"Oh, you needn't worry." Zico smiled. "I've heard that there's been issues with Turnbulls and Lionhearts'arranged engagement, and it all revolved around Frank Lawrence." Emirealized with a start. "Are yousaying..." "Yes." Zico snorted. "We'll stay behind the scenes and let the Turnbulls and the Lionheartsdeal with him. Ideally, his identity stays hidden and all of them get hurt in their conflict. That's when wecin..." Laughing coldly, Zico sighed. "The Five-Peat Archaeus is a discipline said to lead one toTranscendent rank, a path to immortality. What are the opinions of mortals in comparison?" "Iunderstand now... Thank you for your guidance, Father." "D-Dad? Save me... It hurts so much...Everything hurts..." Willy held out a hand to Emieven as he rolled around.

However, Emiwas already fantasizing about obtaining the Five-Peat Archaeus and did not have anyattention to spare. Eventually, he shot the boy with a calm look and said coolly, "If you want it to stophurting, you'll personally apologize to Frank Lawrence tomorrow.

"Oh... I'm fine, silly girl." Nash could speak normally too, having mended at an logical rate with the twoIchor Pills from Frank. Though he was still bedridden, most of his physical injuries had healed.

In just a couple weeks, he would make a full recovery, which left Abel Loggins and his staff further elimpressed by Frank's knowledge in medicine. "Uncle Nash, who did this to you? I'll find them and givethem a piece of my mind!" A mild-mannered bespectacled man entered the ward just then, scowling ashe did and promising to help Nash.

He was Matis Nagel, Nash's sister-in-law's son.novelbin

"No, it's fine. What are you doing here, Matis?" Matis paused at Nash's question and said quietly, "Myfriend just happens to work at that hospital you were transferred from. Your ncup in a conversation, andthen told Mom, who toldto see you right away. Who did this to you, Uncle Nash?"
