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

    As planned, Franklin and Clara headed to the Hospital after their visit to the Silver Clack Warehouse, which was full of unexpected tragedy.

According to information, they were just a group of robbers who happened to see an expensive car pass in front of their hideout.However, Clara had already forgotten about the incident. Although she regretted wasting so many bullets just to fight low-class robbers. In fact, she should have been able to take them out without help.Now, Clara and Franklin were only focused on Frans' recovery.

    The unventilated room, the worn walls, and the dust that scattered when the feet stepped on the floor. It was a sign that a room the size of a bathroom in a rural home had not been lived in for years. In fact, it was far worse than the place where Vina and her mother had been kept. Clara stomped on her lit cigarette butt as she heard her captive moan. Franklin also cleared his throat and slowly walked into the cramped room. Witnessing a man who turned him into a monstrous figure being tormented by carbon dioxide fumes. "Let go of me, you bastard! Insolent brats." Franklin ruffled his waist, watching the old man who had almost lost consciousness but was still cursing at others. Perhaps, that's how it is when one gets used to something, one doesn't care even if one is an inch away from death. "Most people will repent if they feel they are close to death." Franklin kicked Frans' leg lightly. "But, it's different with you who cursed continuously.""Huh! What for? Besides, I've resigne

    The night felt longer. Even though the soft bed was where Franklin lay, since earlier Franklin had been yawning but couldn't fall asleep because of something on his mind that had made him ponder for hours. He tried to close his eyes but the voices in his head seemed to be heard in the real world.From where he lay comfortably, Franklin stared blankly at the window whose curtains were not yet closed. Franklin was used to opening the window curtains so that the moonlight in the middle of this month could penetrate into his room."Mother never discussed anything with me," Franklin muttered. "Throughout our time living together, not once did Mother tell me about any issues regarding my late father's family."The second hand of the clock kept turning and made its characteristic ticking sound, which Franklin ignored. Everything seemed unimportant when Franklin faced Frans, who didn't want to be honest about a past incident that caused the current destruction."Damn it, if only I had caught

Could the perpetrator be Franklin?"Did he kill him?" Clara wondered to herself.The woman hurried out of the building that used to be a place for processing medical waste. Clara immediately ordered the members of Silver Clack to sterilize the location where Frans had taken his last breath. Although Frans' body would eventually end up in a Silver Clack morgue, the location still needed to be cleaned to remove any traces.Now, Clara's goal was to meet Franklin. She was unaware of the unilateral action taken by the man. Last night, Clara also did not receive any messages related to Frans' murder.

Clara wasn't surprised by Franklin's caring behavior - she knew he would even kill someone with his own hands to defend his mother.There was an unknown death regarding Franklin's father that changed him slightly. Franklin seemed obsessed with one thing - the wealth that Mr. Smith had, which was forcibly taken by Frans.

    The woman screamed hysterically when she opened a box containing photos that made it difficult for her to breathe. Inside the box normally used for wrapping gifts, she instead found an unexpected "gift" that made her heart feel like it would burst out of her chest.This was all Franklin and Clara's doing. They photographed Frans's body, which had turned blue and was even starting to blacken in some areas. His body had even started oozing fluids from the decomposition process. The camera photos were printed, resulting in five images showing the most disgusting points on Frans's body. Then, they sent them to the address of the mansion that should have belonged to Franklin, but was owned by Frans.Of course, they were now smirking as they witnessed how frustrated Frans's wife was - who happened to be Franklin's aunt.

    After a long and tense journey, Clara finally arrived in front of the Franklin family home. She glanced at Franklin in the passenger seat, who still looked tired and shaken by all the events they had just gone through.

After everything that had happened, this meeting felt like a miracle. Meanwhile, Clara looked at Franklin with a mixture of relief, anger, and anxiety. The tears she had been holding back now began to well up in her eyes."Franklin... Are you okay?" Clara's voice sounded hoarse, full of emotion.
