As they sped away, Ida and Sadie were left trading glances. "What do we do now?" Sally smiled. "I'll get you a car. As apprentices, you really shouldn't be third-wheeling when your mentor is flirting!" Both Ida and Sadie smiled but said nothing, as their mentor was really so lucky with women that even they were a little jealous.

Jouri alighted and said, "My boss would like to see you. He has a gift waiting!" Frank followed her into the mansion, not particularly aware of what was happening.
He then felt a strange sensation when he stepped inside and looked down to see that his ring was reacting with a purple glow.
"Your ring could sense it, it seems..." Jouri trailed off pointedly.
Frank was even more curious now. "Who on earth are you?" Jouri smiled. "You'll know soon enough." Just as she finished, Frank heard raspy breathing and footsteps, and he turned to see a man in a black cloak, a top hat, and a Guy Fawkes mask emerging from the darkness.
His breathing was irregular, and Frank could tell that he was old.

As they did, he stood in front of Frank, his head twitching seemingly to study Frank from head to toe. "Good. You do have the look of a man with destiny!" "Who are you people?" Frank asked.
The old man breathed an eerie laugh and soon said, "Allowto introduce myself—the nis Hector Clet. It's perfectly reasonable if you don't know me, as I'm but a humble man who gained an epiphany." He then took off his mask, revealing a burned and wrinkled gruesface, and put it back on before continuing, "We've found out about the strange occurrences in Shagan a long tago, and I was given orders from above to lead a group and investigate it.

Hector then took out an emerald from his back pocket, though it was el.ne clearly artificial and especially crude. "We reverse-engineered this by studying smutants we captured-yes, that's what we call the people who are altered by the power of the spiritron vein.

But as our production capacity is limited, we had to build a safehouse where we could lure in any enemies and wipe them out to a certain extent. There's just too many of them, so the tide really isn't going in our favor." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesFrank nodded in realization and took off his ring, putting it on the table as he asked, "Is this what you want?" Hector quickly shook his head. "I mustn't take what's yours, and it would be pointless if I do anyway. Everyone knows that it's an object of terrible omens, and it would curse us permanently for the rest of our lives if we try to claim it.
"Anyway, I asked Ms. Yelin to bring you here to give you this-so that you could make something like this." Hector whistled, and a black-clad man soon appeared and put a box on the table.
Smiling and bowing at Frank, Hector sighed. "We're not making it. The rest is up to you." Frank remained confused, as he still had no idea where Hector was from and why he had approached him.
But judging from the conversation they had, he could tell that Hector was hiding something as well, especially on the box. There was most definitely sunique restriction on the emerald they made, or they would not be so eager to help Frank.
