    Frank nced at the battered boxing machine, as well as the other martial artists who were busy talking among themselves, and shook his head. "There would be a terrible loss. And since I''d rather avoid that, I hope we could all just let it rest."


    However, forget everyone present-even Scarface, Mona, and Kat thought Frank was being full of himself.


    "Master Lawrence, don''t you think you''re... Ahem?"


    Kat was going to say that Frank was really pushing his luck but could not say it out loud since she was on his side.


    At the same time, Scarface, who had been standing in the crowd and watching all this while, turned toward Mona. "Hey, has Brother Lawrence always been like that?"


    "Well... Yeah."


    Mona was left pursing her lips as she stared at Frank in exasperation. "He''s slow on the uptake when ites to certain things, so he doesn''t know that he wasn''t making peace-if anything, what he said was a provocation.


    "Naturally, from his point of view, he might be making peace. And I think what he''s going to say now is ''I''m just stating a fact."


    As if on cue and just as Mona finished, Frank calmly told the members of Thousand Isles Guild, "I''m just stating a fact."


    "What..."


    Scarface was left blinking, while Mona was rubbing her temples.


    "What..."


    On the other hand, Tijil felt as if Frank was belittling him, which was undoubtedly a horrific insult.


    Laughing despite himself, he was soon pointing at Frank and bellowing, "Fine! Since you''re that confident, I, Tijil Stam, dere that I will pay for any damage you incur!"


    Pausing, he then continued, "But if you lose, you''re kneeling before me in apology, and you will swear never to meddle with Thousand Isles Guild! You hear me?!"


    "Will you pay for any damages?"


    Frank was taken aback and nonchntly turned toward Mr. Zoran. "Does that count as a verbal agreement?"


    Mr. Zoran was left wiping the sweat off his brow at Frank''s dead serious question.


    He tried to reason with Frank but was stopped by Tijil this time. "Tell him, Mr. Zoran!"


    As such, Mr. Zoran shed a smile so awkward he looked like he was crying. "What? Right... Yeah, it counts."


    "Good!"


    Frank finally appeared interested


    right then, his eyes narrowing at Tijil.


    "If I lose, I will kneel and apologize... but what about you, Mr. Stam?"


    "If I lose?!"


    Tijil did a double take, but like before, he did not think he would lose.


    After all, Frank did not even look thirty, and he had never heard of Frank before.


    Even if he was a prodigy who had reached the Ascendant rank, there was no way that he could surpass Tijil at his young age!


    As such, heughed despite himself,Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    seeing how serious Frank was as he asked him what he would do if he lost. "I lose, I''ll abandon my dignity and kneel to you in apology! How about that?!"


    "Woah..."


    Scarface gasped as he observed the exchange between Tijil and Frank and then turned toward Mona. "Kid, why do I have the feeling that Brother Lawrence is doing this on purpose?"


    "Well..." Mona was left raising a brow, unable to answer.
