The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 1276
Frank then turned to Gene. "I present this painting to Mr. Pearce on behalf of Vicky Turnbull and the main Turnbull family. Vicky especially sends her thanks for helping her immediate family establish a foothold in Riverton."Gene appeared surprised but soon smiled and shook his head. "Oh, that little lady. Why didn't she come by herself?""She has taken ill and couldn't make it, so she asked me to help.""Well, I'm most grateful for her present."Gene and Frank's exchange left the guests puzzled—why did it feel like both men were close in private?Dennis was watching from a distance.He frowned as he remembered what Frank told him before—that he should not set Gene against him, or he would bite off more than he could chew.Turning pensive just then, Dennis mused, "Could it be…?" Hugh noticed that and could tell what he was thinking, and so quickly said, "Don't worry about it, Dr. Jackson. Frank Lawrence had brought two presents that looked valuable, but it just means the Turn

Hugh twirled a finger around his temple, sneering. "Are you some sort of demigod? The Jade Marrow Pill, you say? You could just call it the god pill if you like!""Hahaha!"Many of the guests present laughed at the moniker.The god pill? It sounded like something a street con man would call their merchandise, claiming their pills granted superstrength, immortality, and immunity to poison.In reality, it was just vitamin pills.Obviously, no one believed what Frank was saying about his Jade Marrow Pill, as they were all experienced—trying to trick them was just asking to be humiliated."Shit, and here I thought we peaked with Hugh Turnbull's fake vase.""Yeah… And now we have a snake oil salesman. This charity auction is killing me.""Come on. Maybe the pill actually works?""Hahaha… You almost got me right there!"While all the guests doubted and scoffed, Frank waited for a long while before saying quietly, "I'm not lying—I refined this pill with a jade marrow. As for the eff

"That's right!" Dennis was snapping at Frank too. "Hmph…"Frank did not argue, as he was keen to find out what those two were up to."Mr. Pearce!" Hugh strode past Frank toward Gene as everyone watched, pointing at Frank as he shouted, "My family took in Frank, but he's a gigolo and a liar!""Really?" Gene quietly glanced at Frank, and nodded at Hugh for him to continue.Seeing Gene's impassive reaction, both Dennis and Hugh were delighted."This man is so full of himself," Hugh quickly continued. "He got Sif Lionheart killed and drove a wedge between my family and the Lionhearts! And he knows no shame, claiming to have saved your life, Mr. Pearce! It's a blatant insult to your name, not to mention he came without an invitation and basically barged in here!""He didn't have an invitation?" Gene turned toward Frank in surprise.Frank shrugged noncallable. "I forgot to bring it.""You forgot?" Gene was taken aback but also quickly realized why he was not notified of Frank's arr

Even if the guests refused to believe Frank, a man from nowhere, Tet had a reputation to protect and had no reason to lie.Even if he conspired with Frank and defended him, once the pill was sold and proved ineffective, his reputation as a magister would go up in smoke—it was simply not worth it.As such, the only explanation for that was that he was speaking the truth.But even as everyone was left gaping and speechless, Gene took the stage with perfect timing.He walked up to Frank, clapping him on the shoulder as everyone looked on in shock, speaking quietly, "By the way, I forgot to mention something—this man, Frank Lawrence, is a healer who practices Draconian traditional medicine. He also saved me from the brink, curing me from my sickly self and allowing me to strut once more!""What?!" Both Hugh and Dennis were dumbstruck, with Dennis still on his knees.Their faces turned pale even as they stared at Frank and Gene, while Gene continued, "As such, I swear by my honor as

The security guards all nodded in response. "Yes, sir!"Hugh's face fell right then, and he promptly turned toward Gene to beg, "Please, Mr. Pearce! I'm sorry… Please forgive me! I'll apologize, alright?! I didn't mean to bring a fake vase! I never mean to insult you, and I shouldn't have bad-mouthed you… Please, for the sake of the Turnbull family…"His undignified please only left Gene frowning, and he sneered at Hugh as everyone watched. "The Turnbulls? Really? You still have the cheek to mention them?! You've already humiliated them more than enough times! This is just a minor punishment—even Glen Turnbull himself can't argue against that if he was here!"Then, looking up at the security guards, he barked coldly, "Do it!"There was an audible crunch from the stage as Hugh's bones were broken, leaving the crowd cringing.At that moment, they came to understand the savagery that lay beneath Gene's usually mild-mannered appearance.In the end, Gene did not get where he was today

Gene was quite the sly old fox, quickly inflating the price up to five billion before anyone could react.However, while Tet had confirmed that the Jade Marrow Pill was real, they doubted that it could really extend one's lifespan.As such, with Gene going all out from the start with a five billion bid, the hall was left silent.Gene was exceedingly pleased to see that, but before he could announce that he won the bid, Tet strode up despite his hesitation."Apologies, Mr. Pearce, but I need this because it's more than just a pill to me," he said and raised his hand. "I'm making a bid with everything I have—thirty billion.""What?!""Thirty billion?!"All the guests in the hall gasped at the number.They were all individuals who were not in need of money, but it was still too much for them to pay thirty billion dollars to bet on a tiny pill with uncertain effects.Gene was scowling right then, but considering that it was Tet, he sighed. "Do you mean to mess with me, magister?"

