However, the technique that left all the martial artists in awe disappeared by the next instant.
The shockwave from the kick was gone, even before it reached Frank's neck!
While everyone was left confused, some of the more keen-eyed martial artists noticed what had happened.
The bodyguard did not withdraw. Instead, the kick was nullified…
"Argh!"
There was a blood-curdling scream as the bodyguard, who had been utterly pompous a second ago, was now kneeling before Frank.
His lips were lopsided in agony, and tears were actually rolling down his cheeks from the sheer agony of his hand.
"Y-You brat…" the bodyguard growled as he glared murderously at Frank.
"Whoa!"
The others soon noticed that Frank was still holding his hand… or what was left of it.
After all, it had been a hand a second ago, but now it was nothing more than mush.
It turned out that Frank had crushed the bodyguard's knuckle when he tried to kick Frank, causing him to stop in agony.
"I see…"
While the crowd realized why the bodyguard had stopped, another shocking question appeared in their mind.
What kind of a man would it take to crush a Birthright-ranked martial elite's hand so easily?
"Phoenix Ardron."
Frank did not mention his own name, however, and continued calmly as the other martial artists looked on. "Even if you're a Cloudnine Sect apprentice, you should adhere to the Martial Alliance's rules when you're on their turf. Queue up properly instead of strutting around."
"Are you lecturing me?" Phoenix narrowed her eyes, her expression slowly turning hostile.
"Just telling you something that is perfectly normal. I don't fear Cloudnine Sect, even if others do."
As Frank's gaze remained calm, the other martial artists were all whispering softly among themselves.
While the room seemed silent, Phoenix suddenly exclaimed, "Impressive!"
Then, as the other martial artists looked on, she raised her palms and started clapping, her eyes still fixed on Frank. "You believe that I, Phoenix Ardron, should queue up with these lowly nobodies? Haven't you heard of the Martial Alliance's recommendation system?"
