Frank looked at the two women in silence, his eyes were sharp, and he looked like a refined and malicious noble with those regal clothes he was wearing while sitting in the old chair.
He was not losing this fight, he already knew a lot, and he would never be easily convinced with lies from these two women who were willing to sell of a little girl because they thought she and her monster pet could sell for some coins.
However, the two continued in denial, trying to convince him of brand-new lies.
"P-Please, you have to understand!" said Felicia. "That money is always stolen from us by the thugs, there are so many thugs here…"
"Yeah! They always come knocking at the door and asking for more money, if we don't give it to them, they say they'll kidnap the kids and sell them off as slaves or even worse… s-sexual slaves!" said Cecilia.
"We have to lie about this or else they'll come for our heads…" said Felicia.
"S-So please, understand our situation!" said Cecilia.
Lies, more and more lies. Frank could read their faces, they were good at expressions, lying and deception… they had rotten and dishonest hearts. He even began to wonder how did they used to be back then… maybe when they were kids, they were any good? Although it doesn't seem likely, people like this are just rotten to the core, from the beginning.
Frank looked at the women so sharply they felt like his gaze as cutting down their faces.
"I don't believe you a single thing, you're just bullshitting me." Said Frank. "I have just beaten around a dozen thugs that tried to assault us and I got some info from them… They said that they were told by two nuns… You are not their enemies, you're actually their allies."
"Ah…!"
"Eh?!"
The two nuns were left speechless by Frank's sharpness! They couldn't do anything else but open their eyes wide as they looked at the man!
"Y-You're… not wrong…" said Felicia. "B-But we were forced to cooperate or the kids… they would take the kids!"
"Yeah… Please…" cried Cecilia. "D-Don't tell the authorities…"
"Hmm… I guess I will not as long as you give me all the kids for this money." Said Frank. "I am letting you go off the hook, so appreciate that. If not, I could easily send you to jail and get the kids below my protection through other means anyways… I am letting you have it the easy way, don't make it the hard way."
"A-Ah…"
"T-This…"
The two nuns were instantly overwhelmed and intimidated by Frank's sharp words and intimidating presence. They couldn't believe it, but he had completely defeated them without even using brute force or anything!
The two nuns, completely defeated and without hopes, sighed, as they looked at the coins.
"A-At least we can keep the coins?" asked Felicia.
"Yeah, I value these children lives more than you do. So of course I will give money to adopt them." Said Frank. "Now if you excuse me, I will go meet my new sons and daughters. Let's go, Miriam."
Miriam looked at the nuns defeated happily, as she held Frank and Gwendolyn's hands as if she was really their daughter, and the three walked upstairs through the orphanage, finding the large room where all the children were sleeping.
When they opened the door, they jumped out of their beds as they were pretending to be sleeping.
"MIRIAAAM!"
"BIG SIS!"
"Eh?!"
And then, as they called for her like always, they were surprised she came with two strangers this time around!
"Hello children." Said Gwendolyn. "We have come to adopt you."
"Hi… Erm, you're a lot…" said Frank. "This is not going to be easy, huh?"
Frank felt overwhelmed, but he had already compromised for it, so he had to be courageous and take them all below his protection, these children deserved better futures, and he, as someone that could easily offer that to them, wasn't going to back down out of being a coward.
If he could make the lives of people better with money, why wouldn't he do that? It was within his grasp, so why wouldn't he do it? He was already here so he was doing it anyways.
"This is Sir Frank, the man that has been paying for me to work with him, and he's also the one that has been bringing us food this entire time all the days!" said Miriam. "Don't be scared, he's a good man that only wants us to be happy… This is Gwendolyn, his wife, she's nice and cooks very tasty food, some of the pre-made food you've eaten was made by her!"
The kids couldn't believe Miriam's words, since they were here that they never thought anybody would ever adopt them! But now, out of nowhere, they had come, and they were all being adopted at the same time, to boot!
"N-No way, are we all getting adopted?!"
"Yes, finally!"
"I want to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"I hate it here, let's go!"
"Please, bring us out!"
"We hate the nuns!"
"They're the worst, they barely feed us…"
"I-I see… I guess it is nice that you're willing to cooperate." Said Frank with a nervous smile, he felt a bit of pressure, but he decided to embrace the kids and let them all come with him.
Like that, he brought an army of children outside the orphanage, and they all walked all the way through back to the monster pet nursery.
The kids were surprised by the building's appearance and beauty, and they were quickly made to take a collective warm bath with a lot of soap, where Frank and Gwendolyn personally washed all the kids because they seemed to have never having taken baths in a while…
After they were finally bathed and well clean, they were given a large amount of clothes Frank had prepared, and after they finished dressing themselves, they were greeted by an enormous feast cooked by Gwendolyn… the kids felt as if they were in a fairy tale, everything became too surreal, they were given a home, warmth baths, good clothes, nice rooms, and even delicious food…
It was a day they would remember forever in their lives, and Frank couldn't help but smile warmly as he saw these innocent children being happy.