"Heh…"Frank smiled and held up a hand—it really was nothing, though Frank did earn himself a favor."Sold! The Jade Marrow Pill goes to Magister Boran for thirty billion dollars!" Gene announced.Even as the guest clapped, they were left a loss—thirty billion, gone just like that!And for a tiny pill… It was just ridiculous!Nonetheless, with the pill sold, the charity auction continued.However, the guests were not particularly interested in anything else after Frank's pill was sold for an astronomical price.And with that, the charity auction ended.It was late by the time Frank left the hotel. Gene tried to ask him to stay for dinner, but Frank did not want to stay since he wanted to return to condition himself.Seeing that he was in a hurry, Gene caught his wrist and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, we're basically brothers—your enemies are mine, and I will be there to back you up no matter what happens. Just name-drop me if anyone's being rude to you, and you can avoid what happe

With that in mind, Frank turned toward Gene. "Sorry, I can't sit still and I hate troublesome work, so I can't be a hospital chief.""Really? Then there's no helping it…"Disappointment showed in Gene's eyes, but he did not press Frank.That was when Frank smiled as his tone changed sharply. "But I have a person in mind.""Who?" Gene exclaimed in surprise."My sister, Winter Lawrence.""Winter Lawrence?"Gene murmured the name, and frowned. "Well, she would have to prove herself with her abilities…""Don't worry—she graduated from Riverton University, and I'll be teaching her personally too. She'd definitely be up for it."Gene's frown eased with Frank's assurance, and he nodded, satisfied. "In that case, the new chief of Zamri Hospital is decided. When can your sister take the job?""In a month," Frank said after some thought."Alright." Gene smiled, agreeing to it right away. "Since she's your sister, I trust you, though I must give you a head's up—the head of departments

As it turned out, the white-clad geezer did not return for revenge.People change as they age, along with their mindset, and develop a longing for their hometown.In fact, the white-clad geezer had returned to make peace with his family, and died in their company.Naturally, he was furious to hear that someone was using his name to bluff their way out and abduct his niece, the hag.And so he came with the rest of them, looking for Frank.After all, if Frank was not sent by the white-clad geezer, the only other person would be…-Back at the present, the white-clad geezer growled icily, "Where is my niece?"Frank smirked. "She paid the price for her crimes. What, do you want revenge?""A life for a life," the white-clad geezer growled. "That's the one rule that has never changed since olden times!"His entourage roared in approval. "Don't get so full of yourself, brat! He is different from the rest of us, and he can kill you anytime!""Really?" Frank simply snorted nonchalant

As the geezer spoke, he opened the rosewood box and put an ashtray in it. "I actually don't have any abilities—everything I make is produced from this box. With its help, I can imbue any object with an enchantment beyond human comprehension. See for yourself!"He closed the box and held it by its sides as the box glowed in a rainbow gradient.Frank felt a sense of familiarity as he watched, as the energy signature resembled the spiritron vein, but one different from the meteor.So what the heck was going on?While Frank was left surprised, the geezer stopped and opened the box, handing Frank the ashtray.As Frank held the ashtray, he saw that it really was altered—it could carry more now!The geezer then passed him a yellowed old book. "This is how you can use it!"Frank frowned. "Why are you giving it to me? I can't take it, or people would just say that I stole it from you when they find out."The geezer smiled in wry amusement. "It's yours either way, kid! And after you've d

To be honest, the hag really had not considered that question and was just playing along to her own whims, never once considering why she was such a philanderer.Frank then pressed his advantage. "Your so-called love is but a manifestation of your lust. It seems noble, but it has no warmth or color, and the world has no way of determining if it exists."If I want it, I can do what you do too. Heck, I'm sure that's the same for everyone else—they're just kind people who know that they shouldn't hog the limited resources of mental asylums.""Insolence!"The hag lunged at Frank as she realized that he was mocking her, but Frank was already prepared and pinned her to the floor with his telekinesis."Alright, you can quit hollering now. The more you do, the more you're just proving that you've lost!"Crouching in front of the hag, Frank growled coolly. "Did you think I'd only rely on brute strength to force your compliance? You're kidding—I don't even need to do that with someone like
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 2755
It was just as the geezer had said—the hag had been pampered for so long that she could not tell right from wrong.In fact, in her mind, everything she did was never wrong and was even reasonable!That was what frustrated the geezer the most, and he simply stopped arguing and started whipping her with his belt.Pain really clears the mind, and the hag was no exception. In fact, she thought for a split second that she might have made a mistake.However, it only lasted for that split second—a little whipping was never really going to correct a lifetime of distorted beliefs!"I don't get it!" she cried. "Why do you treat my love with such disdain?! You don't have to love me, but you have to respect me!" The geezer laughed coolly and continued to whip her as he snapped, "That's true! But now, what I say goes—that's all there is to it!"That was when Frank suddenly reached out and caught the belt.It stunned the geezer, who quickly checked Frank's hand, and sighed after seeing that

