Frank did not feel much sympathy even as he watched Alba sob and beg at his feet.
If anything, he thought Alba deserved it-even Alba''s quarrel with Saul now was just a matter of two cutthroats going for each other''s necks. Naturally, the reason he came back at this critical juncture was none other than Governor Quill, his maternal grandfather.
He had been ready to leave Quill Manor when Governor Quill called again and asked him about Megan.
Frank thought about it but ultimately spoke the truth.
Governor Quill flew into a rage right then, even cursing out loud-being a military man of such an important position, he was certainly not a soft man.
Still, despite his rage and being fully ready to return and wring Alba and Saul''s necks, Governor Quill was left stunned again as Frank told him, "They''re all arrogant and spoiled. There''s no saving them now, not when they treat the families of your fallenrades like ves while only respecting them when you''re home.
"I refuse to have anything to do with them. You''re the only one I care for, Grandfather. Also..."
Pausing, Frank then sighed exasperatedly, "I don''t think I''ll be staying around long, let alone inherit your office as the governor. I''m going to rebuild Mystic Sky Sect."
Governor Quill turned silent at his words and soonughed coolly with clearly repressed rage. "I''m sorry, Frank. I''ve really embarrassed myself here... As you can see, I am a failure of a father and a parent. Since there''s no saving them now, I shall personally return and wipe them all out!
"You should leave and not tell those scum anything. You cane over and visit me once I''m done sorting out this mess."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
"Grand-"
Before Frank could finish, however, Governor Quill had hung up.
Frank was left holding his phone in silence as Winter Lawrence and Jean Zims looked on.
He took a deep breath and turned to nce at the grand exterior of Quill Manor.
His grandfather was really as swift as he was decisive!
There was no way Frank could leave without a care now-if he really did, everyone in Quill Manor would be dead, judging from Governor Quill''s repressed rage alone.
After all,mon sense did not apply to someone of the Transcendent rank who had a body count worth mountains.
Naturally, a military career also
meant that Governor Quill''s
temperament had be less than mild. That was especially seen in the way he treated his family, as he was obviously strict at first before basically giving up on them.
But despite Governor''s Quill tendency to deal in absolutes, Frank knew from the old man''s tone that was really happy when Frank suggested that he might visit.
In other words, he was simply not good with his family-not that he did not care.
Even so, if he returned to Quill Manor furious and saw how the family of his fallenrades were treated as ves, it would go without saying that Governor Quill would do something drastic.
Frank did not even need imagination here to see that in his rage, the old man would do something that he would regret-just like how he had driven his youngest son insane back then.
As such, Frank certainly could not just stand by and do nothing for his grandfather''s sake-not for the Quill family.
