Frank never turned back as he strode out of the hotel room only to find a large group of people crowding the doorway outside.
There were both men and women, and all of them were nodding in understanding when they saw Frank.
Two men strode up right then, exclaiming, "That was amazing, brother!"
"Damn straight. What supplements have you been taking? Can you give me a recommendation?"
Frank did a double take, and it was only after a while that he realized what both men meant.
The hotel was not particularly large, and the walls were thin—Quinn's voice must have resounded across the entire building
"Leave a number, handsome?" Two ladies whose bodies were only covered with bath towels even intercepted Frank on his way out, winking flirtatiously.
"Sorry, not interested."
Frank strode past them right then, though the two men gave chase right then. "Come on, brother! What's your secret? Tell us…"
Still in the room, Quinn was left staring blankly at the bloodstains on the sheets, and she also overheard the misunderstandings of the gossiping crowd.
However, instead of getting angry, she actually felt embarrassed…
Eventually, she left the hotel with Frank.
Frank took her to a boutique, since her clothes were stained with blood and riddled with holes and almost unwearable.
The retail assistant kept praising Quinn's beauty, her tone making it clear that she presumed that Frank was Quinn's boyfriend.
"Dahok Ocean is our sect chief, but he's usually training alone within his residence and basically never tends to sect affairs."
Along the way, Quinn gave Frank a lot of information about the internal workings of Sage Lake Sect.
"Although Maron is Dahok's only son, it's usually the elders who confer and decide on all affairs within the sects. My father has the final say as a high elder, and naturally he made many enemies because of that."
That was when Quinn sighed. "Now that he's dead, authority in the sect would fall to the elders. I alone won't be able to oppose them, and our only chance is to sneak in and go straight to our sect chief. We'll talk things through with him and ask him to take control over the situation—that's the only way to save the people that Maron abducted unscathed."
Believing that it was a good idea, Frank hence alighted on his own at the fringes of Southdam.
While he strode boldly and alone through the front gates of Sage Lake Sect, Quinn sneaked in through the rear. Thanks to her familiarity with the internal structure of the sect, she headed straight toward Dahok's residence.
The Needles of Nine Animus did not just heal her injuries—it restored her meridian nexus and vigor as well.
