The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Sylvie smiled, shaking her head. "I'm hardly formidable-you are! The ancients would not have the ability to fly this high to survey the entirety of Huxlem. Heck, not even modern drones can do it. We are only able to see all of this thanks to you."

Frank smiled and landed with Sylvie, telling her to wait while he went off to meet Jeeves.

Jeeves nodded when he saw Frank. "How did it go, kiddos?"

He was not holding out much hope, but even if he knew that Frank could come up short, he still felt anticipation.

After all, who could resist the temptation of endless treasure?

To his surprise, Frank nodded. "I've found the answer to the riddle! Why don't we go together to check it out, just so you won't accuse me of keeping everything to myself?"

Excited, Jeeves exclaimed, "Do tell us in detail!"

After Frank told Jeeves the answer that Sylvie found for the riddle, Jeeves asked, "Wait, how did you see the full layout of this place?"

"With a drone, of course!"

Frank had to lie since Jeeves probably would doubt he could fly, and he was not keen to prove it.

For his part, Jeeves had no idea that drones would never reach such altitudes, and he smiled. "In that case, you're a hero to the rest of us!"

And with those words, Jeeves promptly called up the other residents, who were as happy as they were puzzled to hear that the riddle had been solved.

After all, how was some kid able to decipher a riddle when people failed to do so for hundreds of years?noveldrama

That was when Lassie returned and smiled in wry amusement when he heard what Jeeves said. "You really believe the kid, old-timer? See, if it were that simple, our ancestors wouldn't be wasting so much time, and all of you wouldn't be hanging around and refusing to leave."

However, Jeeves trusted Frank and argued, "We shall see tonight, won't we?"

Lassie snorted in annoyance. "Then what if the broad finds it tonight? I get it, you're a nice guy, but don't fall for their old diversion tactics!"

Frank walked up to them calmly. "I promise that everything I say is the truth. You, on the other hand... You want the treasure for yourself, don't you?"

As long as Lassie was not stupid, he should be aware that Sylvie's solution to the riddle was right-or at least worth testing.

Therefore, Lassie was trying to interfere with an expedition with ulterior motives, most likely furthering his own goals while making himself appear as if he was helping.

And now that Frank exposed him, Lassie was absolutely furious. "Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?! Know your place and leave, or I'll make you!"

Even before Frank could retort, Jeeves was at once disgruntled. "Watch it, Lassie! This boy is helping-hell, even if he's wrong, what's the harm in going for a look? What reason do you have to stop us?" sŵnovel

Jeeves could naturally see that Frank was helping out of the kindness of his heart, and an upstanding man like Jeeves would not allow Lassie to insult Frank for no

reason.

Still, that only infuriated Lassie

further. "Fine, then let me put it to

you this way-if any of you go with him

tonight, none of you would

get a

share of the treasure once I find it

myself!"

While the residents were left trading glances, Frank smirked. "You're kidding. You're stopping us from going because you want the treasure for yourself, don't you?!"

"What's it to you?! Do you want a piece of me?!"

Unable to win against Frank with words, Lassie threw a punch at Frank.

However, he stood no chance since he was not even a martial artist. Although Frank moved after Lassie, his punch reached Lassie first flooring and stunning him for a while.

All the residents were holding their thumbs up in approval as they watched.
