Seeing Gene's impassive reaction, both Dennis and Hugh were delighted.
"This man is so full of himself," Hugh quickly continued. "He got Sif Lionheart killed and drove a wedge between my family and the Lionhearts! And he knows no shame, claiming to have saved your life, Mr. Pearce! It's a blatant insult to your name, not to mention he cwithout an invitation and basically barged in here!"

He was completely oblivious to Hugh and Dennis' accusations against Frank, as all he felt was his body changing after just sniffing the Jade Marrow Pill. He zoned out as he stared at the pill, his expression alternating between disbelief and delight and shock.
His fingers trembling, he carefully closed the wooden chest and carefully returned it to Frank.
"Everyone..." he began, hesitating for a long while as if it took him great effort to speak.
Eventually, he gritted his teeth and bellowed, "The pill... is real!" The bombshell left the guests in the hall stunned, and it was none other than Hugh who first exclaimed, "What?!" He was dead sure that Frank was a liar, only for Tet to announce that Frank's 'god pill' was real?!
