Noticing Walter's gratitude, Frank smiled but shook his head-it was nothing.
Still, he felt a pang of guilt toward Silverbell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe would definitely have been made to pay for harboring Walter.
On the other hand, the Turnbull elders and executives were quickly expressing their disapproval at Walter for thanking Frank.
"Walter, it's all thanks to Titus Lionheart that you've returned safely! He killed his own sister in the nof justice and exposed the truth. You would otherwise still be in custody!" "Exactly! Why would you thank Frank? If Titus didn't clear this misunderstanding, you wouldn't have made it back to us." "He must have gotten a good word from the mayor." "Tut, tut. It seems that Titus is serious about Vicky and our family. I mean, killing his own sister in the nof justice!" "Probably because Walter is Vicky's father, don't you think?" "Oh, such loyal devotion! What a shame, Vicky..." "Heh. Unlike a certain someone who's nothing more than sdoctor without practice." "Cnow, he got that recording, didn't he, and was bragging about how Walter would be fine?" "Heh. Talk about a lucky shot." "Would Walter really have been safe if not for Titus?" Both Glen and Walter were frowning, since they could hear every word their own family members were saying.
Likewise, they knew that Frank's involvement was the reason Walter was safe, and it certainly had nothing to do with Tltus. The Lionhearts simply had enough influence with the Morhen mayor to frthe story the way they intended.
And seeing that most of his extended family were gathered, Glen glowered as he barked, "There are two matters I will announce now that everyone is here. The first is a change in family policy-the rights of every enterprise and estate owned by the family outside of Morhen shall be relinquished back to the main family.
"Of course, the main family will buy any shares with a price above market value, while the internal policies of every enterprise and estate remain the same. The change is that the main family keeps the ownership, as it's obvious now that our family is at a disadvantage should we start a war against the Lionhearts. "In fact, I predict chaos would soon before Draconia, which is why aside from any foreign branches, everyone in the family must stand together!" The Turnbulls nodded in agreement. They could understand Glen's policy, and every preceding head of the family had that sright too, as indoctrinated by their predecessors.

"As for the second matter..." Glen then turned to Frank with a smile. "Frank Lawrence is now formally a member of our family, as Vicky's fiance." "What?!" While only a minority of Turnbulls disagreed with the first matter Glen announced, most were accepting.
The second matter, however, left them stunned.
A Turnbull executive even strode up and exclaimed in disbelief, "Havez you gotten senile, Glen?! Titus Lionheart is willing to kill his own sister for Vicky's sake! What you're doing is really..." "Exactly! Frank may be an exceptional healer, but what else does he have going for him?!" "You should reconsider this!" Amid the protests, it was the usually cowardly Walter who strode up and took the stage.
Looking around at everyone, he shouted, "Everyone, listen to me!" As the crowd turned silent, Walter took a deep breath before snapping coldly, "This is the truth-Frank was the one, who saved me, not Titus! He was the one who did everything in his power to protect me, including threatening the chief of the Martial Allance!" "What?!" All the Turnbulls turned toward Frank right then.
