The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu

Yosil was willing to take in Frank as a promising talent, and he would deal with Kairo and the others according to the usual process.

But now, with Kairo bringing up the bet between him and Frank, things became delicate.

If Frank were to admit defeat today, kneel, and even lick Kairo's shoe, he might never lift his head again.

The psychological impact on Frank could be devastating. It could potentially hinder his future focus on medicine and become a haunting obstacle to his growth.

And these were just the factors affecting Frank. If Yosil forcefully recruited him, the older man would also have to face the brutal reality that an apprentice of Kornac's Keep had knelt to an apprentice of Cloudnine Sect and even licked his shoes.

Just the reputation of this spreading would be unbearable for Yosil, let alone the other elders of Kornac's Keep. The running of Kornac's Keep was not a dictatorship, and Yosil was not the sole elder in charge. So, anything that damaged Kornac's Keep's reputation would be vehemently opposed by the elders.

After careful consideration, Yosil looked at Kairo and advised, "Kairo, Frank is already heavily poisoned and in a fragile state. Your bet was just a joke, wasn't it?

"Didn't you just say that asking a man who is on the brink of death to kneel and lick your shoe would bring bad luck?"
