The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2224

Frank shook his head. "Probably not. Someone was concerned that he would expose their secret and therefore poisoned him. It's too late for him anyway—let's go see Pax."

Searching around the room, Frank soon found the hidden button to escape the underground passage and headed to Pax's room.

To Frank and Alda's surprise, Pax did not run despite knowing that danger was coming, even smoking as he sat on the couch.

His goons and girlfriends had long since disappeared from the oncoming threat.

"You're not afraid of me?" Frank asked, curious.

"What's the point? Would that help me kill you?"

Pax smiled. "I must admit that I misjudged you—I thought that you were no different from those martial arts fanboys, but you're actually a real champion. It's no shame that I'd lose to you."

As he finished, he reached into his pocket, glancing at Frank as if asking for permissions in case Frank would attack preemptively.

Frank eventually nodded, and Pax whipped out a palm-sized metal tablet that he placed on the table.

It was an emblem just like the ones seen in period dramas, with a crest and small font underneath that read: the Cerulean Summit Legion of the Tarren kingdom.

"Was this a legion that served the Tarren dynasty?"

Alda could see that there was more to this emblem than met the eye, but she did not remember the Cerulean Summit Legion from history either.

In that case, that would make the legion an irregular military force from that distant era.

Pax smiled but shook his head. "History texts lie, Ms. Ingram! Who would bother to record a legion of less than three thousand in detail?"

As he spoke, Pax passed Frank the emblem, but Alda shook her head to stop him.

"They took steps to ensure that they were well-hidden as their influence grew. At this point, they had become too strong that those above couldn't hope to control them, but this emblem guaranteed their obedience."

Frank finally understood at that point—Pax had gone through great lengths just to surrender leadership of that mysterious military force to him!

Still, he threw the emblem back at Pax. "I have no use for this."

Pax snorted. "You're kidding. This is prepared for the master of the Shagan spiritron vein. It's going to be yet another bloodbath if you reject it, especially if you allow it to fall into the wrong hands!

"Also, you should be thinking about your own safety—the day that the spiritron vein's energy is fully restored, you'll be unable to leave Shagan. In that case, you would be able to direct those legionnaires out there to do your bidding."

As Pax threw the tablet back to Frank once more, Frank decided that Pax was right.

If he really could not leave Shagan after this, it was likely that the Cerulean Summit Legion would be working in his stead.
