"In other words..." Frank reared his head and leveled Glen a look ofdisdain. "Vicky is only worth fifteen billion dollars to you?"

"What, is that not enough for you?" Glen frowned in growing impatience—Frank really had an appetite!

"No." Frank smiled, shaking his head. "In your world, money can buyeverything... But for me, it's just scrap paper. I won't give up on Vickyno matter how much you pay me, because she's priceless to me.""Frank Lawrence!" Kendra flipped out right then, pointing at Frank asshe snapped, "We've been playing nice, whippersnapper!"

"Be reasonable!" Glen bellowed at Frank too. "I've been extendingenough olive branches endlessly, but if you keep being stubborn...""What?" Frank leveled a gloating look at Glen's furious glare."Retainers! Take him—we'll enforce our family's law!" Glen bellowed,giving up on all pretense since Frank was not giving in.

He would Kill Frank right here and now—they just had to make himvanish if he refused to give up on Vicky!

"Wait." Frank suddenly held up a hand just as the Turnbull familyretainers strode up, ready to charge at him.

"What else do you have to say?" Glen demanded, mustering hispatience seeing that there was a chance Frank would come around."Mr. Turnbull,” he said, pointing at George on the bed and smiling. “Iwon't lie to you—there are still five eggs I have yet to extract from yourbody, since I only have that much stamina. And if the rest aren'textracted in time, the same thing that happened to you before willhappen again... and in five days, your organs would be completelydissolved and devoured clean. But the agony you'd be put throughbefore that? Hehe..."

Frank trailed off, but Glen's face turned ashen while panic showed onGeorge's face.

The anguish earlier was still fresh in George's memory, and hescrambled out of bed, begging Frank, "No... No, no! Please, you haveto help me... I don't want to go through that pain again..."

Kenda shrieked at the same time, "You monster! Threatening a patientwith his life?! And you call yourself a healer?! Don't you know theHippocratic Oath?!"

Frank actually fumed at Kendra's despicable insult, but he simplysmiled and shook his head. "Oh, but I don't care. Glen Turnbull overthere insisted I wasn't the one who saved your husband—it wasProfessor Roberts. With that being said, I shall bid you farewell. Youcan ask Professor Roberts for help... just pray that his serum wouldactually work."

With that, he started to turn and leave.

Just as he reached the door, Glen called out in clearly repressed rage,"W-Wait, Mr. Lawrence.”

"What?" Frank turned and grinned at him. "I wasn't the one who savedyour father anyway. Why would you stop me?"

"You little..." Glen almost snapped at Frank's clear sarcasm.

He had certainly not suffered such humiliation as the leader of theTurnbulls!
