"Yes, Father," Titus replied, and he turned to leave.
Simon watched as his son left and murmured to himself, "We have three spiritron veins now... As for the rest, each of the other three families have one, one was lost in Zamri, and the lost one disappeared without a trace." Still, even as he mused to himself, a servant entered and announced, "Sir, someone from Hundred Bane Sect is asking to see you."
"Hundred Bane Sect?"
Simon snorted as he closed his eyes. "Whatever for?"
"I''m not sure. But the bald elder ims he knows about the whereabouts of one of the spiritron veins."
"Really?"
Simon''s eyes opened abruptly, his fully-white eyes somehow shing. "Show him in."

Meanwhile, Frank was driving back to Zamri with Kat Yego riding shotgun, while Vicky was staying in Morhen for a while as she seeded as head of the Turnbull family.
Along the way, Kat suddenly smacked herself on the forehead and shot Frank a wide puppy-dog eyes look. "Master Lawrence, can you turn back? I have a little something to do before we leave Morhen." "What is it now?"
"Hehe. You''ll know it when we get there," Kat said mysteriously and gave directions as Frank, who yed along exasperatedly, drove.
They left the inner district of Morhen, heading to a mansion park at the other western reaches.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"What? What are you going to be doing here?" Frank asked.
It was a beautiful spot with picturesquendscapes, and the people staying there were either rich or important.
Given Kat''s modest roots, she should not have anything to do with the people around here.
"We''re there!"
Kat excitedly alighted when Frank stopped the car and pressed the doorbell outside the gates.
Soon, a middle-aged woman''s cold tone spoke from the inte, "Who is it?"
Kat cleared her throat and spoke politely, "I''m Lauren Floss'' friend. I''d like to see him." "Lauren Floss?" Frank had never heard of the name.
Seeing the confused look on Frank''s face, Kat quickly exined, "Lauren was my childhood friend, although he''s two years older than me. We''ve always been neighbors, and it''s been a few years since we''ve met. And I just remembered him, so I thought I could visit him."
Frank nodded in understanding, but soon frowned again.
If Lauren was Kat''s childhood''s friend, why would he be staying in such an affluent district, while Kat and her father Nash Yego remained in that modest vige? That was quite a massive social disparity...
Soon, the middle-aged woman''s
cold tone spoke from the inte
again, "Lauren Floss can''t see
anyone right now... And he doesn''t have any friends. Go back to wherever you came from!"
"What?!"
Kat''s smile stiffened, and she ignored Frank''s confused stare and snapped urgently, "Excuse me...
ma''am, Im Kat Yego. Just tell Lauren my name, he''ll know! And we''re childhood friends, so there''s no way he doesn''t have friends!"
The middle-aged woman snapped impatiently from the inte right then, "Urgh, you''re such an annoying brat!"
