    "What''s so funny?"


    Frank frowned, really wondering if Alba was crazy.


    Wait, maybe he was the son who was driven insane by Governor Quill''s death aura?


    Nheless, Alba stoppedughing and leered at Frank in disdain. "You said you''re here to help my daughter?"


    "I am."


    Frank nodded. "Your daughter tried to mess up a business transaction that I had, just to prove that she''s better, even taking all the merchandise with her. But she''s proven tock both skills and brains and has ended up infected by parasites.


    "Today is the final day for her to get cured. If she doesn''t and the eggs hatch, she''d be bug food."


    The soldiers behind Frank actually twitched as Frank''s creepy description, but Alba remained skeptical.


    In fact, he chuckled coolly. "I''ve already sent for Dr. Georg. He''s the best doctor on the east coast, and he has determined that my daughter isn''t suffering from infection. It''s just an allergic reaction!"


    "Exactly. On the surface, it looks just like an allergy."


    Frank nodded as he spoke quietly, "But the rashes are just the body''s reaction to the presence of foreign bodies inside. If you use medicine that counters allergies, it would have the exact opposite effect and incubate the eggs, making them hatch quicker."


    "What would you know?!"


    Alba''s face fell as he bellowed, "Dr. Georg graduated from Oxenfurt, one of the world''s top universities. He''s also a student of Professor Roberts, who''s famous for his work on virology and infectious diseases!


    "You aren''t even fit to lick Dr. Georg''s boots with his resume alone, and you''re doubting his diagnosis?"


    Frank was actually surprised that Alba mentioned Professor Roberts, since it was a familiar name.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Back when he was treating George Turnbull, Professor Roberts had proven his integrity despite his foreign roots, and it left a strong impression in Frank''s mind.


    After all, when the serum Professor


    Roberts developed failed, he had openly admitted that Frank was better. He had even insisted that the Turnbulls acknowledge that it was Frank who saved George, and not him.


    Later, Frank heard that he had been traveling around Draconia to learn local medicine, while staying in contact with Frank himself.


    That was why hearing the man''s name now left Frank feeling nostalgic.


    "Hmph!"


    Seeing that Frank was silent, Alba quickly presumed that Frank was intimidated andughed. "Do you get it now? Quit embarrassing yourself here my daughter doesn''t need a peasant like you! Dr. Georg is more than enough."


    "Really?"


    Frank chuckled, shaking his head at Alba''s confidence. "Then I guess I should tell you that I''d once beaten Professor Roberts." "What?!"


    Frank''s bragging left Alba doing a double take, but he soon roared withughter. "Brat... I''m actually impressed! Professor Roberts lost to you? How thick-skinned can you be?! You''ve got some real balls, boasting like that!"


    Frank remained impassive. "It''s the truth. Why wouldn''t I say it?"


    Nheless, their conversation could be heard in the room down the hallway.


    A blond foreigner with surgical gloves then opened the door and stepped out, his baby-blue eyes ring fixedly at Frank. "Sir, you may insult me, but do not insult my mentor. Do you understand?"
