Ch. 1341..1350
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1341-While the crowd was still left shocked by Jaden's defeat, his raging below left them silent again.
"What? Jaden was poisoned?"
"No way… When?"
"So that brat really is a cheater, poisoning Mr. Favoni while we weren't watching!"
However, Frank seemed to expect the audience's outrage and simply shrugged at Jaden and smiled. "Don't try to slander me now. I really don't need poison to beat you."
"Bullshit!" Jaden bellowed furiously. "How else would you know I'd be beaten even before the fight?!"
Then, as his agitation overwhelmed his nerves and with the poison kicking in as well, he coughed another pool of black blood and passed out.
"Jaden!"
Chelly leapt on stage right then, shaking Jaden while snapping at Frank, "I knew it! You're a cheater, poisoning my brother!"
"How dare you, Frank Lawrence!" Troy Bearson shouted below stage before Frank could argue, pointing at Frank and snapping, "Poisoning the heir of the Favoni family? The Bearsons will not let this rest!" With Troy taking the lead, the rest of the crowd erupted into a mob outrage.
"That's right! How dare you pull such a dirty move on Mr. Favoni!"
"Talk about a disgrace to martial artists. The Favonis were right about him."
"Heh, and Gene Pearce even bet on him? He must be involved too."
"To think the richest man on the east coast is in league with such a vile spawnling. How disappointing."
Even as everyone criticized Frank and Gene with him, even Walter became collateral for betting on Frank earlier.
From the crowd's perspective, they were all working together to poison Jaden and make a fortune with their rigged bets when Frank beat Jaden.
"Hmph. The East Coast has no place for such loathsome people!"
"Exactly! Poisoning Jaden Favoni?! There's no bottom too low for them!"
"I'm calling my family right now. We're severing our partnership contract with Lanecorp!"
A gleeful smile showed on Troy's face as various bigwigs were yelling at Frank in outrage.
However, when he turned to see how Frank was reacting, there was none of the panic or rage he expected.
Instead, Frank was clearly smirking at Troy himself!
Troy did a double take, his conscience eating him just then.
He was well aware of how powerful Frank was and really would not dare push Frank too far.
After all, if Frank really charged at him right now, ready to kill, there was no telling if Kilian would actually stop him, even if he was sitting right beside him.
Still, considering that Frank's reputation had already hit the dirt, he was a lot less afraid.
If Frank attacked Troy now, the man would only be provoking public outrage. At that point, forget Zamri there was no place for Frank on the East Coast, and he and Lanecorp were going down!
"Frank Lawrence, what happened here?!"
Just then, Stella came running out from the backstage.
She certainly did not believe that Frank would poison her brother while everyone watched. It was simply unnecessary and no different from slapping himself in the face!
Glancing at Stella, Frank said earnestly, "Someone poisoned your brother, and it's a poison that only' takes effect after a precise period of time. In other words, someone is trying to scapegoat me and incite a war between your family and myself.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1343-For Chelly, it was a humiliation worse than death!
Being already raised in an ivory tower and spoiled by her father and siblings, her family's influence only further encouraged her to treat everyone else as if they were beneath her.
She also earnestly believed that her brother Jaden was invincible, and that the Favonis would eventually rise as the Fifth Family in Morhen, even rising as the undisputed rulers of Draconia! As such, she was crumbling inwardly from sheer humiliation, seeing her own sister kowtowing to some unknown man who poisoned her brother in public!
"Y-You traitor! Traitor!"
Suddenly not remembering every moment her sister protected her, Chelly branded her own sister a traitor.
Raising her palm, she aimed her strike at Stella even as she remained kneeling on the floor, ready to kill!
"I will protect our family's honor! Die, traitor!"
Stella remained on the floor even as she watched Chelly's strike approached, but she did not dodge.
Her gaze was determined-she was ready to die as she understood Frank. She could not change anything because words were cheap, and dying to her own sister was ideal at this point. "Fool!" Frank snorted, and knocked Chelly away with a burst of pure vigor, saving Stella right then.
"Chelly!" Stella cried when she opened her eyes again, her heart torn when she saw her sister coughing blood.
"Traitor…" Chelly muttered even as her consciousness slipped, not knowing that her sister had done everything to save her.
Meanwhile, the crowd around them saw everything. However, while Frank was really stopping Chelly from attacking Stella, in their eyes, Frank was attacking Chelly instead.
