Ch. 991..1000
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 991-In around ten minutes, Frank found himself staring at a gigantic luxury mansion with over seven luxury cars lining the courtyard. Each of them were limited editions that would invoke considerable envy if seen in public-from the looks of it, they were Willy's very own collection.
He then alighted without further harassing the cowardly Sorano bodyguard. He had a bone to pick with someone else, and he only killed before in rage and to establish himself.
Now that he had found Willy's mansion, he had no reason to do it-he never liked killing and was always tolerant toward those who knew their place.
"Go." He waved off the cowardly Sorano bodyguard.
The cowardly Sorano bodyguard actually thought he was going to die and was delighted that Frank did not kill him.
After all, nothing could be more delightful than cheating death, and he even thanked Frank profusely, even though he was an intruder who barged into Sorano Estate.
Frank was left shaking his head in bemusement-the standard of bodyguards around here was really lacking.
Naturally, it was not their fault either. None of them could have known that someone would charge alone into Sorano Estate, which was why even the retainers had trouble reacting right away.
"Hmph…" Frank snorted just then, as he heard the euphoric voices of men and women upstairs.
His rage flared further even as he kicked down the door-Willy had left Nash crippled and almost dead but continued to indulge in his usual vices like nothing.
A scumbag through and through! As Frank headed upstairs, several servants could see danger when they spotted Frank, especially the specks of blood on him. "What are you doing here?!" "Fuck off!" Frank did not waste time, kicking away several of the servants who stood in his way. "Kyah-!!!" et A maid shrieked deafeningly and dropped the tray she was holding just as Frank slapped and knocked out @manservant who leapt op at him, ready to attack. S "What's going on?! Who keeps yapping there?!" Willy shouted from the room angrily. "I was just starting to have fun-do you wantto skin you?!" swn "Shush." Frank sneered as he put a finger on his lips, gesturing for the maid to be silent.
Then, he kicked open the door to Willy's room.
"What?!" Willy was buck naked in bed, his eyes widening when he saw a stoic Frank strode in.
"Frank Lawrence?! How did you get in here?!" he exclaimed, quickly wrapping a towel around himself in panic and confusion.
"Kyah!!!" The woman in the bed scretoo-not stopping to ot W dressed, she picked up a bathrobe and ran past Frank out of the room.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 992-Willy laughed. "The fact that you showed up here means—"
Smack!
Frank said nothing as he slapped Willy resoundingly across the face, leaving him stunned.
Seizing Willy by the neck, his eyes flashed murderously as he bellowed, "I asked you a question, so answer it!"
Willy could barely keep up—he touched his face and felt the sting, finally realizing it was no dream.
His face contorted with rage and humiliation as he looked up and glared at Frank. "Y-You hit me?! In my house?! Do you know what you're doing?!"
Smack!
"I told you to answer my question!" Frank bellowed as he slapped him again, leaving Willy seeing stars as his lips bled.
It actually took Willy seconds to recover.
"Frank Lawrence, you—"
"Answer my question!"
Seeing Frank's fury, Willy actually felt a pang of panic.
He had no idea how Frank got inside his own house, but Frank was going to keep slapping him if he kept being stubborn. As such, he had to hold back his own rage and bellowed, "If you're talking about that geezer this afternoon, yes! | sicked my men on him, so what about it?! Do | need your approval?! Who do you think you are?!"
"Who do | think am?"
Frank chuckled, but his calmness was the one before a storm.
Releasing Willy and letting him collapse on the floor, Frank narrowed his eyes as he looked downward at Willy, growling icily, "You have one chance to spare yourself from pain, Willy Sorano—cwithto the hospital and kowtow to Nash in apology. That, or you'll regret it… Trustwhen | say that you'd feel pain a hundred times worse than Nash's."
Willy was huffing on the floor, even as he realized that Frank had gone through the pain to chere just to get payback for that geezer!
