Chapter 327

Author: Zesty Zing
"Jason! Jason!" Irene called softly, scanning the shadows around her.

The school felt different tonight. She needed to find him quickly, get him out, and locate Amara.

Her first call went unanswered. The second brought nothing either.

Irene frowned. The last light had drained from the sky. No girl in this program entered the boys' area after dark without a serious reason.

Every student inside these walls had been sent there for something. Most had avoided a holding cell only because their fa

    Stanley lowered his hand and looked at Amara, confusion flickering across his face. "No grounds to stand on?"Amara held something back for a moment, as though wrestling with herself, then finally forced the words out. "That's right. No grounds to stand on. Our family is under attack from the Centurion Trade Consortium right now. Every eye in the city is on us. Everything we do is being scrutinized."And you're the Draconox envoy. If you go against this many people without clear justification, it reflects badly on you. It makes your work in Silverton harder moving forward."Stanley lifted his chin slightly, a faint trace of disdain crossing his face. "I've never cared what anyone thinks about how I operate.""But we do. We have to." Amara continued without hesitation, "Our conflict with the consortium comes down to one thing: a few public remarks Dr. Hoffman made."If we can find the person truly behind this and reach an understanding with him, Dr. Hoffman's words lose their influ

    Frank raised his eyes. Stanley's anger didn't affect him in the slightest."What are you talking about? You work for someone. I work for someone. If someone asked you to hand over your boss' records, would you do it? If my boss' background were that easy to dig up, would he still be the boss?"Stanley fell silent, but eventually loosened his grip. "You've got a point."The three sisters sat there in a daze. Nothing about today had gone the way they expected.A gang that had once made the entire city flinch had somehow turned itself into a neighborhood charity operation. That alone was bizarre enough. And now a man who had come here demanding answers and exposing secrets had been talked down in three sentences.Stanley could afford to play along. Amara couldn't. She had to speak up. "Stanley, we came here to find out where Mr. Stone is and what we did to offend him. If we can't figure that out, our family is finished."Stanley seemed to snap back to himself and grabbed Frank's shi

    Frank led them into his office. They passed several gang members in the corridor, but Frank didn't acknowledge any of them. Instead, he turned to Stanley and the others with a completely unbothered expression."Whatever you want to ask, whatever you want to do, go ahead. As long as I can cooperate, I will."He told Stanley there was no need to restrain him. He was not going to run or call anyone. None of that was necessary.Half convinced, Stanley let go.Frank did exactly what he promised: no signal, no call, nothing.He led them into his office as casually as if he were welcoming a group of old friends, which unsettled the sisters even more.Was this really the Frank they had heard about?Stanley remained tense and watchful, but Frank simply settled into his office chair. Nothing happened.Stanley took the seat across from him and studied him closely. "You're Frank Sawyer?""That's right.""Leader of the Northspire Gang?""Of course.""The top organization in Northspire?

    "Stanley, this is too strange. Should we call in more people?"Amara had shifted almost imperceptibly behind him. What had happened to Irene the day before kept replaying in her mind. That incident had involved students from a correction program classroom. In the hands of the Northspire Gang, things would not have ended nearly as cleanly.Clara forced herself to speak, then quickly lowered her gaze. "I agree. Stanley, maybe we should just go back.""Call in more people?" Stanley rubbed his chin. "I don't see the problem here. A group of young men is trying to do something productive with themselves. What exactly would we be calling people in for?""Stanley, these men used to run some of the ugliest operations in this city. And you're telling me you don't find this strange?" Amara gestured toward the figures moving busily along the street. "If they had studied this hard back in school, do you think they would have ended up in the Northspire Gang?"She had barely finished speaking w

    Clara couldn't hold back any longer. "This is the Northspire Gang?"Unlike Amara, she didn't know much about the gang's history, even though she had lived in Silverton her entire life. Her art studio stood not far from Northspire, and many of her students came from the area.From everything she had heard, the Northspire Gang represented everything rotten in the city. Lazy, idle, running protection rackets, and preying on anyone weaker than them. Every crime people saw dramatized on television existed in some form within the gang's real-world operations.But they were powerful, and they knew exactly how far they could go. They never targeted people capable of striking back. That made them useful to Silverton's upper circles. They were a pair of black gloves for dealing with problems that couldn't be handled openly.To ordinary people, the gang's name was the kind of thing parents used to scare children into silence at night.So what was she looking at right now? Gang members living

    Hilda quietly talked herself down.Clara was the one who had feelings for him. If it turned out he didn't feel the same way, she could step back then. There was no reason to let a chance slip away just because the outcome was uncertain."That's just how Clara is. Don't take it to heart, Stanley." Amara stepped in smoothly. "You're remarkable, Stanley. You're still so young, yet you've already become the Draconox envoy. And your mind never stops working."The car continued down the road, but the atmosphere inside had fallen quiet.Clara sat in silence. No matter how she tried to rationalize it, she still couldn't move past what had happened.The car rolled slowly into the Northspire Gang's territory.Even with Stanley sitting in the front seat, Amara felt her body tense. She knew exactly what the Northspire Gang was. Before their family secured its position in Silverton, she had worked with them more than once. She knew very well what they did behind the scenes.But once the fami
