00:00Hi guys, Kevin here. Listen to full episodes of Insta Empire exclusively on the Pocket FM app.

00:10Drake walked up to Phoebe and smiled apologetically.
00:14President Anderson, this is all my fault.
00:17Sometimes Ruben can be obnoxious and I should have known better than to send him to such a fine establishment.
00:22Please accept my sincere apologies.
00:25That's a very nice apology, but it really should come from him.
00:29Phoebe said as she pointed to Ruben.
00:32Drake grabbed Ruben and shook him.
00:34Didn't you hear her? Open that big mouth of yours and apologize to President Anderson.
00:39You could tell that he was in pain, but Ruben forced himself to speak.
00:43I'm sorry, ma'am, he mumbled.
00:46Is everything settled now, Mr. Williams, Drake asked politely.
00:50We're good, Kevin replied.
00:53Then he turned around and looked at Ruben.
00:55I want you to leave that fruit. Do you have any objections?
00:59Of course not, Ruben said as he placed it on the table in front of Kevin.
01:04How did you get this, Kevin asked as he picked up the fruit and examined it.
01:09He kept turning the black fruit over and over until he was sure that he wasn't mistaken.
01:14According to the book that he'd taken from Marshall's office, this was an incredibly rare fruit.
01:20Whoever had put it in the bin at the health food store certainly had no idea what it was.
01:25It probably just looked like a black diamond apple, which isn't quite as rare.
01:29But that's not what it was.
01:32Actually, it was an important ingredient for refining numerous herbal medicines that were described in the book.
01:39Well, are you going to tell him or aren't you, Drake reprimanded his cousin.
01:44Mr. Williams, I found this at a health food store on Cicero Avenue.
01:48It looked interesting because it was darker than the rest of the fruit.
01:52It was the only one like this. I figured I'd let it ripen and eat it later, Ruben answered timidly.
01:58All right, Drake, take him away, Kevin said lightly.
02:02And don't let this happen again.
02:04Thank you, sir, Drake felt as if he'd gotten a presidential pardon.
02:09He grabbed Ruben by the elbow and rushed out of the store,
02:12followed by his bodyguards who were careful not to disturb anything on the way out.
02:17Kevin didn't stay long either.
02:19He said goodbye to Phoebe and led Lily and Rachel out to the sidewalk.
02:23What's the deal with you and Drake? Why does he respect you so much?
02:28Lily stared at Kevin and asked.
02:30It's because he knows I'm very good friends with Mitchell Cook.
02:34Kevin replied quietly.
02:36Lily looked at Kevin and suddenly felt that her seemingly useless husband,
02:40whom everyone looked down on, was somehow different.
02:43Just then, Phoebe ran out of the store chasing after them.
02:47Kevin, I really have to thank you for this, she said gratefully.
02:51It was nothing. Just remember to give me a raise, Kevin said with a smile.
02:56It's lunchtime now. How about I treat everyone to a meal at my house?
03:00Phoebe asked them excitedly.
03:02Before Kevin could say anything, Lily smiled and said,
03:05That would be wonderful. Thank you for the invitation.
03:09Lily thought that it might help the Jones family
03:11if she could develop a good relationship with Phoebe.
03:14After all, the Anderson family was very well respected in Chicago.
03:18Phoebe gave Kevin the address of her family's estate.
03:21It was about an hour and a half from the antique store.
03:24When he got out of the car, Kevin shook his head in disbelief.
03:28The estate was located in the western suburbs facing towards the east.
03:33There were no buildings as far as the eye could see,
03:36which was rare in this part of the city,
03:38where it seemed that every bit of farmland had been replaced by housing developments.
03:43Business must be good, Kevin said to himself.
03:47After everyone sat down on the sofa,
03:49Lily looked around the large, tastefully decorated room.
03:53Then she asked with some hesitation,
03:55President Anderson, forgive me for asking,
03:58but why don't you have any antiques in your home?
04:02It's very simple, Kevin said as the three women turned to look at him.
04:07You know about this too? Lily asked in surprise.
04:11As it turns out, I do.
04:13While Phoebe's family specializes in antiques,
04:16they prefer not to bring any into their home, Kevin explained.
04:20It may sound superstitious,
04:22but they avoid bringing any objects into the house that might,
04:25well, might be haunted, he said very seriously.
04:29Lily and Rachel had their doubts about this explanation.
