However, it was too late for regrets now.
The only thing Quinn could do was to flee Salazar House. She must inform Sage Lake Sect that it was the Salazars who killed her father, and they must exact revenge against them, not Frank.
Hence, she did all she could to scale the walls of Salazar House and fled outside.
Still, her consciousness was blurring—she was already hurt physically, and there was her broken meridian nexus to boot.
-
The entire hill surrounding Salazar House belonged to the Salazars, and it was situated in the outskirts of Sunny City.
Quinn kept fighting even as she ran, pursued by the Salazars' bodyguard up the hill, and was cornered over the cliff.
"Put down your weapon! Stop resisting already!"
"We can do this painlessly. It's better for everyone, no?"
The Salazars' bodyguards kept provoking Quinn.
Still, her cheeks clenched in determination as she glanced beneath the cliff and found the river beneath.
"Hah! You'll never take me alive," she cried right then. "And once I return to Sage Lake Sect, you traitors are all going to die!"
Then, throwing the weapon she wrestled from one of the bodyguards earlier, she leapt off the cliff!
Soon, a red-eyed Donald arrived. "So? Is she dead?"
The bodyguards all traded glances, none of them daring to speak.
"What?!" Donald barked. "Have you all gotten mute?! I'm asking a question here! Where is Quinn Ocean?!"
At Skywater Bay, Frank used some of his essence to refine an Ichor Pill and called Trevor Zurich to have someone deliver it to Flora Hall.
Then, after finishing his usual training routine, a call arrived from Vicky Turnbull. "What have you been up to these days?"
Frank had not told Vicky about Neil Turnbull's conspiracy, since he would deliver a present during Helen Lane's wedding anyway.
Still, Vicky was being jovial as always, asking, "So, did you miss me?"
Frank was in a good mood and actually played along. "A little, I guess. I mean, I haven't been to the office for a while."
"Huh…" Vicky paused, surprised by his playful response.
Still, she giggled. "I guess you're in a good mood today. So why not do me a favor and have a drink with me tonight?"
Frank raised a brow. "Where?"
