Frank chuckled. "At my level, money really is inconsequential."


    Janice finished chewing her food just then and asked solemnly, "True, but what about your people? Money is needed to recruit people, as well as tobat poverty. And my family happens tock a major organization like Mystic Sky Guild. Tit for tat, don''t you think?"


    Frank understood that she was suggesting a partnership, but he said, "This isn''t up to you."


    Janice nodded. "You''re right-my grandfather pampers me, but right now, I have no authority in the family.


    "But a good idea is a good idea-it doesn''t matter who suggested it. So I''m sure that if I told my grandfather, he would send people over to discuss the prospect. And as long as you agreed to it, everything would get on the right track."


    Frank could not help reevaluating the girl, who earlier seemed so inexperienced about worldly matters.


    He was definitely surprised by her wit and insight, which set her above the rest.


    Moreover, she was right, and he had been looking for a steady channel of revenue as well. While money could not buy everything, having no money would get one nothing.


    Frank did not want to ask Vicky either, as it would be pointless-the need for more capital could turn out to be a sinkhole. It was more ideal to avoid being so reliant on Vicky and make money on his own.


    It was not as if he was ousting Vicky-it was a matter of convenience and not putting all his eggs in one basket.


    Shrugging, he said, "Well, I have no issue with that. It depends on your family, but I''m also sure that it can''t be decided with just a couple of verbal agreements. Let''s just be patient and wait until talks settle."


    "Okay!"


    Janice put aside her lunchbox, texting as she said, "Thank you so much! If this works, my authority in the family would grow. Who knows, I might even be the next family head."


    Frank nodded. "I''ll do everything I can to help if that happens."


    "Haha... Thanks!" Janice smiled shyly.


    Just ten minutester, her grandfather replied to her text, confirming that he would send his people to meet Frank.


    "Great!" Janice eximed in delight, jumping around and hugging Frank.


    That was when Zark stepped out of his cousin''s ward and quickly turned to leave when he saw that.


    "W-Wait! T-This is not what you''re thinking. Don''t misunderstand!"


    Janice quickly exined even as she flushed, frustrated by herself for not thinking things through.


    Zark smiled quietly-exining at this point was no different from hiding it!


    If she regretted it, why do it at all? And she looked absolutely guilty just then!


    "I understand and respect that.

    Janice ignored him and turned toward Frank, muttering, "Sorry, I got ahead of myself. Please don''t mind!"

    Janice pouted. "More like that''s because you''ve never met anyone from my circle! I''m actually one of the better ones-those who look good in appearance are secretly filthy behind the scenes."
