"Absolutely not!"
Huub protested as he caught on. "What if you renege on our deal after we give you our treasure and refuse to free your hostage? We'd just be taken for suckers!"
"My fight is not with you. I only want the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom!"
The voice on the other end snapped impatiently, "At worst, the only person I have a bone to pick with is Frank Lawrence! None of you are my concern, and I won't hurt the hostage if your Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is real as you assured me! He will be freed!"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Still, she soon paused and giggled coolly. "And you're in no place to demand anything from me."
Huub's expression turned cold at the kidnapper's demands, but she hung up before he could say another word.
He returned the phone to Helen and slammed his fist on the table.
"Damn it!" he bellowed before turning to Helen. "What do we do now? Are we just going to give up the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom? What if she suddenly changes her mind?"
"We have no choice now."
Helen sighed lengthily, lowering her head as she pondered. "And judging from what she said, all she wants is the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, so she would probably stop once she gets it?"
Gina quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Droitner. Helen will always remember your grace and properly compensate you since the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is so valuable."
"I'm not worried about the money."
Huub shrugged, showing his generosity.
"I'm just worried that the kidnapper wouldn't stick to our agreement. But since Helen thinks we should go along, I won't argue.'
Helen stood up and bowed at Huub. "Thank you. You've really done my family a huge favor-once my uncle is freed, we will come to thank you personally."
Huub smiled and nodded. "It's nothing, Helen. And since we've decided, let's..."
"Yeah. Let's go."
With that, everyone agreed to follow the kidnapper's instructions, and the rowdy room was soon empty.
Creak...
Frank emerged from the closet, keeping his distance so that the cameras could not catch him as he moved to the table.
After all, he was really curious-was there really a Bloodcrane Spiritbloom in that box?

He waited for five minutes to ensure that Horey would see that there was not anyone in the room and would come to get the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom. to
With that, he walked up to the table and opened the box, revealing the red flower inside with a crane-shaped stigma.
It looked very much natural, but Frank scowled as soon as he saw it because there was no Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.
Forget someone who had seen the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom like Frank himself even Horey would be able to tell that it was a fake, thanks to her knowledge in medicine. to
"Hmph. You sure have balls, Huub Droitner!"
Frank glowered as he closed the box and put it back where it was, and he dodged the cameras again as he returned to the closet.
He would wait there until Horey came and took the fake Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, and at that point, Frank would subdue her on the spot. After around ten minutes, the rush of footsteps could be heard outside.
Frank patiently held his breath, hiding his presence entirely.
He would wait until Horey was caught by surprise when she found out
the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom
fake and seize her white she was distracted. to
After all, Horey would be on her toes right now.
Creak...
A figure opened the door of Room 10 just then and headed straight for the wooden box on the table without hesitation.
Frank remained hidden in the closet, leaning forward to listen closely.
