The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1338

"Eh?"

Troy turned to find a figure vaulting over the shoulders of the spectators toward the ring.

"Hahaha! He really came!" he exclaimed in surprise and delighted—more delighted than seeing his own family, in fact.

Thud!

As Frank landed steadily in the ring, everyone turned toward the giant clock in Zamri Square.

Ten minutes as the emcee announced, no more, no less—Frank arrived just in time.

Jaden's eyes narrowed, as he could at least see Frank was skilled.

"What, finally made up your mind? And here I thought you bailed," Jaden said with a scoff.

Frank simply beamed, flashing his bright white teeth. "Heh. Just had to make a detour and wasted some time. Thankfully, I made it."

"Hmph!"

Jaden snorted and said nothing else.

Meanwhile, Frank turned towards the emcee and asked quietly, "So, shall we get started?"

"Oh, uh…"

The emcee looked between Frank, Jaden, and the clearly relieved Troy below stage.

Seein Tory nod at him, he said, "Since you're both here, let's get ready to—"

"Fuck!"

Below stage, Troy was already cursing at Frank for dragging his feet, spitting in rage, "What is he doing?! Is he dragging this out on purpose?!"

"Dragging this out on purpose?"

Beside him, Kilian considered the possibility, and his heart almost stopped as a foreboding sensation gripped him. "Are you sure you didn't leave any loose ends when you did it, Troy?"

Troy did a double take but laughed as he clapped his chest and whispered into Kilian's ear, "Don't worry, Mr. Lionheart! Only my most trusted servant—who has served me the longest, I might add—knows about this.

"The poison was itself expressly obtained from the black market through personal contacts of my former retainers, Thunder, Bolt, Galen, and Blaze. Even Ascendant ranks would be brought down by that poison, so unless Frank somehow resurrected my four retainers, no one would be the wiser."

Though Kilian nodded in relief after Troy explained everything, he still felt a gnawing sense of foreboding—it was a sixth sense exclusive to Ascendant ranks.
