The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Bang!

Assisted by the black flash, Mobius used his hand to parry Frank's lethal strike.

Even so, the monumental force that struck him sent him flying, crashing through a table and coughing blood.

"Huh?"

Frank was surprised as he watched Mobius wipe the blood off his mouth and got to his feet again.

However, he was not surprised by Mobius' skill but by the black flash wherever Frank's hits threatened to land, taking the brunt of the damage.

Frank had never seen such a black flash either, but he soon remembered Yohan Bozad, the name that Silverbell had mentioned.

"Is that godforce?" he murmured, narrowing his eyes.

"Ahem..."

On the other hand, Mobius was wiping the bloody foam from his mouth, a look of trauma showing in his eyes.

Even if the black flash took the brunt of the damage for him, Frank's power was so horrific that he was still hopelessly outmatched. Perhaps one must expect nothing less from a man who had an S-class bounty on his head abroad. Sneaking a look at the glass wall and getting a flash of inspiration just then, he sheathed his rapier as Frank looked on and slowly raised his hand.

"I surrender, Mr. Lawrence," he said with a look of admiration. "So that's why you have a S-class bounty on your head. I never stood a chance." Frank was surprised that Mobius was giving up already.

Still, it made sense just two strikes were enough to hurt Mobius, and he had godforce's protection on top of that.

A few more blows, and Mobius was not going to live-surrendering was therefore the smart choice here.

However...

"You didn't hesitate when you tried to kill me, but you're already surrendering now? Don't you think you're making light of me here?"

Mobius smiled, as if he knew that

Frank would say that. "Mr. Lawrence,

I serve Yohan Bozad. Kill me, and he'll kill you... In fact, if he came

ove

personally, even your fa

Lord of the Southern

Woods-wouldn't survive his wrath.

"That's why letting me go is for your own good. I'm sure you're not stupid enough to kill me."

Holding out a palm at Frank, he then smiled, flashing his sharp fangs as he continued. "Now, please hand over the spiritron vein, the Celestial Dew, and the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom in your possession. Then we can go our separate ways, and I won't try anything against you... or else.

"Even if I can't handle you, your family is still easy pickings... I heard that Helen Lane of Lanecorp is your better half, yes?" Frank's cheek twitched, and he rasped coolly, "Did you really think that I won't kill you?"

"Sure you can."

Mobius shrugged. "But you'll have to pay the price for that. Master Bozad and I are connected by godforce, and he'd know who killed me. So hand over everything now if you

don't want further trouble."

Crack...

Frank clenched his knuckles.

In reality, he did not want to make yet another legion of enemies-especially when even Silverbell, the chief of the Martial Alliance, was wary of them.

However, it was also a fact that Mobius' pride and glee was written all over his face. Even if he could not beat Frank, he remained fearless, even threatening Frank with his connections. And that left Frank very frustrated.