As such, they only felt even more contempt for Frank-not only did he poison Jaden, but he also attacked his sister?!
"Scumbag! Get out of Zamri already!"
"Leave the East Coast now!"
"I hope it hurts a lot when you die!"
The crowd began pelting Frank with everything-bottles, fruits, and even menstrual pads.
They were obviously convinced that Frank was cheating, and showed no senses of honor.
He must be lusting after Jaden's sister for her pretty face too, which was why he attacked her! "That's enough!"
Frank bellowed, glowering at the crowd around him. "Did any of you ever see me poison Jaden?!"
"Hah! Jaden himself said it, and you're still trying to argue?!"
calmly incited the hatefulTrovet against him, not worried about causing more trouble.
"That's right! You're a cheater and a loser!"
"You must have poisoned Jaden when we weren't looking!"
"You don't care what you did, as long as you get famous and get yourself into Skyrank!"
"Lusting after the man's sisters too… How despicable!"
Troy looked around himself and could see that the ones who were condemning Frank the worst were his hired provocateurs.
Incited, now everyone in Zamri Square was condemning Frank vocally.
"You-"
Just as Frank furiously tried to argue, be suddenly coughed a mouthful of black blood just wool.net Jaden did and dropped to one knee!
"Frank!" Walter Turnbull yelled.
He had remained ashen faced and was
Feng for Frank to turn t t cried out anxious teet appeared to be poisoned too!
Frank ?! Quick! Call in our boys-stop this madness!"
Gene panicked when he saw Frank turn pale and start to wobble, and he sent in his people to help. "What?
What just happened?" Troy was actually shocked and turned toward Kilian in confusion. Kilian appeared nonplussed as well but was suddenly chuckling coolly after some thought.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1342-Glancing at Stella, Frank said earnestly, "Someone poisoned your brother, and it's a poison that only takes effect after a precise period of time. In other words, someone is trying to scapegoat me and incite a war between your family and myself."
Stella, seeing Frank's vague smile and the way he was staring at Troy, turned toward Troy too.
She realized right then that Troy must have planned all this!
She was already suspicious when Troy was on hand to receive them at the airport, and that premonition came true!
"You're lying!"
That was when a tearful Chelly shrieked hysterically at Frank, "You poisoned my brother, and you're still dressing it up with pretty words?! You're lower than scum! I'm telling my dad about this, and he'll bring all his men to kill you and everyone around you!"
"Calm down, Chelly!"
Stella ran up, intent on stopping Chelly's irrational ravings-but it was already too late.
She could feel the air stirring around Frank, and his smile turned into a glare.
"What was that… you'll kill everyone around me? Care to say that again?"
Frank stepped forward once, and a strong gale abruptly unfurled away from him.
The air around the ring rustled, as if some behemoth had stirred from its slumber. The bloodlust was palpable, and both Chelly and Stella's face fell.
Stella especially was well aware that Frank was furious, and she felt a crushing sense of defeat and helplessness-the same feeling he had when he first met Frank! She was begging right then, "No… Mr. Lawrence! My sister is just upsetshe doesn't mean it!"
However, Frank seemed to ignore her as he growled, "I was going to save my strength and let bygones be bygones but you Favonis prove to be as ignorant as you are loathsome. Forget not seeing the truth, but you even had to push my buttons!"
His voice could well be the devil himself in Stella's ears, conjuring the image of death and bloodlust, leaving her shaking in fear.
Chelly was terrified too, but she remained feisty, snapping, "Don't beg, Stella-you'd be humiliating our family!
That bastard must have used some sleight of hand to poison Jaden!"
Then, shrugging free of Stella's grasp, she bellowed at Frank, "Come on, scumbag! Kill us if you can! My father will come after you for this!"
"Very well! I feel compassion for the weak, but that doesn't mean I will suffer fools!"
Frank laughed coldly, extending his palm and charging it with abundant pure vigor.
However, before he could land his blow, Stella leapt toward him m dropped to her knees in front of him as everyone watched.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
As everyone looked on in shock, the sister of Laden Favoni, second in Skyrank and the he to Norsedam's undisputed top dogs … kowtowed to their enemy so violently her forehead started to bleed freely!
Please, Mr. Lawrence! Chelly has always been stubborn and never listens. Don't stoop to getting petty with a brat like her!"
"Stella, what are you doing?!"
Chelly was dumbfounded too.
A member of their great Favoni dynasty was kowtowing to some despicable poisoner?!
