Frank freed Lightning Man andnded. "Tell me, have you murdered innocents?"


    Lightning Man smiled, shaking his head. "Never, and not because I''m kind, but it''s like asking who would be so bored that they''d butcher animals for fun."


    Frank snorted but nodded. "And that''s why I didn''t kill you. Now strike me with your lightning bolt."


    Lightning Man was initially taken aback.


    Presuming that Frank wanted a fair, clean fight, he eximed in delight, "I knew it! Your personality is just like mine!"


    "Cut the crap and get it done already!" Frank snapped impatiently.


    And without further ado, Lightning Man summoned a lightning bolt, directing it straight at Frank.


    Frank stood his ground whileunching another bolt straight toward the sky.


    It collided with Lightning Man''s bolt, dispelling it right then!


    "Impossible!"


    Lightning Man nched-he was already shocked that Frank could beat him, since he wasuded as being peerless, and none of the martial elites who fought Frank had ever won.


    But here, Frank was using his ultimate technique against Lightning Man himself!


    "What''s so impossible?"


    Frank chuckled just then. "The spell you''re so proud of is just that insignificant in my perspective."


    "I''ll be frank—there''s still a huge distance to cover for you to reach the peak of this world. And now, I offer you two choices: leave this ce and never show your face again, and I''ll spare your life, or die!"


    Lightning Man realized with a start-so that was why Frank wanted him to strike him once. It was to crush his ego!


    In that sense, he had lost even before the fight started. Frank was not just far stronger, but even his temperament was endlessly better.


    Regardless of how Frank viewed him, this was reality, and it was how the others he used to scorn felt.


    He felt less than livestock!


    "You''re ridiculous!"


    Lightning Man chuckled bitterly—some lessons really sank in the first time, and Frank was precisely teaching him his mistake with this.


    "You''re really not going to kill me?" Lightning Man asked tentatively.


    "You''re just annoying at best." Frank chuckled. "So why would I? Just make your choice already."


    Before this, Lightning Man would fight Frank to the bitter end.


    However, Frank''s little demonstration showed him a new path from here.


    In that case, did that not mean that he had much to live for right now?


    "Would you ept my challenge if I seed and challenge you again?" he asked.


    Frank nodded, smirking. "If I have the time. But if I do, I won''t say no."


    With Frank''s assurance, Lightning Man


    Fran


    d his head respect


    at


    "I haven''t deferred to many in this life, but you''re one of them."


    Frank smiled but said nothing.


    However, Lightning Man did not leave, and instead stopped to ask, "By the way, I have a question... Have you somehow messed with the wrong people?"


    "What''s that supposed to mean?" Jouri was perplexed, but Frank did not even react.


    "To be honest, I didn''t know you existed until five days ago."


    Lightning Man said, "I was training


    on a snowy mountain when


    someone came to me, saying he knows a powerful man named Lugh Frankton. He told me your address and some of your aplishments, sof came thinking I should challenge you!"
