The Masters must've thought the money at stake is too lucrative to continue indulging in such kind of grumpy politics.

The young man had vanished. He was not just there, not anywhere. It was absolutely physically impossible for him to disappear in that short time period. Just to make certain Grandpa checked the frontal lane and the backyard. No, dissolved into thin air!

He never saw the young man again in his life and could never trace him to any event.

More to come...!
