Every person in the White family sobbed audibly once Jorg's guild left, rejoicing from barelyescaping the jaws of death.

But who could have saved them?

On the other hand, Eron completely ignored Kim, even as she threw herself on his father's lifelessbody and wailed.

He was staring blankly at Shane, who was talking into his phone stealthy as he hid behind a tree.He was wondering who had saved his family and just happened to remember Shane's outburst justbefore he was chased out of White Hall.

"Mr. White, my family rose to prominence in Southstream because we have backing. Sage Lake Sectmay be powerful, but they aren't invincible like you would think! You'll regret your actions on thisday!"

Shane had merely said all that out of pure petty spite, but Eron took it for the truth.

And now, he dropped on all fours, grasping Shane's trousers as he kowtowed repeatedly, crying,"Thank you so much, Mr. Tomen! You've saved my family... you must have called your father to stopJorg, right? We will forever remember this life debt—I didn't deserve this for mocking you before!My life is forfeited!"

"Huh..." Shane was holding his phone, staring blankly at Eron.

He was almost wetting his pants when he got caught in the whole ordeal. While the black-clad menwere not watching, he called his father, begging for his father to save him.

Naturally, his father did not have the connections or power to bail him out from a blood knight likeJorg, and he was flustered himself at the moment.

On the other hand, when Shane saw that circumstances had changed, he promptly hung up.

He glanced at Kim, whose clothes were still in pieces, his eyes flashing with yearning lust.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it. Just arrange for marriage between me and Kim if you reallywant to thank me," he said, puffing his chest proudly.

Eron nodded repeatedly. "Our family is indebted to you. It's Kim's good fortune that you'reinterested in her.”

Meanwhile, Frank was driving straight to White Hall, though he had three passengers this time.Naturally, Burt was riding shotgun after Frank tended to him, stopping his injuries fromdeteriorating.

Aion and his granddaughter, both of whom were exhausted, were in the back seat.

Along the way, Aion's granddaughter introduced herself to Frank as Mona Fairfax, addingflirtatiously, "You can call me anything you like."

She was Frank's diehard fan now, giving him the Goldeater Cane that they had found behind SilverSpring Dojo without any qualms.

Naturally, Aion was left scowling at Mona for giving away such treasure freely, but she did not care.On the other hand, Frank was in a much better mood now with the Goldeater Cane. After all, he wasjust one Elemental Wonder away from recovering his peak form.

Still, when he returned to White Hall, he found the servants carrying a mattress out of the house—asign that someone important in the family had died.

His heart skipped a beat, but he carried Burt through the front door.

There, he immediately saw the servants working busily everywhere and Eron with a clear fawninglook.

"Eron White!" Frank bellowed, glowering as soon as he saw him.

"F-Frank Lawrence?!" Eron was left dumbfounded to see him return. "Y-You're not dead?!"

His reaction left Frank chuckling coolly as the latter strode up and seized him by the collar. "SageLake Sect was never enough to kill me. Now, tell me what happened here and where Aria is!"
