Liege clinic.
Angelica (Andre's little sister) and her husband, George were discharged and were taken back to their home in the slums of hope. Yeah. George had a reputation as a wife beater now. Sigh! Well, it's worth it that his wife and unborn child are okay, thanks to Andre's timely intervention. Or else, he'd just die with his wife and foetus.
Bruce helped George into the house, while Andre chatted with Angelica as he retrieved the things they'd bought on the way back home. Dorothy was the one who opened the lock on their door so they could all enter.
Their home was humble but still a dream for those who resided in the slums of despair.
An hour later.
Andre left them with the promise to return next week.
He also visited his other two sisters and give the more cash. He expects them to have taken apartments in a much better place not in the slums by the time he returns. He returned to his mansion and discussed at length with his mermaid friend, Annabelle.
They would go to M city where it all started to investigate the villain hiding behind the black curtains.

Cutie's Kiss Fashion World.
This is one of the top clothes store for ladies. It's wares are expensive very expensive. Usually only the really rich or celebrities visit there.
A grey colored Hyundai Tucson parks properly in one of the allotted parking spaces and it's occupants step out. They are Evelyn and Vanessa. They were clad in the same gown but in the different colour. Evelyn's gown was white studded with gold rubies at the edges and it stopped just two inches above her knees while Vanessa's gown was black studded with red coral beads and it stopped exactly at her knees. Two ladies exuding lots of hotness and charm.
They put on sunglasses and headed into the big store.
Inside the store.
Evelyn turned Vanessa into a model, trying on different kinds of clothes and they all looked good on her.
"Baby girl, let's buy them all" Evelyn declared and didn't let her bestie refuse.
"Babe, take it as me sending you to investigate in the wolf's den. Of course, I must equip you right?"
Vanessa sighed and agreed to take the goodies that Evelyn gave her.
Then they headed to an accessory shop to get her adornments and shoes.
By the time they returned home, Vanessa was exhausted unlike Evelyn who was jumping about; lecturing her about the do's and donts of her new job, etiquette etc. Vanessa couldn't recall how many times she rolled her eyes and sighed but Evelyn continued her preaching.
"I heard you. But can we please have lunch? I'm close to death here. If this goes on, I'll just commit suicide" she complained.
"Oh! Then I'll send you to the eagle's nest after all dead meat is still meat and so as not to waste your bones, I'll send them to the wild dogs. I'm sure I can have more connections that way. So go ahead and die. I'll keep advancing fairy ranks and... show off in front of your casketless and corpseless grave. How's that? Are you feeling... grateful?" Evelyn asked not forgetting to blink her eyes repeatedly.
Vanessa did not reply immediately. She instead stretched out her right hand and a fire chain appeared, floating in midair. The heat from this chain confirmed that Vanessa had indeed increased her fairy rank to level 2. Evelyn instinctively retreated a bit.
"Continue preaching, bestie. I'm all ears. And when you're done, I'll burn you to ashes myself and place them in feces. Go on. If you're not, then let's set the table with piping hot delicious food. I can make do with cold food too. So long as it's delicious." she played with the fire chain like it was a fine toy, caressing its surface.
"What's your decision?" Vanessa asked.
"First of all, congratulations for leveling up your fairy powers. I can't wait to see your new fairy self and I choose a piping hot lunch. Let's get to the dining room shall we?" Evelyn faked a smile.
Vanessa scoffed and stood up from her seat. The fire chain disappeared and Evelyn sighed.
"I know you can't wait to push me into the wolf's den in the name of investigating but please be nicer now that I'm still alive"
"Ok. I'll do that when we're filled up with a mountain of food. Who's hungrier here?" Evelyn dragged Vanny to eat.
Vanessa rolled her eyes again. Bestie, bestie!
