The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"Blargh!"

Yed coughed out a mouthful of dark-red blood as he dropped on his rear, glaring at Frank in disbelief even as he shook with rage. "Y-You crippled my cultivation! H-How dare..."

"You talk too much."

Frank shook his head and slapped him across the face right then, sending several bleeding teeth flying. "You're traitorous scum who conspired to kill your own father. Nah, you're actually an insult to scum."

Yed would never have dreamed that Frank would actually hit him. He screamed hysterically despite his missing teeth, "Y-You hit me! I'll kill you! I'm the next head of the Janko family! This is my house. You're dead!"

"Whatever."

Frank turned, shaking his head as he walked up to Ned and clapped him on the shoulder. "Go on, Mr. Janko. I'm sure you need to vent."

"Yeah." Ned nodded.

He had certainly had enough of this brother who bullied and humiliated him ever since a child. Even though he had gone the extra mile to make sure he did not upset Yed, handing over any family estate or business he was given under coercion, even going public that he was gay to avoid leaving a progeny to elude his brother's wariness, Yed kept abusing him anyway.