Spitting a mouthful of bloody drool, he wobbled as he got up and glared at Frank savagely and grinned. "Frank Lawrence, you have balls, I'll give you that—but you're done. You just had to enter my house and make a mess of things. Do you know what comes after?!"
His eyes flashing maniacally, Willy cackled hysterically. "Hehehe… It's not just you! Every single person you ever held dear will die in the most painful and gruesways! As they do, they will curse and spite you, regretting ever knowing you! The sgoes for you, Frank Lawrence. You're all done because | say so!"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 993-Frank did not even flinch as he watched Willy cackle hysterically, and he asked calmly, "So, are you done?" "Eh?" Willy was taken aback by Frank's unaffected reaction, even asking blankly, "Aren't you scared? I know everything about you and your family in Riverton-Oof!" Willy could not even scream as Frank punched his lower jaw, pulverizing everything including his teeth into mush.
All he could do was writhe around the floor in sheer pain.
"Maybe…" Frank remained impassive as he watched him convulse, speaking calmly, "Maybe my family will suffer like you threatened, but I'll do all I can to stop it before that. If it's a war you Soranos want, I wouldn't mind showing my chops and bathing your house in blood." "Insolence!" An elderly man in a white suit emerged from the door behind Frank just then, glancing at Willy before
glaring furiously at Frank. "Bathe my house in blood?! Such bold words! Now state your name!" Gus Zeller then entered as well and did a double take in confusion when he saw Frank.
"What?" he blurted-all he was told was that someone had barged into Sorano Estate, and he rushed over post-haste.
He did not expect to see Frank at all… Did that mean he was the intruder?! "The nis Frank Lawrence, and I've been waiting." Frank stood his ground, his gaze wary even as studied the man in white. His pure vigor was palpable and exuberant-he had to be halfway up Ascendant rank or higher.
In other words, he meant trouble.
"Granduncle…" Willy's eyes lit up hopefully when he saw the man in white and started to crawl toward him even as he bawled unintelligibly, "Help me, Granduncle! T-That bastard barged into our hand tried to kill me… You have to help" Naturally, Frank did not allow Willy to leave.
Frank stomped his foot on Willy's knees, preventing him from moving even as he screamed, "Please, Granduncle! Save me!" Tony Sorano's eyes bulged in rage at the sight of his grandnephew's abuse and humiliation.
Pointing at Frank, he bellowed, "I don't care where you cfrom. You've intruded upon Sorano property ( and hurt a child of the. family You'll die where you stand!
Let go of my grandnephew, and I'll let you die with dignity!
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 994-"I bear you no ill will, Mr. Sorano," Gus retorted firmly at Willy. "Why would you mistreat you in any way? If anything, it does the Sorano family no good to start a fight without knowing why. After all, we're talking about a martial elite who's clearly outraged enough to charge into our own turf."
"Fine. In that case, I'd like to hear the brat's story."
Tony nodded, withholding his rage as he turned toward Frank with a cool glare.
"What's your beef with my family, Mr. Lawrence?
We should at least understand why you're trying to start a war here."
"That's right." Gus nodded.
"Hmph. Finally, someone who speaks like a human being." Frank snorted as he eased his foot over Willy's kneecap.
Turning toward Gus darkly, he asked, "When you consulted me, we agreed that I'd bring you medicine to treat your recurring condition, didn't we?"
"Is that true?" Tony turned to Gus.
"Yes, it is." Gus glanced at him in turn, nodding solemnly and frowning.
Frank then bellowed, "I happened to be busy, so | sent a man to deliver the medicine, but Willy here intercepted him at the gates and tortured him! So what are you going to do about that?!"
Tony was left stunned by Frank's bellow, while Gus exclaimed in shock, "You're saying that Mr. Sorano tortured your courier?! | don't know anything about that!"
He was just curious as to why Frank had not delivered the medicine on the appointed tas agreed… So Willy had messed everything up!
"Wait!"
