The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1940

The lanky Mr. Quaker clasped his hands behind his back as he roared with laughter and strode off.

The pale martial artist who used the claw technique soon followed him as well.

"Hmph."

Mr. Zoran snorted, but he scowled once Mr. Quaker was gone.

He turned and saw that out of the fifteen participants who had cleared the free-for-all, only five were from Zamri, while the other ten were from Riverton.

A look of worry appeared over Mr. Zoran's face right then, and he eventually turned toward Frank, who stood in the distance.

All three of Frank's apprentices proved outstanding, having cleared the free-for-all.

That also meant they were the three out of the five Zamri participants who had qualified...

Without another word, Mr. Zoran made a beeline for Frank. "Mr. Lawrence."

Frank was just commenting on Scarface, Mona, and Kat's performance and shortcomings in the free-for-all when he heard Mr. Zoran and turned in curiosity. "Yes? How can I help you, Mr. Zoran?" "Oh, it's nothing..."

Noticing the curious stares, Mr. Zoran smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands. "Actually, Mr. Lawrence... Are you confident that your apprentices would qualify?"

Frank was perplexed that the man would come over just to ask that, but he nodded. "Of course. But aren't you a judge? Why would you be concerned about my apprentices?'

Mr. Zoran's smile stiffened upon the

suspicious stares, but he soon

replied won't lie to you, Mr.

Lawrence... The Martial Tournament actually affects each Martial Alliance branch manager." FindNovel

"What?"

Frank was only further puzzled by Mr. Zoran's explanation was this not the Martial Tournament hosted by the Martial Alliance? Why would the branch managers be affected?

Mr. Zoran groaned slightly at Frank's confusion. "I won't mind telling you everything since you're close with the chief of the Martial Alliance.

"It's actually no secret, but each

Martial Alliance branch manager has

tasks other than to manage the general affairs of martial artists in each city. One of them is to maintain the local Martial Alliance... or indeed, to ensure the robust growth of local martial artists.

"As such, the Martial Tournament isn't just a test for the

participants it's a test for branch managers too. If the participants of each city who has cleared the joint qualifiers are equal or almost equal, that's fine. But if one city has an

overwhelming majority of

participants who qualify over the other-"

"And right now, the Riverton participants have an overwhelming majority," Frank said, cutting Mr. Zoran short as he could tell what the man was getting at. Moreover, there was no other reason why Mr. Zoran would have that terrible frown on his face.

"Exactly."

Mr. Zoran breathed a deep sigh, shaking his head. "And if things go on like this, I would be blamed by headquarters or even made an example of. Also-" "Alright, I get it." Frank smiled and waved him off.

He understood that Mr. Zoran was actually pressuring him and that the Zamri branch actually had martial elites before.
