"Ms. Scott, this is regarding your request to investigate Serenity Lewis's life in Latveria for the last five years. We've completed the investigation. I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results, but there's an additional fee." A man's voice spoke to Gwen on the phone.

Gwen was relieved to hear that the investigation had come to fruition, but her mood immediately soured at the man's demand. "What, you need more money?"

"When you requested the investigation, you didn't mention that she's the current Mrs. Valor, Jackson Valor's wife! I'm already taking a huge risk by giving you this information. You've only paid that much money, which isn't enough."

Gwen grew resentful. That much money… But she had already paid 45 thousand dollars! Hiding her spite, she asked the man, "How much do you want?"

"750 thousand dollars," the man demanded.

Gwen almost cursed out loud. 750 thousand dollars! That was extortion!

"Do you think the information you're giving me is worth 750 thousand dollars?