Tony held up a hand, frowning at Frank. "There's plenty of issues in what you said, Mr. Lawrence. | don't even know you, so why would my grandnephew attack your courier? Did your courier upset him?"
Frank snorted, not bothered to explain himself. "Why don't you let Gus over there explain?"
Gus nodded at Tony in turn. "Mr. Sorano here had a little disagreement with Mr.
Lawrence in Riverton when he attempted to acquire Lycoris Entertainment. | stepped in so that they both let it rest on that occasion, but…"
Gus trailed off, but his meaning could not be clearer—Willy clearly held a grudge and took it out on Frank's courier, so Frank had to chere himself in the nof vengeance.
"Gus Zeller, you prick!" Willy cried all over the floor right then. "You're obviously friends with him! That's why you spared him in Riverton… You'd believe him even though Granduncle Zam was killed there!
Instead, you'd take it out on me, and now you're siding with him again! Aren't you consorting with the enemy against our family?!"
Gus glowered visibly at Willy's outburst, leveling him a cool look as he chuckled.
"Actually, | haven't even settle that issue with you, Mr. Sorano! I've told Master Sorano about everything that happened in Riverton —why else do you think you were being investigated so thoroughly?!
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 995-"Gus Zeller…!!!" Willy hissed furiously, but there was nothing he could do.
"Willy," Tony said quietly just then, "Gus is right. You haven't been found innocent of Zam's death, and now, you've brought more trouble to our doorstep.
You're in the wrong here, so apologize to Mr. Lawrence now." "What?!" Willy's eyes widened so much they could pop out, and he shrieked even as he looked up at them, "Am I hearing this wrong?! This… This Frank Lawrence barged into our home, killed our bodyguards, and hurt me! And you're letting this slide?!
When has our family becthis weak?! Or do we not fight back when others shit on us these days?!" "Silence!" Gus bellowed icily as he strode a step forward.
"Letmake this clear-you've only ever been causing us trouble, and you're a suspect in your own granduncle's death! Don't try to cry your way out of this!"
Then, pointing at Frank, Gus laughed despite himself. "Frank Lawrence sent a
courier to deliver a medicine, but forget stopping him -you'd torture the man?
What is it that you mean to do? You don't wantto getmedicine and get better?!
The only person who has been unfair is you!" Gus's bellow left Willy's flushing in frustration, just as Tony waved his hand, coming up with a verdict. "That's enough. Mr. Lawrence. You've struck my grandson and voiced your grievance.
Why don't we let bygones be bygones?" Even before Willy could give a piece of his mind, Frank laughed coldly and shook his head at Tony.
Looking downward at Willy, who kept struggling against his foot, he growled through his teeth, "Do you know how vile this prick has been? He broke every bone in my courier's body, pulled off every fingernail, and took a chunk off his scalp. My courier was barely breathing when I found him!" Gus and Tony both scowled at Frank's description, shocked by Willy's vileness.
"Oh, and did you think that's all?" Frank snickered coolly. "He was not satisfied after putting my courier through all that torture. He had him sent to the hospital to be treated, just so he could bring him back for another round!" Gus's rage was visible just then.
Even if he did not see Nash's actual state, just hould feel it in his b far over the line e from Frank's descripti alone! On the other hand, Tony's expression cooled, but not from outrage.
"Frank Lawrence," he said. "Do you have any proof of what you said? I can't take your words at face value unless you produce evidence."
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 996-Willy struggled violently even as he bawled, "Save me, Granduncle!!!" Tony promptly strode up and bellowed at Frank right then, "Stop! We were being reasonable here, but you'd hurt Willy instead?! Would you rather we not be reasonable?!" "Calm down, Mr. Lawrence," Gus reasoned as well, reluctant to fight Frank.
"Heh…" Frank chuckled nonchalantly in spite of Tony and Gus' wary stances.
