"Oh, come on. Where did your pompous attitude go?"
Yancy laughed. "Honestly, I'll never get it—people like you really lack imagination, huh? If you knew this would happen, you could've just played nice, and everything would be fine that way, no?"

Meanwhile, Frank had left the rundown apartment, unbothered by the violent screams that were resounding from the building.
He then saw a Rolls-Royce appearing from the distance, bounding the road before screeching to a halt in front of Frank.
Naturally, it was none other than Jouri Yelin herself.
"You're able to afford such a ride?"
Frank chuckled. "I'm surprised you're doing so well for yourself, Ms. Yelin."
Jouri smiled in turn. "You flatter me, Mr. Frankton—but I'd still come up short compared to you.
"Anyway, let's get right down to business. I just had a breakthrough—you've been hoping to leave Shagan for a while, haven't you? I can help you, but on one condition!"
Frank nodded. "Tell me more!"
Jouri was not in a hurry to tell him, however, and opened the door like a chauffeur.
Frank chuckled as he got in.
Jouri got in after him and told the chauffeur to drive before explaining, "We found out that the power of the spiritron vein comes from the earth itself—a manifestation of its will, from a metaphysical perspective.
"Working down from that angle, our research came up with a trick that would allow you free roam over the world. That is, to return the power of the spiritron vein back to the earth.
"You can draw upon it when you need it, but when you don't, you'd revert to a normal human. That way, you can also prevent unruly elements exploiting the power of the spiritron vein, don't you agree?"
Frank nodded. "So you need my help to deal with them, right?"
"It's just a request." Jouri shrugged. "Accepting it is still your call. You know we'd never force anything on anyone."
Frank chuckled. "You know I love tormenting villains by abusing the name of justice. Give me the details!"
Jouri quickly told Frank everything she knew, after which Frank was nodding. "Talk about an irresistible request! But if I have to do you such a huge favor, don't you think you should help me out too?"
Jouri immediately read his mind. "Don't worry. We'll take good care of your ladies."
As they shared a smile, the Rolls-Royce sped onto the interstate.
There were not many other cars around, and the sun was exceedingly dazzling overhead…
