If anything, Sienna seemed to have expected that response from Frank, and she smiled. "In that case, I shall excuse myself."
"Yeah."
Frank watched as Sienna left, pensive since she reminded Frank of plenty of matters.
There were plenty of dangers lurking in Draconia, and he would have drawn considerable attention after he killed Kilian Lionheart.
And Sienna was even hinting that the major yers were ready to move against him.
While Frank was not afraid, he was still worried that they would move against those around him.
Even as the thought crossed his mind, his phone started ringing.
He answered it to Kat Yego yelling, "Master Lawrence! This is terrible... My dad and Madam Zims have been kidnapped!"
"What?!"
Beside her, Winter leapt to her feet in panic, as Madam Zims was her adopted mother, Carol.
They were aware that Carol and Kat''s father Nash Yego had grown close recently. One was a widow and the other a widower, and with not much of an age difference between them, it was nothing surprising. If anything, their respective daughters were keen for them to get together.
While Nash was hospitalized, Carol had visited frequently, bringing him food and helping his recovery.
Then, days after Nash was discharged, they were kidnapped!
"Calm down. Take your time!" Frank told Kat, scowling-talk about his worst fearsing true!"
"Noel York and I have been working a lot, so we tend to stayte at the office... but when I came home today, both my dad and Madam
Zims were nowhere to be seen
There''s also this note on the table, and there''s an address to a temple in the outskirts of Zamri-they want you to go there alone."
Frank felt gloomy hearing Kat''s anxious voice-both Nash and Carol were important to him, and he would never forgive himself if they got hurt.
"Kat," he told her sternly, "go back to the office with Noel, and stay out of this. I''m going to the temple right now!"Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
"Frank!"
Beside Frank, Winter''s eyes were welling up with tears.
"Stay put, Winter. You''ll be safe with the security team here-just wait for me toe back!"
"Yeah." Winter nodded tamely.
She would follow Frank given the urgentness of the situation, but she soon remembered that she was no martial artist, and she would just be a burden for Frank.
Hence, she kept her anxiety bottled and watched as Frank drove off.
On the way to the temple, Frank got a call from Helen.
"We found the spiritron vein!" she eximed in excitement.
However, that only left Frank''s heart sinking-the timing of the discovery was simply terrible.
"Helen!" he barked right then. "Take
the spiritron vein, and get
somece safe with Vicky now! Don''t
''t fet anyone else see it,
understand? I''m busy right now, but
I''ll be right over when I''m done!"
"Okay!" Helen agreed to it briskly.
And right after she hung up, Helen got a call from her mother Gina Zonda...
