"What? Five million?!" Noel eximed, stunned by the number.


    As Draconia''s top actress, while she could be nitpicky when it came to her clothes'' designs, it was still ridiculous that a modest manufacturer would demand five million dors from her. While it was not that much money to her, giving it to a man like Urian left her more or less sick.


    And seeing that Noel was shocked, Urian quickly came clean and added seriously, "Trust me, Ms. York. You don''t have much time-just take my deal, and you''d be dodging a bullet." "I..."


    While Noel remained hesitant about paying Urian, Frank strode up.


    "I''ll take the deal in her stead," Frank said as he whipped out a checkbook from his coat pocket, taking a pen from Urian''s desk and writing five million dors on it. "Okay... Good, good."


    As Urian took the offered check and saw that it was no fake, his face lit up in greed.


    "So? Can you tell us what danger awaits her?"This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Frank''s question left Urian hesitant, but he soon made up his mind.


    Sliding the check into his pocket, heposed himself and looked at Noel solemnly, "Take note, Ms. York-this is just the deposit. There''s still another payment due worth five million. Surely you wouldn''t miss this pocket change as Draconia''s top actress, would you?" "Of course I''d miss the money!"


    Noel was left bbergasted by Urian''s greed and almost called him a pig right then.


    After all, she had just lost two billion dors worth in equipmentst night, and she was supposed to pay this pig ten million dors just for information?!


    Despite her usual ir, her rage almost spilled as she barely stayed in control. "Hehe..."


    That was when Frank strode out, and he whipped out his checkbook again. It''s just ten million. Ms, York isn''t stingy if you could do her wardrobe justice."


    Urian''s eyes lit up at the sight of Frank''s check book.


    He basically did nothing and was already raking in ten million.


    It was certainly no different from a treasure chest dropping from the skies, though he knew the risk.


    After all, if he wanted the follow-up payment, he would have to renege on his deal with Chet and allow Noel to leave.


    But he made up his mind-why not take a chance, when he could get so much money in return?


    In fact, it was not just about letting Noel go-he wanted to mess with Chet just by telling Noel all the sleazy deeds Chet had in mind.


    At that point, he just had to let them go for each other''s necks, while he made money with little effort.


    He had countless excuses in mind in case Chet med him too, for example...


    Urian nced at Frank with a cunning smile, intending to use the excuse that Frank was a marital elite knocking him out before he realized it.


    In fact, he was content with that excuse-it made sense, since Noel would not travel anywhere without solid protection.


    And since Urian himself was no martial artist, Noel escaping would not be his fault, would it?
