Ch. 791..800

The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 791-The seal was so tough that even Frank could not make it budge easily.

Still, he concluded after probing it that it was a protective seal that did not hurt the body. The only issue was that it prevented a person from charging their vigor —in fact, any form of vigor that showed up in the body would activate the seal, which would in turn be dispelled.

It appeared that Kat's journey as a martial artist had ended before it started, as the seal made it virtually impossible for her to use her vigor.

However, it begged other questions.

For one, it would take a martial artist peaking at Ascendant rank to cast such a seal, and at a great cost to the psyche.

In that case, what made Kat worth the trouble for an Ascendant rank going that far to cast that seal?

And if the seal proved unstable, it would consume the host in a split second, making it a severe risk.

Could Kat's birth involve some major players who were at least peak Ascendant rank?

Even across all of Draconia, Ascendant ranks were a rarity, and peak Ascendant rank even more so.

That was when Kat saw the weird look on Frank's face and quickly asked.

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No." Frank came to his senses.

Either way, it seemed that someone was deliberately stopping Kat from becoming a martial artist.

In a way, she would be kept safe from other martial artists, but that also meant that any ordinary thug could hurt her, and she would not be able to defend herself—just like an ordinary person. At best, the seal could improve physical agility and regeneration.

That was when Frank remembered how quick Nash was when he leapt to action, and also what Frida told him over the phone.

Clearly, Nash was more than what he seemed.

With that in mind, Frank wrote down a simple instruction on the Five-Peat Archaeus and passed it to Kat. "Take this. Follow these instructions to start your training—I won't be offering to guide you. If you can hone your vigor, that means you stand a chance, and you can contact me again at that."

"No problem!" Kat exclaimed in delight, almost hopping on Frank's bed.

Taking the paper, she happily ran back to her room.

"Interesting…" Frank watched her go, smiling faintly.

If some martial elite was intent on stopping Kat from becoming a martial artist, what Frank just did was offering Kat a chance—should she succeed in using that novice technique to hone her vigor despite the seal, Frank had to admit that the girl was worth training.

Moreover, the seal in Kat's body was exceedingly rare, and Frank himself only learned of it by chance in one of the ancient texts in the Mystic Sky Sect's archives.

The seal was usually casted by a martial elite related to the host to protect a less talented progeny, and at great costs to said martial elite. The seal was capable of absorbing any vigor and pure vigor around the host, so hostile martial artists were effectively powerless around them, even no different from a normal person.

Naturally, the seal had limits—it would not work against a martial elite who completed Ascendant rank. Moreover, the first burst of vigor the host would hone would be nullified even if they managed to beat the seal.

"Did Nash cast that seal?" Frank mused, but he soon abandoned the idea.

Though Nash might appear to be a martial artist hiding his potential, he was at best an initiate and far from reaching Ascendant rank.

"Interesting…"

The skies were just brightening when Frank received a call from Hux.

He could not resist a chuckle when he saw the number—it seemed that Hux was quite enthusiastic about taking the shot of becoming the boss of the Sunblazers.

"Hello, Mr. Lawrence? Are you up yet?"

Frank sat up and asked bluntly, "Have you spoken to your boss?"

"Yes, Mr. Lawrence." Hux chuckled awkwardly. "He would like to see you—you can talk to him about whatever you have in mind."

"Where?" Frank asked bluntly again.

The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 791

The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 792-"Where?" Frank asked bluntly.

"Sunblaze Dojo. It's in South Morhen," Hux replied.

"Alright. Wait for me there."

"By the way, Mr. Lawrence…" Hux stopped him before he could hang up. "You have to watch out. My boss is really not pleased about this."

"Got it."

With that, Frank quickly washed up and headed outside, hailing a cap that took him straight to Sunblaze Dojo.

He was not actually surprised that the Sunblazers' boss was upset about the arrangement—why would he give up so easily on a position he had fought so hard to claim?

If anything, the invitation to the Sunblaze Dojo was an obvious trap, as the name of the dojo already suggested that it was Sunblazer turf and dojos were a place where blood was shed.

• When Frank arrived over ten minutes later, Hux was on hand with a group of men to receive him.

