PS: You did not read wrong, this chapter is an additional one intended to extinguish high expectations raised by a large sum of money gifted by a wealthy reader in a readers' chat group. Thanks to this gift, I've published this chapter earlier than schedulled at the end of the month. I would also like to thank all the other readers for their contributions. I won't mention names as the list is too long, and, besides, exceeding the character limit would warrant an extra charge!
