The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 812

Ned paused upon hearing Frank asking about his father's condition, and his heart skipped a beat when he remembered how Frank had counteracted the nervebreaker that Pax used on them before.

"My brother said my father's lips had turned purple," he explained. "His limbs are also twitching and ice-cold, and he has already lost consciousness."

Frank nodded and could tell right away that an ice-type poison had been used on Ned's father.

Musing to himself, he said, "We can discuss the partnership later, but you'd best keep this pill with you if you want to stay alive long enough to do so."

"Huh? What?" Ned appeared puzzled even as he took the yellow pill.

"It's a pill that specifically counteracts ice-type poison. If your brother has given you the correct description, that's what your father's been poisoned with. The pill will at least remedy it for a few days."

The pill was no real loss to Frank either, since it was nothing that precious—it was just some pill he refined while he was refining other pills.

"Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" Ned exclaimed and hurried away.

"Hux." Frank then beckoned, and Hux hurried to him from his bar, his expression utterly fawning.

"Well, you have your wish now—you're the boss of the Sunblazers." Frank grinned.

"All thanks to you, Mr. Lawrence." Hux nodded gratefully. "I'd have been killed yesterday if not for you, let alone become the boss. I owe you my life."

Frank nodded in turn.

Hux really was sharp—even the thugs in Morhen had brains.

"Well, I'm giving your first assignment now," Frank said quietly.

"Do tell, Mr. Lawrence. I'll run to the fire pit for you without complaint!" Hux exclaimed, patting his chest audibly.

"Haha…" Frank chuckled as he looked Hux in the eye. "I want you to look into the Lionhearts."
