"Well done, Dorek!" Yora exclaimed. "I'll properly reward you when I get there!" "Thank you, ma'am!" Dorek replied enthusiastically.

The other members of the Yimmel family were certainly smiling too. They had been hesitant earlier, but all of them now ready to stake their claim on Lanecorp after being told that they had Helen in custody.
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Madam Yimmel! Lanecorp is truly ours now!" "I'm surprised that Frank Lawrence would leave Zamri now. Where could he have gone?" "Doesn't matter where he is. We have Helen Lane, and Lanecorp will be Yimmelcorp before long!" "Yes!" Yora nodded and started issuing orders. "Bring the share transfer agreement with you. We will head to Zamri and banish Helen Lane from the Lane family now!" Then, turning and pointing at a middle-aged man, she laughed. "Cadell, I'm surprised your hopeless boy could somehow achieve something so remarkable out of the blue. Once we claim Lanecorp as our own, your family will be rewarded handsomely!" "T-Thank you, Madam Yimmel!" Cadell bowed, overjoyed.
However, before the rest of the Yimmels could pop champagne and begin celebrating, Hagar Yimmel, who had been seated quietly, began hesitantly, "Everyone... don't you think that Dorek is setting a trap? It feels like someone dug a pit and is waiting for us to jump in..." The vibes in the room were at once awkward at his words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Watch your mouth, Hagar!" Cadell was snapping at him right then." you never think highly of Dorek, but he's still a member of the family! Do you think he'd sidewith outsiders against our own?" Content belongs to en.kikistories"Exactly." Another elder of the family stroked his beard and sighed. "The boy can be hopeless on occasion, but he's always enthusiastic when it comes to claiming achievements." "It makes sense given his usual temperament, rushing to Lanecorp to grab Helen without thinking about the consequences." "He's simply lucky that Frank Lawrence wasn't around, and he's quite the fighter even if he's no martial artist. That certainly explains everything." While the other Yimmels were busy speculating, Hagar still did not budge and turned toward Yora.
"What I'm most concerned about is what Derek said about Frank Lawrence, ma'am. He said he sneaked off to Norsedam, but why? Do you know anything about that?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesYora did not even need to wonder about Hagar's question, especially when the location was Norsedam.
After all, if Frank went to Norsedam, he must be chasing after Baba Yaga, Yora's own sister.
But since most members in the Yimmel family were unaware of Yora's connection with Baba Yaga, Yora did not bother to explain herself.
Waving Hagar off dismissively, she said, "Dorek isn't lying about Frank Lawrence's whereabouts-and that's all I can tell you for now. But just in case, you should stay here, whileto Zamri and take over Lanecorp!" Content belongs to en.kikistorieseveryone else comes with White." "Yes, ma'am!" the Yimmels answered at once, acknowledging their matriarch's orders.
After all, he knew his cousin Dorek best, and the motives as well as actions certainly fit... However, he still felt as if something was out of place.
