The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Seeing that one of the Sage Lake Sect apprentices was ready to run and tell the others, Quinn snapped, "Stop! Master Ocean has spoken—anyone who sees this must never breathe a word! Maron Ocean intends to kill him to claim the title of chief, a crime most unforgivable! Stay here and keep watch. Make sure no one comes in!"

Quinn's orders worked—at her words, the Sage Lake Sect apprentices stood in silence.

All Maron told them was that the chief had been injured and incapacitated, not such outrage within their enclave!

"Heavens... Maron tried to kill the chief?! That's his own father! How could he do this?!"

"I-1 don't know... What the hell..."

"Wait, wasn't Maron saying that Quinn Ocean died too? She's alive and kicking!"

While the sudden turn of events left the Sage Lake Sect apprentices dumbstruck, Quinn herself was anxious too, forgetting honorifics as she asked, "Frank... What do you think? Can you save him?" "Yes." Frank nodded, while subtly impressed at how low Maron would sink.

Forget poisoning his own father—he resorted to one of the worst poisons ever known: the Gehennical Frost Scarab. Virtually untraceable, the victim would be caught in hellish extreme coldness that they could not hope to escape.
