The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

And with that, Pax breathed a sigh of relief. "Now my work here is done!"

That was when Alda asked in curiosity, "Wait, so you sent your hired thugs to vandalize Golden Lily and set up an elaborate obstacle course for Mr. Frankton just to test if he has the disposition to lead the Cerulean Summit Legion?"

Pax smiled and nodded. "Their first commander is my ancestor, and it's our duty to surrender our authority should a man of Mr. Frankton's caliber show up.

"I'm not going to lie I'm no angel, and I tried to keep the Cerulean Summit Legion to myself. My ancestors naturally considered that and ensured that even if I had the emblem, I can't make the legionnaires my errand boys. Since it's useless to me anyway, I'd rather let your boyfriend have it."

Alda understood right then and was surprised that the guardians of the spiritron vein lasted over a thousand years!

Still, Pax turned toward Frank and pursed his lips. "A last reminder: being chosen by the spiritron vein doesn't necessarily mean anything good. Heavy is the head that wears the crown-watch your back, or you'd turn and find a blade sticking out of it."

Frank chuckled. "You should be worried about yourself. If my hunch is right, Sally allowed your involvement in her experiments because she wants the Cerulean Summit Legion for herself. You lose all importance to her when you give them to me, and you'll be resting in pieces soon."

Pax flashed a pain smile in turn. "I know that, but if I don't surrender the emblem after you cleared all the trials, the power that chose you would definitely destroy me as well."
