Henry said, "Me? I'm feeling just fine. What is it?"Helen breathed a sigh of relief—the Ichor Pill was clearly not the issue. "No, I was just asking.""And why would you suddenly ask?" Henry was curious—they had just seen each other hours ago.Such concern was out of place, even from Helen.The way she put it made it seem as if they had been apart for months!"I gave Lyndon McCoy the other Ichor Pill," Helen admitted. "His condition worsened after that… I don't know if it's the pills, or if Lyndon's condition is just too critical."Henry smacked his lap at her words. "It's definitely the pills."Helen was confused. "B-But you took it yourself.""Pfft." Henry snorted in disdain. "That's bullshit. Frank's the one who saved me, not that what's-his-name. Where are you now?""The McCoys locked us up," Helen admitted. "They probably won't free us if Lyndon doesn't recover.""Oh, you…" Henry sighed in disappointment. "Just try not to upset them further. I'll try to get you out."W

Forget dissing Rocco—Dan could slap Rocco in the face, and Rocco would never retaliate!Frank shook his head. "No, I understand how the boy felt. There's no reason for me to blame him."If anything, Helen was to blame for bringing Lyndon the fake Ichor Pill, which led to Rocco believing Frank was bringing him another dud when he brought a real one. Naturally, that was no reason to hold a grudge against Rocco.Dan then walked up to Frank, appearing utterly respectful. "Your understanding certainly sets you apart from the rest… also, should you find the time, why don't you visit my Flora Hall? We can exchange our knowledge when it comes to medicine."Frank smiled in turn. "Don't worry, Mr. Zimmer. I'll actually require your assistance, since I'll need plenty of medicinal ingredients soon enough. I'll be imposing plenty."Dan was beaming at Frank's words—imposing suited him just fine. If anything, he was more worried that Frank would not visit.Decent relationships went both ways,

Sean called Helen just then. "Are you alright, Helen? Don't worry—I've sent my people to deal with the issue. I'll destroy Rocco McCoy if he so much as lays a finger on you."In reality, he sent nobody. After all, he had no idea how to clean up the mess—there was just no way for him to keep deceiving Helen that the Ichor Pills were fake while having Rocco release her as well."Don't worry, Mr. Wesley—my mom and I were released," Helen said quietly, her eyes then narrowing as she asked, "By the way, who did you send?"Sean was caught dumbfounded, stammering endlessly but unable to say even a name.That made Helen more confident that Frank had sent Dan—why else would Sean hesitate?However, Gina shouted just then, "Mr. Wesley, was it Dan Zimmer?"Sean heard her and promptly said, "Yes, yes, of course. I sent Mr. Zimmer.""Mom, what are you doing?!" Helen was furious."What are you doing?" Gina shot back. "I told you—Mr. Wesley definitely sent Mr. Zimmer.""Oh, it's no big deal a

Vicky narrowed her eyes curiously. "The Salazar Triplets?"Jackie nodded. "Good eye, Ms. Turnbull—they are indeed the Salazar Triplets of Sunny City."Vicky snorted in disdain. "And you're in cahoots with them. That explains how you've grown a pair."Sunny City was right next to Riverton, and the Salazars were top dogs there. That meant they were influential, but it was still surprising to learn that they had expanded here to Riverton.And after Jackie became a part of their family, Sergio Salazar sent the triplets over to assist him. They were all killers, and while they were actually there to keep an eye on Jackie, Jackie was actually eager to test the depth of their abilities.Lighting himself a cigarette, Jackie said, "Care to make a bet, Ms. Turnbull?"Vicky put his hands on her hips and snorted in contempt. "Do I look spooked? Who's up first?"Uno Salazar promptly moved forward, just as Jackie demanded, "What if you lose, Ms. Turnbull?"Vicky smiled. "What would you like?

Cliff was certainly fuming—how pretentious could a man get, taking three other men at once?!Beside her, Vicky narrowed her eyes.She knew Frank well enough to tell that he would not do anything unless he had absolute confidence.Perhaps his abilities grew after acquiring the wonderroot?On the other hand, Jackie was clutching his stomach from uncontrollable laughter. "Hahaha! Ms. Turnbull… your lackeys aren't at all impressive, but they sure can boast!""You never know," Vicky retorted, having absolute faith in Frank."Hmph," Jackie snorted. "Break his legs, Uno."Uno flexed his wrist in turn. "Time to die, kid."He launched a missile-like punch at Frank's head right then!Frank did not move. He simply kept watching until Uno's fist was about to hit his face, and he suddenly raised his hand, grabbing hold of the fist while stopping Uno from moving an inch."What…"Uno's eyes bulged in disbelief. How was a scrawny brat like him that strong?!"Surprised?" Frank scoffed in tu
