Mona was as cheeky as she always was, giggling, "Hehehe... Sorry about that, Master Lawrence. But I'm calling you now, aren't I?" Frank snorted, but he did like the lively brat. "Hmph. Quit trying to distract me, and tellalready... I take it that you couldn't solve your little problem, could you?" "Oh, that's amazing, Master Lawrence!" Mona giggled but soon added mischievously, "Well, you know my stupid grandpa was captured, right?" Frank was left blue with shock at Mona calling her own grandfather stupid, but Mona continued excitedly anyway. "Well, I looked around and finally found out where he was held, and after elaborate plans and preparations, I made it into the enemy's base!" "And? Did you get your grandfather out?" Frank quickly asked.

"Yo, are you this brat's mentor?" It was a man, speaking with all the tone and mannerisms of a thug. "I'm telling you, we have your girl and your gramps. You know the rules right? Pay up, and we'll let them go." "How much?" Frank asked.
But he could already tell from the thug's voice alone that he was no martial artist, so how did they manage to kidnap Aion Fairfax and Mona? "Five mil per head. Pay up, and you might see them again." "Okay." Frank agreed to it right away.
His quick response left the thug taken aback, "Wait, shouldn't you haggle?" "Why should I?" Frank was taken aback-who the hell is that thug? He was such an unprofessional kidnapper! "Shit! But don't family members always haggle with the kidnappers in those police movies? To buy tand whatnot..." Frank was speechless-the thug's IQ was no higher than Mona's.

"Hey, brat. You'd best cto the rundown temple in Zamri's outskirts by nightfall, or we're gutting your girl and your old man!" And with that, the call was disconnected.
Frank was left narrowing his eyes as he listened to the static beeping, not just because of the comedic duo of Mona and the thug, but also the location the thug boss mentioned. Content belongs to en.swThe rundown temple in the outskirts of Zamri? Frank had a really bad memory of that place.
Just over a month ago, an elderly man with a steel mask covering half his face called to meet Frank there too.
If Silverbell did not take the spiritron vein away beforehand, Frank might really have to fight him, and it was a fight Frank was not sure he could win. Content belongs to en.swswn And now that he was going on a trip down memory lane, he could not help getting wary just then.
To no surprise, when he soon arrived outside the rundown temple again, he found the thugs standing guard outside... and a familiar suffocating presence. Content belongs to en.swThe elderly man with a steel mask covering half his face was right there, right now!
