The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Since the party involved had put it that way, Frank had even less reason to obsess with the grudge.

To be honest, he appreciated people like Massam-that abstinence may be a flaw to others, but a rarity for Frank.

Returning to Massam, he said, "You have two choices. Either lead Princely Sword School into joining Mystic Sky Guild, or—"

"Or death?" Massam smiled coolly. "I'm afraid I refuse to lose, as I embody the honor of Princely Sword School that has lasted centuries. Don't you think that surrendering is ignoring the tenets of our predecessors?

"Do whatever you want we shall never surrender!"

Meanwhile, the apprentices of Princely Sword School were left watching helplessly.

Even if Massam wanted to fight to the death, they were really reluctant to do it.

While they were resolved to die earlier, it was only because they believed they had a shot at winning.

And now that it was clear they were never going to win, their deaths would be simply pointless-so why bother?

If word ever got out, people would just laugh at them for their stupidity!

Not only would they fail to bring Princely Sword School back from the brink, but they would be embarrassing their predecessors.

That was why they would definitely not do this! No chance at all!

"Forget it. He's just that much stronger-we really don't have to get so uppity against him! It's fine to just surrender!"noveldrama

"Exactly. Knowing when to back down is the mark of wisdom-who knows, we might be able to win against him in the future."

"I heard that other major groups have joined Mystic Sky Guild. Why fuss over it?"

However, Massam was simply not giving in no matter what they saw, leaving them exasperated.

As they were ready to argue again, Frank suddenly spoke. "Ms. Kon, it isn't polite

to cut someone off while they're talking! Also, the second option wasn't death, but a way out.

"If you're not willing to join Mystic

Sky Guild, then take your people with you and leave Shagan. Go home-move someplace else, just do whatever you like. I won't come after you as long as you keep your act clean." sŵnovel

"What?!" Massam and the apprentices of Princely Sword School were all left staring in disbelief.

It was not just them-even Myra could hardly believe what she was hearing.

Was Frank crazy? They could assimilate Princely Sword School anyway, so why let them go?!

She was ready to persuade Frank,

but Jada stopped her. "Come on, girl-you're just being naive. It's obvious that Ms. Kon is refusing to acceptany offers for the heck of it, but the chief can do it by using this approach.

"Heck, if she really refuses to take anything, the chief could just wipe them out

where they stand. With that gap in power, they really have no choice."

It was only then that Myra understood Frank's character-he was willing to give anyone an option to back off. But if they did not take it, he still had all the options to force them to take it.

However, that was when Massam suddenly exclaimed, "That doesn't seem like your style!"

She was not just aware of Frank's background and influence-she knew his personality as well.

The man was ruthless, never holding back when he was up against the enemy, and would actually torment them if he could.

In the end, he was a savage personality who would never empathize with an enemy, so why do this?

Frank chuckled. "I know you find this strange, so I guess I should enlighten you— even being a saint is to be ruthless.

"If I slaughter your school over a small quarrel like this one, what would other martial art factions think of us in the future?"
