Chapter 1825
As Frank stared fixedly at Ms. Quill, he asked, "If I'm guessing right, it took no effort for you to get both of these, right?" "How'd you know?"
Ms. Quill did a double take but soon glowered and held out a hand at Frank. "Return the spiritron vein and the Celestial Dew to me! They're both mine!"
"Yours?"
Frank laughed despite himself at the young woman's unreasonable attitude, shaking his head. "You're still worried that I'm having them, even now. You're just a mouse that has fallen into a trap but is still more concerned if the cheese is real. Honestly, you're as dumb as you look."
Frank's insult left Ms. Quill scowling.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
On the other hand, Titus was glowering from some distance away and demanded loudly, "Frank Lawrence! What proof do you have that this room is poisoned?"
"He's just trying to steal my treasures for himself!" Ms. Quill butted in. "We should be taking him down right now! Anything else can wait!"
"Shut up!" Titus snapped at her right then.
"What..."
Ms. Quill was shocked that Titus was not siding with her and was left seething as it felt like she was being ostracized.
She had been born with a golden spoon in her mouth and raised in an ivory tower. She had certainly never suffered the insults and pain she suffered today!
"Titus Lionheart, was it?!" she snarled viciously. "How dare you side with that maggot! You're a dead man!"
However, Titus ignored her and kept his eyes fixed on Frank.
Frank was actually not inclined to explain himself to Titus. However, as many Clear Winds Pavilion
apprentices were still in the room, he needed to show them something that would really make an
Lov
impression and send them running.
"It's simple, he said, pointing at
Azar, who was now as stiff as a statue. Come over and take a look at the chief of the Clear Winds the
Pavilion, and you'll understand."
"Hmph..."
Titus scowled as he came over, taking Azar's wrist.
However, he flinched and withdrew his hand as if jolted the next instant, while his expression looked as terrible as it possibly could.
After all, brocade mites were crawling out of Azar's face, pores, and nostrils.
It was too shocking a sight, and even Titus stumbled backward in sheer repulsion.
He glanced at Frank, finally understanding why Frank was trying his best to reason with Azar even when Azar attacked him.
In fact, Frank's efforts telling him to stop for his own good was very much reasonable it was Azar's own fault for refusing to listen, and now, he was dead.
"Hmph. You're all just working together to trick me!"
Ms. Quill still refused to believe it,
even striding up to look ahet
face, murmuring haughtily, "Poison? Bugs? He's clearly just shocked by who I am... Argh!!!"
