The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 781

Hux eased his knuckles as he snorted and nodded. "Fine. They're just students—I can let them go out of the kindness of my heart."

He needed to keep up appearances even if he was clearly being threatened.

And Frank obviously did not care about that as he turned toward Kat and the others. "You heard that? You can go."

"But what about you?"

Kat could see that Frank had done this to save them but was hesitant since she had doubted Frank, and leaving just like this left her guilty. He was now the very image of a hero one would see in movies, displaying strength and composure that left the girls worshipful toward him.

"Don't worry. Just head home with Nash—I'll be right behind you." Frank smiled faintly.

The way he spoke was no different from how Hux had the whole karaoke bar cleared out earlier, since the students would not be able to stomach what he was about to do.

Even Cid was frowning at that point and bellowing at the students, "What are you doing, just standing there?! Get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes, We're leaving right now." Soren hurried up to Kat, pulling her along while whispering into her ear, "Come on, we have to go. Mr. Lawrence is strong, and we'd just be dragging his feet."

"But…"

Kat had more to say, but Frank raised a hand to stop her, saying quietly, "You heard him. You'd be distracting me if you stayed—go."

Nash sighed at Frank's words.

He would have tried to dissuade Frank too but instead said solemnly, "If you ever find yourself in danger, Mr. Lawrence, you run."

Unexpectedly, Hux cleared his throat, and his tone changed sharply as he began, "Well, I guess I can come clean since there's no ears around. Look—I can see that you're plenty amazing, so swear fealty to the Sunblazers and serve me, and I will forget our beef… Beating up my brother and my men goes away, all of it. Moreover, I'll make you rich and ensure that you lead a good life here in Morhen."

"Hmm?" Frank was actually surprised by Hux's offer.

He presumed that Hux would fight him to the bitter end like the other thugs in Riverton, but Hux was recruiting him instead?

Flashing a vague smile, Frank asked, "What, are you afraid of me now?"

"Afraid of you?" Hux shook his head. "Now that's funny. I have hundreds of men under my command, and you can see that everyone around here knows me, so why would I be afraid of some brat from out of town? You're giving yourself too much credit now."

Pausing, Hux then smiled in contempt. "Moreover, there's no bad blood between us yet—I won't go as far as to demand blood for blood when you never shed ours."
