The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Shrewd as ever, Pax had his men bring chairs for Ned and his valets.

His attitude changed since he was a lot less worried with Ned around—no one would dare make him step down with his benefactor present.

Still, he would have to put up a proper show for the man.

Turning toward the crowd, he said loudly and smugly, "The young man over there is so brave... Every Sunblazer present will be my witness. If he defeats the Four Kings, I'll step down and Hux can take my place.”

Everyone roared with laughter at that.

"Hehe." Frank simply braced against the jeers and contemptuous remarks and slowly strode toward the ring, cracking his neck.

Pax then turned to the Four Kings. "Go, but remember, give a proper showing. Mr. Janko is watching! Don't blame me for disowning you if you lose!"

"Yes, Mr. Barzini!" All four burly men answered yes before striding into the ring in a tidy formation. "Over here, Hux." Ned beckoned at an embarrassed Hux just then. "So where did you find your champion, and how good is he?"

Somehow, Ned seemed to care less about the challenge than Frank.
