"Who is it?"
Frank frowned, instinctively distancing himself from Juno, only for her to press herself on him relentlessly.
"Now, now. This man is quite amazing… I'm worried you can't do it, husband." Juno smiled, her eyes narrowing.
She looked just like one of the vixens in folklore, born charming and able to send any man into a frenzy.
However, Frank remained perfectly calm as he repeated, "Who is it?"
Juno paused for a moment as Frank was not falling for her tricks, surprised that Frank was so determined.
Hence, she leaned in, her red lips parting as she smiled and breathed into his ear, "Silverbell, chief of the Martial Alliance."
"What?!"
Frank's face fell right then, and he leveled a cold—even murderous—glare at Juno, ready to attack even as he rasped, "Do you want to die?"
"Oh, come on. I was just yanking your chains." Juno giggled to play it off, knowing right then that she had pushed one of Frank's buttons from the way he threatened her.
"Then who is it?" Frank growled impatiently, ready to leave.
"Hehe. It's Rambada, Talnam's general-in-chief."
Juno smiled but was no longer holding back. "He's not an easy opponent, as he's Talnam's strongest man and a genuine Ascendant rank. How about that, husband? Are you sure you can do this?"
"A Talnam general?"
Frank shelved his impatience, but was still frowning as he asked, "What happened between you two?"
It was a headache as soon as Frank thought of her, but he had no better plan anyway.
Lodging at a hotel, he did his usual training routine the next morning and had breakfast before heading off.
As Juno suggested, he drove to Morhen Studios and found Kat's production crew.
Still, before he could get in, several security guards intercepted him.
"Hold it. This is the production set for Academy in Bloom! Looking for someone? Where's your work pass?'
"Work pass?"
Frank was left confused but soon realized that the security guards were right.