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1344-Still, Kilian's chuckle soon turned into roaring, gleeful laughter. "Hahaha! I get it now!"
"What happened to him, Mr. Lionheart?" Troy asked anxiously, since Kilian was too busy laughing to answer his question.
"Hehe… The brat was trying to be smart, but he ended up screwing himself over!"
Kilian smiled even as he watched Frank wheeze. "His vigor collided with Jaden's when he blocked Jaden's blow, and the poison that was already kicking in inside Jaden's body affected him too! The poison you used is tailored against martial elites who wield pure vigor, no?"
"Yeah, exactly." Troy nodded, still at a loss.
"Well, that fits the bill." Kilian sneered viciously. "Frank did not realize that he too would be affected if Jaden's poisoned vigor reached him!"
"Hahaha! That's amazing!" Troy's eyes lit up.
He had no idea what Kilian was talking about, but he understood the last part and that was enough too.
Frank was poisoned too!
"Well, Mr. Lionheart, now's your chance to eliminate him once and for all!"
Troy urged eagerly. "We just need an excuse to kill him now!"
"Hehe. An excuse? We don't need one now."
Kilian chuckled and stepped on Troy's shoulder as he vaulted down toward Frank.
Then, as everyone watched, he barked at the top of his lungs, "Frank Lawrence, you are a disgrace to martial artists everywhere, and a menace to society! In the name of Troy Bearson, the head of the Bearson family, I will get rid of you for good, for the sake of this city and this country!"
"Huh?"
Kilian's declaration left Troy doing a double take, and he almost sprang to his feet when he realized what had just happened.
Kilian was certainly cunning, only stepping up when Frank was going to die!
The man's wit was really without comparison, but it was fine by Troy.
If anything, he was laughing too-once Frank died, Lanecorp would crumble with him, and the netNôvelDrama.Org content rights.
of Zamri would fall to Bearson Group!
That meant he successfully accomplished the mission that Volsung Sect had tasked him with, while he received plenty of goodies on the side.
And that was plenty enough.
"Bearson Group is really amazing, standing up against injustice! That's why they're comrades of the Favonis!"
"Mr. Troy Bearson is more than a CEO. He's also a man of principles, haven't you heard?"
"He will see to it that Jaden Favoni finds justice!"
"It's a major feat, ridding the city of Zmmri of such a menace!' While Bearson's hired provocateurs enthusiastically bootlicked him, Troy certainly felt buoyed as everyone gazed upon him with worshipful reverence. én.swnovels.net "Pfft…"
However, while Kilian turned serious and was ready to deal the killing blow on Frank, he snickered even as the crowd was not watching.
"Kilian Lionheart of Volsung Sect," he said, his face pale even as he remained on one knee. "It really wasn't easy luring you out."
"What?!" Kilian watched in shock as Frank slowly stood up-what was going on here?!
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1345-"It's the Soulbleeder-a specialty of Hundred Bane Sect available from the black market."
Frank looked up, his eyes flashing as he wiped the smudge of blood from the corner of his lips.
Kilian's face fell right then-how could Frank have known the name of the poison?!
It was a well-kept secret even in the black market, and hardly anyone knew of it. Even Kilian himself found out about it through Troy!
"Hehe… blargh!"
Frank smirked even as he vomited another mouthful of blood. "Are you surprised why I would know? Well, that's a question you'd have to ask a certain traitor to Hundred Bane Sect whom I had slain. He left behind a copy of the Hundred Bane Anthology, which is why nothing in Hundred Bane Sect's inventory will work against me."
"Really?"
Kilian sneaked a look around himself and smirked at Frank in turn when he sensed Frank's vigor churning chaotically in his body. "You really wouldn't be hurting that badly if it doesn't work on you." "You're right." Frank nodded. "I've been poisoned and I can't clear it away right now… but it still won't stop me from killing you!"
And with those words, Frank suddenly leapt to his feet and charged straight at Kilian!
Kilian appeared taken aback but soon laughed coldly.
"I have no idea what you're playing at, but do you really think you can beat me while poisoned?!"
With a restrained bellow, he projected his pure vigor, casting it into the shape of a body armor with a golden-red sheen.
The crowd around him was left gaping in shock-Troy actually had such a powerful champion under his command?!
"Haha! This is a secret technique of Volsung Sect-the Golden Dragon Carapace! With this, I won't fear even peak Ascendant ranks!" Kilian sneered as he watched Frank charged at him, clearly overestimating himself.
