Horey was not the only one who reacted badly.Even Kairo, who was pinned to the ground under Frank's foot, began to thrash about wildly when he heard Frank's words. His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he turned to Horey, his eyes seemingly ablaze."Horey! What the hell does he mean by that?!" Kairo demanded, his voice a mix of fury and desperation."I-I..." Horey stammered, her face flushing with embarrassment and anger. She could not find the words to explain and finally lashed out at Frank, "You just took one look at me—how could you possibly know the child isn't his? Are you trying to drive a wedge between us on purpose?"Frank was unperturbed. He stared down at the bewildered Kairo and chuckled. "Determining if someone is pregnant is straightforward, but figuring out who the father is? That's a bit more complicated. Even I can't do that." "Then why are you talking nonsense here?!" Horey retorted, her voice rising with frustration."However!" Frank's eyes narrowed as h

"A man must be able to handle both gains and losses. And to grow, one must be able to rise above their own limitations."Frank's gaze remained calm as he looked at Kairo.Yosil was watching from afar, and he nodded silently at Frank's words.The Lord of the Southern Woods' son was indeed earnest! Yosil sighed inwardly. Despite facing such unfair treatment and ridicule from his opponent, Frank still chose to offer advice through words. Such breadth of mind was rare in this world.It would be good If Kairo could truly listen and sincerely acknowledge his mistakes. If he admitted defeat and knelt to Frank as agreed, then his future would be limitless. He would surely overcome this hurdle and achieve great things!Only an elderly man like Yosil, tempered by many years, could understand why Frank acted this way. Frank was not trying to humiliate Kairo or drive him insane. Instead, he aimed to offer guidance in this situation. This would allow Kairo to overcome his own humiliation

"You've missed your chance," Frank murmured.Kairo's lips had already disintegrated, leaving him unable to speak. However, his eyes showed a flicker of regret in his final moments. By the time Frank stood up, Kairo had completely disintegrated. Only a puddle of foul-smelling green ooze was left of him.The onlookers were horrified, their hair standing on end at the sight of Kairo's gruesome end.Unexpectedly, Horey wiped her eyes and got up from the ground. Looking unbothered, she turned to Yosil. Then, she extended her hand and said coldly, "Hand over the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom. This is your last chance."As she spoke, Horey pulled out her phone and made a gesture as if dialing a number. "If you don't, I'll call my master right now and tell them that it was Kornac's Keep that killed my senior Kairo.""What?!"Everyone was stunned by Horey's cold demeanor. She even used her senior's death to threaten Kornac's Keep. Even Frank frowned.Horey looked at Frank and coldly said, "

"No, please don't!"Yosil smiled, his eyes welling up with tears at the mere idea of Frank addressing him as a fellow apprentice. "You're giving me too much credit, Mr. Lawrence. I just happened to be taken in by Mystic Sky Sect as a gopher—I have no business being an apprentice!""It's alright. Just listen." Frank reared his chin as he spoke quietly, "It's been three years since the fall of Mystic Sky Sect. But even if it's gone now, I won't let you down as the senior apprentice, as long as you keep the flame in your heart."I will revive Mystic Sky Sect, and you will be formally initiated as an apprentice, while Kornac's Keep may also be taken in as a vassal. Even if there's a huge gap between our ages, I shall be your senior as per sect rules.""Yes… Yes!" Yosil was awash with tears. He would die before dreaming that he would have the honor of being formally initiated into Mystic Sky Sect as an apprentice. Even if they were gone now, they would definitely see a resurgence un

Horey simply could not understand—what connections Frank could possibly have that her mentor would show such a weak reaction?Talk about a bolt from the blue!"Hmph. It seems Sienna Noirot knows her place…"Frank strode a step forward just then, coolly demanding, "And what about you? Are you still going to insist on taking the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom?""I…"Horey had lost her trump card.In fact, everyone clearly heard what her mentor had told her—to kneel down before Frank and apologize.While Horey did not feel as humiliated as Kairo, she was still utterly confused.And since it was orders from above, she ultimately gave in for the sake of survival, kowtowing audibly and respectfully before Frank. "P-Please forgive me, Mr. Lawrence…""Get out of here."Seeing that Horey had acknowledged her mistake, Frank waved her off, not bothered to press the issue.Horey was certainly relieved, turning and fleeing the gates of Kornac's Keep without even collecting her late senior's belo