"You're the ones who should be begging. Even before I came, there were only two options I was going to offer Willy." As he spoke, he crushed Willy's other kneecap with his foot-the man was in so much pain that he drifted in and out of consciousness, but all he could do was curse and yell Frank's name.
"I'll kill him if you ccloser," Frank said just then, seeing that Tony was ready to attack.
His warning promptly left Tony straightening warily-he could already tell that Frank was strong, and that killing Willy was a matter of will for him.
"Then what do you want?!" Tony bellowed, glaring at Frank in rage.
"This prick will taste the pain he's inflicted upon Nash Yego, and it'll be a lesson for life. Naturally, whether he lives depends on what you do…" Folding his arms before his chest, Frank sneered, "Remember, I never cto reason with anyoneyou're all going to beg for Willy's life. Right now, I'll infuse a poison within his body that will leave him in screaming agony for three days and nights. Attack me, and het die, and then it is war." Frank narrowed his eyes, his tone sinisterly cold and sending chills down everyone's spines. "Sure, you Soranos are rich and powerful, but none of you can stopif I want to escape. After that, I'll retaliate in the worst way possible… as for what that actually means, you can sleep on it."
Both Tony and Gus could feel their skin crawling at Frank's threat.
However, there was no doubt that the Soranos would have their hands full if they really upset a martial elite of Frank's caliber.
Unlike the Lionhearts, whose influence revolved around the martial arts scene and had et numerous martial artists among their ranks, it would be a pain for the Soranos if Frank was determined to hurt them-especially if he resorted to guerilla tactics. As both Tony and Gus stayed silent, Frank could hear the footsteps downstairs.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 997-Frank sneered. "If you want him to live, you'll bring him over to Loggins Apothecary and have him kowtow to Nash in apology… It's either that, or you can wait until he dies screaming in three days. And you can trustwhen I say he'll regret being alive then." With those words, Frank leapt off the second floor before anyone could respond, landing on top of one of Willy's luxury cars. As the Sorano bodyguards around him looked on in shock, he leapt into a dcar and drove off.
"Stop him! Stop him!" EmiSorano-Willy's father-bellowed manically at the bodyguards downstairs, having rushed to the scene after hearing what had happened.
"Oh… Okay!" The bodyguards finally cto their senses and finally gave chase.
However, Frank had already put a considerable distance between them, and they had no hope of beating him even if they caught up.
As such, they merely looked busy chasing after Frank but were actually doing it half-heartedly.
None of them were eager to die anyway.
And within minutes, the Soranos' elite bodyguards never arrived, and the others basically escorted Frank out of Sorano Estate.
The second floor of Willy's mansion was eerily silent, save for Willy himself rolling around the floor.
He was shouting for help endlessly and crying in pain, begging for someone to kill him-everything that would leave anyone creeped out.
As Zico Sorano's eldest son and Willy's father, Emiwas furious to see his son being put through such anguish.
"Call for a doctor. Find out what happened to him… And can someone tellwhat happened already?!" At his bellow, Tony Sorano-who had been silent for a whilelooked around at the gathered Sorano retainers and other high-ranked members of the family.
