The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

"Jaden is second in Skyrank!" Edon exclaimed anxiously at Chet. "And he's your son! Just think about it—if the boy grows further, we won't just become one of the strongest dynasties on the East Coast... We might even establish ourselves in Morhen!"

"I know." Chet sighed, leveling a cool stare at his brother. "But who aside from Hundred Bane Sect can save Jaden now? However, if we agreed to their demands, our family's cultivation and hard work that spanned over a hundred years would be for naught.

"Unlike the Martial Alliance, Hundred Bane Sect would have complete control over our family. Where the Martial Alliance is a loose organization, we would be reduced to their lab rats. Even if you were in my shoes, would you be able to sacrifice so many of us for Jaden's sake?"

"That's true, but..."

Edon wanted to argue but scowled as he had no retort and sat down again.

"Hehe... Chet, Edon."

Just then, a pale man wearing glasses and a white suit entered.

"Now you're just being mean, Edon." Lubor Favoni smiled. "Why wouldn't I come back? This is Favoni House, and it's my home too."
