The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage



Peerless Jackt explained, "You wouldn't know this, sir, but I began my journey as soon as you procured the ring. I was late, however, because Pax Jaric did not pass you the emblem, and I had nothing to prove who I said I was.

"Things are different now, though-Pax told me he gave you the emblem, so I had to come see you. Anyway, I'm yours to command, be it as a messenger or a fighter. If you don't trust me, we can go together to meet the other deputies. It's only right as a formality, while it would also stop me from issuing fake orders in your name."

Frank shook his head. "I want nothing. The legion should just stay hidden-that's all I ask for."

As she spoke, he tore a chunk of his shirt and walked up to Ida, intending to bandage her.

Still, Peerless Jackt strode up before he could, whipping out a small bottle of potion. He poured it over Ida's wounds, and that healed her injury visibly!

"Shit, that's amazing!" Ida exclaimed in surprise, candid as ever and not bothered by the fact that Peerless Jackt had almost killed her moments ago.

Peerless Jackt puffed his chest proudly. "Sally York can harvest the energy of the spiritron vein to create an art wight. This, on the other hand, is directly granted by the spiritron vein!"

Ida was left in further shock. "Does that mean it can heal anything, no matter how bad it is?"

Peerless Jackt smiled and shook his head. "Not even the spiritron vein can bring a person back to life. Scientifically speaking, aging is like how existence is journeying toward the heat death of the universe-it's inevitable."

Ida pursed her lips and nodded—that made sense. If the spiritron vein really granted immortality, would Sally not hoard it for herself?

On top of that, the fact that Sally had harnessed the energy of the spiritron vein through scientific means already meant it operated within the boundaries of science.

"You boys talk. I'll step outside," Ida then said, able to tell that Peerless Jackt had more to tell Frank and left instead of eavesdropping.

As she closed the door, Peerless

Jackt turned toward Frank. "Sir, I take it that you've seen the transfer agreement from Pax Jaric? You should sign it, and from here on out, we can use Jaric Tower as a base to lure the metahumans from around the country. Then, we will wipe them all out in one swift stroke and take back what's rightfully yours!"

While Peerless Jackt made it sound easy, Frank asked in curiosity, "You speak as if you can defeat the metahumans. So why didn't you do that before this?

"On top of that, you're supposed to be guardians of the Shagan spiritron vein. So how did a plain Jane like Sally manage to bypass you and steal its energy with none the wiser?"

Peerless Jackt smiled and shook his head. "We're not omniscient. Also, the Shagan spiritron vein allowed Sally to do it, and we don't know the specific reason why.

"We're not in a position to fight them

directly either. Despite having the

blessings of the Shagan spiritron vein, it was fractional, and we can't

spare that many men to maint

our operations across the country."

Frank nodded. That much was true-even if they really had the energy bestowed by the Shagan spiritron vein, they could not leave Shagan without Sally's modifications.

Still, he asked, "Then why are you still so confident?"

"Because of you, of course!"

Peerless Jackt smiled. "Just grant us the power of the spiritron vein, and wiping them out would be easy!"

Frank shook his head. "Sorry to

disappoint you, but I'll be frank here...

Even now, I have no idea how tonoveldrama

wield its power, let alone find out how I'm supposed to transfer its power to someone else."

Peerless Jackt frowned. "That shouldn't be! Reasonably speaking, you would have total control over the spiritron vein. Why can't you control it?"
