The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Still, Kilian's chuckle soon turned into roaring, gleeful laughter. "Hahaha! I get it now!"

"What happened to him, Mr. Lionheart?" Troy asked anxiously, since Kilian was too busy laughing to answer his question.

"Hehe... The brat was trying to be smart, but he ended up screwing himself over!"

Kilian smiled even as he watched Frank wheeze. "His vigor collided with Jaden's when he blocked Jaden's blow, and the poison that was already kicking in inside Jaden's body affected him too! The poison you used is tailored against martial elites who wield pure vigor, no?"

"Yeah, exactly." Troy nodded, still at a loss.

"Well, that fits the bill." Kilian sneered viciously. "Frank did not realize that he too would be affected if Jaden's poisoned vigor reached him!"

"Hahaha! That's amazing!" Troy's eyes lit up.

He had no idea what Kilian was talking about, but he understood the last part and that was enough too.

Frank was poisoned too!

"Well, Mr. Lionheart, now's your chance to eliminate him once and for all!"

Troy urged eagerly. "We just need an excuse to kill him now!"

"Hehe. An excuse? We don't need one now."

Kilian chuckled and stepped on Troy's shoulder as he vaulted down toward Frank.

Then, as everyone watched, he barked at the top of his lungs, "Frank Lawrence, you are a disgrace to martial artists everywhere, and a menace to society! In the name of Troy Bearson, the head of the Bearson family, I will get rid of you for good, for the sake of this city and this country!"

"Huh?"

Kilian's declaration left Troy doing a double take, and he almost sprang to his feet when he realized what had just happened.

Kilian was certainly cunning, only stepping up when Frank was going to die!

The man's wit was really without comparison, but it was fine by Troy.

If anything, he was laughing

too-once Frank died, Lanecorp

would crumble with him, and the net

of Zamri would fall to Bearson Group!

That meant he successfully accomplished the mission that Volsung Sect had tasked him with, while he received plenty of goodies on the side.

And that was plenty enough.

"Bearson Group is really amazing, standing up against injustice! That's why they're comrades of the Favonis!"

"Mr. Troy Bearson is more than a CEO. He's also a man of principles, haven't you heard?"

"He will see to it that Jaden Favoni finds justice!"

"It's a major feat, ridding the city of Zmmri of such a menace!'

While Bearson's hired provocateurs enthusiastically bootlicked him, Troy certainly felt buoyed as everyone gazed upon him with worshipful reverence. én.swnovels.net

"Pfft..."

However, while Kilian turned serious and was ready to deal the killing blow on Frank, he snickered even as the crowd was not watching.

"Kilian Lionheart of Volsung Sect," he said, his face pale even as he remained on one knee. "It really wasn't easy luring you out."Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"What?!" Kilian watched in shock as Frank slowly stood up-what was going on here?!