Sighing, he strode up and spoke quietly, "Your son messed with an Ascendant rank, and he cfor revenge." As everyone else appeared confused, he explained quietly, "Willy assaulted the man he sent to deliver medicine, tortured him, and suffered his retaliation." "Nonsense!" Emislammed his hand on the table as he sprang to his feet, bellowing furiously, "What do we pay the retainers and bodyguards for Forget not subduing an enemy you're siding with them to accuse my son?! I don't care about justice-he attacked Sorano Estate, and that's unforgivable!" "Exactly!" Emilio's brothers agreed, with his second brother striding forwards as he growled coolly, "We are one of the Four Families of Morhen, and someone was allowed to cand go as they pleased?! What would people think?!" "That's right!" Emilio's third brother barked, scowling. "Not only would they laugh at us, but do you think they'd still fear us? They'd just treat us like spushovers!" S "I propose that we send our men out to capture him. We'll skin him as everyone watches, so that he'll understand the consequences of messing with us!" "I concur!" too!"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 998-Just as the Soranos' executives and retainers almost cto an agreement, an authoritative voice barked from the doorway, "What's going on here?!" Silence quickly ensued, with most of them keeping their heads down in reverence while an old man shuffled inside.His back was hunched and his visage ancient, but he carried himself with authority.He stood in the middle of the crowd, his eyes piercing studying everyone.It was none other than Zico Sorano, the head of the Sorano family, himself."Brother." Tony approached him and told him everything that had happened, keeping his narrative neutral as he reported the facts of what he had seen."Hmm... an Ascendant rank named Frank Lawrence?" Zico was focused on Frank, barely paying the writhing Willy any attention as he thought to himself in silence.Soon, he smiled enigmatically, with even the wrinkles on his face smoothening."Well, that's decided." He chuckled. "Ctomorrow and send an escort with Willy to apologize to Frank Lawrence. Remember to be solemn and sincere-do your best not to upset the boy." "Why, Father?!" Emiwas the first to protest, springing to his feet and bellowing, "He hurt your grandson, and in our own house! It's a slap in our collective faces, and we're supposed to apologize?! We'd be making ourselves a laughing stock!" Zico appeared unaffected despite Emiquestioning his orders. He turned toward the other key members and retainers of his family, asking calmly, "Does anyone here agree with Emilio?" No one spoke up at his question-Emionly dared to because he was Zico's son, and that was not a privilege the others had. And they knew Zico. They must either obey him, or else.et Nonetheless, Tony soon strode up as well, speaking politely, "Brother, I'm afraid I don't understand this either. The enemy has cand attacked us in our own house, so why are we apologizing instead? Isn't this a slap to our face, as Emilio's put it?" "Hoho..." Zico chuckled, shaking his head but somehow not upset like he usually would be when others question him "None of you get it, do you? What if I told you that the boy is really Donn Lawrence, the son of the Lord of the Southern Woods who supposedly went missing in South Sea three years ago?" "What?!" "That boy... the only son of the Lord of the Southern Woods?""Mystic Sky Sect... Donn Lawrence..." The key members and retainers of the Sorano family needed minutes to digest the bombshell. They certainly had no idea how Zico knew, but his judgment was always on the money.Zico then sighed, clearly wary of the Lord of the Southern Woods. "I'm sure we all know how protective that man is toward his son. If we se much as lay a finger on the kid, he'd be on our doorstep the day after." "Then, what? Are we supposed to just take this lying down?" Emiexclaimed in grief and frustration.
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 999-"Oh, you needn't worry." Zico smiled. "I've heard that there's been issues with Turnbulls and Lionhearts' arranged engagement, and it all revolved around Frank Lawrence." Emirealized with a start. "Are you saying…" "Yes." Zico snorted. "We'll stay behind the scenes and let the Turnbulls and the Lionhearts deal with him. Ideally, his identity stays hidden and all of them get hurt in their conflict. That's when we cin…" Laughing coldly, Zico sighed. "The Five-Peat Archaeus is a discipline said to lead one to Transcendent rank, a path to immortality. What are the opinions of mortals in comparison?" "I understand now… Thank you for your guidance, Father." "D-Dad? Save me… It hurts so much… Everything hurts…" Willy held out a hand to Emieven as he rolled around.
However, Emiwas already fantasizing about obtaining the Five-Peat Archaeus and did not have any attention to spare. Eventually, he shot the boy with a calm look and said coolly, "If you want it to stop hurting, you'll personally apologize to Frank Lawrence tomorrow. Remember to be respectful-you don't have the luxury of messing up, you hear?" In reality, Willy could not even think.
He was losing his mind from the sheer anguish he was put through, and he nodded repeatedly even as his tears flowed.
It was an utterly tragic sight.
