Chapter 667 Seeing that Maron actually knew his place, Silverbell nodded impassively.
"In that case, your application to the Martial Alliance is now forfeited. Only approach us in Morhen again if one of yours actually reaches Ascendant rank.

Silverbell's expression cooled, staring pointedly around at the Sage Lake Sect apprentices. "Is there anything else you have to add?" "Certainly." Maron strode forward, shaking his head. "Like you said, my sect's right is rightly forfeited. But
won't you agree it's a pity when my father just happens to be incapacitated, and the chance that Cloudnine Sect fought for us would only come to waste?" "What are you trying to say?" Silverbell growled impatiently.
"Patience, Lady Silverbell." Maron smiled politely. "Even if current members of my sect have failed, my friend here is willing to join and help us fight for this chance, and he's a formidable one." "Your friend?" Silverbell frowned as she turned toward Frank without knowing but soon shook her head. "I remember saying you only have one chance, Mr. Maron. You failed to take it, and asking for a third party's help is against the rules."
"Come now, Lady Silverbell!" Maron exclaimed in dramatic misery. "What's another match when you're that 4 strong? My friend here comes from distant lands too, and it won't do for him to leave in disappointment. Can't you give us another chance for the sake of Cloudnine Sect?" Before Silverbell could say another word, he threw up a palm. "I swear this will be our last chance. We will never bother you again if we lose!" Silverbell certainly wanted to say no but felt that curious sensation from | before as she glanced at Frank again, who remained impassive.
After some thought, she nodded despite herself. "Fine. Seeing that your father is unduly incapacitated, I can give you another chance. But this shall
be the last." "Of course! Certainly!" Maron exclaimed delightedly, his eyes narrowing as he returned to Frank.

Maron trailed off but raised his phone to show a black-clad man smiling as he tore through Helen's sleeve, baring her fair skin.
"No—!" Helen screamed and flinched in fear, while the black-clad man | laughed and stood akimbo.
~The laughter left Frank clenching his knuckle so hard it could break.
Maron chuckled darkly in turn. "If you lose, the guild will have their way with
them... No woman ever survives, just | so you know." "Understood." ¥ Frank nodded, impassive as he strode past the Sage Lake Sect apprentices as they cleared a path.
As he made his way toward Silverbell, who stood with sword in hand, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Frank Lawrence... Have we met before?" "Hmm...?" Maron frowned at the question that seemed to have come out of nowhere.
