The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Vicky sighed. "And they're saying that you will work with the South Sea Crow to wipe us all out while we have our attention elsewhere." "You're kidding!"

Frank was left a little annoyed-those ingrates!

If Frank was determined to wipe out the Turnbulls, they would already be dead! Why would he wait until now?!

Nonetheless, it seemed that the internal discord among the Turnbulls was still rife.

After Glen Turnbull announced that the main family would be absorbing the businesses of the branch families and assimilating a large portion of human resources, the main family's authority also thinned considerably.

As more voices now had a say, that also meant more voices of dissent.

Even if Turnbulls' strength grew exponentially, the cost was all too clear.

Still, Vicky asked tentatively, "Darling, why don't you stay at Turnbull Estate for a while since you're in Morhen anyway? My uncle's been recruiting martial artists and other specialists in preparation against the South Sea Crow anyway." She was not sure if Frank was still willing to deal with the Turnbulls' mess, especially since her family could not come to an agreement among themselves.

In fact, some were even proposing to restore Vicky's engagement with Titus Lionheart.

Nonetheless, Frank replied without hesitation, "Sure."

Be it for Vicky, showing Glen his sincerity, or for Ciaran Zobel-his fellow apprentice he decided that he had to go to Turnbull Estate and find out what this return of the South Sea Crow was all about.

Not only was he bolder now with his improved abilities, but it was a good idea to have Kat stay at the Turnbull Estate, so that he could better protect her.

"Alright, I'm coming over to pick you up."

Soon after Vicky hung up, she showed up with a fiery-red sports car and took Frank and Kat to Turnbull Estate.

Having been notified earlier, Glen was on hand to receive Frank.

With him were three men and one woman, whose faces he did not recognize.

The woman was snorting in disdain

as soon as she saw Frank, clearly belittling him. "That's Frank Lawrence? He doesn't have the looks and I can't sense a whiff of pure vigor from him... Is he really a martial elite?"

"Watch your manners, Kiki." The man who was clearly the group's leader rebuked her.

He had a handsome face and long hair, and carried himself with an air of superiority.

After Glen greeted Frank, he walked up and nodded politely at Frank. "Greetings, Mr. Lawrence. Til Tomek of Proud Sword Sect, at your service."

"Proud Sword Sect?"

Frank was frowning slightly despite the man's polite greeting.

He had never heard of that sect at all, so they must not be one of the South Sea's major players.

Beside Til, Kiki was already annoyed with Frank not responding. "Hey! Til is greeting you-what are you spacing out for?! And where are your manners? You're not returning his greeting?!"

"It's fine, it's fine." Glen was

chuckling as he quickly pacified the tense mood, and introduced them to Frank, "These are martial elites

whom I've invited from the Sonet

Sea to fight against the South Sea Crow. Young Til here is a prodigy, reaching Ascendant rank in his twenties and reaching the top ten in Skyrank. He really is extraordinary."

"For sure. There's no reason to doubt Til's abilities."

Kiki snorted proudly, clearly very confident in her fellow apprentice while casting Frank a look of contempt. "The South Sea Crow clearly just some despicable character. You don't need anyone else-Til alone would be enough."
