    "Alright. So, is everyone in the first group here?"


    Nheless, with Kat arrivingst on the floating tform and in dramatic fashion at that, Mr. Zoran looked around and did a head count.


    The number of participants there was exactly the number of participants in the group, except for Lebon, who was disqualified after falling into theke. "Counting down from five!" Mr. Zoran announced as he held up a palm.


    As he started counting down, the martial artists around them appeared solemn and wary.


    It was a free-for-all-with one misstep, they would be attacked in numbers.


    "One... Go!"


    Once Mr. Zoran finished the countdown and the free-for-all began, every participant leapt toward the target they had locked on to.


    "Hello, princess... Let''s see what you can do!"


    A fat middle-aged martial artist was wiping his drool as he charged toward Kat.


    "Hoho! You have fine taste, brother! What a coincidence—I was aiming for her too!"


    Another tanned youth wasughing as he ran at Kat as well, his smile at once sleazy.


    "Hmph."


    Kat snorted coolly, not panicking despite seeing the two martial artistsing from both directions. "Come at me all you want!" "You''re taking us both on? Do you have the... stamina?"


    The fat martial artist kept his sleazy smile as he reached out for Kat''s chest just then...


    "Despicable!"


    "Yeah. That''s just disgusting!"


    Meanwhile, the audience around theke, especially thedies, were ring in disdain and shouting in vocal disapproval at the two martial artists nking Kat and forcing her to fight two against one.


    et


    Naturally, neither of those two martial artists cared about the criticism. The fat martial artist''s hand was even drawing ever closer to Kat''s chest, no longer hiding his sleazy smile as he drooled a ton.

    "Tut, tut-I don''t get it. What''s there to grope? There''s nothing there."


    Frank, who was watching from afar, was clicking his tongue and shaking his head instead of worrying over Kat. "What..."


    The girl behind the geezer beside Frank, who had been grateful to him earlier, was left glowering at Frank''s words. "Aren''t you her brother?! How could you say something like that?!"


    UMS


    "Huh? Oh, right." Frank did a double take but soon chuckled. "Actually, I''m not her brother. I''m her mentor."


    "Even if you are, you don''t get to..."


    The girl was ready to snap but soon stopped in shock. "Wait, you''re her mentor?"


    After all, Frank looked too young to be a mentor.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Even the geezer beside Frank nced at him in surprise and disbelief.


    If he was a mentor, did that not mean the other man and the girl with him were his apprentices too?


    Moreover, the geezer had seen the depth of Scarface''s abilities, and Frank would definitely have to be superior to be his mentor—and not just slightly, too.


    Did that not mean Frank was an Ascendant-ranked elite?!
