The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1366

That was why Edon despised Lubor.

Moreover, if Lubor took over, their family would completely fall under the control of Hundred Bane Sect and be reduced to lab rats.

That was why Chet never let down his guard despite Lubor seemingly compromising.

"Chet, why don't we just take them up on their offer?"

Edon turned toward his eldest brother anxiously. "As long as we're not reduced to vassals of Hundred Bane Sect, anything else can wait after they cure Jaden."

"You're being naive."

Chet shook his head, smirking at Edon. "Do you really think Lubor is sincere about helping us? Just think about it—what would the Martial Alliance do if they found out we handed their chief over to Hundred Bane Sect?"

"Oh!"

Edon smacked himself on the lap for the umpteenth time and wheeled on Lubor furiously. "I knew you were up to no good!"

"Now, now. You've got it all wrong." Lubor smiled, shaking his head. "The elders of Hundred Bane Sect have spoken. The chief of the Martial Alliance is actually loyal to the Lord of the Southern Woods, and he's ready to cut her loose after she failed to obtain the spiritron vein.

"In other words, you lose nothing even if you hand her over to me, and it goes without saying that we're not going to tell anyone about this. It's no loss to the Martial Alliance anyway, so they won't come to bother you."

Chet frowned. "Really?"

"Of course—I won't lie to you."

Lubor smiled. "It's a win-win for the family, earning a favor from Hundred Bane Sect while getting Jaden cured."

Still, Chet pressed, "And what do you want the chief of the Martial Alliance for?"
