The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 999

"Oh, you needn't worry."

Zico smiled. "I've heard that there's been issues with Turnbulls and Lionhearts' arranged engagement, and it all revolved around Frank Lawrence."

Emilio realized with a start. "Are you saying…"

"Yes." Zico snorted. "We'll stay behind the scenes and let the Turnbulls and the Lionhearts deal with him. Ideally, his identity stays hidden and all of them get hurt in their conflict. That's when we come in…"

Laughing coldly, Zico sighed. "The Five-Peat Archaeus is a discipline said to lead one to Transcendent rank, a path to immortality. What are the opinions of mortals in comparison?"

"I understand now… Thank you for your guidance, Father."

"D-Dad? Save me… It hurts so much… Everything hurts…" Willy held out a hand to Emilio even as he rolled around.

However, Emilio was already fantasizing about obtaining the Five-Peat Archaeus and did not have any attention to spare.

Eventually, he shot the boy with a calm look and said coolly, "If you want it to stop hurting, you'll personally apologize to Frank Lawrence tomorrow. Remember to be respectful—you don't have the luxury of messing up, you hear?"

In reality, Willy could not even think.

He was losing his mind from the sheer anguish he was put through, and he nodded repeatedly even as his tears flowed.

It was an utterly tragic sight.

Gus Zeller glanced at him and sighed, shaking his head. "Talk about digging a hole for yourself."