It had been so long since he had seen his enemy, that the geezer almost fell out of his lounger.If he were to be honest, he really did not hold out much hope since it had been years, and no one lasted more than twenty strikes against the hag.However, while he was convinced that his revenge was futile in this life, Frank suddenly appeared.While he looked like he had nothing but his looks going for him, he brought the hag like she was some harmless hatchling."H-How did you do it?" the geezer exclaimed, presuming that Frank must have pulled some cunning trick.However, the geezer was once again reminded of the hag's conceit as she snorted. "How, you asked? With just a wave of his hand, and I lost!"Turning to Frank, she snapped, "There, he had his justice. Can you tell my uncle to show his face now?"Frank rolled his eyes. "I don't know your uncle. I only brought you here because of him!""No… That's impossible!" The truth was starting to dawn on the hag, but she still refus
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 2753
"H-How did you do that?!"While the cabal was left flabbergasted, the hag was much calmer for some reason.After all, her father had told her about an uncle of hers, who had left the family because they kept abusing their earthbending ability.It was rumored that the uncle eventually cultivated a superior ability, fusing things that would otherwise not be just like what Frank just did.As such, she told her cabal as much, but Frank shook his head. "I learned your technique by directly observing you when you used it. And by doing so, I found a fatal flaw, which I adjusted for."He certainly did not have anything to do with the hag's uncle—he was just that quick a learner and that gifted to wield earthbending in an instant.Naturally, the hag was not about to believe that.No matter how gifted a person could be, there was no way anyone could learn earthbending instantly and even perfect it. In the end, someone must have taught him!As such, she was starting to get impatient with
The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage Chapter 2752
Before the cabal could react, molehills appeared beneath their feet and sent them flying.Most passed out when they hit the ground, while the rest were barely holding on."W-Who the hell are you?!" The cabal had grown conceited since they did not have many rivals in a remote corner such as this one, and they therefore presumed that no one could challenge them.And now, they could not win with numbers against Frank, let alone one against one.Could anyone bear the shame?"What a bunch of mooks. I told you kids to stay on your training, but none of you listened. And now you're acting surprised?"A hunched hag appeared on a nearby alley, looking very much affable.Surprised, the cabal exclaimed, "What are you doing here, ma'am?""Do you think I'd miss the tremors?" the hag snapped coolly before wheeling on Frank. "Impressive physique! I certainly didn't expect you to hurt those boys."The cabal quickly warned her, "This isn't the time, ma'am. He knows earthbending, and he could

Frank's tone was calm, as if he was merely stating a fact. "What's there to deny? Even if I spilled my guts, do you stand a chance against me? See, no one does!"The man was furious—he had met plenty of conceited individuals, but Frank definitely took the crown!And seeing that Frank was not even in his thirties and was definitely small fry, he did not hesitate to slam his palm on the ground, which promptly started to move! "Interesting!"Frank stood his ground instead of leaping away, staring cooly at the molehills that streaked toward him. Even as the molehills were reaching Frank's feet, the man was left wondering why Frank did not dodge when the unexpected happened.The molehills struck the brat, but he remained unscathed!Earthbending was their cabal's signature technique, capable of causing seismic tremors—even if it was no match for real earthquakes, most people would still have trouble dealing with it.They were either torn into pieces by the shockwave, though the mor

Frank waited for a taxi and headed to his destination. Soon, the taxi stopped outside a dilapidated apartment.As Frank alighted and stared at the cracks on every block or the shaky foundations, even he could tell that it was in such a bad state it must be demolished. Shaking his head, he sighed in exasperation and entered the fifth unit on the sixth floor of Block D.He knocked on the door, and a smiling geezer opened it as he studied him. "What can I do for you, sir?"Able to tell right away that he was special, Frank asked, "Let's just call it a visit. I heard you could craft mystic items?"The geezer laughed right then. "I knew it. The nail that sticks out really gets hammered! I just want to keep my head down and live out my days, but you found me anyway.""Please don't misunderstand, sir," Frank quickly said. "I'm no robber, and I'm not going to steal from you. As long as you assist me, I can do anything for you.""Let's talk inside." The geezer stepped aside to let Fr
