Everyone in the villa was stunned by the voice.

Even before they could react, the door was sent flying with a loud bang and crashing straight down before the couch where they sat.

The door, which would take several men to pry open, had a particularly clear shoe print on it too. Quinn's expression cooled, while Burt promptly leapt to a corner, knowing that things had gone out of hand.

"Who was that?! How dare you barge into the Salazars’ turf?!"

A group of men in black charged out, weapons in hand.

"Back off!" Quinn bellowed, seeing that they were raring for a fight.

She stopped them from encircling Frank not because she did not want him to die, but rather that they would just be wasting time since trash like them posed no threat to him.

"Hehe..." She giggled as she rose to her feet, folding her arms before her chest as if she could not see Frank striding inside menacingly. "To think that you'd come here... and I thought you'd be fleeing Riverton already.”

"Fleeing Riverton? From the likes of you?" Frank snorted.

Still, he knew from her composure that she has strong backing, though he was not worried—in fact, he was interested to see who pumped her with such confidence.

On the other hand, Quinn leveled an icy glare at Burt, who was still cowering by the wall. "I'll deal with you later!"

Burt was left perplexed, but he was not that dumb and realized what had happened soon enough. "Woman, really...?" he muttered under his breath through gritted teeth.

It was clear that Quinn was convinced he had released Frank, instead of Frank breaking out of the sage fetters himself.

She obviously trusted Sage Lake Sect's gimmicks more than Burt, and now that Frank was here, Quinn also suspected him of leading Frank here!

Burt certainly realized that she was going to kill him as she believed he had completely turned against Sage Lake Sect. It was certainly frustrating—he had been hinting to her that Frank had backing, and those were people he could not afford to mess with.

Why could she not get it?!

Still, he was a Sage Lake Sect apprentice and wanted to make a last ditch effort.

Chuckling awkwardly, he told Quinn, "I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here, Ms. Ocean. Why don't we just sit down and talk things out properly instead of staying tense? I'm sure the chief and your father wouldn't want you making enemies out of a moment of pettiness.”

He was naturally stunned as Quinn stared at him in contempt as if he were an idiot. "Impressive, Burt. I didn't think that your spine and loyalty had completely dropped off after becoming a Riverton officer for years. Don't forget who gave you this position, and how dare a fringe mongrel like you question my decision?!"

Quinn's insults were certainly out of line, and Burt glowered. "Well, since I'm just a fringe mongrel, I shall stay out of this."

"Hah! You really give yourself too much credit!" Quinn laughed coolly. "You're next once I'm done with you!"

"Are you done?" Frank asked icily as he strode forward.

His might as a Birthright rank individual was bared, his killing intent palpable as his eyes stayed glued on Quinn.

She stood, folding her arms before her chest haughtily as she gloated, "Don't think you're above the rest, Frank Lawrence. There are so many elites in Sage Lake Sect that any single one of them could crush you easily."

Frank snorted. "Really? Now I'm actually curious.”
