Frank nodded. "Well, that's decided.”

"Wait..." Noel suddenly said hesitantly.

"Yes? Are there any issues like the Soranos?" Frank raised a brow and said confidently, "Don’t worry.They aren't a threat.”

"No, of course I'm not worried with you around, Mr. Lawrence.” Noel laughed. "What concerns me isthat they'll be taking their entrance exams soon, right?"

"Oh..."

While the other Spades were not affected, Kat was grimacing guiltily—clearly the underachiever inthe group.

"It's George Turnbull—the present head of the family Glen Turnbull's father” Abel replied. "He's ill..."Frank breathed a sigh of relief that it was not Vicky, his tone turning calm. "What about him?"

"He started feeling sick yesterday and coughed a mouthful of black blood this morning along withmany tiny maggots,” Abel explained. "I can't diagnose him at all... That's why I'm consulting you.""Tiny maggots, black blood? Frank rubbed his chin and frowned. "That sounds like a bug from theSouth Sea... Only the vile elements would cultivate such arts. Who on earth did the Turnbulls messwith?"

"You really are knowledgeable, Mr. Lawrence!" Abel could not help exclaiming over the phone,though his tone soon turned awkward again. "May I ask if you have a cure?"

"It's difficult, but not impossible.” Frank nodded confidently, but he soon chuckled as heremembered something else. "If the Turnbulls want my help, have them come to my doorstep or I'mstaying out of this.”

With that, he hung up.

"Huh? Mr. Lawrence? Mr. Lawrence?!" Abel exclaimed, but soon sighed exasperatedly as she staredat the screen, showing that their call had been disconnected.

He was suddenly left wondering if Frank had beef with the Turnbulls too.

The Turnbulls happened to be crowding around Abel, with the current family head Glen askingeagerly, "How did it go? Is your mentor going to come and treat my father?"
