While Bloody Mary's cult-like approach did not work now, money talks and was way more persuasive than anything else. "Why should I trust you?" Frank asked nheless.
Callie clearly had her own mind on things and was not lovesick like the other ladies around Frank, and she must have her plans in hovering around him.
"What, and you trust her?" Callie asked as she pointed at Moxxi instead of answering Frank's question.

Don't lumpwith the likes of you or try to drive us apart!" Calli laughed. "No, we're basically identical! You're as ambitious as I am, but I'm not a gambler and wouldn't bet against trends. "That being said, Mr. Frankton is exceptional in both wit and wisdom. Even if he isn't going to be the king of the emperor, surely it'd be acceptable to be a major shareholder... Don't you agree, Mr. Frankton?" Frank actually had to agree on that.
It was also true that one rarely encountered a schemer, as there were always plenty of fence-sitters watching the situation before falling on either side.
"Summon all your people to Shagan," he said. "You will handle the initial round of internal investigation, and Jada the second. We shall only discuss the acquisition of BM Group after that." "Okay," Callie replied without arguing.
She might have been intimidated intopliance, but whatever the cause might be, Frank was satisfied that Callie was doing anything he said.
Still, there was something Frank did not understand... Could the spiritron vein have demanded that he play nice with BM Group just to bolster the forces of Mystic Sky Guild? He had no idea but decided not to pry and returned to the yacht with Moxxi.
"Would you believe it, Ms. Turin?! Callie Wright was the real Mary!" Moxxi promptly told Jada the shocking revelation, since she knew Jada had met Callie before.
Jada shrugged, not surprised at all. "That's normal. A group that asserts itself with murder and crimes should ensure that their leader won't be killed, or it'd be over before it starts!" Moxxi scowled, speechless-was she the only one who was surprised by this turn of events? On the other hand, Frank was interested in grooming Moxxi. "Back to business. Since you're from BM Group, they would be more accepting if you lead them, don't you agree?" "Are you kidding?" Moxxi exclaimed, bemused.
What Frank did made sense, but was he really trusting her when she was just a turncoat? Frank shrugged. "I know what you're thinking, but not only am I confident in Jada and the Cerulean Summit Legion's loyalty, but I'm confident about you too.

It takes tto split them up, so someone has topete against Callie for the foreseeable period, and you're the best choice for that." Moxxi was delighted, as she loved having authority and had been stirring trouble before since she was not appreciated. She did not expect Frank to think so highly of her once she defected that was why the man was simply different! "Don't worry," she assured him. "I have principles, and I will serve loyally even in death! I will prove that your appreciation is deserved, and I'm confident that we can dissolve BM Group!" "Good." Frank nodded, satisfied.
Returning to Frankton Tower, he almost ran headlong into Jouri as he opened the door.
"How did it go? Have you found Monte Petale?" he asked.
Jouri shook her head. "We've checked the list of deceased over the past few decades, but none of them resemble the description you gave. Perhaps it's twe look abroad." "What about Skai Veeka?" Frank asked instead, not really in a rush to look for Monte.
"Everything's here." Jouri clapped her hand on a waist-high stack of papers. "Look through it yourself." Privacy
