    What if you were to give my position away?”


    After ascertaining that those journalists had left the ridges, Francesco rxed and leaned backzily


    into the backrest. She then closed her eyes to soak in the sun before she yawned.


    “This is just a taster. Next time you show up, I''ll set the snakes on you.”


    A little green serpent slithered off Zachary and wrapped itself around Francesco''s arm before it


    tightened itself around her wrist like a pristine jade bangle.


    “I''m hungry. Go make me something to eat.”


    When Francesco looked askance at the little reptile around her wrist, she was songuid that she did


    not even want to lift her fingers. “Bah. If only you can really adopt a human form and help me with the


    cooking.”


    She paused and red grudgingly at Zachary, who wasid out upon the wooden bed. “It''s all your


    fault, Fugly. You''re such a dead weight that I still need to babysit you every single day!


    Not even Dummy got to enjoy this level of service from me before, so you owe me. I''d say, it wouldn''t


    be too much to ask for even if I were to demand half of your estate for saving your sorry behind!”


    Following that, she hurled a handful of peanuts she had within reach at Zachary. “Hey, did you hear


    me? Remember to show some proper gratitude in the future, yeah?”


    Under the wooden bed was a smoking bundle of herbs that shrouded Zachary within a dense nket


    of scents. The needles that were embedded all over his head gave off a subtle glisten that flickered


    through the mist.


    After the ordeal he underwent in the past two weeks, he had be visibly sloven and sallow, and his


    appearance was rather tternly and also somewhat unsightly. His hand then twitched in a subtle way,


    as though responsive to Francesco''s words...


    “Looks like the message got through,” Francesco chuckled with glee. “One can never have too much


    money. Hehe. Once I''ve got lots of them, I''m going to go bury that jerk Danrique with it!”


    Francesco was over the moon at the prospect of being able to receive half of Zachary''s fortune and


    use it to embarrass Danrique.


    She finally decided to ditch herziness and get up to prepare sustenance.


    A sooty pot bubbled as it dangled over the fire into which she casually tossed in a fewrge femurs.


    Then, she picked up a badly chipped chopping knife and diced up a few carrots which were dropped


    into the pot as well. That was enough exertion for her as she slumped back into the recliner and


    yawned. “This is so tiring! How I wish there was someone around to serve me!


    She slowly but surely became ovee by drowsiness and was about to nod off.


    Meanwhile, Charlotte''s car had arrived at the intersection point of Northridge and Southridge. “Shall we


    go have a look?” Lupine asked.


    “Perhaps it might be better not to,” Charlotte said as her eyes fixated upon Southridge, feeling a little


    tensed up inside. “I keep having the feeling that this might be where she could be hidden if that was her


    intent. After all, the most dangerous ce may very well be the safest!”


    “Why shouldn''t we go seek her out?” Lupine asked, quizzically.


    “Yes. Let''s head off before she discovers us,” Charlotte urged.


    “All right.” Content of Draм??ovels


    The car then ventured onward in the direction of Northridge.


    Charlotte was profoundly moved andforted in the knowledge that Francesco could be attending to


    Zachary in the ridges.
