Monster Hunters: Beat Grave and Erina Hell's Adventures.

Chapter 46: Feelings

Beat as soon as he left, needed to sit. He needed a second to not have a heart attack after doing that hug, because he was way too nervous about that. He feared that Erina would hate him for that but seemed that it went well but right now he was exhausted and he had to go to pay Lucy for her information so he went to a nearby bank and using the account of White Hope he paid the price. Luckily White Hope's account had like 15 zeroes thanks to its nonstop flow of cases and each month they gained way more that 50000 because they gained like a 10% of all what had the account and that without talking of the several contracts with several industries that did weapons that paid White Hope to test their newest weapons.
Right after passing the money that Beat owned, Lucy called him.
-Beat: Hey Lucy.
-Lucy: Hey Beat. Hendricks is dead?
-Beat: Yeah. Also the kid he was creating. Erina is a bit down.
-Lucy: You love her?
-Beat: You know the answer to that.
-Lucy: But you don't want to rush. You fear the answer.
-Beat: Yes. The worst poison for teamwork is pity.
-Lucy: Stay by her side. And you are taking way too much risk.
-Beat: I know but that's why I pass you this information. Keep it, when I find more proofs I'll send them. And when we can find what the hell happened there, we will unleash it all to Francis.
-Lucy: You know that he is... well... of the Hell family?
-Beat: Yeah, I know that he is the grandfather of Erina. But his connection to her is equal to zero. He just sees her as a tool. A tool which I liberated.
-Lucy: Beat. Against Francis we are not the best to handle that. Well, no one can handle this! He is way too powerful now!
-Beat: And!? We will wait until we can face him. The elections.
-Lucy: But the others are way too corrupted too!
-Beat: Then, you find someone we can support. That's the only way I have to handle this trouble.
-Lucy: I see. You are taking your cards well. I'll have to go. I talk to you later.
-Beat: Understood. We talk later.
Beat finished the call and went back to his office.

Meanwhile in a morgue, Francis was looking at the corpse of Hendricks. He was truly dissapointed on how Hendricks failed into his mission.
-Francis: If you did your job since the start, Beat would have nothing at all to work with. Now I have those bastards giving him info as far as they can, Winggate almost singed, the spectra was almost about to do so. And the rest are afraid that Beat finds more if he goes checking. Now my plan to get a country with me as a king is going really bad. But well, we can always pull off a trick or two and come out clean. But with your corpse, some things might get out of hand, brother. Sorry, it is not personal just a little cleaning.
Francis put a bomb in the corpse of Hendrick and got out of the building. Then all the morgue exploded leaving nothing behind that could use as a proof.

Francis has something in mind! And Beat is pushing him far! What will happen!?
