"Hahaha..."


    Maron wasughing as he came over, throwing an arm around Frank''s shoulder. "Lady Silverbell, this


    is my friend, Frank Lawrence."


    "Frank Lawrence.?! No, that''s impossible."


    Silverbell''s cool gaze flickered for a moment, showing confusion and reminisce. However, it onlysted


    for a moment as she regained her coolposure, and she threw those thoughts away.


    She hade to East Draconia for Frank Lawrence—Donn Lawrence, to be precise.


    Donn was the son of Godwin Lawrence, the Lord of the Southern Woods. Silverbell was told that Donn


    had found sess in Riverton, and she had traveled there to meet him. to clear the air and annul the


    engagement their parents decided for them while they were children.


    As for the man before her. Even if he had the same name, Frank should not be here in Southdam, let


    alone get involved with Sage Lake Sect.


    After all, Sage Lake Sect was a minor cabal in a remote location—the Lord of the Southern Woods'' son


    would never keep such frivolouspany.


    Presuming that this man of the same name caused a misunderstanding, Silverbell shook her head and


    drifted away before Frank said a word.


    Frank frowned even as he looked on—he recognized her even though she could not recognize him.


    It was indeed Silverbell, the daughter of his father''s valet.


    She did not go by anyst names—Frank remembered naming her Silverbell himself. -


    When Donn was young and ying in the woods, he chanced upon Fenton telling Godwin that he was


    gifted with a daughter and asking Godwin to name her.


    Though Godwin was happy for Fenton, he let Donn do the naming. However, Donn was just a boy at


    the time, and the wind chimes dangling beneath the roof just happened to catch his attention. He


    suggested Silverbell right then and was surprised that Fenton took it seriously.


    With that, Donn had a ymate until he was ten, when his mother was in in a revenge killing.


    Under the rain and thunder, Frank clutched his mother''s lifeless body and cursed her father for being


    too much of a coward to avenge his own wife.


    Eventually, Donn became Frank, parting ways from his father and leaving Cloudington, eventually


    joining Mystic Sky Sect.


    Now that he thought about it, it had been over a decade since they hadst met—she had since


    be a woman of marvelous beauty and had the martial caliber to be chosen as the chief of the


    Martial Alliance.


    Frank actually had no idea what the Martial Alliance was all about. Given Maron''s attitude, however, it


    was definitely no child''s y.


    He did not take offense that Silverbell did not recognize him either, since people changed—especially


    over twenty years.

    Still, he felt content, seeing that the young girl who always tagged along when he practiced martial arts


    had be such a goddess and remembering the cute way she used to say his name^


    That was when Maron pointed at Silverbell, chuckling under his breath, "What do you think, Frank?


    That figure, that ass, and those pretty cheeks... Don''t you just want to defile her viciously in bed?"
