The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 545

Frank turned just as the doors were kicked open, and a middle-aged man strode in.

His hair and clothes were gray, and he carried the air of mastery.

His hawkish eyes were fixed on Frank, his expression dark.

It was none other than Bocek Ocean, high elder of Sage Lake Sect.

"Dad!" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Quinn appeared euphoric to see him, even scrambling as she dashed toward him, bawling, "Dad, you have to save us! F-Frank killed Uncle Eiger!"

"What?!"

Bocek turned where her daughter was pointing, his gaze darkening as he saw Eiger's corpse laying limply in the crater.

"You wretch! You slayed an elder of Sage Lake Sect!"

"So what if I did?"

Frank chuckled coolly, not holding back since he knew Bocek would be the worst opponent he faced today. "Shame your top five didn't even last a punch. I'm really disappointed.”

"Hmph. So you are as conceited as my daughter says,” Bocek growled, quickly composing himself. "You have now murdered three vital figures of Sage Lake Sect, and there's no way for you to make amends now... But!"

Bocek withdrew his death aura as he narrowed his eyes and added slyly, "Sage Lake Sect is always understanding. Give up all your techniques, cripple your meridian nexus, and come with me to Sage Lake Sect to mourn all those you killed—and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you and everyone you ever loved shall die!"

Frank laughed out loud in turn. "You're as crude as the words you say. And instead of taking your offer, I have a counter-offer: Have everyone in Sage Lake Sect cripple their meridian nexus and kowtow three times before me, and I shall spare Sage Lake Sect. How about that?"

Bocek sneered, undeterred by Frank's sarcasm. "So you're not admitting to your crimes?”

"What crimes do you speak of?" Frank shot back, standing against Bocek with equal might.

"Fine, have it your way. Get him!" Bocek bellowed at the black-clad men.

They were once again trading glances, some cowering while most too afraid to move.

That was when Bocek added, "Deserters will be punished according to Sect rules!"

They froze at those words, their eyes going red right then.

Despite being a part of Sage Lake Sect, their families were in the hands of the sect.

On one hand, it was called employee benefits

On the other hand, it was leverage during drastic situations.

As such, what Bocek meant was that anyone who did not fight would have their entire families executed.

But if they sacrificed themselves for Sage Lake Sect, they would more or less be earning compensation for their families.

"Die, Frank Lawrence!" one of the black-clad men bellowed as he charged at Frank, weapon raised. And with him leading the way, the others all charged at Frank as well with resounding battlecries, all of them turning into fearless zealots right then.
