Hence, in no tat all and without any words traded between them, the Quill family had cto a mutual understanding—Frank
was their common enemy.
And sensing that something strange was going on, Governor Quill frowned as he pointed at one of the soldiers and barked, "Tim
Cox! Be honest—has my family been abusing you and your comrades?! | have said before that you are all equal in standing with
them, so why are all of you serving as their security guards?!"
Tim was ready to answer.
Though the scene of his dear comrade Eric dying with his eyes wide on the floor kept appearing in his mind, he also remembered
his sister.

Hence, after musing irresolutely to himself for a long while, he eventually looked up with a smile. "That never happened, sir. Your
family has been most gracious to us... As for serving as security guards, we have been doing so voluntarily.
"After receiving so much from your family, it really hurts our conscience not to give something back."
"What...?"
Even as Frank was left flabbergasted that Tim was suddenly telling a completely different story than from hours ago, Tim hung his
head and pointed at Frank. "But that's not the case for that man. As soon as he came, he goaded us to turn against your family,
promising us wealth and influence once he becomes the governor.
"But because of who he is and our allegiance to the Quill family, we played along to lure him into telling us his plans. We are so
shocked at how ambitious he is... it's creepy."
Frank was left dumbstruck as Tim's words painted an entirely different picture.
Now, he was no longer the visitor who was mistreated but a scheming snake who was intent on becoming the governor.
"Tim Cox, what..."
And even before Frank could speak, he turned and saw the sneer on Tim's face.
He realized right then Tim had been swayed and waiting for this very moment to slander Frank.
And even as Frank was left stunned, Governor Quill frowned as he barked, "Frank! What do you have to say against these
accusations?!"

"Hmph!"
Before Frank could speak, Saul snorted coldly and gestured for his servants to carry his stretcher over.
"Father, you mustn't believe this prick at all! He claimed he was trying to cure Megan, but he actually meant to molest her! She's
his cousin. That animal!"
Saul snarled through his teeth, bellowing indignantly while painting a vivid picture with his words, as if it was the truth.
Then, turning toward Alba, Saul snapped, "He broke your arms too, didn't he?!"
Alba's lips were shaking—his arms were not actually realigned just then.
