The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 462

When even Gerald Simmons, chief of Riverton general affairs called as well, Burt was left stunned by how many bigwigs of Riverton were demanding Frank's release.

While he might even have released Frank on any other day given his vast influence, it was not happening now.

He was a member of Sage Lake Sect, and he would offer his aid after they called upon him—that, or die terribly for causing offense against the sect.

Frank chuckled. "Let me go now, and I can pretend today never happened. I'll even offer you a place when Mystic Sky Sect rises again."

"You're kidding." Burt snorted. "I'm no ingrate, and not even the gods could save you now."

And with those words, he poised his dagger, and—

Bang!

A deafening crash ensued from the doorway so loudly both men could hear it even from the sealed room.

Burt frowned, intending to check out what happened when one of his men scrambled inside. "This is bad, sir. There's this huge group who just came in…"

Burt remained calm. "Who has the balls to storm a precinct?"

"I don't know, but they're carrying guns!" the junior officer cried.

"What?!" Burt was flabbergasted, but before he realized what had happened, a squad of armed men charged inside, surrounding them!

Burt gulped—he would never make a false move now. Sage Lake Sect apprentice or not, he was not confident about dodging bullets.