Given Frank's condition, the recoil alone would pulverize his body and kill him instantly.
Troy's eyes had lit up when he saw the majestic armor covering Kilian too.
Even he had to admit that Kilian was strong, despite being loathsome and despicable.
He chose to fight Frank only after he was poisoned-not because he did not stand a chance, but because he was that prudent.
He would take the stage, but only at the very last juncture.
"Hmph. At this rate, that loser would definitely be dead!"
"Yeah! Troy's champion is going to butcher him now!" "Justice for the people!"
The crowd roared with approval and as Frank's very mundane ach struck the golden-red.
carapace armor around and And that was when the unexpected happened.
Boom!
With a thundering crash, Kilian-who had been smirking throughout and clearly protected by his carapace armor-was screaming as he was set flying.
"What?!"
Troy was rubbing his eyes in disbelief, while his hired provocateurs turned pale as well.
What was going on here?!
They kept insisting Frank was a cheater without actual ability and et always relying on underhanded tricks, but that punch had just ttered Kilian's strongest armor!
How was that possible?!
That was Kilian Lionheart, an elder of Volsung Sect!
He had advanced well into Ascendant rank, but Frank sent him flying with a punch?! Obviously, no one watching could believe it at all.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1346-"Oof!"
Kilian was no longer laughing.
He could not feel any hint of pure vigor projecting from Frank's fist-that meant that Frank was using sheer physical strength to destroy his carapace armor, while sending him flying like a ragdoll! "I-Impossible! How could a Birthright rank do this… no, could he have improved? But this shouldn't be happening even if he did-"
Even before Kilian came to his senses, he felt a large hand seizing him by the throat, choking him.
Across his meridians, his pure vigor stalled in an instant.
It hurt terribly, but he could not direct his pure vigor to fight back even if he wanted to.
Even as the world started to spin around him, he realized he could not beat Frank in pure physical strength too, as he could not loosen Frank's vice-like grip around his neck at all!
And at that very moment, every spectator could see Frank lifting Kilian, who was flailing around like an animal but unable to free himself.
Chelly Favoni, who had just regained consciousness thanks to her sister, was left stiffening as she saw what happened.
After everything was said and done, she was still a martial artist, and she could tell that Kilian carapace armor manifested out of condensed pure vigor.
Only individuals who advanced well into Ascendant rank could manage that, but Frank's single punch shattered it.
Various expressions alternated over Chelly's face.
It was not just Kilian whom Frank had punched to his senses-it was the same for her, and after all the mockery she dished out on Frank.
She turned toward her sister, who nodded wryly, and truly realized then that Frank was superior to their brother, Jaden.
Her sister was never ating-Frank was just that powerful!
Moreover, blood was seeping out the corner of Frank's lips as he lifted Kilian into the air-he was clearly afflicted by the same poison that got Jaden, which further proved that Frank did not poison Jaden At that point, even Chelly realized the only possible culprits were the Bearsons!
"Blargh…"
Frank coughed out another mouthful of blood, but kept smiling at Kilian "You have one chance. Tell me what's this spiritron vein thing hidden beneath Zamri."
"What?! How did you know?!"
Kilian was bewildered-how could Frank have found out about that?! Only Troy and his four retainers Thunder, Bolt, Galen, and Blaze had heard about it.
But even as Frank smirked, Kilian understood-so after everything was said and done, those retainers were never killed.
They had jumped ship to Frank's side!
There was no way Frank would have found out about the Soulbleeder, let alone the spiritron vein!
Piece of shit!" Kilian's eyes could fire lasers even as he turned to glare at Troy with what strength he had.
However, Troy had absolutely no idea what Frank and Troy were discussing.
He was scowling, and terror showed in his eyes. Kilian, his trump card, had clearly lost to Frank.
Not only did he have nothing to fall back on, Frank clearly knew that he had Orchestrated this entire situation.
And when Frank was done with Kilian, he would come for him next!
Nonetheless, Kilian rasped coolly just then, won't lie to you, Frank-you're not CC going to keep the spiritron vein to yourself, even if you know what it really is, because it rightfully belongs to the Lionhearts!"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1347-"Did you think that you can stand up to the Lionhearts and Volsung Sect all on your own?!"
Kilian Lionheart rasped coolly, "Give up already! The might of Simon Lionheart rules this land, and you will rest in pieces if he personally gets involved!"
