"That's true!" Jada exclaimed. "But since there is a nuclear deterrent, nuclear force is basically irrelevant, so you'd still be invincible!"

Frank ignored that and said, "We'd be short handed after Higo Soldi and the others leave. Recall more Cerulean Summit Legionnaires, and I'll grant them the power of the spiritron vein so that you'd have more manpower under your command."

"Yes, Mr. Frankton."

Frank then returned to his seat, asking, "So, what's going on with those out-of-state investors?"

"I knew you'd ask!" Jada smiled. "I straightened them out, and they promptly caved. But since they realized they'd lose in a physical confrontation, they switched to competing in trade again."noveldrama

Frank nodded. "If that's all they're doing, then we'll have to keep our distance."

Jada smiled and nodded. "I know that. As long as they aren't hurting anyone, we don't have to make things bloody. There's always a way to deal with insects."

Frank nodded, satisfied. "Where's Callie and the others?"

"Ms. Ingram went home, and Nadia left for market research, while Callie said her boss was coming, so she had to go."

"Got it. Now get Sally York..."

Even as Frank finished, Sally entered. "Don't worry. I'm here! The spiritron vein told me you got something new, and I'm here to help!"

She walked up to Frank, holding out her palm to reveal the calluses growing all over it. She had clearly worked hard for a long time for her research.

Still, Frank did not waste his breath and passed her the necklace. "The spiritron vein said that it belongs to its previous master, so be thorough-don't miss out on any detail."

"Don't worry. This is my speciality!"

And with those words, Sally left, after which Jada wheeled on Sue "Ms. Fisher, isn't it time you leave too? This is Frankton Tower, not your home."

Sue gaped. "You know me?"

"I don't." Jada shrugged. "But we have eyes in the karaoke bar, and it was really easy asking for information about you."

"Really? Then you should know that I'm a free spirit who does whatever I want, and no one gets to say otherwise!"

As things tensed between the ladies, Frank growled, "Quit it. Don't you have enough problems already?" As both women shut up, Frank added, "Sue can stay if she wants."

"What?!" Jada exclaimed. "She's Tim Fisher's daughter! Who knows if she's committing corporate espionage as we speak?!"

Frank was not sure if he should laugh or cry. "Being serious toward everything is fine, but don't overdo it!" In the end, Frank knew Sue well enough.

First of all, she would never help her father, given their family's circumstances.

As for the second... She was

interested in him, and as lovesick as she was, she had even less reason

to be controlled by her te

"Got it!" Jada rolled her eyes at Sue, as if to say she had better not fall to her hands, or she would make it

hurt!

Sue could naturally read Jada's

intention and did not shy from

retorting, "Don't label everyone as the villain, Ms. Turin. And with the way you put it, shouldn't I suspect your motives too?"
