"It's about Ms. Noel York here..." Frank began.

"What, you two know each other?" Frank asked, puzzled.
"No, we haven't met yet." Noel shook her head.
"No, we haven't." Burt chuckled. "It's just a coincidence. But the man | was chasing earlier used to be an accountant at your agency, Lycoris Entertainment." "What's that about?" Frank asked, his interest peaked.
"Actually, it's no big deal." Burt smiled. "The accountant was conspiring with Dylan Hood, the previous CEO, in falsifying company finances leading to the recent company acquisition. Dylan's now on the run, and he left that accountant behind to be his scapegoat." "What?!" Noel sprang to her feet, staring at Frank in disbelief. "O-Officer, are you saying that the Soranos' acquisition is technically invalid? The falsified accounts must mean that much!" While Burt raised a brow, her expression turned solemn. "Well. What happens now?" Burt glanced at Frank, who nodded.
With that, Burt explained, "Well, now we have to track down Dylan Hood, and as for Soranos. they just have to audit their accounts and pay a fine." "Is that all?" Noel exclaimed in disappointment.

"So, Brother Lawrence, about why you askedto come." "Heh. It's a real coincidence." Frank chuckled. "I've asked you to cexactly to help Noel." Frank then told Burt about the Soranos blackmailing and canceling Noel, after which Burt sighed lengthily.
"It's too complicated." He scratched his head. "And no one would ever square off against any of the Four Families of Morhen." "That doesn't include me," Frank said quietly.
"Wait, are you going to haveback up Ms. York?" Burt frowned slightly, as that likely meant challenging the Soranos "Exactly," Frank nodded and grinned. "Ms. York has a recording of Willy Sorano blackmailing her for sexual favors, and you just happened to arrest that accountant. Surely you have the muscle to invalidate the Soranos' acquisition?" "I could, but..." Burt sighed. "I wouldn't suggest it, Brother Lawrence—that might be crossing the line against the Soranos. You already made enemies of the Lionhearts, and if the Soranos joined in.
"That's my business." Frank sneered. "They'd eventually find out that | murdered Hubert Sorano. It's just a matter of time." Turning to Noel, Frank said, "And since Lycoris Entertainment's coffers are basically drained by Dylan, I'll acquire it instead. | could use the publicity to endorse my farm resort, and having a star actress would definitely bring in visitors by the droves."
