The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

Frank nodded in understanding-it seemed that he was being paranoid.

While Monte's twin's ear might appear strange, he just had to hide it with a scarf.

That being said, would he really have to steal Monte's photo if he looked identical to Monte?

It just did not make sense!

Still, Frank told Robbie, "It doesn't matter what you were doing before. We welcome you with open arms if you only work on your research, and we can also assure you that you're free from any distractions.

"When it comes to troublemakers, there's only one way to deal with them."noveldrama

Frank gestured across his neck before continuing, "That being said, if you aren't content with the current conditions and overstep, I still wouldn't spare you."

Robbie nodded. "I understand, and don't worry-that's why I'm here. It's calm here, unlike abroad, so it's an ideal work environment. I definitely won't step on anyone's toes."

And with that, the discussion was over.

As Frank and Sue sent Robbie back to the research lab, however, Frank sensed something strange as he alighted.

Pushing Robbie out of the way, he reached out and snatched a throwing knife out of thin air!

"What?!" Sue exclaimed in shock.

Frank did not stop to think however.

He turned, and promptly spotted someone leaping over rooftops as they fled toward the north!

"Take Robbie to Higo Soldi! Don't do anything else!" he barked as he started to chase.

"Okay!"

Soon, Frank reached the outskirts of Shanton, arriving outside a rundown temple.

A man in rags soon emerged.

While he looked like a beggar, there was brimming confidence in his eyes, as if Frank was nothing to him!

"Who are you?!"

Frank strode up, posturing for a fight.

"Don't be too surprised, Mr.

Frankton! The beggar smiled. "I know you, and that I'd never win against you. I certainly have no reason to bite off more than can chew!"

"Then what do you want?" Frank demanded coolly.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My codename is Zemo, and I'm under orders from Ace to see you! He said that he'll talk as long as you beat his challenge, and I can tell you that Ace is Monte Petale's twin whom you're looking for!"

"Interesting!" Frank decided to humor Zemo, seeing that he meant no harm. "And what's the challenge?"

"You have five minutes to find Ace!"

Frank nodded. "Interesting. Challenge accepted!"

And with that, he vaulted away, while Zemo sat meditatively on the ground.

He was certainly puzzled as to why Frank would accept the challenge-the world was so big that Ace could hide himself for five years, let alone five minutes.

The man could just say that he did not want to meet Frank outright, but he had to do this instead. Everyone was going to suffer if he got on Frank's nerves!

Still, even as various thoughts crossed Zemo's mind, Frank returned with a man slung over his shoulder.

And it was none other than Ace himself!

"H-How did you find him?!" Zemo exclaimed in shock.

Frank chuckled. "The fact that you made it a challenge meant that he's definitely nearby. And with the all-seeing eye I have, I can find anyone-finding him is perfectly logical."

Zemo clapped and sighed. "You really are one of a kind! Well, now that you've met each other, take your time—I'll be going if there's nothing else."

And with those words, Zemo left.

Frank then flung Ace on the ground and saw that he did look identical to Monte, aside from the missing ear.

It was just as he had predicted.

Frank had found him drunk at a karaoke bar, and he was too intoxicated to wake

up.

Still, Frank placed a hand on him, infusing him with spiritrons to sober him up.
