Donald then asked, "Ms. Ocean, Drakon was your fiance—are you not going to avenge him?"
"When have I ever said I won't?" Quinn growled coolly. "There's no way I'd sit back when hewas a member of Sage Lake Sect. Once I inform my father, we will naturally plan accordingly."
Donald was naturally relieved—with Sage Lake Sect's help, there was certainly a better chanceof success in avenging his son!novelbin
"Of course, Ms. Ocean. My family is at your disposal—I'll do anything to avenge my son."
Frank left the Turnbull Villa early next morning, since he was really not keen to stay around aftersuffering Susan Redford's grumpiness during breakfast.
Vicky was still sleepy after all the excitement yesterday, so Walter personally escorted him tothe front gates.
"Please don't get upset with my wife, Mr. Lawrence," he said. "She's a little power hungry... Restassured that I'll always be indebted to you."
Frank waved him off with a smile. "You're exaggerating, Mr. Turnbull. I'd never get upset withyour wife, and I'm still awash with gratitude that you gave me one of the Five ElementalWonders."
Walter was certainly pleased to hear that. "I'm relieved that you'd say that."
They made some small talk after that, after which Frank excused himself.
It was early in the morning, with barely any pedestrians and the air fresh.
As Frank ran toward Skywater Bay, he ran headlong into Janet when he passed Flora Hall.
She quickly waved when she saw him. "You train very early, Mr. Lawrence."
"Just feeling like it, Ms. Zimmer."
"But you're not staying nearby, are you?" Janet asked in curiosity.
Frank smiled. "Nope. I just stayed the night at Turnbull Villa, and I'm heading back to Skywater Bay
now."
"You stayed the night at Turnbull Villa?" Janet exclaimed in surprise.
Frank nodded. "Yeah. What's up?"
"Oh. nothing," Janet shook her head, feeling dismay inwardly but quickly changing the subject. "Have
you had breakfast? Why don't you eat with us here?"
"No, I've had breakfast." Frank smiled politely.
"Okay—"
Bang!
A loud crash resounded from the road just as Janet tried to find something else to talk about.
She and Frank turned to see that a Mercedes had just crashed into a motorcycle, with vegetables
spilling out of the motorcycle's sidecar.
Two women promptly leapt out of the Mercedes, and it was immediately clear that both of themcame from money. After all, the driver appeared to be in her forties, and had perfect upkeepmatched with expensive jewelry. The younger woman who rode shotgun was dressed up inpretty lolita fashion as well, but her arm was clearly dislocated.
Jade Zahn, the driver, was immediately hugging her daughter, Luna Lane, as she snapped,"Don't you know how to ride?! I'll have you killed if anything bad happens to my daughter!"
The motorcycle rider was Brenda, a female vendor, and she was bleeding freely from a gash onher head.
Naturally, she was terrified since Jade and her daughter were driving an expensive car andwearing expensive jewelry.
"I'm so sorry... It was an accident," she immediately apologized.
"Apologizing?! What's the point?!" Jade bellowed as she glared at her.
Luna burst into tears right then. "Mom, my arm. It hurts so much!"
"It's alright, darling. I'll get you a doctor right away," Jade quickly assured her before wheelingon the onlookers and bellowing, "What are you all looking at? Don't you know you should becalling an ambulance?! Are all Rivertonians idiots?!"
The onlookers were all frowning and taking a step back at her outburst, and some who werejust about to call an ambulance also quietly put away their phones.
