Frank never turned as he said quietly, "It doesn't matter if the house is burnt. I need to go in and see if anyone is trapped inside."

Gavin did a double take in realization-Frank was saying that he was checking for bodies.

"But it's already..."

Still, he frowned at the mansion that was devoured by smoke and flames.

He wanted to say that even if there were bodies inside, now was not the time to enter he would not come out unscathed if he rushed into the fire like this. And Gavin had seen the depths of his strength as well...

"Don't get in his way."

Suddenly, Madfist came up and pulled Gavin aside, speaking quietly, "Let him."

"But he's already hurt..."

"Let him," Madfist said firmly.

Gavin had no choice but to stay silent and watch worriedly as Frank slowly headed into the blazing mansion.

"Shit, the brat's really going in?"

"Wait, isn't he going to die?!"

Bang!

While the bystanders looked on in shock and were busy talking among themselves, an eruption resounded within Cologne Court.

A violent shockwave unfurled away, knocking them off their feet while others backed away in shock.

Some of them were clicking their tongues and sighing.

"Well, I guess he's dead now."

"Yeah. There's no way he survived that."

Gavin, Scarface, and Madfist stood at the fore, watching the fire

continue to burn, even as they net Frank's genuine devastation ve

Nonetheless, a trail of cars soon arrived from a distance, and the bystanders, were whispering among themselves when they saw Lanecorp's logo on the side,

wondering what had taken them so long.

"No... No!"

Helen screamed as she rushed out of the car, seeing the blazing mansion just then and not caring about her image as a board chair.

She was even ready to run into the fire, although Terry Cotton and Peter Lane quickly caught her.

"Calm down, Helen!" Peter cried as he tried to pull her back.

"It's all my fault... It's all my fault!"

Helen dropped to her knees, burying her face in her palms as she sobbed and howled.

Gavin saw them just then, and

grabbed Helen by the wrist despite losing a finger, leaning in as he demanded, "Helen! What happened here?"

"I-I let Huub Droitner in to search Cologne Court for the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom..."

Helen was on the verge of passing out, forgetting why Gavin was there as all she could see was the burning mansion.

Gavin was thunderstruck, freezing up right then.

"What... You've really done it now, Helen!" He reared his head skyward and groaned.
