Most of all, Silverbell carried a secret with her—one she pulled off by swindling every champion of Draconia.If she fell to the hands of Hundred Bane Sect now, they would easily be the ones who won big.And Silverbell would rather die than see that happen.Just then, Lubor smiled as he threatened, "Hehe… You'd better not get any funny ideas. I've already implanted a blood centipede in you, and you'll die if I get upset."He then lifted her chin, clicking his tongue and sighing. "You're so beautiful… You're setting me on fire even if it's our first time meeting!"Silvebell remained silent despite his provocation, leveling him a look of contempt while avoiding his touch."Huh?!"Lubor glowered as Silverbell stayed defiant against him.He would have no hope of even reaching her level on any other day, but she was completely under his control now.It certainly left him buoyed, but he immediately felt humiliated as Silverbell was still glaring at him as if he were trash!"Bitch!"
"I will remember what the Favonis did today," Silverbell said quietly and spat bloody drool before she continued. "As for you… you're just a rat who thinks he's won. But rats would always be rats—you will never be afforded any respect.""Fuck!" Lubor was left shaking his rage, shoving Silverbell into the dirt with one hand while he fumbled to loosen his belt with the other. "I will do you right here, in the middle of the road! Let's see how you'd mock me after this!""Hehehe…"Silverbell was giggling coolly despite being subdued. "And you think you'd make me cave? All it does is prove your impotence and treachery further… The Martial Alliance will come for you when they realize what happened, and you'll suddenly find yourself abandoned by Hundred Bane Sect. Oh, poor you…""Fuck!Silverbell's gloating only left Lubor further incensed, causing him to fumble further.Turning toward his chauffeur, he bellowed, "Get over here! Hold her down!""But, sir…"The chauffeur wanted to ta
"Fuck! Shit!"Lubor turned pale, breathing every expletive even as he stumbled backward.The man striding toward him was an incarnation of terror, almost as if he was not human, like some ancient god whose very cries would leave the world shaking.As for Frank, he could see that Silverbell's dress was almost torn off, and he certainly knew what Lubor was up to.Making sure to walk close enough to Lubor, he suddenly bellowed with a roar."Argh!!!" Lubor's adrenaline kicked in right then, and he suddenly found the strength to turn and bolt."Are you really trying to run?! Hah!" Frank snorted and simply waved his hand.Then, even as Lubor ran, he suddenly found himself unable to feel his legs and fell, unable to catch his balance at all."W-What?! Argh!!!" Lubor let out a blood-curdling scream even as he looked down.His legs were severed cleanly from his knees with pure vigor, and he could see that they were still standing further behind him when he turned.The sight of his d
"Edon! Edon! Save me!" Lubor cried out as he threw himself to his brother, thrilled as if finding salvation while pointing a trembling finger at Frank. "H-He took my legs! I want revenge right now… Kill him, no, I want him cut into little pieces very slowly! He will wish he was dead!"Edon did not acknowledge Lubor's ravings, while all the Favoni martial artists who alighted behind him were outraged and glaring furiously at Frank."Frank Lawrence! How dare you hurt Master Lubor!""Yeah! You're not getting away in one piece now!""The Favoni clan will not tolerate this!"It seemed that Chet had only sent them to stop Lubor without telling them that Frank was much superior to them.Still, even if they were, they would probably still hold Frank in contempt since they had never seen what Frank was capable of.At the same time, Lubor was urging Edon loudly, "What are you spacing out for, brother? Avenge me! Avenge me! Take him down,\ now!"The Favoni martial artists turned to Edon a
Still, astonishment appeared on Lubor's face as he came to a realization. "Edon… Is Chet reneging on the deal? Is he bent on turning against Hundred Bane Sect?! Then Jaden is definitely going to die!"The fact that Lubor mentioned Jaden only left Edon incensed, and he wheeled on Lubor, slapping him viciously across the face!"You bastard!" he bellowed. "That cheek of yours to mention Jaden! None of this would've happened if you didn't poison him a second time!""W-What?! How did you find out?!" Lubor was dumbfounded even as he pushed himself off the ground. How could they know?! He knew he had covered his tracks perfectly!"So it really was you!"Edon merely spoke without proof and was actually surprised that Lubor admitted to it himself.That only further proved that Frank was a miracle healer!Laughing despite himself as Lubor's heinous nature was exposed, he turned toward Frank. "Mr. Lawrence, what are we going to do with this one?"As Edon was clearly leaving Lubor's fate
Name-dropping Chet proved very effective, as terror quickly showed on the faces of the Favoni martial artists.They knew very well what the head of the family was like, and if Chet would say something like that, Frank was far more powerful than what they imagined.Considering how they were circling around Frank and challenging him so childishly, many of them were sweating all over their brow."Go. We're taking Lubor back to Favoni House," Edon said."Yes, sir."The Favoni martial artists finally gave in as they realized what Frank really meant to their clan.-Meanwhile, Frank could not care less about what the Favoni martial artists thought, as Silverbell was his only concern. "Are you alright?"Silverbell only appeared troubled that Frank came back for her. "Aren't you upset with me for stealing Helen and Vicky's spiritron vein?""What are you saying?"Frank chuckled, speaking softly as he gathered her in his arms. "Did you think I wouldn't know what you're thinking? You we
Frank was driving Lubor's luxury sedan, and the surprise of finding out that Silverbell remembered what had happened at Sage Lake Sect left him utterly embarrassed.Silverbell remained silent as she rode shotgun, smiling faintly and nonchalantly as she twirled her hair around her finger."I know you love Helen and Vicky—I can see that much," she said softly. "That's why I have no intention of getting involved from the start. I've also tried to keep myself preoccupied with Martial Alliance business so that I don't have time for silly thoughts, but every time I see you…"She trailed off, lowering her head as she murmured, "My mind would always become a mess, even after I painstakingly composed myself."But don't worry, Frank. I'll do my best to stay away, so you don't have to worry, but you must be more careful from now on."The powers that be in Draconia exist in a convoluted mess, and a single mistake leads to hell. Even if you're strong enough, there's just too many of them…"Fr
"Huh…" Frank scratched his head awkwardly. "But we are engaged. We can't annul that, right?""Hehe," Silverbell giggled. "Can a childish engagement be taken seriously? You're being sly now, Frank.""Of course it can. I'm a man of my word!"-Soon, Frank was driving back to Favoni House, where he gave Lubor—who was being hung at the gates—a surprise of the lifetime.It was the severed head of one of Hundred Bane Sect's elders.And when the bleeding head was flung on the ground, Lubor actually forgot his pain as he stared at the head for a moment and shrieked, "You're a dead man, Frank Lawrence! Murdering an elder of Hundred Bane Sect?! No one can save you now! I've already triggered the blood centipede as well—that bitch is going to die right now!""Hmph."Frank was not worried at all, as Lubor was only raving and rambling because he knew he was a dead man walking.Lubor's threat was completely futile too, since Frank had already extracted the blood centipede from Silverbell's
