"Megan!"
Governor Quill cried at his granddaughter, holding her shoulders as he demanded, "Be honest with me—did Frank poison you?!"
"What?! It has nothing to do with him, and..."
Megan was left stumped by her grandfather's question.
She gulped, flustered even as she answered, "No, he did his best to reason withso that | wouldn't get infected, but | ignored
him and ended up the way | did. Look, | know he's weird, or maybe unlikeable, but he's a good man."
Even Megan herself had no idea why she was praising Frank out of nowhere, though it could well be because Frank saved her life.
"And then there's Uncle Saul..."

Megan then breathed a long sigh. "Mom just toldthat he did not just stop Frank from curing me, but he even attacked Dad,
breaking his arms... It was Frank who cback and defeated him before curingand saving my life."
Governor Quill's visage was thoroughly dark just then.
However, he and Megan's conversation were only audible between themselves, and none of the other Quills could hear them.
In fact, Rex was still feeling triumphant.
He was relaxed despite seeing his grandfather pulling Megan to himself, presuming that Megan would have been told not to blab
beforehand.
He therefore did not expect Governor Quill to suddenly train a furious glare at him.
"What?!"
Rex was left dumbstruck when he saw the murderous glare and turned toward Megan in disbelief.
Did that bitch just spill the beans?!
"Rex Quill!"
A monumental pressure crashed down from above at Governor Quill's bellow.
Even before Rex could react, his kneecaps buckled audibly, and he was instantly on his knees.
"G-Grandfather...?" Rex murmured, completely confused—what could Megan have said to direct Governor Quill's rage on him?!
"How dare you!"

There was another bellow from Governor Quill, and Rex was hanging his head, sweat dripping all over his face.
Even so, he kept trying to push his luck. "W-What's wrong, Grandfather?!"
"Sir, why are you angry with Rex?"
"Hero?! Heinous bastard?!"
Governor Quill laughed icily. "The way | see it, there's no hero here... and the heinous bastard is actually someone else?!"
"What are you saying, Father?!"
While he spoke, he was glancing awkwardly at Megan too...
"Misunderstanding, you say?! So you're going to keep pretending?!"
Every member of the Quill family traded glances at his words, and the faint-hearted ones were immediately on their knees,
trembling!
