Ralph explained, "This stuff is extremely potent. It can bechighly addictive with a single use and has minimal side effects. It can keep a person hyperactive for days without a hint of fatigue." He glared angrily at the suspects in the police car, seething with rage. "Damn it! We barely eradicated the last drug, and now this Crystal Ice shows up! It's like a never-ending battle!" "Ralph, is this Crystal Ice only circulating in Savrow? Has it spread to other cities?" "So far, no reports from elsewhere. Even here, it only appeared in the past month.

Find a discreet way to provide her with sfinancial support as well." "Yes, Ms. Bella," Steven replied. With concern, he asked, Do you think she'll press charges against Grant? Or reveal the Salvador family's secrets?" "No matter what she decides, we have to protect her." Bella's nose stung, her voice softening. “This isn't about conspiracies or profit. It's just a small act of kindness on my part." Just then, her phone alarm went off. Bella pulled it out, and her long lashes dipped as a sharp pang of sorrow spread through her chest.
