However, it was too late for regrets now.

The only thing Quinn could do was to flee Salazar House. She must inform Sage Lake Sect that itwas the Salazars who killed her father, and they must exact revenge against them, not Frank.Hence, she did all she could to scale the walls of Salazar House and fled outside.

Still, her consciousness was blurring—she was already hurt physically, and there was her brokenmeridian nexus to boot.

The entire hill surrounding Salazar House belonged to the Salazars, and it was situated in theoutskirts of Sunny City.

Quinn kept fighting even as she ran, pursued by the Salazars' bodyguard up the hill, and wascornered over the cliff.

"Put down your weapon! Stop resisting already!"

"We can do this painlessly. It's better for everyone, no?"

The Salazars' bodyguards kept provoking Quinn.

Still, her cheeks clenched in determination as she glanced beneath the cliff and found the riverbeneath.

"Hah! You'll never take me alive," she cried right then. "And once I return to Sage Lake Sect, youtraitors are all going to die!"

Then, throwing the weapon she wrestled from one of the bodyguards earlier, she leapt off the cliff!Soon, a red-eyed Donald arrived. "So? Is she dead?”

The bodyguards all traded glances, none of them daring to speak.

"What?!" Donald barked. "Have you all gotten mute?! I'm asking a question here! Where is QuinnOcean?!"

"We pursued her here, and she had nowhere to run... so she leapt off the cliff.”

"Yeah, but she'd definitely be dead. The fall is too tall for anyone to survive it..."

Their vague answers only left Donald livid. "You are all useless, incompetent scum! Jaud White,Bocek Ocean... and the whole lot of you! Start searching now—I want to see a body, or we would allbe dead once Sage Lake Sect comes for us!"

His bodyguards also realized that they were in deep trouble and promptly drove down themountain.

Donald remained on the cliff, his white hair flapping against the wind as he stood on the edge andlooked downward. "Hmph... Jumping down from here, especially when she's that hurt? She'sdefinitely not going to live."

As he calmed down, he told his men, "Prepare my car. I'm visiting Sage Lake Sect!"

"Yes, Mr. Salazar," his bodyguards quickly responded.

Looking down the cliff one last time, Donald snorted. "It doesn't matter what I have to do. I'll makeyou pay, Frank Lawrence!"

At Skywater Bay, Frank used some of his essence to refine an Ichor Pill and called Trevor Zurich tohave someone deliver it to Flora Hall

Then, after finishing his usual training routine, a call arrived from Vicky Turnbull. "What have youbeen up to these days?"

Frank had not told Vicky about Neil Turnbull's conspiracy, since he would deliver a present duringHelen Lane's wedding anyway.

Still, Vicky was being jovial as always, asking, "So, did you miss me?"

Frank was in a good mood and actually played along. "A little, I guess. I mean, I haven't been to theoffice for a while."

"Huh..." Vicky paused, surprised by his playful response.

Still, she giggled. "I guess you're in a good mood today. So why not do me a favor and have a drinkwith me tonight?"

Frank raised a brow. "Where?"
