Kim clutched her cheek, glaring at Eron in disbelief. "You'd hit me over that woman?!"

Though her father loved her dearly, he changed ever since the Yaffe family had fallen, his behavior

becoming at once radical and unreasonable.

Where he would show some respect for Kim's opinion and choice before, he was now the embodiment

of stubbornness and apathy. He and Kim drifted apart, and now, he would even slap her over some

woman who deceived Frank.

Kim had never suffered such indignation!

She also knew very well what Aria was after watching the voyeur video of Aria at White Court Hotel.

She was as devious as she was stupid, and she always liked to draw attention.

And her father actually took interest in her? She was younger than Kim!

"I'm disappointed in you!" Kim cried, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked up.

"What..."

Eron actually felt stung, but he soon came to his senses as Aria was persistently gasping in pain right

beside him.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to," he glowered and growled through gritted teeth. "You fell for

Frank Lawrence, didn't you?"

"So what if I had?" Kim retorted defiantly.

"Give up already! He's probably dead by now!" Eron bellowed as he slammed his hand on the table.

"That bastard took our family's Earthen Dragonheart just because he saved you! I've already hadnovelbin

enough of his pompous, demeaning attitude! If not for him, the Yaffe family would now be our in-laws!

How could they have just fallen apart? Why can't our family ever rise to the top?!"

Kim would have snapped at his father for his mad ravings, but she was more concerned about Frank's

safety. "What did you do to Frank?!"

"What did I do?"

Her concern only incensed Eron and he snorted. "Fine, I won't keep it from you—did you really think

the tip I gave you was real?"

Eron appeared gleeful when he saw Kim's shock. "Well, it actually is real, and there is a Silver Spring

Dojo. but it's all just a trap for Frank—one that Sage Lake Sect and I worked together to prepare, I

might add! And that bastard went there happily, none the wiser. There, he would be facing hundreds of

Sage Lake Sect elites and two of their elders, Bocek Ocean and Eiger Ocean! They are both Skyrank,

and Frank Lawrence is dead once he gets there!"

"What?!" Kim's eyes widened in shock, and she could kill him right then, snapping in rage for once, "He

saved my life! I'd be dead if not for him—is my life worth less than an Earthen Dragonheart to you?!"

Her father's apathy was completely new to her—how did her kind, loving father turn out like this?! She

just could not understand!

"You don't get it Kim." Eron simply snorted. "Still waters run deep, especially in Southstream—if our

family is to survive and thrive, we must pay the price."
