The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 461

Frank started at Burt in turn—he had heard of him before.

After all, Burt Yorkman had the reputation of making the most arrests in Riverton Precinct and was as competent as he was brutal.

Those he had his eyes on would never get away, though Frank was still surprised he was a member of Sage Lake Sect.

Still, he reasoned, "You are more or less a man of accomplishment in Riverton. Why stoop to being Sage Lake Sect's lapdog?"

Burt chuckled, presuming that Frank was intimidated and therefore trying to sway him.

"Give up on your pretty words, kid." He snorted in disdain. "It's your misfortune for upsetting Sage Lake Sect—average Joes like you would never understand the terror they embody, but don't worry, I'll spare you the pain while satisfying Ms. Ocean."

Frank chuckled. "So I should be thanking you?"

"You're welcome."

"Actually, I know a thing or two about sects myself—have you heard of Mystic Sky Sect?" Frank asked just then.

Burt did a double take, surprised that Frank was aware. "They were the top sect in the world, but regrettably, they fell three years ago—the chief and their senior apprentice both. The Four South Sea Sects now share control over what's left, and they are a shade of their former glory."

"For now." Frank smiled. "You'll soon see us rise again."

Burt was surprised again. "You're saying you're one of them?"

Frank nodded silently, and Burt shook his head in disappointment. "I might have considered letting you go three years ago, but you have no chance now."

Burt frowned, surprised that Frank had enough influence to have someone like Vicky speak on his behalf.

However, he was virtually born prejudiced against rich kids like her as a sect apprentice—he was convinced that they would never compare to sects.

"No worries, Ms. Turnbull, I can decide for myself after the crime Frank Lawrence has committed." He chuckled and hung up.

However, more calls ensued.

"Burt Yorkman, I'm Trevor Zurich of Trevor International…"

"Burt Yorkman, I'm Robert Quill, the governor of Riverton. I demand Frank Lawrence's release right now…"
