The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

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 Frank enter.

Making Frank tea and turning on the radio, he reclined against his lounger and asked, "You were saying that you'd do anything?"

Seeing Frank nod with determination, he said, "I'm not going to lie-there's something that has been weighing down on my heart for a long time, but whether you're brave enough for it remains to be seen."

Frank chuckled. "It still depends on the task. And I would never commit a crime!"

The geezer smiled, shaking his head. "Don't worry-I may have a skill, but I won't abuse it to coerce others. All I ask is for you to kill a wicked person. That's not a crime, is it?"

Frank said, "Please elaborate!"

"It may paint a bad light on myself, but I had been something of a playboy when I was younger."

The geezer sighed. "As it turns out

there wa

this lady who was bent on

marrying me, but I was

marked, and I refused to betray my wife.

"But because I rejected the lady, her love turned to spite, and she massacred my

family."

Even as the geezer recounted his tale, he became so agitated that he almost leapt to his feet!

Still, he soon sighed and calmed

down. "I stood no chance against her... Well, many wouldn't either.

That was why I couldn't have met

revenge even now. But if you can help me, success notwithstanding, I will help you. Even if it's just an

attempt, and as long as you make it back alive."

Frank stood up "In that case, can you tell me where that woman lives?"

The geezer took a note out of his pocket and passed it to Frank, who read it before returning it.

Then, he took a cab to a village in the outskirts of the city.

As soon as he reached it, he sensed something unusual-there were at least twenty Ascendant ranked individuals here!noveldrama

Frank smirked. You never know what people lived within the quieter reaches of the world, and this mysterious group was a perfect example.

Even as the thought crossed his mind, a man leapt in his way. "Are you here for our lady, to avenge that family?"

Frank nodded he had no reason to hide that.

The man laughed in turn. "I'm

surprised you have some resolve despite your unassuming

appearance, admitting to something like that so boldly!" fo
