Nothing was easier than for Quinn to avoid the guards and sneak into Dahok's residence.
She split up with Frank as he would be drawing the attention of the Sage Lake Sect leaders.
He strode through the mountain gates and immediately saw the stately board on which the name 'Sage Lake Sect' was carved—century-old sects really did impress.
The apprentices standing guard were glowering and barking when they saw Frank, "Who goes there?!"
"Frank Lawrence of Riverton."
The apprentices' faces fell as soon as Frank replied, and they encircled Frank while one of them ran into the building to report.
Soon, Maron Ocean and a group of Sage Lake Sect elders stepped out, standing above the stairs as they looked down on Frank with lofty contempt.
Maron was still in his white suit, clapping when he saw Frank. "Not bad. You have the balls to come here to die."
The two elders with him scowled in disdain, snapping, "Slaying our apprentices and our high elder?! Get down on your knees and accept your punishment!"
"What are you waiting for?! Kneel!"
"Oh, calm down, Elder Huxley and Elder Randel." Maron smiled meaningfully. "We have another guest today, and Frank here certainly looks confident coming here alone. Why don't we have him fight against our own elites, while our other guest offers some critique to improve ourselves and all that?"
Both elders frowned at his suggestion.
"How about this?!" Frank suddenly bellowed, his hand suddenly shooting out at bullet speed as he seized Maron by the neck.
One move, and Frank would snap it!
Elder Huxley and Elder Randel panicked, seeing how easily Frank caught Maron.
"Insolence! How dare you behave with such impudence in our enclave!"
"Maron!"
"I'm giving you a chance now," Frank simply growled at Maron, returning his threat word-for-word.