04:32Lily snickered a little and said,
04:34Bull, you're just putting us on.
04:37Actually, he's right, Phoebe said,
04:39as she brought a tray of appetizers over from the sideboard.
04:42My father told me the same thing.
04:44Antiques are beautiful, but we prefer to keep them at the store.
04:48They chatted for a while longer,
04:50and then Phoebe went into the kitchen to prepare their meal.
04:53Rachel and Lily got up and went into the kitchen to help her.
04:57Kevin took his glass of iced tea and leaned back on the sofa,
05:00but the sofa was a lot softer than he expected,
05:03and as he sank into it, he spilled his drink all over his tan pants.
05:08Kevin grabbed a few tissues in a hurry and tried to dry himself off.
05:13Just then, Phoebe walked out of the kitchen and asked him,
05:16Kevin, do you like chili?
05:18What happened, Phoebe asked,
05:20as she saw Kevin sitting there with a huge dark stain on his light-colored pants.
05:25It's not what it looks like, Kevin tried to explain.
05:29Rachel and Lily rushed out when they heard all the commotion.
05:32What's going on?
05:34How am I going to explain this, Kevin thought to himself.
05:37They think I peed my pants.
05:39I swear, it isn't what it looks like.
05:42I just spilled my iced tea.
05:44Don't you believe me?
05:46Kevin almost wanted to die.
05:48The three women stared at him, unsure how to respond.
05:51I'm going to the bathroom, Kevin said abruptly.
05:54Then he practically ran out of the room.
05:57Just dry off as fast as you can and get back out here.
06:00Lily couldn't believe how embarrassing this was.
06:03She went back into the kitchen to keep chopping vegetables,
06:05thinking about the horrible first impression she was making on Phoebe.
06:09Suddenly, the front door was violently kicked open.
06:13Who are you? Phoebe asked in alarm.
06:16Tie them up, Marshall shouted to his men as he looked around the room.
06:20Kevin, where did you go? Come out now.
06:24Kevin, who was still in the bathroom trying to dry his pants,
06:27heard all of this and started to fear for his wife and friends.
06:30He thought to himself, is that Marshall?
06:33What's he doing here?
06:35Marshall kicked the bathroom door open.
06:38Marshall, what's come over you? Kevin bellowed.
06:41So, you're still pretending, huh?
06:44Marshall roared angrily.
06:46Then he threw a punch at Kevin.
06:48It was a powerful punch that could have knocked out someone twice his size.
06:52Kevin stepped just to the side as the punch passed him by.
06:55He could feel a blast of air against his face
06:58as Marshall ended up hitting the wall instead.
07:00Several cracks appeared on the spot where his fist landed.
07:04Marshall, how dare you attack me? Kevin said indignantly.
07:09Marshall suddenly looked behind him to make sure
07:12that nobody could hear him and lowered his voice.
07:14I have to know. Where is the book you took from my office?
07:18Just give it back to me and I won't have you punished
07:21for impersonating the Night King.
07:23What are you talking about?
07:25I can't possibly carry books around with me all day long.
07:29Kevin replied very calmly.
07:31Aren't you going to hand it over?
07:33Marshall said with a monstrous look in his eyes.
07:36Those three women out there mean a lot to you, don't they?
07:39How about if I give them a fade worse than death?
07:42Is that a threat? Kevin asked expressionlessly.
07:46Let's talk somewhere else, Marshall said as he pulled his fist back.
07:51They walked into one of the other rooms.
07:53As he went down the hall, Kevin could see Lily and the other two women
07:58tied up in chairs by the dining room table, surrounded by Marshall's men.
08:02Kevin didn't dare to fight back now that Marshall
08:05had taken his wife and friends hostage.
08:07After Kevin closed the door, Marshall asked in a bitter tone of voice,
08:11Where's the book?
08:13I told you, I don't have it with me, Kevin said coldly.
08:17Are you saying you don't want to hand it over?
08:20Marshall said.
08:21Just as he was about to attack Kevin again,
08:24Marshall fell to the ground heavily and broke out in a cold sweat.
08:29Damn it, Marshall cursed.
08:32Kevin relaxed when he saw the painful expression on Marshall's face.
08:36Have you been poisoned? Kevin asked with a slight frown.
08:39Marshall didn't answer Kevin's question.
08:42He felt like there were countless ants biting him from head to toe.
08:46Kevin walked over to Marshall and knelt down next to him
08:49to observe him for almost a minute.
