"No rush." Frank rubbed his chin as he continued, "If it's deer musk, it'd be mixed with water, no?" "Nothing you said was right!" Kendra lost all patience and strode up at Frank, pointing at him as she snapped, "Get out of here and stop wasting our time!" "Why don't you just give up already?" Titus Lionheart added gleefully.

"We won't stop you, but you don't get to mention Vicky ever again or set foot in our house, you hear?" Frank narrowed his eyes but eventually nodded. "I have an idea of what Mr. Turnbull has been infected with. The symptoms started a week ago, catalyzed by deer musk which he consumed frequently, and not in solid form..." Taking out the needles he always carried with him, he looked around at everyone and said, "I will now perform acupuncture. If the information you've givenis right, Mr. Turnbull will wake up soon." "Stop it!" Glen snapped, frowning. "Don't bother forcing yourself. Let Professor Roberts work—you're not leaving this house if you worsen my father's condition!" "Exactly!" Kendra spat. "lI won't let you hurt my husband! Glen, call in your men. Get him out of here!" "Wait!" Titus stopped them just as the bodyguards entered.
While he was defending Frank, he certainly did not want Frank to win, just as he did not feel any pressure to save George.
If anything, his top priority was to see Frank fail, yield, and fall to despondence.
That was why he was standing up for Frank—just to make him fail and be humiliated even more spectacularly.

We will take him down if he dares to hurt your father!" "Moreover." He paused, turning toward Professor Roberts. "Whatever he does, Professor Roberts will be able to clean things up. There won't be any problems, don't worry!" Titus' suggestions left Glen in a dilemma.
But Titus was right—Professor Roberts was there to keep things under control.
Moreover, Frank would be discontented if they chased him away right now and would use the excuse of not being given a chance. And no matter what he did, he would never dare step out of line when they had numbers.
As such, reasonably speaking, his father was more or less safe.
After musing to himself for a while, Glen nodded and turned toward Frank. "I'm giving you one last chance because Titus asked." Kendra immediately snapped, "Glen! It's obvious he's not an upstanding man. Are you sure—" "Don't worry—Dad will be fine with Professor Roberts," Glen assured her. "We can handle anything that happens."
