That was until an ignorant man came calling."I heard you're Ms. Lane's sugar baby," he said as soon as he entered. "How much is she paying you every month? I can give you five million dollars right now, but you have to leave her."The man looked around his thirties, and his suit gave him the look of one of those successful city boys.In contrast, Frank was wearing his loose pajamas as he sat in his garden, sipping tea and gaping at the man, speechless.He had only allowed the man inside when the latter rang the doorbell, saying that he was from a major construction company in another city and partners with Lanecorp.Frank was naturally stupefied that the man would immediately assert his authority as soon as he strode through the front door.And seeing that Frank was stunned, he laughed coolly. "How about that? I guess dregs of society such as yourself would never have seen so much money!"Looking smug just then, he waved for his secretary to bring his briefcase, opening it in

"What?"Helen was obviously surprised and murmured, "But there must be a mistake. Huub Droitner seemed so polite and agreeable, which was why I was fine with him asking to see you.""Can't judge a book by its cover."Frank chuckled. "You'd better watch out. I can see that he bears ill will.""We're just business partners, and I was thinking about using his family's government connections. Since they mean to do harm, I'll just have to call it off."Helen was determined, too—if Frank sensed an issue, she would not waste her breath.However, after hanging up and Frank dismissed it as a brief interlude, the Southstream Lanes found themselves in trouble a few days later.Gavin Lane, Helen's uncle, was supposed to return after a couple of days from a business trip, but it had been a week since he was last seen.His family could not reach him and there was no sign of him in Zamri, and there was nothing suspicious about the people whom he met for business talks either.They all testif

Despite Helen and Roth's pleading looks, Frank shook his head in refusal. "The origins of the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is complicated. And I have use for it, so I won't give it up.""What?"Helen did a double take, especially when she saw Frank's determined expression.It was the first time he refused her, and ever since she knew him, he never cared for worldly attachments.He would definitely not hesitate to say yes in the past. But today he did, and so decisively that it caused Helen's imagination to run wild."Frank! It's just an herb, isn't it?! Are you saying that the fertile soil of Draconia can't yield another?! Could you not be so stingy?! We just want that herb because it's an emergency!"Gina Zonda, who had been listening to their conversation for a while, stood akimbo and snapped at Frank when she saw the troubled look on her daughter's face. "Gavin is the reason Helen became head of the family! What would the Southstream Lanes think of Helen if we don't save him?""

Despite Helen going that far for Frank, he refused to help even though her uncle's life was on the line, and it hurt.It did make sense, however, with the many beauties hovering around Frank—even Helen was herself just one of them, and it would not hurt him to lose her.Seeing her devastated reaction, Frank rubbed his brow in slight irritation. "Calm down. I said I'm not going to give the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to help.""Help? How?"Helen laughed miserably. "They have Uncle Gavin and would kill him at any moment, but you're refusing to give a single herb!""Can you stop being unreasonable?"Frank retorted, "I'm telling you—the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom means a lot to me, and it's not a question of money. I wouldn't even bat an eye if I had to give you anything else, but this is really impassive.""Did you just say that I'm being unreasonable?!"However, Helen was clearly insulted, and her temper flared as she turned her head aside. "Right, I'm

Frank was not bothered by Gina's outburst at all, since he knew very well how rare the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom really was.As a treasure that would only appear once over a thousand years, she was saying that someone would be willingly parting with it?Only Gina herself would be believing such bullshit.However, Helen could not pretend that she did not hear what Frank said.Even if Frank knew it was slightly inappropriate to say it, women never liked to hear them being called unreasonable.Since Frank could not change what he said, he braced himself and said, "Just give me time, Helen. I'll have someone search and rescue Gavin.""Hah! It'd be too late!"Gina snorted in disdain and kept pulling Helen away, huffing. "Let's go. All men are pigs and are always ready to dump you when they have someone new. See here? He doesn't care about you even before you remarry! What do you think would happen once you remarry? Who knows how many others he has out there!"Frank was left bristling.

Roth nodded politely at Frank before leaving too, leaving him alone in the spacious drawing room of Cologne Court.Frank reclined against the couch in silence but eventually jumped to his feet."Helen, wait!" Frank ran out of the mansion, ready to say something when he saw the black Cadillac parked outside, and a thirtyish man in a suit was speaking with Helen and Gina.Naturally, it was none other than Huub Droitner, heir to Droitner Inc."What…"Before Frank caught himself, Gina turned and sneered at Frank. "Hmph. Speak of the devil! Even if you refuse to give us the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, Mr. Droitner here just happened to have one and is willing to part with it. It's really frustrating when someone one-ups you, isn't it?""What?" Frank was left frowning.Huub turned on Frank right then and sneered. "Hmph. It's just an herb, but you're treating it like treasure? How embarrassing.""Do you even know what the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is?"Frank's expression was cold, and tho

The man with the poker-face was flanked by a dozen officers armed with guns, which they trained on Frank as soon as they strode through the front door."Frank Lawrence?" the man asked."Who are you?"Frank glared at them coolly, noticing soon that they were law enforcement officers with ties to the government.He realized it with a start when he remembered Huub's threat.It seemed that despite the modest scale of Droitner Inc., it was still the first time Frank had a government official in Zamri moving against him."I'm Podrick Daffey, a captain working directly under Zamri's commissioner."Podrick flashed his badge at Frank and announced coolly, "You're accused of being directly involved in the deaths of Larry Jameson and Kit Jameson. Considering the seriousness of the accusations, you must come with us for questioning."Frank did a double take. "An anonymous tip? Who, exactly?" "Don't worry about it." Podrick snorted. "We will never reveal them to ensure their safety, while

As they advanced, Frank could feel air getting more damp, with the stench of blood and rot getting even more pungent, to the point that one could throw up."A torture chamber?" Frank asked interestedly.He was no stranger to torture chambers as he met Burt Yorkman in the one at Riverton.In this case, this place was definitely the one in Zamri."Cut the chatter," someone growled as he was led into an elevator that descended below the surface.Eventually, the thick steel doors parted, and Frank immediately heard the screams.And they were all, men whose very will was crumbling under the audible crack of whips, and the sizzling hiss of branding iron burning into their skin.There was maniacal laughter on top of that, along with a stench that was worse than before. And he could feel from the wetness of the floor that it was flooded with ankle-deep puddles down the hallway.The rug sack on Frank's head was then taken off, and he found himself staring down a pitch-black hallway, as