He was smiling apologetically and sporting dark circles under his eyes. "Be careful, Mr. Lawrence. The boss has summoned the Four Kings and every elite fighter in the gang."

Frank could not help laughing at Hux's serious look. "You're really eager to take over, huh?"

"Ahem. Well, I'm counting on you, sir." Hux nodded.

He was determined—instead of staying stuck as underboss for the rest of his criminal career, why not make a gambit while Frank was here to help?

Who knew if they just might succeed?

"Have you gone inside earlier?" Frank asked.

"Nope. We've been waiting," Hux replied.

With that, Frank strode in the dojo with Hux in tow and followed by other midlevel enforcers.

To no surprise, the entire place was congested. Every single person present was obviously a Sunblazer, their physique robust and they all had their mean faces on.

Many of them also carried exuberant vigors and were clearly martial artists.

Naturally, the vibes in the room were exceedingly tense with everyone glaring so icily. Anyone with a weaker mind would definitely have collapsed, their knees giving way.

Frank, however, was actually in the mood to joke with Hux. "It seems that they're ready to get violent if anyone rubs them the wrong way!"

Even Hux was left feeling a chill running down his spine when he saw the amount of people inside.

Clap, clap, clap…

A short, plump man with a large belly, holding a cigar between his fingers and wearing a pinstripe suit, strode out from the crowd just then.

He was escorted by four Birthright rank bodyguards and clapped while he walked toward Frank and the others.

It was obvious that he was Pax Barzini, the boss of the Sunblazers.

"Welcome, welcome!And here I wondered how you got the balls to challenge me." He grinned before turning to Frank with a look of scorn. "Is that your man?"

At that point, Hux somehow felt his fear feeding.

Striding forward to stand at Frank's side, he barked, "Your time as boss has ended, Pax! It's time you step down—this man will be my champion. Not even your Four Kings can best him!"

Pax reared his head and laughed, while the various enforcers snapped at Hux in turn.

"Screw you, Hux Darman!"

"Insolence! Ingrate!"

The elite Sunblazer enforcers were snapping at Hux at his words. He was clearly belittling them, demanding that Pax step down when they were all right there with him.

Talk about suicidal!

"You've really grown a pair!" Pax smiled in turn. "But you of all people should know how many rivals and obstacles I've removed just to reach where I am today. Forget rebelling—you're demanding my seat? Does that brat over there give you that much confidence!"

"Yes!" Hux bellowed, taking another step forward while glancing at Frank. "Mr.

Lawrence said he will help me take over. If anyone has anything to say about that, come forward!

The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 793-Heh…"

Pax glanced at Frank, flashing a smile that did not reach his eyes. "When did the succession of leadership for us Sunblazers become a decision made by some outsider? Do you take me for some pushover who'd cave just because someone said so?!"

His tone then changed sinister even as he kept both eyes on Frank. "I have no problems with you challenging me, Hux, but are you prepared for the consequences?!"

Hux's cheeks twitched at Pax's threat, but he soon noticed Frank nodded at him.

Taking another step forward, he bellowed confidently, "Of course I am! And you should be prepared for what happens after you step down too, Pax!"

"Hah! You don't have to worry about that, because you're definitely losing!"

Pax sneered.

His confidence came from the Four Kings, each of whom were martial elites trained since childhood, and each Birthright rank boasting godly abilities.

It was no exaggeration to say that they could handle over a hundred men at once, but that was not the worst thing about them—they also had a combat ward they could cast in tandem.

Once they used it, their strength and abilities would be boosted infinitely, with even martial elites who have completed Birthright rank having a hard time against them.

Those beneath? They were in for a beatdown.

As such, Pax was dead sure that they were overkill against Frank.

Leveling a proud look at Frank, Pax chuckled, "How about that, kid? Are you confident you can handle the Four Kings?"

Frank glanced at the four men behind Pax and sneered as he shook his head.

"Chicken feed."

"What?!"

"You've done it now, brat!"

Frank's tone of contempt sent the Four Kings flying into a rage, and they strode up, ready to straighten him out.

"Wait." Pax stopped them, chuckling as he had an idea. "I've changed my mind, kid—I like your attitude. So, I'll spare your life even if you lose, but you have to stay and serve as a Sunblazer. How about that?"

