"Exactly, Mr. Bearson. You're a genius-don't compare yourself to mooks like us!" "In a few years, you'll surpass the Demon of Volsung Sect." "Ya think?" "And with Mr Bearson leading us, we will claim a place in Morhen and rise as the Fifth Family!" Even as the Favoni martial artists joked around and flattered Jaden, he snorted, taking off his blindfold and kicking away the sandbags and lead weights on his feet.
Still, he was not quite taken by the flattery.
Instead, he looked up towards the sky, determination flaring inside him.

However, Volsung Sect had always kept Ehud sheltered-no one ever heard from him, let alone saw him.
When they met two years ago, Jaden had been younger and was getting full of himself, as he could not find any worthy opponents.
As such, Ehud could well be a god amongst men when he showed up, crushing Jaden's ego after they exchanged ten blows.
But even though Ehud topped Skyrank like it was an afterthought back then, Jaden was a changed man now-he was no longer the sfrom two years ago.
And now, he yearned to have a rematch against Ehud.
"Jaden!" Just then, a tearful Chelly ran up to Jaden and threw herself in Jaden's arms, sobbing, "Daddy scolded me!" "What? Why?" Jaden always doted on his sister, and he frowned when he found her crying.
"You have to hearout..." Chelly immediately enthusiastically told Jaden everything, especially about how their sister Stella begged Frank to go easy on Jaden.

Jaden was left incensed by his sister's words.
He had never considered any of his peers his equal, save for Ehud.
In fact, he could actually almost stay content losing to Ehud, since that man was the successor of Volsung Sect.
But Frank Lawrence?! Sbrat who appeared out of nowhere?! Jaden absolutely could not care less! Even if Stessa repeatedly insisted that Frank slaughtered over thirty of their family's martial elites in an instant, he simply presumed that they had fallen for ssort of trap. Content belongs to en.swAfter all, he csecond in Skyrank-if anyone had such power, why did they not challenge him before, or Ehud? There was only one reason-that Frank must have used sdirty move.
Stella was just not able to see it and believed that Frank killed those martial elites.
But tomorrow, Jaden would see through whatever cheap trick Frank was using in their duel! And Stella would beg Frank for mercy for his sake?! Hah! Why bother?!
