Quinn strode out from the inner hall of the dojo, shaking with rage as she bellowed, "Silence!"She had never told anyone she feigned insanity just to escape Frank, but it was assuredly the lowest point of her existence, and she would never tell anyone about it!If anyone found out that the daughter of Sage Lake Sect's high elder would stoop that low to save herself, her reputation would be dragged through the mud!"What, did I hit a nerve?" Frank chuckled coolly and nonchalantly. "Did it never cross your mind that I spared you because you looked that pathetic?""Keep talking, Frank Lawrence!" Quinn shrieked. "You've killed my fiance and now you've insulted me! I won't show mercy!"She had to say something since the Sage Lake Sect pawns standing nearby were already avoiding her eyes.Waving at them, she bellowed, "Go! Anyone who takes him down will be taught Sage Lake Sect's esoteric techniques and win the Goldeater Cane!""Charge!"Upon hearing the rewards, all the black-clad
Clang!A black-clad man's machete struck Frank squarely in the neck, only to resound with a metallic clang."What?! Projecting your vigor… You're actually Birthright rank?!"The old man's jaw could drop from shock as he looked on.But it was not over yet—Frank seized the black-clad man's wrist and crushed it, while seizing his chipped machete and sending two other black-clad men's head flying before landing with their shocked faces intact."I'm here to help, Mr. Lawrence!" Suddenly, there was a burst of wind as Burt Yorkman, wearing a ragged black suit, charged inside.He vaulted like a crane before assuming a tiger's pose, quickly dispatching two black-clad men."Burt Yorkman! You traitor!" Quinn shrieked, shaking with rage when she saw Burt helping Frank."Hah!" Burt snorted. "I've been serving at Sage Lake Sect's beck and call for years, but all of you kept me at arm's length as if I were a common thief! Frank Lawrence here has not only spared my life, but he actually taug
"Aria Lond!" Frank's fist was still awash with blood as endless rage flared within him.He had been careful last night during the banquet at White Hall. He inspected every kitchen utensil and piece of food to ensure there was no poison before setting his mind at ease.The only thing he did not take notice of was the wine Aria served him.Despite Aria's endlessly devious nature, he thought he could forgive Aria since she was Winter's friend. After that shenanigan of hers, she should be turning over a new leaf and genuinely reflecting.That was why Frank did not expect her to poison him instead!Thud! Thud!Frank started to hit himself with Sage Lake Sect's Lotus Poke, striking various acupoints to fire up his vigor and dispel the poison. "You useless scum! He's been poisoned! Get him right now!"On the other hand, Quinn was yelling at her father's men since they were backing down instead.The black-clad men all traded glances but eventually braced themselves and charged."M
The middle-aged man folded his arms before his chest as he slowly approached, his eyes flashing coldly.Still in Frank's arms, Burt quickly warned Frank with his last sliver of strength, "Watch out, Mr. Lawrence… T-That's Eiger Ocean, Bocek Ocean's other brother… He's an elite Birthright… I'm no match for him… Urk…" Frank frowned. "Just shut up and lie down, or your meridian nexus will break. If that happens, you won't even be able to wipe your own butt!"Eiger was actually surprised to see that Burt's meridian nexus did not break either. "I'm surprised that you know how to seal vigor meridians, though one must expect nothing less from the last apprentice of Mystic Sky Sect.""Mystic Sky Sect?!"For the umpteenth time of the day, the old man behind Frank was staring in disbelief."What's wrong, Grandpa? What's Mystic Sky Sect?" his granddaughter quickly asked.The old man was stuttering in astonishment, "M-Mystic Sky Sect of the South Sea… It's Draconia's oldest and most enigma
Quinn quickly yelled loudly to warn Eiger, "Be careful! That bastard's strong, and he caught Uncle Sal off guard!""Hah! Sal was a piece of shit who'd never hope to match me." Eiger snorted, his vigor burgeoning as he crushed the floor tiles as he feet, and he shot forward toward Frank like a missile. "I will avenge your fiance right now, Quinn!""Be careful, Mr. Lawrence! Eiger stands among Sage Lake Sect's top five!" Burt cried out in warning despite being told not to talk."Top five?" Frank snorted coolly. "It seems like we landed quite the big fish!""Big fish? What the hell are you—"Eiger's face fell even as he kept charging at Frank.He could see the projected vigor around Frank solidify into a dazzling golden dragon."Such solid pure vigor! He really mustn't be trifled with… Miasmic Fists!!!"Eiger was suddenly on alert, immediately using his best move.His fist carried pure vigor, shrouded in waves of darkness that the naked eye would have a hard time seeing through.
When Mystic Sky Sect was wiped out three years ago, it was rumored that their chief and senior disciple had gone missing.Could this young man be the missing disciple Donn Lawrence, the man who carved a bloody path out of his enemies despite the South Sea Four's encirclement?The man had already topped Skyrank as a Birthright martial elite. One could not even begin to fathom his depth!In fact, Aion Fairfax was already no longer worrying about what Sage Lake Sect would do. Instead, he now feared that after Donn Lawrence wiped out Sage Lake Sect, he would silence Aion and his granddaughter… forever!On the other hand, Eiger was on his last breath after Frank's single punch.He was also on his knees in a grotesque posture as he screamed in panic, "I'm Bocek's sworn brother and the sect chief's comrade! Sage Lake Sect will kill you if you kill me!""Those are your last words?" Frank asked as he leveled Eiger an icy look, chuckling coolly. "It's as if you're saying that Sage Lake S
Frank turned just as the doors were kicked open, and a middle-aged man strode in.His hair and clothes were gray, and he carried the air of mastery.His hawkish eyes were fixed on Frank, his expression dark.It was none other than Bocek Ocean, high elder of Sage Lake Sect."Dad!"Quinn appeared euphoric to see him, even scrambling as she dashed toward him, bawling, "Dad, you have to save us! F-Frank killed Uncle Eiger!""What?!" Bocek turned where her daughter was pointing, his gaze darkening as he saw Eiger's corpse laying limply in the crater."You wretch! You slayed an elder of Sage Lake Sect!""So what if I did?"Frank chuckled coolly, not holding back since he knew Bocek would be the worst opponent he faced today. "Shame your top five didn't even last a punch. I'm really disappointed.""Hmph. So you are as conceited as my daughter says," Bocek growled, quickly composing himself. "You have now murdered three vital figures of Sage Lake Sect, and there's no way for you to
Death meant compensation for their families, while desertion meant death to them and their families.Sensing the change in attitude among the black-clad men, Frank did not hold back as he charged his Five-Peat Archaeus, his Birthright rank might overwhelming them.It was a headache now that they were suddenly fearless even in death, especially since some were vigor-wielding elites.A group around ten would be no issue, but even he was hard-pressed against dozens, even hundreds—not even a lion could stand against a horde of hyenas alone.Seeing that Frank was a little overwhelmed, Aion's granddaughter cried, "Help him, Grandpa!" Aion, however, stood his ground.He appeared troubled and was clearly not intent to get involved.If Frank won, he and his granddaughter must come up with something to appease the last apprentice of Mystic Sky Sect. And there was still a chance he would kill them so that they would not tell on him.Naturally, things would not bode well for them if Sag
