The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage의 모든 챕터: 챕터 2221 - 챕터 2230

Alda scowled as she did not expect to be used like a pawn, and so despicably at that.Still, it was also understandable as Frank had put it—from the perspective of nature, humankind was the dominant species but was no different from ants despite their superior intelligence.And their so-called sciences were even more insignificant to nature—the rupturing of tectonic plates that occurred every other day had greater destructive force than every nuclear bomb put together."There are times when we're pitiful, now that I think about it."Alda sighed in disappointment. "The living amount to nothing and have to suffer nature's scorn at that.""No point complaining about reality. Just stick to being yourself," Frank said.While Alda was no longer moping after Frank's advice, Pax was shocked by Frank's words.Like Frank had posited, he was one of the individuals whom Sally York had invested in.However, he had come too late to get anything really of value, which was why he ended up insi

Pax remained calm as a cucumber. "What's there to get jealous about? The girls would flock to you by the dozens if you're as strong as him. So instead of getting jealous, you should work on improving yourself instead."Everyone was left smiling in wry amusement.Improve themselves? Who were they kidding? With their measly potential, they would not catch up to Frank in this lifetime, let alone hold a candle to him.-Meanwhile, in the underground passage, Frank and Alda arrived at a specious chamber where various curious potted fauna were growing.An eightyish geezer was strolling around it, carefully arranging the leaves."You're here," he breathed as he sensed Frank and Alda's arrival, glancing at them before continuing tending to his plants."Who are you?" Alda quickly asked, sensing danger."Who I am doesn't matter." The geezer smiled. "The important thing is for you to know yourself."Although he was answering Alda's question, his eyes were fixed on Frank.Frank snorted

And with that, Pax breathed a sigh of relief. "Now my work here is done!"That was when Alda asked in curiosity, "Wait, so you sent your hired thugs to vandalize Golden Lily and set up an elaborate obstacle course for Mr. Frankton just to test if he has the disposition to lead the Cerulean Summit Legion?"Pax smiled and nodded. "Their first commander is my ancestor, and it's our duty to surrender our authority should a man of Mr. Frankton's caliber show up."I'm not going to lie—I'm no angel, and I tried to keep the Cerulean Summit Legion to myself. My ancestors naturally considered that and ensured that even if I had the emblem, I can't make the legionnaires my errand boys. Since it's useless to me anyway, I'd rather let your boyfriend have it."Alda understood right then and was surprised that the guardians of the spiritron vein lasted over a thousand years!Still, Pax turned toward Frank and pursed his lips. "A last reminder: being chosen by the spiritron vein doesn't necessari

Meg shoved Sadie in annoyance. "It's called attraction—tell me, who wouldn't be interested in your gorgeous mentor? Don't you think that I don't know about your intention to jump him too." Sadie shrugged. "Even if I do have such intentions, I never once took action, unlike you, playing the blushing maiden while barely keeping your libido in check. What even is that?"As the two ladies joked around, Frank decided that it was boring for him and went upstairs.Before he got to the top floor, however, he heard Ida Cahn breathing heavily, as if exerting herself.There was another person breathing, but he was calm and steady—he was a martial artist like Frank, and a good one at that.Surprised, Frank quickly kicked open the door to find Ida lying prone on the floor, clutching her throat. Even so, her blood was seeping out from between her fingers as if someone had slit it!Beside her stood a thirtyish bulky man who was around Frank's height, holding a short sword with blood trickling

Frank shook his head. "I don't get it either. Has there been any precedent?"Peerless Jackt smiled wryly. "All I know is that the hero in the tomb murals was the only one who obtained the power of the Shagan spiritron vein before. It doesn't tell us anything else, and we could only make deductions according to those records."He must've been able to bestow that power upon others at will according to the murals, if it hasn't been altered before."Frank nodded—with all said and done, the only thing that they got out of this was the fact that Peerless Jackt had no idea how to control the Shagan spiritron vein."Doesn't matter," he said. "Given the current situation, every legionnaire must stay away from Shagan. Stay safe in your respective locations.""But you're our master!" Peerless Jackt argued. "How could we allow you to face danger without doing anything about it? You've seen what I can do, and many of the legionnaires are on my level—we can beat those metahumans! Let us aid you
