Fringe apprentices like Burt would never be allowed access to the core teachings of Sage Lake Sect—if anything, he had to personally find and learn various martial arts techniques on his own.
Sage Lake Sect only offered their influence and monetary support, and nothing else.
On the other hand, as soon as he offered to join Mystic Sky Sect, Frank had already forgiven his earlier insolence and actually told him he was willing to teach him Mystic Sky Sect martial arts.
And it was Mystic Sky Sect that they were talking about—once an equal to Cloudnine Sect!
Considering Frank's strength, the level of martial arts involved was all too clear!
Burt made up his mind thoroughly right then—instead of serving Sage Lake Sect as a lapdog, suffering their whims, why not serve Frank instead?
Joining Mystic Sky Sect and learning their martial arts was something he had never imagined but was now offered to him on a silver platter!
"No one can blame me for this. Even if Sage Lake Sect stops treating me like a dog, I'm not going to be sentimental," he muttered under his breath, clenching his fist as he resolved himself.

"Hahaha..."
However, even as Burt resolved himself, he heard an eerie laughter from the back, and he flinched.
He turned to find that it was Quinn Ocean, who had regarded him with such disdain before.
"She's alive?!"
Burt was shocked, but as he walked up to look at Quinn closer, she realized that she was staring into
thin air, clearly out of her mind as she mumbled to herself.
He then remembered what Frank said—was that why he spared her? Because she went insane?
"That's so nice of him."
He could not help being impressed—Quinn had repeatedly messed with Frank, but Frank spared her
just because she lost her mind and posed no threat.
"Heh. You really should thank Mr. Lawrence—you'd be just another corpse on the floor tonight if he
didn't decide to spare you. Being the daughter of Sage Lake Sect's elder really wouldn't make much of
a difference."
With that, he turned to leave with a sneer and called his contacts to clean up the mess.
Since he had decided to ioin Frank he would do his utmost to the man's satisfaction.
However, while he was not watching, Quinn's eyes were suddenly focused, even showing a glimmer of
spite.

Early next morning, Chaz Graves arrived at Helen's office, looking sharp in his suit.
Helen was just having a meeting, and only saw him after it was over.
"What are you doing here, Chaz?" She exclaimed in surprise.
"Why can't I visit?"
"Oh, of course. Also, I haven't properly thanked you for saving Frank." Helen smiled.
Before she could continue, Chaz stopped her. "Why are you being so formal with me?"
Then, he suddenly looked worried as he asked, "How's Luna? Has she made a full recovery?"
"How'd you know?" Helen was surprised again that Chaz knew about that too.
Chaz explained, "I met your mom while I was waiting for you, and she mentioned it while we were chatting. Your ex-husband refused to treat him as well? What is actually going on here?"
