The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 667

Seeing that Maron actually knew his place, Silverbell nodded impassively. "In that case, your application to the Martial Alliance is now forfeited. Only approach us in Morhen again if one of yours actually reaches Ascendant rank. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to."

She started to drift away, but Maron stopped her again. "Please wait, Lady Silverbell."

"What?" Silverbell's expression cooled, staring pointedly around at the Sage Lake Sect apprentices. "Is there anything else you have to add?"

"Certainly." Maron strode forward, shaking his head. "Like you said, my sect's right is rightly forfeited. But won't you agree it's a pity when my father just happens to be incapacitated, and the chance that Cloudnine Sect fought for us would only come to waste?"

"What are you trying to say?" Silverbell growled impatiently.

"Patience, Lady Silverbell." Maron smiled politely. "Even if current members of my sect have failed, my friend here is willing to join and help us fight for this chance, and he's a formidable one."

"Your friend?" Silverbell frowned as she turned toward Frank without knowing but soon shook her head. "I remember saying you only have one chance, Mr. Maron. You failed to take it, and asking for a third party's help is against the rules."

"Come now, Lady Silverbell!" Maron exclaimed in dramatic misery. "What's another match when you're that strong? My friend here comes from distant lands too, and it won't do for him to leave in disappointment. Can't you give us another chance for the sake of Cloudnine Sect?"

Before Silverbell could say another word, he threw up a palm. "I swear this will be our last chance. We will never bother you again if we lose!"

Silverbell certainly wanted to say no but felt that curious sensation from before as she glanced at Frank again, who remained impassive.
