Even Robert was left staring at Frank in disbelief. "Holy shit… Where does the man's potential even end?"
"Goodness…" Yara gulped beside him, her eyes flashing with envy.
Vicky was left astounded too.
To be honest, she had to keep reevaluating her opinion of Frank time after time because he was him!
That was when Frank moved one foot forward, and he seemed to teleport right in front of Kuno at the next moment.
Crack!
"Argh!"
Kuno tried to fight back, but Frank's palm had already struck his shoulder, shattering his collarbone!
As Kuno gritted his teeth in pain, his expression contorting savagely, Frank looked at him coolly. "You lost. Are you going to kill yourself, or should I do it for you?"
Kuno was wheezing, hardly able to believe that he had just lost to some boy who was in his twenties!
And having trained in martial arts for thirty years, he was not about to go down easily!
"You're telling me to die?! Who do you think you are?!" he shrieked before turning to his apprentices. "Get him! Kill him dead!"
He was convinced that Frank would survive if his apprentices swarmed him!
However, before the Flying Sword Sect apprentices could move, a thundering rumble of engines blared around them.
Suddenly, several green trucks crashed into the clubhouse!
Once they stopped, soldiers armed to the teeth all charged inside the clubhouse, encircling the Flying Sword Sect apprentices!
The soldiers' command was deafening. "Nobody move! Drop your weapons!"
Robert was left befuddled as he watched the soldiers. Their uniform sigils indicate that they were not under Riverton's jurisdiction, but they showed up here anyway…?
The Flying Sword Sect apprentices were all staring blankly at the dark barrels aimed at them—no matter how impressive their blades were, they would never win against that!
One of the more cowardly ones immediately threw down his weapon.
The man glanced at Robert and saluted him as well. "Colonel Hans Schnee, East Coast base commander."
"Base commander…?"
Robert's jaw could drop on the floor right then.
East Coast Base was the last bastion shielding the country, and the men there were supposed to stand guard even if all was left were corpses.
And yet, Frank could order them around?!
There was also the respect and deference Hans showed as he addressed Frank as Mr. Lawrence!
What was the connection between them?!
Hell, Robert was himself the governor of Riverton and a bigwig here, but he would be pretty insignificant in East Coast Base!
"Apologies for asking, but why have you come, colonel?" Robert asked tentatively.
"I received an anonymous tip about a sect starting a riot," Hans replied coolly. "Of course something needs to be done."
