On the other hand, Winter was unusually protective despite her usual delicate mannerisms,shielding Frank as she snapped, "F-Frank is a very busy man.”

Her classmates were certainly dissatisfied.

"That's sly, Winter!"

"Yeah, aren't you just keeping him to yourself?"

"It's alright, Winter."

Frank patted her head and smiled—he never received formal education himself and was thereforenot averse to the students’ eagerness to learn. "If you're all interested, I'll try to make time for alecture every month.”

"Once a month...?"

The students were all disappointed, though something was better than nothing.

Winter blushed even as she braced herself against the other girls’ pointed looks. "That's plenty!Frank is very busy!"

Frank made a solemn face just then. "Alright, class dismissed.”

As the students all thanked him earnestly for his lesson, he was once again reminded of his juniorapprentices who always fooled around.

The thought left him clenching his fist.

As he strode out the lecture hall, Bravo Lambert hurried to him.

He had been waiting for over two hours and littered the floor with cigarette butts.

Seeing Frank frowned at the mess, he paused before wheeling on one of his boys and smacking himon the head. "We're at a school! Why were you smoking? Clean that up right now!"

The man appeared wounded. "But that's your mess..."

"Oh, the cheek! Get a broom right now!"

"Okay..."

The man had to give in and left to get a broom.

Frank finally spoke at that. "So? What did you need me for?"

However, Bravo frowned at the students around them. "Why don't we talk someplace else? Thisreally isn't the place to talk about it."

"Sure." Frank nodded and left Winter with Jean. "I have something to attend to, so I have to go.Mona should be taking a stroll somewhere on campus, so remember to bring her home."

"Okay." Winter nodded despite being reluctant to see him go.

With that done, Frank got into Bravo's car, and they headed to a secluded private room in a dimly litbar.

Bravo then said, "Mr. Lawrence, when you saved my boss Kurt Stinson... You said he was poisonedwith Stellar Wormwood, didn't you?"

Frank nodded, remembering what went down at Flora Hall. "Yeah... So? Did you replace the poisoner?”"We couldn't single out anyone,” Bravo admitted. "But we've been looking into the herb trade latelyand finally traced it to the Salazars of Sunny City."

"The Salazars?" Frank paused, suddenly reminded of the martial elite who served Donald Salazar.The man, Jaud White, was from a hidden sect in the South Sea.

Jaud had poisoned Vicky with Snowshade later on as well, but the Salazars had since suffered a vitalblow.

With even Sage Lake Sect denying them support, they were on their best behavior recentlyespecially after their Beauty Pill failed to take off, beaten thoroughly by the Turnbulls' RejuvenationPill.