"You have ten seconds," Frank simply muttered, impassive as he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips.
However, Kilian was obviously not worried about Frank's threat and continued to persuade him, "You should be kneeling to me, Frank Lawrence! I admit you're outstanding, and I just might forgive your transgressions, even recommend a place for you in Volsung Sect!
"Volsung Sect would eventually come to rule Draconia and the rest of the world!
The path of martial arts is just the beginning… You have no idea where this path really leads! Now let me down and bow to me, and I'll tell you the greatest secret never told—"
"Time's up."
Frank shook his head in disappointment.
"What are you going to kill me, Frank?! Don't you dare! Volsung Sect will-"
Crunch!
Frank snapped Kilian's neck even before he could finish, and the man's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even as his corpse was dropped unceremoniously on the floor, he never thought that Frank would dare to kill him.
Naturally, he had underestimated Frank-if he had thoroughly investigated Frank and piece together who he really was from all the subtle clues, he would not even dream of recruiting Frank.
Frank was snorting in turn. "I will crush your pathetic Volsung Sect eventually, and you're just the second Lionheart who has fallen to me. I have no reason to keep you alive since you refused to tell me what the spiritron vein is."
After killing Kilian, he looked around.
The crowd around him was silent, staring at him in fear.
Even if they were convinced Frank defeated Jaden with poison earlier, they all saw him take down a real martial elite with his bare hands.
With that, all the skepticism about Frank crumbled, as the crowd realized that Frank was not some loathsome poisoner, but a genuine martial elite instead.
"Everyone…"
And knowing that arguing would still work against his favor, Frank searched Kilian's corpse and pulled out a letter seemingly out of nowhere.
Then, sticking to the script he rehearsed, he announced, "Everyone, this letter is written by Troy Bearson, intended for his men! It has orders to purchase the poison called Soulbleeder, which was used against myself and Jaden Felnet Troy was also the one who incited this confrontation between Lanecorp and the Favonis of Norsedam, so that he can sit back and enjoy the spoils when the dust settles."
Coughing blood again, he then continued, "Now, you have both material proof and witnesses! o m Citizens of Zamri and illustrious guests, do not be fooled by Troy Bearson-he is a wolf in sheepskin, and those men with him are provocateurs, working under his payroll!"
As Frank pointed at the men who kept inciting the crowd again to himself, the men dropped limply to the floor in fear.
Their reaction only further proved Frank's point, leaving the crowd in an uproar.
The tales were turned so quickly!
And seeing that things did not look good for him, Troy quickly led his men to turn and run.
Frank was not bothered, however-in a way, Troy had indirectly caused Kilian's death, and someone would deal with him anyway.
He continued, "As for Lanecorp and the Favonis…"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1348-Frank turned toward Chelly, who was hanging her head, and Stella, who was giving him an earnest pleading look.
Pausing, he shook his head and announced, "This entire conflict between us was incited by the Bearsons!"
With that, he left the stage even as he coughed blood, ending the high noon duel in Zamri Square with an extraordinary plot twist. The crowd was certainly dissatisfied with the mediocre ending, especially after the fight was hyped up with such pompous publicity! It was not a fight between martial elites, but a bizarre stage production.
However, said production still brought upon terrible consequences.
For the Favonis, Jaden remained unconscious, his fate unknown as his sister Stella and the others carted him back to Norsedam.
While he still retained his place as Skyrank's second, his reputation had taken a nosedive, just as many others became disappointed in the Favonis' actions.
On the other hand, Frank's reputation was skyrocketing. The Lane family gathered favorable attention thanks to that, and business boomed for Lanecorp in turn.
After all, things were getting even livelier in Zamri instead of calming down, and there were signs of impending chaos.
As for Bearson group, their reputation hit rock-bottom, with Troy and his cronies were found dead in his own mansion.
Troy's death was eventually ruled as a suicide, and the rest of the Bearson family soon fell apart.
As the key factions within Bearson Group fought among each other over whatever was left, the company eventually splintered from the conflict. With that, the Three Bears company was reduced to a second- rate business, with many other companies acquiring the remaining scraps.
As for Frank, he had been hiding in his mansion, rejecting the media keen for an interview, with the excuse of recovery and rehabilitation.
At the moment, he was lounging on the couch comfortably, bliss showing on his face as Winter massaged his shoulders.
"Frank, don't you think the Favonis would bother us again?" she suddenly asked.
