Prev Chapter Next Chapter

This time, Irene was denied food and water from her cell, and she could occasionally hear a baby's

tormented cries.She curled into herself, clutching her belly whenever she heard it, fearful that the same

would happen to her own child.

She had no idea how long she was kept in that dark cell, which seemed to transcend beyond space

and light.

At first, she knocked on her door to get a response, but her answer was silence.

Eventually deciding that it was pointless, she simply gave up and idled to save her strength.

As more time passed, thirst and hunger seized her, and she yearned to see the light again.

"Who can save me?’

As she curled into herself at a corner of the wall, her thoughts soon became a mess and she started

hallucinating.She started to tremble whenever she heard the baby’s cries now.

Over at Duran, Isaac met Auric at a 7-star hotel.

The venue was grand beyond description, and the furnishings within were just as extravagant. Crystals,

velour, red velvet, and gold were everywhere, and the very air seemed to smell of money and the local

anesthetic.

Anyone who did not know better would believe that they had just stepped inside a palace, though the

outward architecture was as modern as they come.

Auric Wes, the owner of the world-renowned hotel, was indisputably one of the world's richest men.

Dressed in a white shirt, the facial hair on his visage only served to accentuate the distinct features on

his visage.

He sat nonchalantly on a red couch weaved from genuine leather, and there was an open bottle of wine

sitting on the table before him.

It was worth well over a hundred grand, but it appeared to be nothing to him.

Taking a deep puff of his cigar, white smoke swirled around his face as he said, 'I don't understand.

Why are you pulling out?

Our partnership is going to be-'

‘l know,’ Isaac replied.

Though he lacked Auric's riches, he did not appear to be at a disadvantage -one could even tell that he

appeared superior and more composed.

After all, Auric's accomplishments came from his inheritance, while Isaac earned everything himself.

Men weathered by hardship were certainly more compelling, and Isaac already made up his mind

before he came.

"Here are the papers concerned," Isaac said.

Auric waved to gesture for the pretty attendant nearby to pour a drink while he straightened himself in

his seat and studied Isaac. "This begs the question-why?"

‘Minerva's oil supply has been cut because of a war between two other countries. Even if they don't

lack it at the moment and they've even exported it, there would soon be a supply shortage and the

prices would shoot sky high. The two oil fields that you own is going to look very appealing-'

‘Everyone knows that the early bird gets the early worm, but what I want to know is what could be

better than our partnership if you're willing to give it up."

Isaac and Auric were close, and they had been partners before-even old friends.

As such, Isaac did not lie. ‘There's someone I want to get out of Minerva."

His gaze darkened even as he spoke, while Auric reached for his glass and took a sip. "Who is worth

that great a sacrifice?"

"A fellow Zidonian," Isaac replied.

He did not tell Auric about Irene to avoid unnecessary troubles.
