Suddenly, an unfamiliar man stopped him in his tracks. The man stared at Franklin sharply, as if he wanted to punch a hole in his head with just a stare.

"Are you Franklin?" the man asked in a cold tone.

Franklin nodded in confusion. "Yes, I am. How can I help you?"

The man snorted. "I'm Ronald. Clara's friend."

At the mention of Clara's name, Franklin was instantly alert. He had never heard Clara mention Ronald's name before.

"Oh, Clara's friend. Nice to meet you, Ronald," Franklin said trying to be friendly.

Ronald didn't return Franklin's hospitality. Instead, he grabbed Franklin by the collar and pushed him against the nearest wall.
