Kurt smiled awkwardly in turn and slowly got up. “Thanks again for saving me, Mr. Lawrence. I still have business to see to, so I shall be going–also, should you and Ms. Zimmer ever come to my establishments, everything will be on the house.”
Then, turning to the burly man beside him, he added, “Bravo. Pay Flora Hall double for any costs.”
“Yes, Mr. Stinson,” Bravo promptly replied.
Janet wanted to refuse, but she had no chance as they paid cash.
With that, Kurt left with Bravo in tow.
After they got in their car, Bravo was staring at Kurt, appearing hesitant to speak.
Seeing that, Kurt asked bluntly, “Out with it already. Why are you hesitating?”
Since Kurt put it that way, Bravo quickly said, “I think there’s something strange about Mr. Lawrence, boss.”
“What is it?”
“I think he has killed people before.”
“He killed people…?”
Bravo nodded–even now, he did not forget the glare Frank shot him.
The killing intent he had was more fearsome than Kurt’s!
Kurt narrowed his eyes in turn. It was certainly strange that he had never heard of Frank even now, especially since he was that amazing…
“Should we look into him, sir?” Bravo asked just then.
Kurt promptly waved him off. “Absolutely not. We don’t even know if he’s friend or foe–don’t provoke him in any case. Let’s make friends since he’s not hostile at the moment, and remember to tell the boys to show respect when he visits our joint.”
“Yes, boss.” Bravo nodded repeatedly.
Back at Flora Hall, Janet breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing off Kurt and Bravo.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Lawrence,” she told Frank.
“It’s nothing. Dan and I are more or less friends,” Frank said nonchalantly.
He would not let some thugs start a mess in Flora Hall since Dan was friends with Henry Lane, thought Henry had never mentioned it himself. In fact, he still would not have known if he did not meet Janet today.
As they returned to the tearoom for a break, Dan had returned to Flora Hall as well.
He was at once surprised and delighted after his granddaughter recounted what happened and could kowtow to Frank right then!
“Oh, I don’t know how to thank you, Mr. Lawrence,” he exclaimed emotionally. “You’ve really saved Flora Hall! If you must know, Kurt Stinson is the kingpin of East City. He’s even more powerful than Leo Grayson!”
Frank threw his hands up. “It’s nothing, Mr. Zimmer. If you really want to thank me, you just have to give me some medicinal ingredients.”
“Of course! Just tell me what you need, Mr. Lawrence. It would be no issue as long as we have it here in Flora Hall.”

Dan was actually beside himself with joy–he his brains on how to get in Frank’s good graces!
“I need a tuft of Skyfresh Vine to make a pill,” Frank said. “I was told you have some, but it’s not for sale. Is that true?”
Dan was laughing as he stroked his beard. “We certainly do–it’s thirty–six inches in length, and you can have it if you want, Mr. Lawrence.”
Then, turning toward Janet, he said, “Run along now. Fetch that vine for Mr. Lawrence.”
