The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"Did you think that you can stand up to the Lionhearts and Volsung Sect all on your own?!"

Kilian Lionheart rasped coolly, "Give up already! The might of Simon Lionheart rules this land, and you will rest in pieces if he personally gets involved!"

"You have ten seconds," Frank simply muttered, impassive as he wiped the blood off the corner of his lips.

However, Kilian was obviously not worried about Frank's threat and continued to persuade him, "You should be kneeling to me, Frank Lawrence! I admit you're outstanding, and I just might forgive your transgressions, even recommend a place for you in Volsung Sect!

"Volsung Sect would eventually come to rule Draconia and the rest of the world! The path of martial arts is just the beginning... You have no idea where this path really leads! Now let me down and bow to me, and I'll tell you the greatest secret never told—"

"Time's up."

Frank shook his head in disappointment.

"What are you are you going to kill me, Frank?! Don't you dare! Volsung Sect will-"

Crunch!

Frank snapped Kilian's neck even before he could finish, and the man's eyes widened in disbelief.

Even as his corpse was dropped unceremoniously on the floor, he never thought that Frank would dare to kill him.

Naturally, he had underestimated Frank-if he had thoroughly investigated Frank and piece together who he really was from all the subtle clues, he would not even dream of recruiting Frank.

Frank was snorting in turn. "I will crush your pathetic Volsung Sect eventually, and you're just the second Lionheart who has fallen to me. I have no reason to keep you alive since you refused to tell me what the spiritron vein is."

After killing Kilian, he looked around.

The crowd around him was silent, staring at him in fear.

Even if they were convinced Frank defeated Jaden with poison earlier, they all saw him take down a real martial elite with his bare hands.

With that, all the skepticism about

Frank crumbled, as the crowd

realized that Frank was not some

loathsome poisoner, but a genuine martial elite instead.

"Everyone..."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

And knowing that arguing would still work against his favor, Frank searched Kilian's corpse and pulled out a letter seemingly out of nowhere.

Then, sticking to the script he

rehearsed, he announced, "Everyone, this letter is written by Troy Bearson, intended for his men! It has orders to purchase the poison called

Soulbleeder, which was used

against myself and Jaden Felnet

Troy was also the one who incited this confrontation between Lanecorp and the Favonis of

Norsedam, so that he can sit back and enjoy the spoils when the dust settles."

Coughing blood again, he then continued, "Now, you have both material proof and witnesses! Citizens of Zamri and illustrious guests, do not be fooled by Troy Bearson-he is a wolf in sheepskin, and those men with him are provocateurs, working under his payroll!"

As Frank pointed at the men who kept inciting the crowd against himself, the men dropped limply to the floor in fear.

Their reaction only further proved Frank's point, leaving the crowd in an uproar.

The tales were turned so quickly!

And seeing that things did not look good for him, Troy quickly led his men to turn and run.

Frank was not bothered, however-in a way, Troy had indirectly caused Kilian's death, and someone would deal with him anyway.

He continued, "As for Lanecorp and the Favonis..."