Whatever you say." Frank shrugged nonchalantly, knowing that he was not going to lose.

"Good! I like that attitude in a young man." Pax smiled. "Bring in the table, boys!

We're signing a Release of Liability!"

"Yes, Mr. Barzini!"

Soon, a table was placed in the center of the dojo, and a white sheet placed on top of it.

"If you could please." One of the Sunblazer goons approached Frank with a hostile glare, gesturing for him to sign the release agreement.

It was certainly an orthodox dojo—measures were in place to deny liability if someone got killed, and that agreement was one of them.

"Hmph."

Frank did not hesitate to sign the name Vicky Lawrence.

Still, just as the vibes between both parties tensed, a young man dressed in white slowly strode in through the front doors of the dojo. He had several curiously good-looking male valets escorting him, their hairs trimmed in varying length.

They constantly hovered around the young man, which made the scene a little weird.

"I heard someone's challenging your leadership?" the young man asked Pax just then. "Who is it?"

"Ned Janko?!" Hux's face turned ashen right then.

"What? What's going on?" Frank turned to Hux, puzzled by his reaction.

The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 794-"What? What's going on?" Frank turned to Hux, puzzled by his reaction.

Hux leaned in to whisper under his breath, "That's Ned Janko. He's Pax Darman's benefactor."

Frank raised a brow. "Is the Janko family really that impressive?"

Hux made a weary look at his question. "Well, Ned's family is next to the Four Families of Morhen in importance, and Ned himself is second-in-line to inherit leadership of the family. Moreover, the Jankos have recently attempted to claim the vacant seat among the Four Families, following the decline of the Lawrence family."

"Oh, I see…" Frank rubbed his chin in realization.

That was when Pax, catching both Frank and Hux off guard, hurried to Ned's side with the Four Kings.

"Hoho…" He chuckled. "I'm awash with gratitude, Mr. Janko… To think that you'd come personally!"

As he spoke, Pax glanced sideways at Hux and smiled smugly when he saw Hux's face turn pale.

After all, no one would ever dare tell Pax to step down when Ned was around!

"Haha… I merely heard about it and decided to come check things out since I wasn't busy," Ned said and turned to Hux in surprise. "Oh, so you're so challenging Pax?"

"Mr. Janko." Hux promptly bowed, not daring to be rude.

"And you." Ned then turned to Frank, raising a brow in surprise.

Somehow, his reaction left Frank uncomfortable, and he found the pretty boy valets hovering around Ned especially distasteful.

Hux then introduced Frank. "This is Vicky Lawrence. He's a martial elite whom I've recently recruited, Mr. Janko."

"Vicky Lawrence?" Ned did a double take before leveling a meaningful smile at Frank. "Such a charming name."

He then turned to Pax. "Try to have your boys be gentle. I like his face—I'd like to get to know him better after."

"Who's asking?" Frank bellowed, not holding back at all.

He could get sick from the man's exaggerated flamboyance!

"Insolence! Watch your manners—this is Mr. Janko you're talking to!" Pax bellowed right then.

"Oh, it's nothing." Ned waved him off with a charming smile. "Kid, I must warn you—Mr. Barzini is more than what he seems. It's fine if you want to test yourself, but you don't have to go as far as to provoke the entire gang.

Apologize, and I'm sure Mr. Barazini would find some goodness in his heart to forgive you."

"Thanks for the tip," Frank growled coolly, not interested in wasting his breath.

"But I'm here, and I signed the release of liability. I have no reason to back out now."

"Oh, you have balls. I like that." Ned smiled. "Being confident is good, but you should know that there's always a bigger fish—pride goes before the fall, y'know?"

"Thanks for the advice," Frank replied, but he remained where he was and showed no hint of backing out.

Ned sighed softly in turn. "Well, whatever. Since you're so determined, I'm sure there's no point in me saying more, so I won't."

"Oh, Mr. Janko, no words ever cure ignorance. You'd be wasting your breath with that insolent child."

"Exactly. He'll be sobbing when they beat him into a cripple."

"As one would say… He doesn't know when to give up."

The pretty boy valets around Ned started to joke among themselves, convinced that Frank was a brute who did not stop to regret until he got hurt, though it would be too late for him at that point.
