"Tch."
Vicky was folding her arms before her chest, pouting unhappily as she watched Frank leave her and head into the hotel alone. "You keep saying one thing but doing another... Hmph!"
Frank naturally heard that but pretended not to hear her and hurried away.
The night passed serenely, and by the next morning, Frank had more or less recovered from pent-up fatigue after recovering for a night.
He examined his body to find that while most of his injuries were healed, there were still lingering conditions, though none of it would affect his combat ability.
However, his phone rang just as he was about to leave and find Vicky.
It was a call from an unfamiliar number, which left Frank perplexed as he did not give anyone other than close acquaintances his number.
Still, he answered and heard a voice speaking broken Draconian, "Hello, Mr. Lawrence."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
It was obviously a foreigner, and Frank promptly demanded, "Who are you? How did you get my number?"
"Calm down, Mr. Lawrence. I mean no harm."
The voice then paused before chuckling. "You can call me Mobius, and I got your number from Nux Hamner. I do apologize for imposing." "Mr. Mobius, I see... And why would you be looking for me?"
Frank's tone was quite rude despite Mobius' refined politeness, because Frank was convinced he had no ties with any foreign parties. If he had, it would be the bounties on his head.
"Well, my master, Yohan Bozad, has sent me here to Draconia on a business trip."
Mobius explained earnestly. "Master
Bozad has been taken ill, and he needs the mystical medicine of
to find out that you own a BloodCrane Spiritbloom that supposedly prolongs a person's lifespan, and Master Bozad is interested in buying it. You may

name any price you wish." Content
Frank understood right then-Mobius must be one of the foreign businessmen who had dealings with Droitner Inc.
Mobius would not have found out about the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom otherwise.
As for his master, Yohan Bozad, Frank really had no idea who he was, or what he was like, as he was totally unfamiliar with the powers that be abroad.
However, if it was the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, Frank's stance was simple.
"No, I'm not selling it regardless of how much you're going to pay me," he said, refusing the offer bluntly.
"Please, Mr. Lawrence-you can't decide right away."
Mobius, however, chuckled. "As
Master Bozad would say, everything in this world comes at a cost, and having a cost means it can be

traded. therefore believe that you're refusing because we're not paying you enough in return. In that case, may I ask what you would like?"
Frank's interest was actually stoked, as the foreign businessman had a point.
Still, he scoffed. "What if I told you I want the fall of the Lionhearts? How about that? Can your master accomplish that?" "The Lionhearts?"
Frank rubbed his chin in turn, inwardly impressed that the Lionhearts had partnered with foreign parties as well.
They really were a handful!
"In that case, there's nothing more to discuss," Frank said quietly. "I will never sell the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom because it is exceedingly valuable. You should just give up already."
