"Listen." He sneered, shaking his head when Glen offered him Vicky as a reward. "Since you and your family are so sure I was helping the South Sea Crow, I shouldn't have helped any of you." Pointing at Glen, he growled coolly, "Everyone here has been harassingand mockingever since I came, and to be frank, I've had enough. However, I've endured it repeatedly for Vicky's sake." Snorting coolly, he continued, "This will be the last time. I'll find evidence that the Lionhearts are scheming against you. But in return, none of you get to negotiate-you will free Vicky unconditionally, or I'll turn against you. And you can trustwhen I say that my methods are more brutal than the South Sea Crow's." Glen sighed lengthily at Frank's fearsglare, knowing that Frank was really angry just then.
"If that's the last time, so be it," he muttered under his breath before looking up and saying, "You have my word.

It was such a long procession of cars that anyone standing from the front end would miss the other end.
A kindly, rotund and graying old man alighted in a white suit, walking swiftly up to the waiting Glen while turning toward the servant sat at the back, "Bring in the dowry!" At his orders, over fifty chests of gems, jewelry and every form of valuables were brought up to Glen.
The contests of each chest was obviously worth billions, and given the number of chests, it was no exaggeration to say it was priceless.
Despite being magnates, many Turnbulls were gaping greedily at the chests.

"Oh, I'm really getting senile too soon." Aesop laughed.
