"What?!"

Paul was left thunderstruck by the news that Leino had already been arrested and sent to Blackwater.

He turned stiffly to look at his dear grandson Huub, finally realizing just then that Huub had tricked him just to use him as a meat shield... or indeed, a scapegoat.

All Huub wanted to do was to use him to buy time so that he could flee abroad and enjoy life, even if it meant adding to Paul's list of crimes.

There was a troubled look on Paul's face, but he could not get upset even if he wanted to as he turned to look at Huub, who was now a blackened puddle of blood and guts.

In the end, all Paul could do was look up in the skies and sigh, even as Huub continued to laugh maniacally.

And with that, there was no longer a Droitner Inc. in Bralog, and the Droitners were gone as well.

Frank naturally was not interested in staying at Bralog at that, turning down Nux Hamner's invitation to let him stay.

Instead, he drove the Droitner Inc. bus with his friends and returned to Zamri on a lively trip.

Kat Yego was livid even as she demanded, "Master Lawrence, did you punish that brat properly? You can't let him get away with this!"

She was clearly furious with what Huub did and even wanted revenge personally.

"Don't worry. I made him pay for everything he did." Frank chuckled but did not elaborate.

The kind Winter Lawrence appeared concerned. "Did you... kill him?"

"Hmph!"

Mona Fairfax snorted. "Trash like him should be killed right away. He'll just hurt more people if left alive."

"Exactly, sister!"

Kat nodded in agreement. "It'd be even better if he died from a thousand cuts!"

Nash Yego frowned in disapproval. "Kat, you're not that young now-you shouldn't speak of death and mutilation so lightly." "Hmph."

Kat pouted but did not argue for once.

"The children can't be blamed, Nash."

Carol Zims shook her head, turning toward the ever cheerful Madfist "Huub Droitner would have made us suffer if not for that gentleman over there."

They had really dodged a bullet this time, especially Winter, whom Huub would have handed off to those foreign businesspeople. "Everyone, please listen..."

"Oh, we all know you're wet behind the ears, Helen. So you're a victim too!"

"Just don't be so trusting toward strangers next time."

"We're fine, aren't we?"

Everyone was immediately and noisily defending Helen's innocence, clearly aware that Helen did not tell Huub to do what he did. While Helen looked on, she still thought that Frank might still be angry, as her mistrust was why everyone was in danger. Leaning on Frank, she murmured, "Frank, I'm..."
