Vina refused to meet Franklin, who came to see her in the special psychiatric care room. She even screamed and struggled when her brother tried to touch her. Franklin desperately tried to ignore the pain from the stitches on his neck, but Vina cursed at him."Get out! Don't come near me! Go away, you criminal! Don't hurt me again!"Vina covered her ears and eyes. Not wanting to see who was in front of her, she struggled as she imagined Frans, who had abused her beyond what a teenage girl's body could endure.Franklin gazed sorrowfully at his sister, who was tormented by the shadows of violence she had experienced. Not only emotional wounds, Franklin also noticed many dark bruises, indicating that Frans had been too rough when hurting Vina."My poor little sister..." Franklin bowed his head, holding back tears.In the end, Franklin and Clara were forced to leave the room that had become Vina's shelter. According to the doctor, Vina was only calm when alone in her hospital room. Just li
"Your ID card isn't working, huh?"Steven returned the fake friendly gaze with his eyes wide open. The ID card and membership badge from the Department of Health that Steven had acquired illegally couldn't get past the system attached near the entrance."Maybe because it's old," Steven replied. "I've been with the Department of Health for a long time, and this is my first time doing an inspection at Silver Clack Hospital."Steven was indeed very skilled at switching between different personas. For a moment he appeared menacing, but when speaking, Steven instead showed a fake smile to deceive the security guard."I can smell the blood of the people you've brutally murdered, you fool! Stop acting like you're some saint!" Steven screamed internally.Since entering the hospital grounds, Steven knew that most of the hospital staff were people affiliated with the Silver Clack club. They were trained for all situations. Although Silver Clack was divided into several sections, everyone joined
"Miss Clara just informed us that we need to monitor the Department of Health team arriving today."A young man with an athletic build and tanned skin spoke to his friend. He was the security coordinator at the Hospital. Although Clara was late in giving the order, they—the Security Officers—understood the situation well enough that they managed to apprehend one suspicious person."We've just secured one of the Department of Health members, Sir. Paulo took him to the interrogation room.""Ah, really?" The coordinator named Max had just received information from Clara, but his subordinates had already acted quickly. "Alright then. Miss Clara will be here shortly."Not long after, Clara arrived at the Hospital in a hurry. A few hours ago, she had just received news that Silver Clack Hospital would be visited by a team from the Department of Health. As usual, she would request the membership list through the process of scanning member cards at the Hospital's main entrance.The woman felt
Clara's sour face caught Franklin's attention when they met right after the Department of Health visited him with the hospital head. Franklin initially didn't want to ask, but seeing Clara silent and not stating her reason for coming made him uncomfortable.So, he asked, "What's wrong, Clara?"Clara looked up immediately, hesitant to tell Franklin that Steven had just met her disguised as someone else. Moreover, Clara now had accurate evidence that Steven was involved in the kidnapping of his sister and mother. Franklin might go looking for Steven even though his condition was still unstable."Is this about my mother or Vina?"Clara shook her head and answered, "Your mother and Vina have undergone mental health therapy. But it's still too early for us to ask about all the tragedies that have occurred.""Alright, I'll be patient." Franklin took a deep breath. "But you shook your head, Clara. If this isn't about them, then what's making you so quiet?""Steven came, he almost touched you
Franklin stood facing the tightly closed room in front of him. A room on the right side of the hospital's main building, which was a special building for psychiatric patients, and that's where his mother and Vina were.His mood was always anxious every time Franklin directed his steps to meet his mother. The severe trauma caused by the torture at that time made his sister and mother have to go through difficult days.However, Franklin was most worried about his mother's condition. The woman even had to take a lot of medication because of the serious illness she suffered, which was still the most torturous thing. Because of that, Franklin even turned into a terrifying figure, and his desire to kill his uncle grew stronger."Doctor, has there been any progress?" Franklin had often asked the same thing.However, now the doctor brought good news that made Franklin breathe a little easier."The fear that has been happening all this time is slowly decreasing, Sir. Although occasionally your
"Just stay at that apartment, Franklin. Vina and your mother will be safe there. Even though I've talked to Steven about stopping his reckless attempts to kill you, he might not sit idle and may keep trying various ways to satisfy his vicious desires."Franklin was still watching Clara as she struggled to open her favorite soda can. He doubted this woman was very skilled at wielding knives and pulling gun triggers since she couldn't even open a soda can."In the apartment, security will be better guaranteed. You also won't need to worry when leaving your mother and Vina to do this job."Franklin took the soda can that had been catching his attention, while also responding to Clara's words."Alright, but how do I talk to my mom about this? She'll be shocked if she finds out I can afford to rent an apartment unit in such an elite area," Franklin expressed his concern."Ah yes." Clara gulped down her can of soda until it was empty. "Plus, you've already resigned from the shipping company
Clara managed to get back inside the car as the enemy returned fire in retaliation for Clara killing one of their comrades with a shot to the head. The woman was panting, repeatedly feeling like death was right before her eyes, but she always managed to dodge it.As the road lined with dense trees on both sides gave way, just as Franklin had guessed, they entered a highway along a cliff with a vast expanse of sea. Nearby, there was a fairly large pier."Just wait, you'll be fish food in the sea!" Clara reloaded her gun.After ensuring the ammunition was fully loaded, Clara stuck her body out the car window again, even sitting with her legs gripping Franklin's right arm."Good grief, if your legs weren't strong enough to hold onto me, you'd be the one becoming fish food in the sea, Clara!" Franklin cried out. He was also trying to drive the car steadily.The narrow conditions of the highway made Franklin even more cautious. He even repeatedly muttered prayers to God, which had never be
Anyone entering that old building for the first time would surely be stunned, their mouth agape. Long-barreled weapons were neatly arranged behind shiny transparent glass doors. These objects were like diamonds, closely guarded by the members of Silver Clack.Franklin marveled at the room almost entirely filled with various weapons. Each corridor was labeled with the names of countries from around the world, obviously to group together where these impressive weapons were sourced from.Silver Clack had extensive networks in almost all western and eastern countries. The cooperative ties forged since Silver Clack's inception certainly made it easier for the heirs to continue this shadowy business. Like the weapons they stored on the remote island, Silver Clack wouldn't be able to smuggle them without connections to important people in the relevant countries.Not just guns, Silver Clack also kept various types of knives typically used for fighting, of a quality that couldn't be called che
