The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"Yeah!!!"

At Frank's orders, the Lanes and the Yimmels all combined, whipping out their weapons as they dashed forward.

"What..."

Nux was left scowling.

As the mayor of Bralog, he certainly did not want to see two factions waging an all-out war in the middle of the street. However, he did not dare to say a word because of who Frank was, and he was just standing right beside him.

One of his guards strode up, asking in confusion, "Mr. Mayor, shouldn't we...?"

Nux rolled his eyes and snorted in annoyance. "What, do you think this isn't bad enough already?"

"No, but Droitner Inc.'s crimes are as good as judged...you'd be criticized if you don't help!"

Nux's cheek stiffened at the man's words. "Urgh... Fine! Go ahead!"

"Okay!"

At Nux's orders, his guards joined the fray as well, causing further chaos.

Meanwhile, Frank had spotted Huub in the crowd, pushing his way through to flee.

He ran, circumventing the crowd, and cornered a flustered Huub in a dirty, quiet alley.

"Frank Lawrence?!"

Huub was stunned when he saw Frank suddenly show up.

He then looked around-this narrow alley that could not fit five people walking side-by-side was supposed to be his escape route.

Nonetheless, unlike the noisy street beyond, there was just a trash can there, aside from Huub and Frank.

Seeing Frank's impassive visage and knowing that he would never win, he steeled himself and started begging instead. "I-I admit that I'm at fault, Frank, but can't you just let me walk?" "Really?"

Seeing that Houb was begging

through gritted teeth, Frank merely smiled in amusement. "You're really something else, Mr. Droitner-even your pleas seem so restrained. But did you really think I'd take the bait?"

Seeing that Frank was unmoved, Huub's eyes flashed, baring his savagery right then. "You've done enough! know who you are now, and I know you're way above me But you've already destroyed Droither Inc., and both my

be dead! What more do you want?! Our assured mutual destruction?!"

"Assured mutual destruction?"

Frank chuckled in disdain. "Why are you so confident that something like that would happen?!"

"Did you forget?! I still have

hostages!" Haub bellowed, sneering viciously. "I can call their captors right now, and if you kill me, they'll find out right away! That means that your friends and family will die with mells that what you want to kill me and see them die in front of you?"

"Pfft..."

Huub's threat successfully got a laugh from Frank, which in turn left Huub stiffening.

"What are you laughing at?!" he bellowed.

"I'm laughing because you're really behind the times."

Frank then whipped out a phone, showing a photo of the hostages, who should have been confined in the basement of Huub's coastal mansion, all now sitting on a tour bus.
