The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"Don't think for a second that I'm scared of you, Til Tomek," Kain retorted coolly. "If you really upset me, none of you will make up for it-hell, forget your mentor. No person alive can save you from me!"

"And you, Mr. Turnbull." Kain wheeled on Glen as he gloated, "I'm here under Cloudnine Sect's orders to aid you against the South Sea Crow. But if certain people push me too far, I'll side with her to wipe you all out instead. You'd best think about that." Kain's tone left Glen shaking with rage, and he was ready to call in his blackguards to take down that smug prick right then.

Kain laughed brazenly right then. "Calm down, Mr. Turnbull! Like I said, just let me have your nice for half a day, and I'll do my best to take down the South Sea Crow. It's not like you lose nothing, and there might even be a new addition to your family ten minutes later! Hahaha..."

"That's enough!" Til bellowed, pointing at Vicky as he continued, "Ms. Vicky is engaged! Give up already!"

"Really?"

Kain was only further amused. "If she is, her fiance never leapt to her defense despite everything I said, so what are you getting all uppity about? Why do you sound more concerned than him? Don't tell me that you like to watch while he gets busy? Hahaha..." Til was left with his cheeks flushed, his knuckles clenched but unable to fire a retort.

"That's enough!"

Kiki, Til's junior apprentice, leapt to her feet, wheeling on Frank while glaring at him with anger and disdain. "Frank Lawrence, was it?! That man has been insulting your fiancee to this extent, but you're just there and keeping quiet?! Can you call yourself a man when it's Til defending her honor? Go fight Kain if you can, or give her up if you don't have the balls to! Stop making Til take your fights for you! "

As everyone turned toward Frank, Frank certainly realized that his time as a mere spectator was over.

He slowly strode up, stood in front of Til, and cleared his throat.

Looking Kiki in the eye, he said, "First of all, I never asked your fellow to help me. Moreover, I couldn't get a word in when you were all so busy yapping away."

"Also..."

Frank turned toward Kain with a

dark look. "I've always prioritized the big picture, and I'd rather not kill since everyone came to fight against the South Sea Crow, or it'd greatly affect morale. Don't you think she'd belaughing if we're at each other's throats even before she came?"

His reasoning fell to deaf ears, however, as Kiki scoffed. "The big picture? Pretty words, but you should just admit you don't have the balls! I really thought for a moment that you amounted to something, but it's now clear that you're just a liar running your mouth and a coward. Do you think someone like you deserves Ms. Turnbull?!"

Til did not stop Kiki from mocking Frank this time, since he had been feeling indignant himself.
