Drake had just managed to get his power back. He couldn't have that kind of money to buy a precious stone like that.
Faced with her doubt, Drake snorted, "Who says it has to be bought?"
"Then how did you..." Debra trailed off, quickly realizing where this was headed.
She smacked his arm, scowling, "You're involved in illegal dealings again?"
"That's the nature of my business. Focus on your own man," Drake retorted.
Marion shot him a cold glare, warning him against messing with Debra.
Drake took a deep breath. "Don't worry. I didn't hurt anyone. They gave it to me willingly, and I'm paying them in installments. They won't lose out."
Debra finally relaxed and asked, "So where did you hide the stone?"
"At a safe place, of course," Drake replied. "It cost me a fortune. Naturally, they'd not find it easily."
"So, the Illuminati members have been collecting treasures like that. Such stones could lure out their leader, right?"
A group of people entered the room and placed Drake on a stretcher. Kale had already taken care of the discharge paperwork.
Drake couldn't move, let alone resist them.
Debra turned to Marion. "Let's go and make sure his stone is safely stored."
"I didn't even tell you where I hid it," Drake protested.
"You don't need to. I already figured it out."
