Maron was endlessly pompous, clearly saying all he could to provoke Frank.
"It just happens that | have a guest from Morhen, but how do | put this? We can't afford to upset her." Maron sighed, shaking his head dramatically as he walked circles around Frank. "She's so hot, but she's also too powerful. She'd just killif | try to force myself on her—that's why | need a fearless champion, and one who has nothing to do with Sage Lake Sect to take her down. But | don't mean to hurt her, | just want to incapacitate her—ideally unconscious." "After that, leave everything to me," he finished, clapping Frank on the shoulder and patting his cheek.
"I'm counting on you, Mr. Lawrence! If you do, I'll..." Maron trailed off as he switched gears. "Hold on, letting off a martial elite like you so easily is a waste. Let's do it this way instead—I have five hostages, but you can pick the one | release while | release each of them after you fulfill a task for me. Generous, aren't I? That's decided!" Maron was going to strode off contentedly when Frank chuckled behind him.

"I'm surprised someone in Sage Lake Sect is that shameless, and." Frank wiped his own face as he grinned at Maron. "You're really asking for it!" Quinn scowled at the sight of Frank's grin.
Snorting, he suddenly leapt up and punched Frank in the stomach.
He really was Birthright rank and did not hold back from unleashing his vigor with his punch, almost bringing Frank to his knees.
As Frank straightened himself, his expression was placid EE as he chuckled coolly. "Well done, Maron. You've really pissedoff now. I'll remember this grudge—just don't start bawling like a baby when you get your just deserts." His arrogant attitude left Maron's eyes flashing viciously. However, even as Maron raised his fist to punish Frank again, their eyes met, and he backed down, lowering his knuckle.
"Keep talking all you want. There's all the tfor you to regret it." Maron snorted and strode off with Elder Huxley and Elder Randel.
The Sage Lake Sect apprentices kept Frank surrounded as they entered the enclave.
Sage Lake Sect was certainly worthy of its hundred-year history.

Various stairs leading to different places branched away from the square, leading to the conclave, barracks, shrine, and dojo.
Frank was led toward the conclave, and he could hear Maron laughing even before he entered.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Lady Silverbell. | was held back tending to smundane issues concerning my apprentices—I can only ask for your understanding." As Frank strode into the conclave, Frank quickly saw Maron on the main seat, with a woman seated in the guest's chair.
Her white silky dress made it appear as if she was shrouded in mist.
