Vicky's heart could leap out of her throat at Frank's words—the Chandlers would never agree to such an unreasonable demand! If anything, she would be plenty happy to have the Chandlers out of her hair!To no surprise, Wilf snapped furiously, "You're out of line!""That's enough!" Drake bellowed at him. "It's just thirty million. I'll pay."Vicky and Yara froze right then, and the same went without saying for Wilf and the other bigwigs."Sir… Don't you think that's too much?" Wilf asked skeptically.Drake glared at Wilf and growled, "Are you telling me what to do?""Urk… No, of course not.""Then shut up."With that, Drank quickly had one of his men transfer thirty million dollars to Vicky's account. "This concludes all business between us. Our families shall stay out of each other's way from now on."And with that, Drake strode
Naturally, Vicky, Yara, and Cliff all thought Frank's words were filled with conceit.Cliff in particular gave him a kind warning. "You really shouldn't underestimate Skyrank elites, Mr. Lawrence. The ones I've had the honor of meeting may be over fifty years old, but their might can shatter mountains. They are no longer your average martial artists at that point."Frank simply chuckled in return. "Thanks for the tip."In reality, Cliff would understand that the likes of Skyrank elites were beneath Frank if he had actually met Frank at his peak form.Later, Vicky left the group and headed home alone after having a few words with them.While Frank was supposedly her bodyguard, he basically never worked in that capacity for more than a few days.-Meanwhile, at the Riverton International Airport, Donald Salazar, his family, and Jaud White were waiting at the checkpoint for a while.Today, his eldest son was returning, and Donald thought highly of him as his heir.Drakon Salazar
Quinn handed the box to Donald containing Eternal Ice. It was a sacred relic of Sage Lake Sect, which prolonged an average Joe's lifespan when consumed.Drakon had told Donald about that before and was surprised Quinn would give him one.Whether it was real or fake, he smiled. "Thank you, Ms. Ocean. Well, neither of you are exactly young—it's high time to get married, though there are other matters that take priority."Donald's tone changed sharply as he continued, "Your sister was bullied a while ago…"Drakon raised a hand to stop him. "You have nothing to worry about. Viola told me—they really don't know what's good for them, going that far. I've returned to settle the score and to make everyone in Riverton understand how terrible a fate awaits those who would bring harm to my family."Donald was naturally beaming at his son's bold declaration. "Hahaha! I definitely have nothing to worry about with you around, son!"-Neither Frank nor Vicky were aware that the Salazars were c
Frank touched his cheek, where a lipstick mark remained, and he could vaguely smell the intoxicating sweetness…Nearby, Winter pouted. "Hey, are you going to eat? Or was your soul sucked out by that kiss?""Ahem…"Frank cleared his throat, never expecting something this awkward happening to him.Still, he shot Winter a glare. "What would a kid like you know?""I'm twenty." Winter rolled her eyes, even puffing her chest. "And you're still calling me a kid?"Frank chuckled. "Can't tell that you're grown up at all.""Hey!" Winter flushed in anger. "Are you a virgin?'Her own question somehow piqued her curiosity, and she tugged Frank's sleeve as she pressed, "Wait, you are?"Frank flushed and frowned. "What's so funny? I need to hold it in for the sake of my training…""Hahaha! Whatever you say." Winter laughed so hard that she was shaking. "Married for three years but still a virgin… Hahaha…""Alright, quit laughing and eat," Frank snapped as he sat at the dining table to do s
Jean Zims and the others had already bought this exact handbag, and Winter had been yearning for it for a while, but she just did not have the money for it.Frank chuckled. "It's no problem. While you're at it, do check out if there are clothes or anything else you need. We can buy everything at once."Winter quickly threw up her hands. "No, it's fine. The stuff here is expensive—just a handbag is enough."She was reluctant to ask Frank to spend too much on her. After all, she knew how difficult it was to make money since she had been helping out at her mother's snackbar ever since she was a child.Frank, however, did not seem to mind. "It's fine—it's a happy day for me. We're getting whatever you want."He was really pleased that Winter was not a golddigger despite being raised in poverty, though one would have Carol Zims to thank for that."Oh, I'm really fine! I have clothes and everything I need now—why buy more?" Winter still refused.Seeing that she was insistent, Frank no
Even Frank lowered his eyes after a brief glance, rubbing his nose in silence.Aria was pointing at a black babydoll nightie that was too risque no matter how one looked at it!Winter nudged her while complaining under her breath, "I can't wear that! Forget it!"Aria snorted. "Why not? It looks perfectly fine to me."The retail assistant with them quickly chimed in, "Exactly—it's our latest addition, and the design is as fashionable as it is comfortable. I've bought one myself too! It also comes in various sizes, so why not give it a try?"Aria turned patiently to Winter in turn. "See? Your pajamas are thick and old-fashioned. No respectable man would be interested after seeing you in it. The way I see it, you should buy a few more just to make sure they can't take their eyes off you."Winter could feel her cheeks burning. As she glanced at Frank with the corner of her eye, she actually felt eager to try it on as well when she saw him blush.Still, she just could not overcome
