"It just happens that I have a guest from Morhen, but how do I put this? We can't afford to upset her."

Maron sighed, shaking his head dramatically as he walked circles around Frank. "She's so hot, but she's also too powerful. She'd just kill me if I try to force myself on her—that's why I need a fearless champion, and one who has nothing to do with Sage Lake Sect to take her down. But I don't mean to hurt her, I just want to incapacitate her—ideally unconscious."

"After that, leave everything to me," he finished, clapping Frank on the shoulder and patting his cheek.

"I'm counting on you, Mr. Lawrence! If you do, I'll..."

Maron trailed off as he switched gears. "Hold on, letting off a martial elite like you so easily is a waste. Let's do it this way instead—I have five hostages, but you can pick the one I release while I release each of them after you fulfill a task for me. Generous, aren't I? That's decided!"