"They'd know not to mess with me if they're smart," Frank replied as he ate some grapes. "But if they're not…"
Frank chuckled coolly, trailing off.
Just then, Blackie-now basically the mansion's doorman, entered and esitantly, "Mr.
someone's asking to see you.."
"I told you I'm avoiding the public's eye at the moment, didn't I?" Frank asked accusingly.
"B-But she's really beautiful…" As Blackie gestured animatedly, Frank frowned as he sat up.
"Show her in," he said after some thought.
After all, Frank was surrounded by beautiful people.
As such, this stranger whom Blackie did not recognize but whose beaut he still acknowledged meant that she was a sight to behold, belongs to FindNovel Still, Winter snorted as Frank allowed that woman in when he heard she was a beauty and stormed off grumpily.
Frank quickly called out to her, "Hey, where are you going? You haven't learn the key to this massage technique yet."
Winter pouted. "Why, so that I can third-wheel while you meet some pretty face?"
Frank smiled in wry amusement-when did she get so jealous?
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1349-Winter grumpily sat down beside Frank after he explained himself, and she folded her arms before her chest as she waited to see who the arriving beauty was. "Greetings, Mr. Lawrence."
A lady dressed primly in a conservative dress entered, greeting Frank with a brow.
Frank zoned out a little-her face was gorgeous, her mannerisms were mild and elegant, and there was a birthmark on her face that altogether made her appear picturesque.
On top of her soft appearance, no man could tear their eyes away from her pronounced cleavage.
"Wow… you're so beautiful…"
Even Winter was gaping and gasping in awe despite her jealousy earlier.
"Hehe. Thank you." The woman nodded before turning toward Frank. "Mr. Lawrence, I'm Sienna Noirot, second elder of the Hall of Flowers, a denomination of Cloudnine Sect. Having heard of your recent feats, I've come to visit and witness your splendor."
"Cloudnine Sect?"
Frank searched his mind, and quickly remembered-were they not one of the major sects in the South Sea and a supporter of the Sorano family?
Why on earth were they visiting him?
Narrowing his eyes, he asked evenly, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Ms. Noirot?"
Still, he would not deny her hospitality and gestured for her to sit.
"Hehe," Sienna smiled. "I have come to gauge your intentions, Mr. Lawrence."
"My intentions?" Frank frowned.
"Yes." Sienna nodded. "With the spiritron vein coming to prominence, chaos looms for Draconia as the status quo shifts. Every faction and family across the land will be competing to gather individuals with potential, and you are the potential I have my eyes on."
"Heh…"Frank did not refute her insight and asked in return, "If you're from Cloud nine Sect, you'd be aware of who I really am. Are you not afraid of my vendetta?"
"Of course not. That's why I'm here." Sienna giggled, "The Four Sects of the South Sea are more than what you believe them to be. Forgive me for not divulging our most well kept secret, but I can tell you this much-not everything is as they seem in Draconia. The sects, the political figures, the military, even foreign powers… everything hangs together by a threat, and it's never as simple as you'd like to think."
Frank waved her off dismissively. "So? What do I get if I join you?"
"With Cloudnine Sect vouching for you, the players behind the major factions will not have an easy time coming after you."
"And what do I have to give in return?"
Sienna simply beamed in response, and it was such an enchanting smile that Winter could not help zoning out.
"The spiritron vein."
Still, as her lips moved, parting ever so slightly without actually speaking, her lip movement revealed her intentions.
She came for the spiritron vein too?
Frank thought to himself just then-if Silverbell represented the Morhen mayor and the Martial Alliance's interest in the Spiritron Vein, then Kilian represented Volsung Sect's interests.
And Sienna was most definitely representing Cloudnine Sect too.
How much power did the spiritron vein hold over them that they would go through such lengths to acquire it?
Still, Frank did not dwell on it.
"I have no intention of joining anyone," he said quietly while gesturing for Blackie to escort Sienna outside. "I love my freedom, and I won't go out of my way to cause trouble for others if they don't mess with me."
"I understand." Sienna did not appear surprised by Frank's response.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1350-If anything, Sienna seemed to have expected that response from Frank, and she smiled. "In that case, I shall excuse myself."
"Yeah."
Frank watched as Sienna left, pensive since she reminded Frank of plenty of matters.
There were plenty of dangers lurking in Draconia, and he would have drawn considerable attention after he killed Kilian Lionheart.
And Sienna was even hinting that the major players were ready to move against him.
