As Glen reared his chin at Frank hostilely, Titus strode up.

Tto show Mr. Lawrence what proper experts can do —it won't be too late to kill him after." That was exactly what he wanted—to beat Frank physically and psychologically, just to wipe that smug grin off his face and make him kneel before him.

At the stime, the Turnbulls and Lionhearts' retainers encircled Frank and did nothing else, since Glen would not go against Titus when he wanted the Lionhearts' help.
Having had his orders, Professor Roberts opened his briefcase. Pulling a green tube from a cold storage case, he inserted it into a syringe while saying, "Thanks to the medical records the hospital provided, I've prepared three syringes of antidote on my way here." He then injected the green fluid into a vein on the wrist. "If only | was allowed to work sooner, the patient would be spared much pain... This would take effect in a couple of minutes."

It just won't fly." "Exactly," Kendra glared at Frank in disgust. "Look in the mirror—who do you think you are to offer medical treatment to our illustrious family?" Frank remained silent, his eyes fixed on George's face.
Titus was satisfied, presuming that Frank had accepted defeat and would not say a word now.
Everyone waited for Professor Roberts’ serum to work, and George suddenly opened his eyes, actually waking up right then.
What they did not expect was for him to suddenly sit up and breathe a blood-curdling scream, clawing at his own throat as he threw up a mouthful of pungent black blood!
