The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

The tomb raiders' eyes lit up. "Like... X-ray vision?"

Sylvie shrugged. "Probably. Ask him!"

However, none of the tomb raiders said a word since they were afraid to mess with Frank.

After a brief silence, the woman who had tried to shoot Frank earlier asked, "Can you predict the future?"

Sylvie giggled in amusement. "You were just trying to kill him, and you're not scared of him already?"

"Actually, I was horrified." The woman flashed a weary smile. "But I'm now getting the feeling he's a good man! That alone sets him above the rest, present company included."

She was being honest too-her colleagues were ready to let Frank have her just because they were worried Frank would lash out in resentment.

Frank was certainly a real gentleman in comparison!

"Actually, I don't have X-ray vision..."

That was when Frank chuckled and pointed down the passage. "But I can sense what most people can't."

Everyone turned to find little bright orbs shining in the darkness, with more appearing one after the other.

Even as the tomb raiders traded glances, the bats started swarming toward them!

"Shit! Fire, fire!"

Red Shirt had already noticed the cramped space they were in and quickly decided that they would only be safe if they attacked.

He and the rest of the team whipped out their guns, the crack of gunshots resounding down the passage.

But horrifically, the bats did not die when shot-instead, they split in two, multiplying instantly!noveldrama

Everyone was left gaping-that was worse than the snakes before!

That was when Frank suddenly coughed.

He did it just once, but the bats promptly fled as if spooked.

Everyone sighed in relief-thank goodness Frank was there with them, or they would be dead!

Still, Red Shirt's curiosity got the better of him. "Your Majesty, I'm sure you're plenty knowledgeable, so would you mind telling us where those things came from?

"I mean, I can't say that we raid tombs all that often, though we do travel

frequently. This, however, is completely unprecedented."

Frank chuckled. "No evil deeds go unpunished. Heck, it's divine retribution for

when you accept the employment of a foreigner."

On any other day, the tomb raiders would never believe in karma.

But today was really

different everything they were seeing inspired fear, and amid all the confusion, they could more or less

buy the existence of a higher power!

After some hesitation, they all knelt before Frank!

"Please, Your Majesty! Please save us, and you'll have our eternal gratitude!"

The woman who tried to shoot Frank earlier exclaimed, "Just save me, and you can have anything you want!"

Frank smiled in wry amusement-he was just trying to spook them, but they took his words at face value.

Still, it suited him just fine... He could just keep using this to threaten them!

"Just help me reach Elizabeth," he said, "and you won't ever be tailed." "Tailed?" The tomb raiders were surprised.

"By things that go bump in the night!" Sylvie giggled, feeling playful as she mimicked Frank.

Nonetheless, the tomb raiders all bought it and swore, "We will do everything you say! Don't worry!"

After another break, they continued forward, reaching yet another burial chamber.

Unlike the others, this one had no grave goods. It was empty save for a coffin-which was different from the stone sarcophagus of the other burial chambers. The carvings on it were bright and new too, as if it was only brought there recently.

Red Shirt could not help being perplexed. "Strange!"

His colleagues had to agree. They had never seen something like this despite having explored many other graves, though it made sense, come to think of it, since plenty other oddities had been occurring in this particular tomb.
