"Eh?" Although they had taken the elevator upstairs, the key members and executives of the Yimmel family could still hear the ruckus below.
"What's going on here?" Yora asked in confusion.
Ding.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, that was when the elevator jingled, indicating their arrival.
Since Yora had been there before, she knew her way around on the executive floor, where Helen's office and the board conference room was.
But as the elevator doors opened and Yora was about to ask about the ruckus below, she found herself staring blankly at a familiar face.
Frank Lawrence! On top of that, he stood there outside the elevator as if waiting for them to arrive.
Even as her heart sank to rock-bottom, she asked with a quiver in her voice, "W-What's the meaning of this...?" None of the key members and executives of the Yimmel family behind her answered, as they all knew that they had been tricked, even willingly falling into Frank's trap.
"Welcome!" Frank smiled and started clapping, and the huge crowd behind him followed suit.
They were congesting the entire floor, all of them staring at the key members and executives of the Yimmel family with sinister smiles.
Thud! While Yora spaced out, the elevator doors almost shut, but Frank reacted quickly and caught it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hehe... How have you been, Madam Yimmel? I've prepared a present for you and your family, so please do accept it." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSeeing Frank's cheerful smile, Yora could not have scowled harder.
Shuddering a little as she looked at the crowd behind Frank, she narrowed her eyes. "Do you know who has my back, Frank Lawrence?! If you hurtnow, you... Helen Lane even the rest of the Lane family... will pay!" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesHowever, Frank did not care about her threat at all, even leaning on the doorway, picking his ears and chuckling. "Oh, you mean Baba Yaga? You don't have to worry about her, since I've already dealt with her." "Dealt with... What?" Yora was even more shocked to hear that, than the fact that she just fell into a trap.
Nonetheless, she started laughing despite her initial shock. "Just stop it, Frank Lawrence! You couldn't even reach Baba Yaga-I'm telling you, there's just no chance!" "Hehe... Con, kiddo." And while Yora was flustered, Mr. Noon stepped out of the elevator.
He looked around at everyone present before turning toward Frank, smirking. You really know how to bullshit. Baba Yaga is the leader of Corpsedale on the east coast. Watch out, or you might bite off your own tongue!" Content belongs to en.kikistories"What good would lying to you do for me?" Frank shrugged. "Why don't you confirm it yourself if you doubt me?" "Just you wait, brat!" Mr. Noon narrowed his eyes, whipping out his phone, and dialed Baba Yaga's number.
It was a personal number that must only be used when it was necessary.
However, even as everyone looked on, Mr. Noon's smile as he whipped out his phone turned to shock.
