The priestess then threw away the torch and gestured politely at Frank.


    Confused but undaunted, Frank strode into the picture of the dragon''s head.


    The priestess raised both hands to the skies in response, her bare feet stamping the ground repeatedly.


    Soon, the mes danced, and a fiery dragon materialized, taking to the air!


    Everyone pped, having no idea what was happening and presuming that it was a magic show.


    Only Frank knew that it was not-it was the priestess''s spell, and she was one of a kind!


    That was when the fiery dragon streaked toward Frank, and the fiery dragon dematerialized.


    The priestess, who was walking circles around Frank, stopped.


    She leaned her head to the side as she stared at Frank, visibly stumped.


    But after studying Frank for a while, she sighed in relief.


    With a wave of her hand, the mes dispersed, and the crowd cheered again.


    At the same time, the priestess ran toward the bonfire, chanting and dancing like before to bless everyone.


    Jada walked up beside Frank, asking, "What''s that all about?"


    Frank shook his head. "No idea. She probably mistook me for something evil, since she was definitely trying to destroy me."


    Jada frowned. "So why did she stop?"


    Frank smiled in wry amusement. "Who am I supposed to ask?"


    Meanwhile, the priestess was done with her ritual and started to leave, but not without shooting Frank a look.


    Raising her slender hand, she pointed at Frank, and a note materialized in his hand: [Let''s meet on the western side of this mountain in two hours.]


    Frank smiled and nodded at her before throwing the note into the fire.


    Jada shuddered and asked softly, s she protected by some evil god? You really shouldn''t go. Such ces are too strange, and you can''t afford to fall for more tricks."


    Frank smiled, shaking his head. "It''s fine. Don''t worry."


    Since there was still time, Frank returned to Jojo''s parents, drinking and eating skewers with them cheerfully.


    Despite the cheerful atmosphere, the drunkard from earlier came running back with over five guys in tow.


    "You''ve got balls, kid!" The drunkardughed. "You really didn''t run!"


    Moxxi and the others were ready to get involved, but Jada stopped them. "It''s just some average Joes-they''re beneath us. Let him have his fun."


    While Frank''s group kept their distance, the others around them who were unsure of what had


    happened thought the thugs weret


    serious. Presuming that Frank was an ordinary man, they all quickly defended him.


    "Hey, what''s happening here? Bullying one man in broad daylight when there''s that many of you?!"


    "Leave already! Don''t be a buzzkill for everyone, or you''d pay for it!"


    "Honestly, there are all sorts of them these days, getting full of themselves because they got a little drunk!"


    The drunkard was already annoyed and was now especially furious after the crowd taunted him.


    "Fuck off! This ain''t your fight! Also, care to repeat that?!''


    While the crowd was actually eager to help Frank, they would never dare to get physical against the drunkard and his friends.


    They turned silent, as they did not fancy Frank''s odds either.


    "Poor brat. How did he end up running into such brutes?"


    "Who knows. Well, he''s quite the looker, and his girlfriend is quite hot... guess that doesn''t sit well with them?"


    "Shame. That pretty girl is shit out of luck!"


    The drunkard naturally heard them and could not help puffing his chest smugly "You brat! I''ll make this easy for you let your girl spend the hight ygu- with me, and once I''m satisfied, I


    just might let you live!"


    "Dream on!"


    Unlike the rest, Jojo was an agent of justice, and it was only natural she sided


    with the people who saved her life!
