Meanwhile, outside the karaoke box, Helen received a call from Horey. "Your plan is genius, Ms. Lane." "What?" Helen was left confused. She looked between Gina and Huub, but they looked just as confused as to what the kidnapper was talking about.

Horey laughed in cold rage. "Not pretending? Then why did you bring a fake flower? Hell, that's not all-you even had someone hide in the closet in Room 10, ready to ambush me! You're really showing no sincerity here, Ms. Lane!" Helen wheeled on Huub in shock. "The Bloodcrane Spiritbloom is fake?!" Huub appeared stunned for a moment, but he quickly stuck with the script he had prepared beforehand, insisting vehemently, "Impossible! That's definitely the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom, an heirloom from my ancestors! How could it be fake?! The way I see it, the kidnapper must have already taken it and is trying to frus instead!" "Hah!" Horey laughed coldly in turn. "You think I'd be interested in your fake crap?! Save it! If I'm trying to pull a scam, why would I even bother calling you?! You're the one who refused to take my deal and tried to trick me! You'll understand the consequences for that soon enough!" Beep... Beep...
Horey hung up before Helen could explain, leaving her dejected as she listened to the static beeping.
If Gina had not been quick enough to catch her, she would have collapsed on the floor right then.
"Listen to me, Helen." Huub strode up, ready to maintain his innocence. "The Bloodcrane Spiritbloom I gave you is not fake. It's real, and I promise you that on my reputation. I'd never lie to you!"

But if she refused, Huub would demand compensation.
And if she could not afford it, he would take extra steps and coerce her into submission anyway.
It was the perfect plan, with endless layers of contingencies.
