The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



"Stop!"

Tidus Simmons was leading the charge, hollering, "Go on, try laying a finger on the chief! Mystic Sky Guild doesn't fear you!"

"Hell yeah!"

"You'll answer to our blades if you touch him!"

Tidus' shout was immediately echoed by the other members of Mystic Sky Guild who numbered over two thousand strong, encircling the hotel.

Their shadows loomed over the police officers and members of the Martial Alliance that numbered to just a few hundred.

Forget how strong the two thousand were, or how many martial artists were among their ranks their shouts alone would leave anyone unsettled, and some were carrying guns on top of that!

On the other hand, there were no more than a handful of Ascendant-ranked elites among the police officers and the members of the Martial Alliance. As such, even the martial artists were terrified at the guns trained at them.

At the same time, Tidus and Scarface Tucker tore through the encirclement to reach Frank, with Tidus brushing his knuckle against Frank's arm. "We were so worried, chief! We haven't heard from you in days!"

Frank chuckled. "I was investigating who framed me."

"Wait, you didn't actually kill the commissioner?" Tidus did a double take. "So did you find out who did it?"

However, his question left Frank speechless. "What, you thought I did?!"

Tidus and Scarface traded glances and soon laughed. "Forget the commissioner! You said we'd be the strongest in Draconia, didn't you? We'd be on your side even if you killed the president!"

"That's right!"

Scarface licked his lips and grit. "Heck, you could tell us you're going after the gods, and we'd still stand with you!" "Ugh..."

Frank was really unsure if he should laugh at their simple-minded nature or be grateful that they trusted him so much.

"Frank Lawrence!"

That was when Stanley shouted hostilely, "Are you resisting arrest?! Or do you perhaps intend to rebel against the government with theseNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

as?!"

Even if Mystic Sky Guild had numbers, they were ultimately gangsters-an illegal organization.

If they dared to fight against Draconia's government, they would be made to pay a bloody price when the military came for them. What good were numbers? Against Draconia's government, the only way out was death!

At the same time, Podrick was yelling a warning. "Frank Lawrence! Come quietly if you don't want your men to die in vain!" "Captain Daffey, Mayor Durban. I have no intention to make enemies of the government."

Frank strode up, speaking coolly, "I've come to prove my innocence and to show the Marital Alliance and the government that I'm no coward afraid to face my crimes!

"And now I know who set me up. All I need to do is to produce evidence!"

"Quit running your mouth!" Podrick bellowed in rage. "You're the one who murdered the commissioner, and we have all the proof and witnesses we need! Do you think we'd listen to your lies?!"

"Then use your pea brains and think!"

Frank strode up, bellowing, "If I really did kill the commissioner, why would I return instead of fleeing?"
