However, Frank was already prepared.
He silently sent a tremor of the same frequency down under, nullifying the white-clad geezer's tremor with ease.
Hence, before anyone realized what had happened, the white-clad geezer already realized that he would not win against Frank!
Unlike her niece, the white-clad geezer had been traveling all his life. He understood that while earthbending was amazing, it was hardly invincible.
A technique was just a technique, and nothing more. It came with its deficiencies, depending on the way it was wielded, and prodigies were completely on a different level compared to them—in fact, the white-clad geezer was recently beaten by another youth.
Even if it rarely happened in a small town like Shagan, it happened all the time among martial artists and the like.
Youth surpassed all—was there any martial artist worth their salt who did not understand that the kids would eventually surpass them?
"Let's go!"
Without hesitation, the white-clad geezer was ready to leave and make himself scarce.
"What?! Aren't you going to take revenge against that brat, sir?!"
"We trusted you, only for you to turn tail and flee?! How nice of you!"
However, it went without saying that his entourage was livid.
And here they thought the white-clad geezer could at least salvage their dignity or even claim revenge. They just did not expect him to be a coward, ready to run after exchanging just one blow against Frank!
The white-clad geezer was left even more exasperated than they were—these spoiled brats really had no idea who they had just messed with!
"Leave with me, or you'll be disavowed!" he barked.
It was a clear threat that he was convinced could bring his entourage around.
He could feel the flaring murderous glare from behind, and from none other than the man who had nothing going for him but his looks.
Still, the white-clad geezer threatened Frank right then, "Let's stop this before things get out of hand, brat! Those kids are just running their mouths anyway, but if you press your luck, you'll die horribly when I go all out!"
However, he was plenty aware that he was not getting away. He was hence pinning his hopes on intimidating Frank into fleeing, but he did not take into account that Frank would not lose to that!
In fact, Frank had no idea why he would do that at all. "So you're saying that your power is beyond comprehension and I have no chance in hell? Then why were you running?"
Seeing that his bluff failed, the white-clad geezer promptly hatched another plan.
"We're all in this business," he reasoned, "so we'll definitely see each other again. Moreover, it's effortless for you to hold back so that things won't get out of hand!"
Frank laughed at the white-clad geezer's words. "Who would want to see you again? See, I don't care for people like you. Now kill yourself, or if I had to do it, you'd come to understand the true meaning of violence."
