The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"Cloudnine Sect?"

Frank simply regarded Kain with amusement, chuckling coolly. "Did you think I'd be afraid of Cloudnine Sect? Hahaha... You're really underestimating me now, huh?" "I'd never!"

Kain certainly did not dare argue, profoundly afraid of Frank's displeasure as it was his life on the line.

What could he do if Frank killed him right now? Even if Cloudnine Sect might avenge him, what was the point if he was dead?

Seeing Kain's humbled pleas for mercy, everyone including Til and Kiki were left gaping, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The infamous Kain Loom was kowtowing and pleading to Frank like some wretched dog, afraid to speak rudely even after his own brother was killed.

The thought left Til scowling-he was just persuading Frank to give up on Vicky just to get on Kain's good graces.

It turned out that he was the clown all along!

Kiki certainly changed the way she saw Frank too, just as she heard everything Til said.

She was already embarrassed at how her fellow apprentice was so meek against Kain and the shocking reveal Frank gave them.

That alone made Frank so much better-he would stand fast when the going got tough instead of backing down.

In fact, all Til did was use his connections to intimidate Kain.

As soon as he saw that Kain was getting serious, he gave up on his own desires just to survive.

It undoubtedly left Kiki uncomfortable.

In fact, she was suddenly not so sure about trusting the man-if Til faced danger in the future, would he not use her as a meat shield?Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll spare your wretched life for now." Frank snorted just then and finally withdrew the pressure he projected on Kain.

Then, looking around at the other martial elites the Turnbulls brought in, he said, "You've all been asked to fight against the South Sea Crow, and not against yourselves. I've said from the start that I didn't want to affect morale, so I hope everyone can work as one over the next few days, instead of having something like this repeat itself."

With that, and ignoring everyone's silence, Frank took Vicky by the hand and led her out of the conference hall.

Along the way, Vicky was sighing exasperatedly. "Urgh, I really don't know what Uncle Glen is thinking. It feels like we've led an entire pack of foxes into the henhouse..."

Frank shrugged and replied vaguely,

"I'm sure your uncle is not at ease to

turn them down since most would be connections of the branch families. Also, numbers have advantages despite the disadvantages-it would at least keep the South Sea Crow wary. Either way, we just have to see how

things develop."

Vicky then wrapped her hands around his arm, leaning against his shoulder as she giggled coquettishly, "My darling is the strongest, bringing in line all those unruly fellows. Tonight, shall we..."

Frank gulped, noticing Vicky's hint

meantime."

However, Vicky could see through Frank's motives right then. "Tch. In the end, you just can't push Helen aside."
