Chapter 1766
As soon as Frank and Madfist arrived in Bralog, they were greeted by the billboards and roadside banners. Every single one welcomed the arrival of foreign guests to an exhibition of Draconia's culture, with Droitner Inc. being specified as the chief sponsor.
Frank smiled-what a coincidence, as this really spared him from having to search for them.
He asked a random pedestrian about the location and headed over right away.
In Frank's mind, Huub was a dead man, as Frank would make him pay for all the atrocities he had committed in Zamri.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Meanwhile, Huub was stirring in bed when he received a call from one of his goons. "Mr. Droitner, we've received word from Lanecorp that Frank Lawrence is heading to Bralog with the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom."
"What?!" Huub was more delighted than surprised, and he laughed heartily. "I'm actually shocked... he's bringing it straight to me! Oh, what sincerity!" However, his goon was instead concerned. "But don't you think it might be a trap, sir?"
"A trap?"
Huub chuckled coolly. "And how many people did Lanecorp send?"
"Just two... Frank Lawrence and an old chauffeur, and I think that's because Frank is too hurt to drive."
Huub could not help laughing again. "And you call that a trap? An old chauffeur and a man too hurt to drive?" "Oh..."
The goon trailed off awkwardly, as what Huub said made perfect sense.
However, the goon had also sensed something unusual about Helen's attitude when he contacted Lanecorp yesterday.
She was calm-almost eerily so, even though the goon was basically threatening them to surrender the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.
She did not sound frustrated at all and sounded so aloof, as if she was merely a bystander.
The goon then said, "Mr. Droitner, Ms. Lane also asked me to pass on a message."
"What is it?" Huub's smile stiffened a little.
"She said... She believes in Frank Lawrence."
"She believes in Frank Lawrence?""
Huub frowned as he wondered what
that meant, but even after a longe
while he decided that Helen
on mean that literally. Coher
only mean that literally.
It was clear that she had changed her mind, as she believed Frank did not steal the Bloodcrane
Spiritbloom, and that she was now convinced that Huub had brought a fake Bloodcrane Spiritbloom to trick her.
However, that was already besides the point now, as Huub now had hostages.
Helen might know the truth now, but
what else could she do, aside from
bringing
the real Bloodcrane
vel?
Spiritbloom in exchange for the hostages?
Huub was not worried at all and merely called up a few martial elites just in case.
One of them was Renard Zitch, who was with Huub during the raid at Cologne Court, beating both Kat Yego and Mona Fairfax. With Renard's protection, Huub believed himself invincible.
So what if it was a trap, or if Frank was not really hurt? Droitner Inc. owned Bralog, and they had nothing but men to spare!
