The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2130

Sally continued, "Then, by sheer coincidence, I also found that tomb under that barren ground and gathered some valuable information through the ring."

"The part that was vandalized?" Frank asked.

Sally nodded. "I guess you've been there too! That said, I wouldn't know anymore than you do—I only vandalized a small portion, while the rest were vandalized centuries ago.

"I treated the ring like a toy as you did and wasn't particularly worried, until I triggered its power when I was examining some artifacts in a chemistry lab. Since then, I devoted all my efforts into studying the ring, while also gaining the financial backing of that geezer you murdered. His name was Machi Godot, by the way—rich, but the jobless type.

"Anyway, we uncovered a method to create new superhumans through experimenting. We managed to circumvent the limitations of the new energy we were harnessing, so that some of the superhumans could even leave this region to a certain distance… But we ran into a problem anyway."

"What was it?" Frank quickly asked.

Sally shrugged. "Machi wasn't compatible with the energy, and his body was shutting down instead of healing. But by sheer luck, we managed to save him by returning the ring to the cave.

"As such, we concluded that even if we could harness the energy through science, the ring does not acknowledge us and will punish us for it… It's a metaphysical perspective, but it is what it is."

Frank realized with a start—it was not as if Machi Godot had been holding back, but he simply did not have the power to go on an offensive.

"So, you're saying that the ring chose me?" he asked Sally.

Sally nodded. "By a stroke of luck, my mom noticed it and sent me a video of you wearing it a while ago. She did add that she wasn't sure if it was yours…"

"And you have set your sights on me since then!" Frank nodded in understanding.

Sally did not answer directly, instead saying, "The spiritron vein is guiding you to recover all its fragments. You should follow its will and become the king of this place."
