The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Thunder, who was the boss among the four, nodded after hearing the report. "Good work. We'd still need to check-Frank Lawrence is strong, and he might really make it out." "Don't worry, boss. Even if he survived, the shockwave would have neutralized him."

Galen was calmer in comparison. "Blaze and I will stay here to check for a body."

"Good." Thunder nodded-that was the only way to be sure. "Bolt, how's the explosives going?!"

"Shit, boss! I've been made!" Bolt was wheezing, and clearly running even as he shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"You've been made?! Where?! I'll extract you!"

"The fountain downstairs of Lanecorp... this freaky woman keeps chasing me, and I can't shake her off!"

"Freaky woman?!" Thunder did a double take.

His quartet were all Birthright rank individuals-in fact, Thunder himself had just completed Birthright rank.

But to chase one of them that far, even terrorizing Bolt enough to make him scream 'freaky', that woman had to be something else.

"If you're chased, that means the explosives-"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

"She found me even before I planted them!" Bolt yelled in frustration. "She's dressed in all white, and she seemed to see through me right away, demanding I hand over the explosives."

"Just calm down. I'm coming for you," Thunder replied as he rappelled down the skyscraper.

However, he was just halfway down when he heard screams over his walkie-talkie.

"What?!"

He turned pale in shock and held the walkie-talkie with one hand and the rope w the other as he barked,

"What's going on over there, Galen?! Galen?! Answer me!"

Galen did not answer, however, as it was another quiet voice that spoke instead "So you're their boss? Would you mind telling me what you're up to? Payback for Ivor Bearson, perhaps?"

Thunder flinched at the voice, but he realized that things bode ill for Galen and Blaze when he heard Frank's voice.

He simply could not understand.

Even Ascendant ranks could not remain unscathed from such an explosion. Moreover, even if they did, they would be maimed, and Galen and Blaze would easily take him down.

As such, how did Frank escape under such circumstances, even turning the tables against his men in half a minute, taking their walkie-talkie?!

"How did you escape!?" Thunder exclaimed, losing composure right then.

He was actually curious how Frank survived because he just could not understand and even forgot about his situation.

To his surprise, Frank snorted and asked in return, "Escape? Why should I? Is there a reason I should?"

"What?!"

Frank's response left Thunder dumbstruck, still holding his walkie-talkie even as his feet touched ground.

He knew better than anyone that his quartet's assassination techniques-no one would be quick enough to respond in time and get out of the way.

That was the case even for Ascendant ranks-even Ciril Janko, a peak Ascendant rank, would get hit and be maimed in turn.

In fact, Thunder's quartet had worked together to assassinate an Ascendant rank in the exact same way.
