NovelEnglishFrank never turned back as he strode out of the hotel room only to find a large group of people crowding the doorway outside.
There were both men and women, and all of them were nodding in understanding when they saw Frank.
Two men strode up right then, exclaiming, "That was amazing, brother!" "Damn straight. What supplements have you been taking? Can you givea recommendation?" Frank did a double take, and it was only after a while that he realized what both men meant.
The hotel was not particularly large, and the walls were thin—Quinn's voice must have resounded across the entire building "Leave a number, handsome?" Two ladies whose bodies were only covered with bath towels even intercepted Frank on his way out, winking flirtatiously.

Still in the room, Quinn was left staring blankly at the bloodstains on the sheets, and she also overheard the misunderstandings of the gossiping crowd.
However, instead of getting angry, she actually felt embarrassed.
Eventually, she left the hotel with Frank.
Frank took her to a boutique, since her clothes were stained with blood and riddled with holes and almost unwearable.
The retail assistant kept praising Quinn's beauty, her rb mern it clear that she presumed that Frank was Quinn's boyfriend.
Though Quinn quickly denied it, she kept sliding peeks at Frank with a hopeful look in her eyes.
Frank could naturally read Quinn's intention, but he really did not have tto waste on her.
Things were still dire, with Helen and the others still in the hands of Sage Lake Sect.
He whipped out the card Vicky gave him, had the retail assistant pick something for Quinn, and dragged her along as they hurried to his car.
As such, the retail assistant was left pouting as she was just about to recommend something fashionable worth over tens of thousands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSage Lake Sect's headquarters was in Southdam.
Frank had wanted to call up Trevor Zurich and had him send a group with them but changed his mind. With Quinn, who was a member of Sage Lake Sect, they did not need numbers. In fact, they might even get in the way.
"Dahok Ocean is our sect chief, but he's usually training alone within his residence and basically never tends to sect affairs." Along the way, Quinn gave Frank a lot of information about the internal workings of Sage Lake Sect.
"Although Maron is Dahok's only son, it's usually the elders who confer and decide on all affairs within the sects.
My father has the final say as a high elder, and naturally he made many enemies because of that." That was when Quinn sighed. "Now that he's dead, authority in the sect would fall to the elders. | alone won't be able to oppose them, and our only chance is to sneak in and go straight to our sect chief. We'll talk things through with him and ask him to take control over the situation—that's the only way to save the people that Maron abducted unscathed." Believing that it was a good idea, Frank hence alighted on his own at the fringes of Southdam.
While he strode boldly and alone through the front gates of Sage Lake Sect, Quinn sneaked in through the rear.
Thanks to her familiarity with the internal structure of the sect, she headed straight toward Dahok's residence.
The Needles of Nine Animus did not just heal her injuries—it restored her meridian nexus and vigor as well.