08:51An herbal did this to you, didn't it? Kevin asked in surprise.
08:55How do you know? Marshall said in shock.
08:58Kevin knew which herbal pill Marshall had taken.
09:01While some of the herbal concoctions in the book
09:03could help someone with just one dose,
09:06others had to be taken over a period of time to have an effect.
09:09But this one had a very serious flaw.
09:12You had to take it every six months or you'd have a serious relapse and possibly die.
09:17The head of the Alliance did this in order to better control the members.
09:22Marshall, if I can make an herbal pill that will help you,
09:26will you let us go? Kevin asked calmly.
09:29He clearly remembered reading about this in the book.
09:32He remembered the recipe and knew that the black fruit
09:35he'd gotten earlier in the day was indispensable.
09:38It was an incredible coincidence, but Kevin wasn't worried about that right now.
09:43He needed to save Lily, Rachel, and Phoebe.
09:46That's impossible. Only the head of the Alliance can make that,
09:50Marshall said in astonishment.
09:53I don't care if you believe me or not.
09:55If you get the pill, will you let us go? Kevin asked again.
09:59All right. It's a deal, Marshall stammered.
10:03You still have two hours before it gets critical, Kevin said to him.
10:07I'll be back in a minute.
10:09After saying this, Kevin opened the window and climbed out.
10:12Then he went to his car and got the black fruit.
10:15Although Kevin was reluctant to help Marshall,
10:18this was the only way he could save Lily and the others.
10:21When Kevin got back, he took Marshall to the kitchen.
10:24As he watched Kevin, Marshall was dumbfounded.
10:27How does he know how to do this? He wondered to himself.
10:31Half an hour later, Kevin had finished refining the pill that would act as an antidote.
10:36To save Marshall from the effects of the pill that the head of the Alliance had given him.
10:41By now, Marshall was drenched in sweat.
10:44The pain was torture, and he collapsed to the floor.
10:48If you want to live, then take it now, Kevin said as he put the pill in Marshall's mouth.
10:53Five or six minutes later, Marshall looked a lot better and slowly got up from the kitchen floor.
10:59You'll be fine in another few minutes.
11:02Now can you let us go? Kevin said calmly.
11:05If Marshall hadn't kidnapped Lily, Rachel, and Phoebe,
11:08and if he hadn't come in there with so many men,
11:11Kevin wouldn't have used the black fruit to make the antidote for him.
11:15Marshall looked Kevin in the eye and begged him.
11:18Sir, please save my men.
11:20They've been given the same pill.
11:22Without the antidote that you just made, they'll all die within three days.
11:27Marshall's original plan was to get the book back and return it to the Alliance
11:31in exchange for the herbal medication that he needed.
11:34But it turned out to be very difficult for him to find Kevin.
11:38First he went to Dominic Archer's family, then the Jones family,
11:41and then the Williams family, one after another,
11:44but he couldn't track him down until today.
11:47At this point, even if he had the book,
11:50he wouldn't be able to get to the Alliance headquarters and then return in time to save his men.
11:55Kevin frowned and interrupted Marshall.
11:58While I admire your loyalty to your men, I really can't save them.
12:03What do you mean, Mr. Williams?
12:06If you could make the antidote for me, I'm sure you can do the same for them.
12:10Marshall sounded desperate.
12:12Unfortunately, to make another batch, I would need more of the black fruit.
12:16As you can see, I used all that I had to make your pill.
12:20I just found it by chance today, and I have no idea where to get more on such short notice.
12:26Kevin said helplessly,
12:28Are you talking about the black fruit that looks almost completely black and has a faint fragrance?
12:33Marshall asked.
12:34You know about it?
12:36Kevin asked in surprise.
12:38Mr. Williams, they're really not all that hard to find.
12:41I'll send one of my men to get some for you right away.
12:44Marshall was very excited and relieved.
12:47Kevin got excited too.
12:49If Marshall really had a source for that black fruit he needed to make his pills,
12:53it would be a huge help to him.
12:56At this point, Kevin knew that making enough of the pill to help Marshall's men would be a piece of cake.
13:01Knowing that Kevin would help him save his men made Marshall feel a little ashamed of his behavior toward him.
13:07He had almost harmed someone who could be a valuable asset to his organization.
13:12All they had to do now was to wait for his aide to come back with the black fruit.
13:26Now.
