The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Frank was not aware that Yohan had just placed him on his wanted list or that two godforce-wielding assassins were coming to Draconia to investigate Mobius' death.

He was in Silverbell's room, explaining what he had found out about Mobius.

"That's all I can say."

Frank shrugged, frowning. "I suspect that the heretical geomancer you're looking for is Mobius. You said that the victims were devoured from the inside by colonies of insects? It's exactly how his poison gas works." "I see."

Silverbell nodded but exclaimed in surprise, "You're saying everyone in the room was infected with brocade mites, including Titus Lionheart...?"

"He's probably fine."

Frank waved her off, shaking his head. "He was only watching the whole time and did not fight, let alone use his pure vigor. And with his resources as a Lionheart, clearing them out isn't difficult, but..." "But, what?" Silverbell asked curiously.

"Nothing... It's just a hunch, but I think Ms. Quill is in danger."

Frank frowned slightly. "She kept hollering, so she would've inhaled more mite eggs than anyone else. She even used pure vigor to struggle against my grip, so she'd be beyond saving in three days, unless someone disinfects her."

Silverbell was surprised that Frank was so concerned about Ms. Quill, and she sounded a little jealous as she snorted. "What, are you being chivalrous?"

Frank actually paused for a moment, as he could hear the jealous edge in her voice.

"Chivalrous?" He chuckled. "I'm only watching her because we're related by blood, and it'd leave me troubled to see her dying soon."

Silverbell blinked, not sure why Frank was hesitating. "You should just help her. She's your relative anyway, right?"

Frank pursed his lips. "You've seen

what she's like. If I go to her home offering help, I won't be expecting a warm welcome, if I'm not yelled at."

"So you're just waiting until she's at her limit and comes to you?"

Silverbell realized with a start, beaming. "Well, it's fine for her to suffer a little. Never liked her anyway."

Shaking his head and dumping those thoughts, he chuckled as he asked, "Will you be leaving tomorrow, since you're done here?"

"Yeah."

Silverbell murmured softly, "Even if our heretic geomancer didn't cause havoc as expected, things would get complicated with the death of Yohan Bozad's underling. But you can let the Martial Alliance deal

"Got it." Frank nodded.

With his enemies lurking in the darkness, Frank was not about to stand out and fight Yohan.

The Martial Alliance involvement would certainly spare him a lot of trouble, too.

And with the important things sorted out, Frank excused himself and left Silverbell's room.
