Frank finally understood how Ciaran survived the siege of Mystic Sky Sect thanks to Gus' tale—Gus himself protected her.
But in the end, Ciaran fled abroad and learned the insect hex techniques of Talnam, which now appeared to be caused by trauma.
It left him hesitant too—what if Gus found out that the infamous South Sea Crow was that kind girl who saved his life? What would he think?
"Like | said, | owe Mystic Sky Sect my life." Gus sighed. "It's a debt | can never pay."

Frank waited for a moment before speaking quietly, "It seems that you have seen through me. | must also thank you for not telling anyone, since no
one in Morhen seems aware.”
Gus smiled and raised a palm. "It's really nothing."
Frank's gaze turned milder too. "Though we stand apart, I'll treat you to escorting my fellow apprentice to safety. But if we have to fight again... Don't
expectto hold back."
Gus chuckled bitterly in turn. "You're really merciless, Mr. Lawrence."
Frank shrugged. "Anyway, I'll be refining a set of pills, and I'll have it delivered to your address. Take it punctually, and you'll make a full recovery in
days."
Gus stood and bowed his head. "In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Lawrence."
"Farewell," Frank said and turned to leave.
He then ran into Abel and his grandson Jim. "Mr. Lawrence? How did it go...?"
"Yeah, it's done. There's nothing to worry about."
"Oh. Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" Abel exclaimed.

"Yeah, we owe you now," Jim agreed.
Their relieved reactions left Frank puzzled. "Why are you thanking me? It's Gus Zeller I'm helping."
"The signboard?" Frank then remembered the shiny golden signboard of Loggins Apothecary.
Abel promptly joined in with his grandson. "That's right! It's our honor if you're willing to be listed!"
Jim and Abel traded glances at Frank's words.
Their reaction left Frank thinking they could not do it, so he shook his head. "If you can't, | guess—"
"Just a moment." Abel stopped Frank, smiling confidently.
