While Rex's accusation of Frank was a little bizarre, Rex wheeled on him and smirked."Hah! You're still refusing to admit it?! It's obvious you're trying to drive a wedge between us, since Grandfather is asking about our soldiers!"Then turning toward Governor Quill and bowing his head politely, he said, "Grandfather, since Frank claims that we've been abusing the families of your fallen comrades, why don't you ask them? They are standing right there, and they wouldn't lie to you, would they?"At Rex's words, the rest of the Quill family realized with a start the reason why he had the audacity to stand out and accuse Frank for lying—he had a strong hand to play!After all, Eric Holt's resistance was short-lived, completely stifled by Rex's hand just earlier, and those soldiers would never dare come forward now to accuse the Quill family of abusing them.And with Rex holding their families hostages, things would simply carry on as usual, with those soldiers faking smiles and telli

"He's the one who poisoned Megan, so that he has an excuse to meddle in family matters!""Exactly! When we fought back, he poisoned and killed Megan! He's as strong as he's crazily ambitious, sir! You have to be careful of him!""That's right! We're facing a crisis now!"Meanwhile, Frank stood alone in the middle of the crowd as the Quill family slandered him in every way.He certainly noticed that even Governor Quill was looking at him coldly, even showing signs of distrust now. "Frank, what do you have to say against these accusations?"Before this, Governor Quill did not hide his favoritism for Frank, partly because of his mother, even suggesting out loud that Frank could succeed him as the governor.In fact, Frank's attitude and bearing was to his satisfaction—if not thrill—ever since they met in Bralog.However, with his entire family unanimously accusing Frank, Governor Quill could not simply look the other way, no matter how strongly he felt about Frank.Poisoning his co

Alba was naturally considering his stance regarding Frank, just as he knew that slandering Frank would work in his family's favor.Moreover, they must never let the governor find out about all the dirty deeds committed within Quill Manor. Be it taking the soldiers' families hostages, forcing Eric Holt into suicide, or even how Alba himself refused to acknowledge Frank…If the governor ever confirmed that, there would be a drastic change of fortunes for the Quill family, not to mention that the governor's wrath was not something any of them could survive.As such, everyone in Quill Manor now had the same thought—they were the progenies of the governor, so what right did those filthy peasants have to enjoy the same privilege they had?None.Such was the prejudice that came with the privilege that intoxicated the Quill family. They thought themselves lofty, and that they had to prove their status through oppression.In fact, every member of the Quill family felt such a sense of supe

Frank's cold words were undoubtedly dousing fuel to the fire that was Governor Quill's rage.He pointed at the gates and bellowed so thunderously it quaked the walls and left most of it crumbling. "Get out!""Farewell!" Frank snorted as he turned to leave without a care.However, seeing that Frank was leaving unpunished, Rex—who wanted him dead—leapt up right then and bellowed, "Did you think you could just leave, after all the atrocity you've committed in our house?!""Let him go!" Governor Quill bellowed.Rex was left flinching, and he reluctantly backed down.Still, there was no hiding the glee he felt inside—it was not the most ideal outcome, but he would happily take it.From now on, and as long as Saul had yet to recover, all Rex had to do was think of something to eliminate Governor Quill.After all, with no one else in the family having the right to compete for the governor position, it was now as good as his!He only became more smug the more he thought about it and c

Governor Quill then wheeled on Tim Cox with a threatening glare. "Tell me the truth! Were you ordered to deceive me and slander Frank?! Speak!""I-I…" Tim stammered, his whole body trembling under the pressure of Governor Quill despite being a martial artist himself.He glanced awkwardly at Rex in the distance, and at this point, Governor Quill would not have missed a single detail.Even if Tim never said a word, that tiny gesture told him right away that Rex was involved."Rex!" he bellowed as he held out a hand.He projected his pure vigor, which quickly materialized into a giant hand that seized Rex right then, pulling him over. "Are you going to come clean, or should I torture it out of you?!"Governor Quill's expression was cold and murderous, and Rex almost wet himself right then.Even so, he clenched his teeth and shook his head repeatedly. He could not confess to anything, or things would end terribly for him.However, seeing that Rex refused to break even now, Govern
