The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



It seemed that the herbs were not entirely wasted on Kairo, as he actually showed skill.

Still, just as Kairo was done, everyone turned toward Frank again.

There were no herbs, and there was just fifteen minutes left.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seemingly sensing their stares, Frank slowly opened his eyes and pushed himself to his feet with considerable difficulty.

"Hehe..."

Kairo smirked at Frank, feeling endlessly confident with the pure white pill in his palm.

Even if Frank had profound cultivation, he was not turning the tide when he had neither the time nor the herbs.

In fact, Kairo believed his victory was assured, while Frank slowly shambled toward the stage to get herbs as he watched with a smirk.

He was actually surprised for once when he saw that only useless mudroots were left.

Still, he understood when he looked and saw Kairo's smirk and the pure white pill he was holding.

The prick had taken away the other herbs, clearly out of revenge because Frank rubbed him the wrong way.

Frank, however, simply sneered in turn-did Kairo think he was out of options just because he had no herbs? Hence, as everyone watched, Frank picked up the remaining mudroots and shambled toward the remaining cauldron.

"Eh?"

Kairo's smirk faded when he saw that Frank was not giving up, confusion and doubt showing on his face.

He had taken away any herb that could counteract poison, and the remaining mudroots simply would not help.

In fact, the layman would probably be unaware that as its name suggested, mudroots had the earth-elemental essence.

Using that against poison would not just be ineffective, but it would actually catalyze the potency of the poison, even imploding it.

That was exactly what Kairo was planning for when he took away everything except the mudroots.

Still, seeing Frank so willingly take the mudroots as well left Kairo feeling doubtful.

And from the first trial, Kairo could

tell that Frank was clearly no layman The man definitely knew that mudroots would not counteract the poison in his body, but he took the mudroot anyway.

The thought process involved was really a mystery to Kairo. In fact, be could not help wondering if Frank had given up and was trying to catalyze the poison to kill himself quicker.

Ira thought the same, since he knew about the side effects of the mudroot as well.

And seeing Frank taking so many left him clicking his tongue.

"My friend."

That was when Yosil spoke with a frown. "You don't have to use the

mudroot. I'll have my res."

bring other herbs from our stores."

Swn

It was a clear hint to Frank that he should not use the mudroot to cook pills.

Frank, however, waved him off. "Don't bother. The mudroots are enough."

Kairo sneered savagely as he watched. "He said it himself."

The brat was certainly stubborn, insisting on using the mudroot... and so, he shall reap the consequences of his own actions!

Kairo certainly was eager to see if Frank could remain so defiant when the poison in his body imploded.

"Oh... Uh, okay..." Yosil sighed exasperatedly at Frank's refusal.
