The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"Jaden is second in Skyrank!" Edon exclaimed anxiously at Chet. "And he's your son! Just think about it—if the boy grows further, we won't just become one of the strongest dynasties on the East Coast... We might even establish ourselves in Morhen!"

"I know." Chet sighed, leveling a cool stare at his brother. "But who aside from Hundred Bane Sect can save Jaden now? However, if we agreed to their demands, our family's cultivation and hard work that spanned over a hundred years would be for naught.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Unlike the Martial Alliance, Hundred Bane Sect would have complete control over our family. Where the Martial Alliance is a loose organization, we would be reduced to their lab rats. Even if you were in my shoes, would you be able to sacrifice so many of us for Jaden's sake?"

"That's true, but..."

Edon wanted to argue but scowled as he had no retort and sat down again.

"Hehe... Chet, Edon."

Just then, a pale man wearing glasses and a white suit entered.

Edon was immediately glaring at him. "You have the cheek to come back, Lubor?!"

"Now you're just being mean, Edon." Lubor Favoni smiled. "Why wouldn't I come back? This is Favoni House, and it's my home too."

"What do you want, Lubor? Out with it already," Chet said, his expression cold even though he was not snapping at Lubor like Edon.

"Brother." Lubor nodded politely at him and smiled. "I've come back bringing good news."

"What good news would you bring?" Edon snorted, sarcastic.

"Tell us." Chet waved, stopping Edon and gesturing for Lubor to continue.

"Oh, it's simply wonderful..."

Lubor smiled faintly. "Jaden is my nephew and my dear brother's son, which is why I sympathize despite my allegiance to Hundred Bane Sect. That's why I asked the elders for help to save him... and I managed to convince them.

"Now, they only ask for one thing-just hand over the chief of the Martial Alliance to them, and they won't demand our family to take the Blood Centipede Pills or serve them as a vassal. I think it's basically a luxury, don't you agree?"

"What?"

Edon did a double take but remained skeptical. "Did you grow a conscience or something?"

"Hehe..."

Lubor chuckled. "Come on, Edon-I'm family too. How could I do nothing while my nephew is in danger?"

Chet remained silent as they watched the exchange between his brothers.

Chet was the strongest, which was why he was the head of the family.

Edon was just slightly weaker in

Con and was in charge

businesses and other

administrative affairs.

As for Lubor, their third brother, he left years ago to join Hundred Bane Sect.

He persistently yearned to topple Chet, as he was always dissatisfied with his eldest brother and wanted to usurp him.

He worked very hard for it too, even getting Hundred Bane Sect involved.
