Chapter 1673
"Get out of my way!"
Kairo shoved Horey aside, ripping open his shirt to reveal his muscular chest. He marched toward Frank, his face twisted with rage.
"I don't care where you're from or if you've bribed Kornac's Keep to conspire against me. I won't let you off easily today!"
Before Frank could respond, the crowd erupted into murmurs.
"Kairo, you lost fair and square. Are you trying to weasel out now?"
"Yeah, we all saw what happened!"
"We saw how you tried to trip him up. Are you seriously still trying to say that the situation was unfair to you?"
"I thought he had some skill, but his character is laughable."
"Look at Frank. He's calm and composed despite the harassment..."
"I was wrong. The real shameless clown here is Kairo. Frank is the one with true dignity..."
The crowd's chatter only fueled Kairo's fury. He could not hear their words, for he was consumed by his refusal to accept defeat. If he lost, he would have to kneel before Frank and lick his shoes.
How could a noble apprentice of Cloudnine Sect do something like that?!
Losing would mean the end of everything he held dear.
The sect would not want such a humiliating apprentice, and neither would his master respect him anymore. He would even lose any hope of winning Horey's affection.
His entire world would crumble!
That was why Kairo was driven to madness. Even if it meant throwing away his dignity today, he would not admit the fact that he had failed.
"Hmph... what's this? Dropping all pretenses? Can't admit you've lost, so now you want to fight?"
As Kairo stormed toward him, Frank remained calm. There was a slight smirk of disdain on his lips.
It was that expression again!
Kairo was about to lose his mind.
Because whenever Frank faced him, it was always with that same expression-a look of utter disdain that made it clear that he did not even consider Kairo worth his time.
"Stop lying!"
Kairo knew he was grasping at straws, but he needed to blur the truth.
He bellowed, "You and these old schemers at Kornac's Keep had planned this from the start! You knew my junior and I were coming here totrain, and you set this trap to target us and Cloudnine Sect

"You brat! You and your Kornac's Keep allies will pay for this! Cloudnine Sect will not let you off easily!"
"What?!" Yosil was nearly apoplectic at Kairo's baseless accusations. Only the quick support of a Kornac's Keep apprentice kept him from collapsing. "Kairo, you... you're spouting nonsense! Such disrespect!
"You've been outdone, and now you're showing how petty you are! Accusing Kornac's Keep of such a scheme what are you thinking?!"
Yosil was not the only one. Even the other elders of Kornac's Keep glared at Kairo with anger.
The harsh reality was that Kornac's Keep was only a small sect nestled in the deep mountains of Norsedam They could not hope to match the power of Cloudnine Sect. Despite their outrage, they lacked the confidence to truly confront Kairo or Cloudnine Sect head-on.
Still, facing Kairo's outrageous claims left them furious and helpless, with Yosil on the verge of passing out from sheer anger. "What am I thinking?"
