The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

"72 Needles of Banishment!"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

At Frank's thought, all the acupoint needles inserted into Jaden shot out and dropped to the floor with an audible clanging.

And even as the needles left him, Jaden steamed shrilly, leaving Chet sweating down his cheeks as he stood aside. However, he was afraid to bother Frank as he looked on helplessly.

To his surprise, Frank was done with Jaden right then, ignoring him right then as he turned toward the unconscious Abel.

It took time to deal with Jaden's situation, since the Soulbleeder had permeated into Jaden's marrow, and curing Abel was much easier.

Putting his palm on Abel's scalp, he infused a strand of pure vigor into the man before feeding him a yellow pill.

"Come. Carry him somewhere cool to rest-he'll regain consciousness soon enough."

Frank was clearly referring to Edon, but the man was left pointing at himself. "Wait, are you talking to me?"

"Go! Do as Mr. Lawrence says!" Chet barked at his brother right then.

However, Edon appeared afraid to touch Abel.

Seeing that he was worried about getting infected, Frank snorted coolly, shaking his head. "I've already cleared the poison, so it won't transmit to anyone. Just do it." "Oh... Okay!"

Relieved, Edon gingerly picked up Abel and carried him outside.

As it was just them left, Chet asked eagerly, "Mr. Lawrence, my son's condition="

Frank waved him off impatiently. "He's stable, so keep him soaked in the elixir you were using before to help him recover his essence. As for his meridian nexus..."

He could see Chet clenching his

knuckle, but he continued

"It's safe, but he lost

lot of vigor because of the poison's corrosion. He would lose strength to some extent, but just give it a few months, and he'll make a futt recovery."

Chet was overwhelmed right then and dropped to his knees right in front of Frank.

"T-Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" he cried. "My family owes you a great debt!"

"Save it." Frank waved him off, chuckling coolly. "I really don't

deserve your debt, not after I've seen the attitude your whole family took up with me. Even now, your entire clan still sees me as some despicable coward."

Then, before Chet could say a word, Frank pressed, "Now tell me where Silverbell is, and we're even."

Nonetheless, Chet kept yapping, "Mr. Lawrence... We've just been blind! You have to understand! I-I will issue the order right now-if anyone in this house disrespects you again, they will be put to death!" "Are you listening to what I'm saying?!"

Frank realized right then that the geezer was stalling, and there must be some reason Chet was avoiding mentioning Silverbell.

His tone turning sinister considerably, he bellowed, "Now tell me where Silverbell is! Lie to me, and you only have yourself to blame for what happens!"

The air seemed to blaze violently around Frank at the same time, leaving Chet flinching and stammering, "A-Ascendant rank...?"

"Tell me!" Frank bellowed, losing all patience.

"S-She was here, but Hundred Bane Sect offered us a deal..."

Knowing that he could not hide anything right then, Chet shuddered as he told Frank everything.

"You bastard!"

Frank was left incensed right then and was pointing at Chet's nose as he snapped, "I told you I would put myself on the line to save your son, in spite of all our past grievances! Forget not trusting me-you gave Silverbell to those vermin behind my back?!"
