The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 542

The middle-aged man folded his arms before his chest as he slowly approached, his eyes flashing coldly.

Still in Frank's arms, Burt quickly warned Frank with his last sliver of strength, "Watch out, Mr. Lawrence… T-That's Eiger Ocean, Bocek Ocean's other brother… He's an elite Birthright… I'm no match for him… Urk…"

Frank frowned. "Just shut up and lie down, or your meridian nexus will break. If that happens, you won't even be able to wipe your own butt!"

Eiger was actually surprised to see that Burt's meridian nexus did not break either. "I'm surprised that you know how to seal vigor meridians, though one must expect nothing less from the last apprentice of Mystic Sky Sect."

"Mystic Sky Sect?!"

For the umpteenth time of the day, the old man behind Frank was staring in disbelief.

"What's wrong, Grandpa? What's Mystic Sky Sect?" his granddaughter quickly asked.

The old man was stuttering in astonishment, "M-Mystic Sky Sect of the South Sea… It's Draconia's oldest and most enigmatic sect! They didn't have many disciples, but those disciples were all monsters!"

"Monsters? As in, they've all reached Skyrank?"

"Skyrank?" The old man turned to her with a terrible smile. "Even Skyranks are beneath them!"

"What?!" The old man's granddaughter was stupefied.

The old man had always worshiped Skyrank individuals, flattering them for their almost freaky natures…

Frank was surprised as well.

He had heard of Haply Hall during the Battle of the South Sea three years ago, though he was not particularly familiar with them.

As he eyed the old man suspiciously for a moment, he then put down Burt, his expression calm.

"Whatever… Since this is a trap meant for me, I shall be the one who shall spring it! Doesn't matter where you're from, Mr. Fairfax. You were innocent, and I promise you safe passage."

Frank then turned toward Eiger, holding out a palm menacingly. "Give me the Goldeater Cane, and I'll spare Sage Lake Sect. Breath anything suspiciously like a 'no', and you'll face my wrath!"

Eiger simply laughed savagely. "Your arrogance really knows no bounds, kid! Let me show you what they mean when they say 'there's always a bigger fish'!"
