“Not just better. I feel spirited!” Jenson exclaimed, flexing his arms while nodding in approval. “Mr.Lawrence’s Ichor Pill is certainly miraculous.”
“Haha! Like I said, Mr. Lawrence is the greatest miracle worker of Riverton.” Kenny laughed and turnedtoward Rolf. “And you’d actually send our apprentices after him. You ignorant fool.
“What?!” Jenson was growing at Rolf right then. “You attacked Mr. Lawrence?!”
“No, I mean…” Rolf mumbled, scratching his head awkwardly. “You were puking blood after you tookthe pill, and I thought you were poisoned…”
“Preposterous!” Jenson barked and hurried outside.
Fortunately, Frank had not left, and Jenson promptly waved at him. “I’m so sorry for what happenedwith Rolf, Mr. Lawrence. Please don’t take it to heart…”
Even if they could not befriend Frank, they must never make an enemy out of him.
Frank actually did not take offense anyway. “I won’t take issue with such frivolity. You’re better now, Mr.Sparks, and that’s all that matters.”
“Haha! You are truly magnanimous.” Jenson laughed heartily as he stroked his beard. “If you ever needanything, just say the word–the doors of Skyblade Dojo will always be open to you.”
Frank rubbed his chin in hesitation just then. “Aside from the panacea polypore, I have something elseto ask as well…”
“Do tell, Mr. Lawrence,” Kenny said.
“Please keep an eye out for any of the Five Elemental Wonders,” Frank said. “Money is not an issue.”
He had yet to come across any of the other four aside from the wonderroot. Despite the Turnbulls, theZimmers, and the Quills all helping, there was just no such luck.
As such, now that he befriended the Sparks, he would ask them the same favor–the more, the better!
Kenny put his hands together just then, exclaiming, “That reminds me, Mr. Lawrence! I’ve actuallyfound a hundred–year panacea polypore.”
“Really?!” Frank’s eyes lit up, surprised by Kenny’s efficiency. “That’s wonderful!”
Kenny patted his chest confidently. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lawrence. I’ll have our dojo’s apprentices askaround about the Five Elemental Wonders too. There will be news soon enough.”
“Thank you, Mr. Sparks.” Frank nodded.
“You’re always welcome,” Kenny replied. “Regarding the panacea polypore, it’s actually in thepossession of the owner of an antique dealership called Vintagers. However, it’s quite late- why don’tyou stay the night, and I can go there with you tomorrow?”
Frank looked up at the skies and nodded exasperatedly. “Fine.”

Nearby, Rolf pursed his lips and muttered, “Bastard… treating us like tools already just because yousaved the old man?”
Kenny wheeled on him right with a glare. “You shut your mouth right now.”
On the other hand, Frank was completely unconcerned and stayed in the guest room Kenny hadarranged.
Kenny visited him again in the evening, smiling, “Is the room to your liking, Mr. Lawrence?”
“Your dojo’s hospitality is perfect.” Frank smiled in return, although he would have gone to bed earlier.“Do you happen to have something to discuss, coming to see me this late at night?

Kenny chuckled. “Nothing important. I’d just like to have some small talk…”
“You may speak frankly, Mr. Sparks,” Frank said directly, able to see through him right then. I’ll tell youeverything I know in return.”
Kenny was left feeling a little embarrassed.
Shaking his head, he mused to himself for a moment before saying, “Mr. Lawrence… Can I just askhow much the Ichor Pill is worth? Or the recipe, for that matter–will you be willing to sell it?”
