    Those debt problems gave Yuka a headache. She sighed sadly. "We don''t have a choice. If we clear the loan we owe the bank, at least we can save some interest money and eventually, we have to pay it. I''ll find a time to talk with Gabriel about the loan we owe Free Rebel Gang and ask him to help us defer the payment date. The Free Rebel Gang listens to him."


    Yet, the Great Elder was worried. "But I think it''s getting more and more dangerous for you to maintain the rtionship between you and Gabriel. He had been helping you out for the past two years but I''m really afraid that one day, he would change his mind."


    Yuka frowned and did some thinking. "Don''t worry. I know what you''re trying to say. Just go and clear the bank loan tomorrow morning. I will think of a way to deal with Free Rebel Gang. Our new restaurant is doing quite well and so are the other restaurants too. Let''s keep it up so we got money to pay Free Rebel Gang next year."


    She paused for a while. "Since Severin is staying here, I''ll try to socialize with him. If anything happens, at least we can still ask him to loan us some money."


    The Great Elder sighed. "Borrowing from another person to pay back the loan. That''s the only solution we have at the moment. Gosh, when is this going to end?"N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Yuka sighed again. "I''m sure that day wille. We never wanted to end up in this situation. Luck wasn''t on our side when a fire burned down our newly established factory. From that day on, we entered into a crisis and owed many people money."


    "Yes. Until today, I still think there''s something wrong with the fire. The first started exactly we were about to deliver the goods to the customer. The timing was so coincident that it raised many suspicions," the Great Elder said sorrowly.


    Over the past two years, they did not give up investigating the reason behind the fire. Yet, the fire burned everything down and they could not find any evidence. The three of them continued to chat for a while until the elders saw it was time for them to leave.


    At that moment, Yuka was feeling a little dizzy because she had drunk quite a lot. She sat on the couch and rubbed her tired eyes. Just about when she was nning to go up to her room to take a nap, Brody showed up.


    Her face turned sullen when she saw him. "Brody, why are you here? Do you know how reckless you were? We don''t know anything about Severin. What happens if he''s actually a very powerful person? It''s not a smart move to offend him."


    Brody looked at Yuka''s sexy long legs and gulped. Immediately, he realized it was not the right moment to be doing that. He said apologetically, "Yuka, I''m sorry. I know I acted recklessly just now but I was trying to protect you. I didn''t want him to take advantage of you."


    Yuka smiled. "I know you mean well but you shouldn''t do that at that moment."