Gus Zeller glanced at him and sighed, shaking his head. "Talk about digging a hole for yourself." The next day, Kat Yego skipped school and rushed to Loggins Apothecary, somehow receiving word that her father was hurt. "Dad, who did this to you?!" she exclaimed angrily.
Naturally, she found Nash in a much better state than yesterday, or she would have lost her calm and started bawling. Despite their strained relationship, she did care for her father, and her heart ached to see him lying in bed so feebly.
"Oh… I'm fine, silly girl." Nash could speak normally too, having mended at an logical rate with the two Ichor Pills from Frank. Though he was still bedridden, most of his physical injuries had healed.
In just a couple weeks, he would make a full recovery, which left Abel Loggins and his staff further el impressed by Frank's knowledge in medicine. "Uncle Nash, who did this to you? I'll find them and give them a piece of my mind!" A mild-mannered bespectacled man entered the ward just then, scowling as he did and promising to help Nash.
He was Matis Nagel, Nash's sister-in-law's son.
"No, it's fine. What are you doing here, Matis?" Matis paused at Nash's question and said quietly, "My friend just happens to work at that hospital you were transferred from. Your ncup in a conversation, and then told Mom, who toldto see you right away. Who did this to you, Uncle Nash?"
The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage Chapter 1000-As Matis put down the fruit basket he brought and frowned, Nash remained silent.
"It's…" Eventually, he sighed without mentioning a name. "Just forget it. We can't afford to mess with them." "Now, now. You're underestimating Matis, Nash!" a shrill voice spoke outside the door.
Soon, a middle-aged woman dressed in yellow who sported permed hair and excessive makeup strode in, clicking her tongue. She was Mel Gunnar, Nash's sister-in-law.
"How terrible… What did you do to deserve this, Nash?" she exclaimed before turning to flash a proud smile at Matis. "But don't worry-with my son around, he'll
find justice for you, whoever it was!" "Exactly." Matis nodded. "Just tell us who it is. I'll definitely help you!" "You really don't have to." Nash shook his head, not inclined to involve them and finding Mel's voice too shrill for his liking.
"Just tell us, Dad! Who did this to you? Was it my fault?" Kat pressed, clearly blaming himself for her father's injury since she believed Soren Lionheart was responsible.
"Oh, fine…" Nash sighed, unable to withstand his daughter's pestering. "There's a little misunderstanding when I delivered medicine for Mr. Lawrence. Don't worry, Kat-it's not your fault." "Master Lawrence?" Kat did a double take, surprised that Frank had something to do with his father's injury.
"Mr. Lawrence? Who's that, Kat?" Matis asked, frowning.
"He's a guest lodging at our cottage, my mentor, and-" Kat happened to spot Frank entering just then and pointed at him. "There he is." "What are you doing here, Kat?" Frank was surprised Kat found out about Nash's injury, and he felt guilty and helpless at once-he was not keeping his hands clean now.
"Mr. Lawrence, was it?" Matis suddenly stood in Frank's way, leveling a hostile glare at him. "You're the reason my uncle was hurt? Who are you?" "Hmm?"
Frank glanced quizzically between Matis and Mel, and then at Kat.
"That's my cousin Matis, and my Aunt Mel." "Oh, your relatives?" Frank nodded.
He a hand to Matis, saying lightly, nis Frank Lawrence, I'meng 2. Ot want trouble, and held out at your uncle's for work. How do you do?" "I'm not feeling so good," Matis snapped, slapping Frank's hand away and seizing him by the collar his faces inches away from Frank's as he growled icily, "You'd best tellwho hurt my uncle, or you're not leaving this room!" "What are you doing, Matis?!"
Kat would have asked Frank himself, but she was upset to see her cousin vent his anger on Frank.
However, before she could reach them, Mel caught her while leveling Frank a look of suspicious disdain "What happened here? Why would you let ssuspicious character like him stay in your cottage Do you need money?"
