The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 663

Maron was endlessly pompous, clearly saying all he could to provoke Frank.

"It just happens that I have a guest from Morhen, but how do I put this? We can't afford to upset her."

Maron sighed, shaking his head dramatically as he walked circles around Frank. "She's so hot, but she's also too powerful. She'd just kill me if I try to force myself on her—that's why I need a fearless champion, and one who has nothing to do with Sage Lake Sect to take her down. But I don't mean to hurt her, I just want to incapacitate her—ideally unconscious."

"After that, leave everything to me," he finished, clapping Frank on the shoulder and patting his cheek. "I'm counting on you, Mr. Lawrence! If you do, I'll..."

Maron trailed off as he switched gears. "Hold on, letting off a martial elite like you so easily is a waste. Let's do it this way instead—I have five hostages, but you can pick the one I release while I release each of them after you fulfill a task for me. Generous, aren't I? That's decided!"

"Keep talking all you want. There's all the time for you to regret it." Maron snorted and strode off with Elder Huxley and Elder Randel.

The Sage Lake Sect apprentices kept Frank surrounded as they entered the enclave.

Sage Lake Sect was certainly worthy of its hundred-year history.

Not only did they own all of Sage Lake Hill, but Frank also saw a vast square as soon as he entered the enclave, where countless apprentices were training.

Various stairs leading to different places branched away from the square, leading to the conclave, barracks, shrine, and dojo.

Frank was led toward the conclave, and he could hear Maron laughing even before he entered. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Lady Silverbell. I was held back tending to some mundane issues concerning my apprentices—I can only ask for your understanding.”

As Frank strode into the conclave, Frank quickly saw Maron on the main seat, with a woman seated in the guest's chair.

Her white silky dress made it appear as if she was shrouded in mist.
