    "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 me 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 under the leadership of their senior appearance it was all just a matter of time.


    Frank nodded. "Good. And now that you''re an apprentice of Mystic Sky Sect, the troubles of Kornac''s Keep are mine too. I refuse to let Cloudnine Sect strut in my face!"


    Striding forward and staring at Horey, he said, "I''m now giving you one chance. I''ll count down from three, then I''ll do what I must if you still refuse to leave. Even if Cloudnine Sectes, I will face them myself I''ll see for myself how far their insolence can carry them!"


    "What..." Horey blurted.


    She watched as Frank and Yosil had a hushed exchange, after which Frank became determined to side with Kornac''s Keep against her.


    If anything, Horey did not even need her imagination for this.


    "So, the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is now in your hands?" she asked.


    "Indeed it is. Anyone who wants it cane to try and take it from me!" Frank bellowed thunderously.


    Everyone was left astonished by Frank''s suddenly imposing presence, a stark contrast from his self-deprecating mannerisms before.


    "Is he really going to fight against Cloudnine Sect?"


    "All by himself? How?"


    While everyone was left in an uproar and being vocally skeptical, Horey made up her mind.


    ring at Frank, she dialed a


    number while snapping at Frank, T


    warned you, but you insist on siding


    with them! Let''s see now if you''re really not afraid of Cloudnine Sect!"


    Even as he connected, Horey turned


    on the


    speaker to the med


    just to intimidate Frank and the


    members of Kornac''s Keep further.


    "Master Noirot!" she cried tearfully. "Kairo is dead! They killed him!"


    "Kairo Wal is dead, you say?"


    It was a familiar voice, and Frank searched his mind, soon remembering Sienna Noirot, whose beauty left even Helen jealous.


    Siena''s melodious voice was easily


    recognizable. It was calm and


    composed, and just slightly


    vel.!


    surprised despite being told that her apprentice had been killed.


    "Who did it?" She asked. "Didn''t you tell them that you''re from Cloudnine Sect?"


    "I did... but it didn''t matter!" Horey continued to re at Frank, her tone dramatically miserable and frustrated.


    "It didn''t matter, huh? Hmph. Tell me their name... Something must be done about this," Sienna said quietly. Horey was delighted at Sienna''s words.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
