Semua Bab The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage: Bab 661 - Bab 670

Nothing was easier than for Quinn to avoid the guards and sneak into Dahok's residence.She split up with Frank as he would be drawing the attention of the Sage Lake Sect leaders.He strode through the mountain gates and immediately saw the stately board on which the name 'Sage Lake Sect' was carved—century-old sects really did impress.The apprentices standing guard were glowering and barking when they saw Frank, "Who goes there?!""Frank Lawrence of Riverton."The apprentices' faces fell as soon as Frank replied, and they encircled Frank while one of them ran into the building to report.Soon, Maron Ocean and a group of Sage Lake Sect elders stepped out, standing above the stairs as they looked down on Frank with lofty contempt.Maron was still in his white suit, clapping when he saw Frank. "Not bad. You have the balls to come here to die."The two elders with him scowled in disdain, snapping, "Slaying our apprentices and our high elder?! Get down on your knees and accept you

Maron was endlessly pompous, clearly saying all he could to provoke Frank."It just happens that I have a guest from Morhen, but how do I put this? We can't afford to upset her." Maron sighed, shaking his head dramatically as he walked circles around Frank. "She's so hot, but she's also too powerful. She'd just kill me if I try to force myself on her—that's why I need a fearless champion, and one who has nothing to do with Sage Lake Sect to take her down. But I don't mean to hurt her, I just want to incapacitate her—ideally unconscious.""After that, leave everything to me," he finished, clapping Frank on the shoulder and patting his cheek. "I'm counting on you, Mr. Lawrence! If you do, I'll…"Maron trailed off as he switched gears. "Hold on, letting off a martial elite like you so easily is a waste. Let's do it this way instead—I have five hostages, but you can pick the one I release while I release each of them after you fulfill a task for me. Generous, aren't I? That's decided!

"Hahaha…"Maron was laughing as he came over, throwing an arm around Frank's shoulder. "Lady Silverbell, this is my friend, Frank Lawrence.""Frank Lawrence…?! No, that's impossible."Silverbell's cool gaze flickered for a moment, showing confusion and reminisce. However, it only lasted for a moment as she regained her cool composure, and she threw those thoughts away.She had come to East Draconia for Frank Lawrence—Donn Lawrence, to be precise.Donn was the son of Godwin Lawrence, the Lord of the Southern Woods. Silverbell was told that Donn had found success in Riverton, and she had traveled there to meet him… to clear the air and annul the engagement their parents decided for them while they were children.As for the man before her… Even if he had the same name, Frank should not be here in Southdam, let alone get involved with Sage Lake Sect.After all, Sage Lake Sect was a minor cabal in a remote location—the Lord of the Southern Woods' son would never keep such frivolous c

Seeing that Maron actually knew his place, Silverbell nodded impassively. "In that case, your application to the Martial Alliance is now forfeited. Only approach us in Morhen again if one of yours actually reaches Ascendant rank. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to."She started to drift away, but Maron stopped her again. "Please wait, Lady Silverbell.""What?" Silverbell's expression cooled, staring pointedly around at the Sage Lake Sect apprentices. "Is there anything else you have to add?""Certainly." Maron strode forward, shaking his head. "Like you said, my sect's right is rightly forfeited. But won't you agree it's a pity when my father just happens to be incapacitated, and the chance that Cloudnine Sect fought for us would only come to waste?""What are you trying to say?" Silverbell growled impatiently."Patience, Lady Silverbell." Maron smiled politely. "Even if current members of my sect have failed, my friend here is willing to join and help us

Elder Huxley walked up to Maron, his tone hesitant. "Master Maron, isn't Frank Lawrence…"Maron shrugged. "He's better than I thought, able to challenge that bitch as an equal.""But what about the chief—""Silence," Maron growled as he shot him an icy look. "He's barely alive, so shut it unless you want all of us dead!""Yes, Master Maron." Elder Huxley sighed heavily."Come on, Elder Huxley." Maron chuckled, seeing his concern. "I know that it's hard on you as an elder of our sect, seeing how things have turned out… but would you rather have Sage Lake Sect stay stuck in measly Southdam for another hundred years?!""Just think about it in another way," he continued with an enigmatic smile. "Bocek Ocean is dead, and my father will soon be too. Who else would know what we did? And once this match is over and I have my way with Silverbell, do you know what's going to happen?"Elder Huxley shook his head. "I'm not sure… and I'm confused. Wouldn't Lady Silverbell punish us?""Punis
