The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 1858

Moreover, Frank still intended to rebuild Mystic Sky Sect, and a path in martial arts always diverged from a career in politics.

It begged the question—knowing how rotten things were inside Quill Manor now, and as Governor Quill's maternal grandson, could Frank really just stand aside and do nothing about it?

The answer to that was yes.

Taking a deep breath as calm returned to his visage, Frank said, "Tim Cox, Eric Holt… I can sympathize with your troubles, but I have no intention to get involved in Quill Manor's affairs. I have my own things to do, and I won't be staying in Bralog for long.

"But believe me when I promise that I'll tell Governor Quill everything, and I certainly won't allow some heinous wretch to kill him."

Frank's response, however, left both soldiers disappointed—even his promise did not sound persuasive.

One might even say it did not stoke morale at all.

Trading glances, they both shook their heads at Frank in disappointment. "Mr. Lawrence, we won't push you since you don't want to get involved. Just forget everything we said."

"Otherwise, our families would definitely be killed in retaliation."
