Chapter 68 

That very morning. Frederick sat in his office, desperately searching for a plan or strategy that could resolve all his problems. He rifled through every drawer and pored over old documents, hoping to find a clue or key that would unlock the safe hidden behind a painting. He felt that if he could just open it… all his problems would vanish. 

“Hey Dad, have you heard the news?” The office door swung open, revealing his son, visibly excited.
