The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 540

Clang!

A black-clad man's machete struck Frank squarely in the neck, only to resound with a metallic clang.

"What?! Projecting your vigor… You're actually Birthright rank?!"

The old man's jaw could drop from shock as he looked on.

But it was not over yet—Frank seized the black-clad man's wrist and crushed it, while seizing his chipped machete and sending two other black-clad men's head flying before landing with their shocked faces intact.

"I'm here to help, Mr. Lawrence!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of wind as Burt Yorkman, wearing a ragged black suit, charged inside.

He vaulted like a crane before assuming a tiger's pose, quickly dispatching two black-clad men.

"Burt Yorkman! You traitor!" Quinn shrieked, shaking with rage when she saw Burt helping Frank.

"Hah!" Burt snorted. "I've been serving at Sage Lake Sect's beck and call for years, but all of you kept me at arm's length as if I were a common thief! Frank Lawrence here has not only spared my life, but he actually taught me martial techniques too! You're all getting your just deserts! Tiger Fists!"

Burt was definitely gifted—with just some pointers from Frank a couple days ago, he immediately mastered new techniques.

In fact, Tiger Fists was one of the most common techniques found even in the black market. And yet, Burt wielded it with the ferocity of a real tiger, unstoppable even as he charged through the ranks of the black-clad man.

Nonetheless, that was when Frank suddenly felt an aching between his brow and a bizarre sensation welling up the pit of his stomach—his meridians felt blocked even as he tried to project his vigor.

"What? What is going on?" His heart skipped a beat.

Had he been poisoned?!

His consciousness stagnated even as the thought struck him. He could not move in time as a black-clad man's fingers reached his shoulder, almost breaking his protective vigor.
