The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Being quadriplegic was certainly traumatizing for an adult like Hornless Dragon. Not only would he have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, but he would also be left effectively between dead and alive without a source of income.

Unable to stop himself anymore, he shrieked at Frank, "Y-You're crazy!"

Frank chuckled coolly. "I'm sure you'd think otherwise when you're the bully. People like you should be ready to die, so don't blame me!"

And with those words, he knocked out Hornless Dragon with a backhand slap.

Conan smiled in wry amusement at that. "They've really messed with the wrong people, getting into it with tough nuts like you two! Guess that also shows me that I must never abuse my authority, or I wouldn't even know what killed me."

Frank nodded. "Being the best version of yourself is better than anything else!"

The next morning, Toto visited Frank's group just to thank them, bringing along two chickens and a large goose.

Frank smiled in wry amusement. "It's really nothing-we had a part in this too, so you really don't have to go that far."

"Oh, friend, don't be a stranger." Toto smiled. "Even if you weren't involved, you've spent a fortune just staying in a humble lodging like mine. I'm really obliged to offer the best service."

Toto was really enthusiastic, so Frank accepted all his gifts, not forgetting to tell Jada to visit on occasion and slipping him cash just to make it fair.

On the other hand, Moxxi was puzzled. "Why pay him when he's giving it to us? It's no skin off your back, but I think you're overdoing it."

Frank turned toward Jada instead of answering.

Recognizing that it was Frank's way of telling her to answer, she said, "You've been abroad too long to understand the principles. It's called humility and repaying a favor!

"Sure, he has plenty of reason to be grateful to us, but are you really just going to accept his presents like tributes? Don't do that fairness is most important, and no good person constantly takes without giving in return."

Moxxi understood then. "I agree. Also, I think Toto would need protection too, since I have this feeling that the geezer from before would eventually move against the kid. And they say prevention is better than cure."

"Got it!"

In the afternoon, Frank and the others were standing over a ridge halfway up Mount Statera, overlooking the bottom.

It was a vast expanse of hills and rivers that seemed to stretch on forever, a magnificent picture!

The sight alone eased Alda Ingram's spirits, and she smiled at Frank, "

we come here often, we'd be able to

let go of any troubles in our mind. Don't you agree?" swnovel

Frank nodded. "That's why they always recommend getting in touch with nature."

That was when Demi Oakleaf suddenly yelled from behind, "Give me back my phone! You obviously stole it from me!"

They turned to find that Demi was grabbing a rattish-looking man, preventing him from leaving.noveldrama

He was indeed a pickpocket who had just stolen from Demi, but there was no chance of him admitting to it in public.

Instead, he snapped at Demi, "Just look at what you're wearing! Why would I steal from someone as poor as you?!"

Demi was not cowed, even smirking. "Even monks own Ferraris these days, let alone me! So hand over my phone, or I'll make you!"

The pickpocket got annoyed just then. "You want a piece of me, huh?!"

He raised his hand, ready to hit Demi, only for Frank to suddenly appear and catch him by his wrist.

Unable to free himself, the

pickpocket launched a kit at Frank's

stomach, but only for Frank to flick

his other hand and leave him in

agony in his calves! swnovel

Shocked but unable to free himself, the pickpocket decided to make a scene and yelled, "Help! Look here, everyone! He's hurting me in public! Is no one going to help?!" swnovel.net

It stroked the tourists' sense of righteousness, and they quickly flocked around them.

"What's wrong here, kid? Let him go already!"
