Ned paused upon hearing Frank asking about his father's condition, and his heart skipped a beat when he remembered how Frank had counteracted the nervebreaker that Pax used on them before.

"My brother said my father's lips had turned purple," he explained. "His limbs are also twitching and icecold, and he has already lost consciousness."

Frank nodded and could tell right away that an ice-type poison had been used on Ned's father.

Musing to himself, he said, "We can discuss the partnership later, but you'd best keep this pill with you if you want to stay alive long enough to do so."

"Huh? What?" Ned appeared puzzled even as he took the yellow pill.

"It's a pill that specifically counteracts ice-type poison. If your brother has given you the correct description, that's what your father's been poisoned with. The pill will at least remedy it for a few days."

The pill was no real loss to Frank either, since it was nothing that precious—it was just some pill he refined while he was refining other pills.

"Thank you, Mr. Lawrence!" Ned exclaimed and hurried away.
