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 it was
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 broken
meridian nexus to boot. -
The entire hill surrounding Salazar House belonged to the Salazars, and it was situated in the outskirts
of Sunny City.
Quinn kept fighting even as she ran, pursued by the Salazars' bodyguard up the hill, and was cornered
over the cliff.
"Put down your weapon! Stop resisting already!"

The Salazars' bodyguards kept provoking Quinn.
Still, her cheeks clenched in determination as she glanced beneath the cliff and found the river
beneath. "Hah! You'll never take me alive," she cried right then. "And once I return to Sage Lake Sect,
you traitors 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 Quinn
Ocean?!"
"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 all be dead
once Sage Lake Sect comes for us!"
His bodyguards also realized that they were in deep trouble and promptly drove down the mountain.
Donald remained on the cliff, his white hair flapping against the wind as he stood on the edge and
looked downward. "Hmph... Jumping down from here, especially when she's that hurt? She's definitely
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 make you

Then, after finishing his usual training routine, a call arrived from Vicky Turnbull. "What have you been
up to these days?"
Frank had not told Vicky about Neil Turnbull's conspiracy, since he would deliver a present during
Helen 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 the
office 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 drink
with me tonight?"
Frank raised a brow. "Where?"
