The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



"Huub Droitner!"

Helen was suddenly stern as she looked up and glared coldly at Huub, who was still hiding beside Leino. "You deceived me with your fake Bloodcrane Spiritbloom and tried to pull a con on Lanecorp, and you forced us into compliance by kidnapping my friends and family! Release them now, and we will let you walk!"

"Don't make me laugh!"

Huub's entire face was barely controllable as he saw how differently Helen treated Frank and himself.

His mind was immediately leaping to the worst plans-Helen would be all by herself once Leino arrested and killed Frank anyway!

After that, he would have a million ways to force her to submit, and he would watch her go down on her knees, begging for mercy!

Huub licked his lips at the thought, while a fire blazed in his loins-he could not wait to turn that fantasy into reality!

"Just do it, Godfather!" Huub urged Leino right then. "Just look at how insolent Frank is- you're already being lenient, but he's being so persistent-

He stopped, because he looked up to see Leino staring blankly straight ahead.

Huub was confused and looked where Leino was looking to see that a procession of cars had just arrived... and the first car was really the mayor's car!

Screech!

The cars stopped near the crowd, and a stoic, bespectacled middle-aged man alighted.

He had a mole on his forehead, but his visage was stem and there was an indescribable edge to his presence.

It was clear that he was of noble roots and was also from the military.

"Nux Hamner..."

Leino clearly did not expect the middle-aged man to show up, though he was even more flustered by the elderly man who came with Nux.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He was clearly older than Leino, and while he had a kindly visage, wearing a black coat and a long white scarf, there was an underlying coldness in his eyes.

Somehow, he was looking at the crowd as if they were corpses, and anyone who looked into his eyes would feel genuine terror.

"Governor Quill.."

Leino was himself trembling from head to toe when he saw the old man and looked like he could drop to his knees the next instant.

Hehe...

Even as the old man smiled and looked around, no one would believe for a moment that he was affable. After all, within his milky gaze was murderous intent and the most primal murderous intent at that.

This way he looked at everyone as if they were corpses showed that he must have survived countless bloodbaths.

He did not turn toward Leino even after looking around and instead appeared fixated on Frank.

You must be Frank Lawrence?" he asked, as a man-in-black helped him make his way toward Frank.

Frank could certainly feel the old man's strength-despite being advanced in years and looking like he could not walk on his own, Frank knew very well that he was no ordinary man.

In fact, he could well be a genuine Transcendent-ranked individual!

Nonetheless, he bowed his head respectfully despite his shock

He only made sure to call Hans Schnee before coming here and was surprised Hans would bring in a Transcendent ranked individual.

It was outrageous!

That was when the elderly man called Govenor Quill reached out to pat Frank's head. "Hehe ..I'm surprised you're unafraid of me. Not bad, not bad..."

To anyone watching, it would appear to be a perfectly normal gesture of intimacy between family.

However, even as Frank felt the hand, he felt like his very being was being exposed.
