However, why would the Salazars of Sunny City have a problem with Kurt, whose operations were based in Riverton?
Seeing the confused look on Frank's face, Bravo sighed. "You might not know this, but the Salazars had an agreement with us. We would secure a piece of land and pull strings across Riverton, while the Salazars would build a pharmaceutical factory, which they claimed would help them win a monopoly over Riverton's pharmacy business."
Frank frowned. "If I recall, Kurt was poisoned even before the Salazars' Beauty Pill hit the market."
Bravo nodded solemnly. "Yes. They did not like our asking price, and things went sour. Mr. Stinson must have been poisoned right then… But they returned after a while, very agreeable this time. They even had no problems with Mr. Stinson raising the price by twenty percent, though you saw the outcome for yourself—their Beauty Pill lost to the Turnbulls' Rejuvenation Pill, and that was when they refused to pay us the outstanding cost."
Watching Frank solemnly, he continued, "I heard you had a disagreement with the Salazars yourself, Mr. Lawrence. Well, we're not going to waste our breath with them—we're taking back our land. We're just worried that Mr. Stinson would be poisoned again, which is why we're asking for your help. You don't have to do anything—just help us prepare against the Salazars and save any of our men who've been poisoned. I'm sure your knowledge in medicine wouldn't lose out to the Salazars'…"
Seeing Frank must to himself, he quickly added, "Don't worry, sir—leave the fighting to us, and you'll also be rewarded handsomely."
"I don't need a reward," Frank said. "Tell me, have you heard of the Five Elemental Wonders?"
Frank had an idea just then—since Kurt was East City's Kingpin, he must have plenty of connections, especially to the black market in major cities.
In that case, they would definitely be aware of any tip on the Five Elemental Wonders.
"The Five Elemental Wonders?" Bravo blinked but quickly assured Frank, "Don't worry, sir—I don't know what it is, but if it's ever in Riverton, we'd be the first to find out."
"In that case, I shall do you a favor," Frank said, satisfied.
With Kurt's assistance, the final Elemental Wonder he was missing might be found before long.
