"Huh?!"

Huub's accusation caught Frank off guard.

Both Helen and Gina were stunned for a moment, but they turned toward Frank too, and he frowned. "Still trying to bullshit your way out of this, and even trying to blame me for using a fake?" "Frank!"

Gina strode up just then, glancing between Helen and Frank as she yelled, "I don't know if Mr. Droitner gave us a fake herb, but he at least had the sincerity to help us along the way! That alone makes him better than you!"

She paused before adding coolly, "Where were you and Helen and I are worried sick for her uncle? And now, you jump out of nowhere. It makes me wonder about your intention!"

Huub was certainly delighted with Gina's outburst, though he chuckled under his breath. "I knew it she really is an idiot."

Then, turning toward Helen with a loving gaze, he said, "I don't know if my Bloodcrane Spiritbloom was messed with, but I swear that it's my family heirloom passed down from my great-great-great grandfather. I wouldn't have taken it out if not for you, but you're now accusing me of bringing a fake... it just hurts so much."

In reality, he was just quickly switching from direct aggression to passiveness, and it certainly proved useful as Helen was vulnerable to passive aggression.
