The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Frank thought about his options but eventually decided to just play along that was the only way to uncover Hector's real goal.

"I'll take the box," he said. "But I won't show mercy if you're going to play some trick on me."

"Then I thank you on behalf of all the major sects," Hector said, bowing at him again.

That was when all the windows around shattered as thirtyish black-clad men leap inside. All of them unsheathed identical sabers, looking menacing as they stood there.

Hector was not afraid, even laughing coolly, "I'm surprised... You're all really eager to die! Our informant is right-you are all a bunch of mindless fools."

"No, we're surprised that KPI would come on our turf." A short man strode up, smirking in turn. "How did you get the balls to, presuming that we're pushovers?"

"This, of course!"

Hector flashed his emerald, which flashed in green radiance that illuminated the entire room.

However, before it really activated, Frank's ring flashed as well, rendering the emerald dull in an instant.

Everyone flinched in surprise, with Hector staring blankly at Frank in disbelief.noveldrama

"Impossible..." he murmured. "The ring is definitely stronger, but it shouldn't overpower my emerald to this extent!"

Frank shrugged, as he did not understand why this was happening either.

Jouri tried to reason nheless. "It's most definitely because their energies were impure, which was why the emerald had worked before. But with the true origin of the energy now here with us, it's perfectly reasonable that the emerald wouldn't win against the real article in a real tug of war." On the other hand, the black-clad men were as surprised as they were delighted.

They had felt their strength fading when the eerie light shone earlier and thought it was the end for them, only for someone else to end up helping them, restoring their energy!

The short man beckoned at Hector provokingly. "You were quite cocky earlier, geezer. Go on, don't let it stop! Show us a good time!" Hector could only stand there stiffly, unable to say a word he did not expect to fall off his horse even before the battle began!

"In that case, I surrender." He sighed. "Just don't hurt the innocents."

"Innocent?"

The short man snorted. "Can anyone here really be innocent? Even if that bitch over there is a looker, we're not about to spare her."

As he strode up, ready to attack, Frank stepped between them. "I don't get it. Who gave you the balls to bark in front of me when you're that weak?"

The short man was taken aback but soon laughed along with his friends.

"What the hell are you talking about, brat? I missed it!"

"He said we're too weak."

"Weak?! Hahaha! Let me show you who's really weak here!"

The short man's temper flared, and he viciously swung his blade at Frank.

He did not expect Frank to move like a phantom or for his vicious kick to knock him into the wall, and he died after a cough.

Hector frowned-he was well aware

that any person whom the ring

acknowledged would be special, but this was still the first time he had

ever met someone as strong as Frank.

In contrast, the mutants were

basically modified people. Even ifet

most martial artists were helpless against them, they were at Frank's mercy like mere chicks.

"Swamp him! Don't fight him alone-he's too powerful for that!" a woman shouted, and the rest promptly encircled Frank and attacked.

They managed to fight him evenly for an instant... and that instant was how long it lasted.

Seizing an opening, Frank was

et

suddenly in front of the woman and punched her to the ground, breaking the combat ward before moving on to dispatch the rest.