While Frank was not afraid, he was still worried that they would move against those around him.
Even as the thought crossed his mind, his phone started ringing.
He answered it to Kat Yego yelling, "Master Lawrence! This is terrible… My dad and Madam Zims have been kidnapped!"
"What?!"
Beside her, Winter leapt to her feet in panic, as Madam Zims was her adopted mother, Carol.
They were aware that Carol and Kat's father Nash Yego had grown close recently. One was a widow and the other a widower, and with not much of an age difference between them, it was nothing surprising. If anything, their respective daughters were keen for them to get together.
While Nash was hospitalized, Carol had visited frequently, bringing him food and helping his recovery.
Then, days after Nash was discharged, they were kidnapped!
"Calm down. Take your time!" Frank told Kat, scowling-talk about his worst fears coming true!"
"Noel York and I have been working a lot, so we tend to stay late at the office… but when I came home today, both my dad and Madam Zims were nowhere to be seen net There's also this note on the table, and there's an address to a temple in the outskirts of Zamri-they want you to go there alone."
Frank felt gloomy hearing Kat's anxious voice-both Nash and Carol were important to him, and he would never forgive himself if they got hurt.
"Kat," he told her sternly, "go back to the office with Noel, and stay out of this. I'm going to the temple right now!"
"Frank!"
Beside Frank, Winter's eyes were welling up with tears.
"Stay put, Winter. You'll be safe with the security team here-just wait for me to come back!"
"Yeah." Winter nodded tamely.
She would follow Frank given the urgent ness of the situation, but she soon remembered that she was no martial artist, and she would just be a burden for Frank.
Hence, she kept her anxiety bottled and watched as Frank drove off.
On the way to the temple, Frank got a call from Helen.
"We found the spiritron vein!" she exclaimed in excitement.
However, that only left Frank's heart sinking-the timing of the discovery was simply terrible.
"Helen!" he barked right then. "Take the spiritron vein, and get someplace safe with Vicky now! Don't 't fet anyone else see it, understand? I'm busy right now, but I'll be right over when I'm done!"
"Okay!" Helen agreed to it briskly.
And right after she hung up, Helen got a call from her mother Gina Zonda…
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1350-If anything, Sienna seemed to have expected that response from Frank, and she smiled. "In that case, I shall excuse myself."
"Yeah."
Frank watched as Sienna left, pensive since she reminded Frank of plenty of matters.
There were plenty of dangers lurking in Draconia, and he would have drawn considerable attention after he killed Kilian Lionheart.
And Sienna was even hinting that the major players were ready to move against him.
While Frank was not afraid, he was still worried that they would move against those around him.
Even as the thought crossed his mind, his phone started ringing.
He answered it to Kat Yego yelling, "Master Lawrence! This is terrible… My dad and Madam Zims have been kidnapped!"
"What?!"
Beside her, Winter leapt to her feet in panic, as Madam Zims was her adopted mother, Carol.
They were aware that Carol and Kat's father Nash Yego had grown close recently. One was a widow and the other a widower, and with not much of an age difference between them, it was nothing surprising. If anything, their respective daughters were keen for them to get together.
While Nash was hospitalized, Carol had visited frequently, bringing him food and helping his recovery.
Then, days after Nash was discharged, they were kidnapped!
"Calm down. Take your time!" Frank told Kat, scowling-talk about his worst fears coming true!"
"Noel York and I have been working a lot, so we tend to stay late at the office… but when I came home today, both my dad and Madam Zims were nowhere to be seen net There's also this note on the table, and there's an address to a temple in the outskirts of Zamri-they want you to go there alone."
Frank felt gloomy hearing Kat's anxious voice-both Nash and Carol were important to him, and he would never forgive himself if they got hurt.
"Kat," he told her sternly, "go back to the office with Noel, and stay out of this. I'm going to the temple right now!"

Hence, she kept her anxiety bottled and watched as Frank drove off.
On the way to the temple, Frank got a call from Helen.
"We found the spiritron vein!" she exclaimed in excitement.
However, that only left Frank's heart sinking-the timing of the discovery was simply terrible.
"Helen!" he barked right then. "Take the spiritron vein, and get someplace safe with Vicky now! Don't 't fet anyone else see it, understand? I'm busy right now, but I'll be right over when I'm done!"
"Okay!" Helen agreed to it briskly.
And right after she hung up, Helen got a call from her mother Gina Zonda…
