The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 2576

"Free?'

Marika's tone was cold. "Sure, we're free, but what about the civilians you butchered?"

Stunned, the cabal geezers cried, "What are you saying, Marika?! Don't believe that brat—you have to trust us on this!"

"How could I trust you, when the evidence has proven otherwise?" Marika growled, charging ghostfire over her palm.

The geezers traded glances. "Y-Your powers returned?"

"Of course. I've been tasked by that gentleman to bring you to justice!"

Even as the geezers understood their situation and considered how righteous Marika was, they decided that begging was pointless.

With a quick exchange of glances, they all leapt toward her in attack.

Seeing that she stood no chance, Marika turned to run, and the geezers all gave chase, eventually cornering her in a narrow alley.

"What do you want?" she growled coolly.

"What, you ask? See, the truth is that we're definitely the type of person you hate the most! And now that you've found out about that, we have no choice but to wipe you out!"

"Don't worry. We're not going to defile you, seeing that we've spent so much time together. It'll soon be over."

Marika sighed. "I was such an idiot for trusting all of you all this while, only to be betrayed… But I don't get it. What's your reason in turning against the teachings of our mentor? It's not like you don't have money. Why do you have to hurt people for it?"

The geezers laughed. "Do you understand what greed is? Unlike you, we don't have noble ideals and are no different than the next person. Don't blame us for wanting to become kings of the underbelly!"

They charged at Marika as soon as they finished, only for another Marika to show up.
