Dr. Schulz responded, "He can only live bedridden now."

"Take good care of him, don't let him endure too much hardship..."

"I am an old acquaintance with Jonas Manor Lord, if there is any need, you can send someone to Kakasong City to find me anytime."

Janet gratefully replied, "Alright, Dr. Schulz, I'll have a guard escort you back."

Dr. Schulz glanced at Krueger and the others, then stepped out of the doorway.

The guard drove the carriage, sending Dr. Schulz away.

Janet knocked on the door before entering, walking into Jonas's master bedroom.

Joao and the other two followed behind and entered.

Janet strode to the bedside, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Looking at Jonas lying on the large bed, she spoke with concern.

"Grandfather, are you feeling better?"

Standing behind Janet, Joao and the others also looked at Jonas.

Seemingly hearing Janet's call, Jonas, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

He tried to open his mouth with difficulty, but no matter how hard he tried, no sound came out.

In an instant.

Janet's eyes started to shimmer, her voice tinged with tears.

"Grandfather, don't speak, just rest well for now."

After letting out a few difficult murmurs, Jonas slowly closed his eyes again.

Though his breath was faint, it was still long-lasting.

Janet covered Jonas with the quilt, stood up, and spoke to Joao and the other two.

"Uncles, shall we go outside?"

Joao and the others nodded.

On the corridor outside the door, Janet gently closed the door.

Janet spoke first, "Uncles, what should we do now?"

"Uncle Eduardo is dead, and Uncle Simoni is dead too!"

"Even I, as a woman, can see that someone is hunting the descendants of the Frank Clan!"

"Now Grandfather Jonas has also fallen..."

"Shouldn't the Frank Clan do something about it?"

Joao remained silent.

Philis also stayed silent.

Their eyes turned to Krueger.

Krueger only shrugged, speaking helplessly, "You think I have a solution?"

After those words.

The four of them fell into silence once more.

A moment later.

Janet sighed softly, saying, "Uncles, you should rest early."

"Grandfather can't get out of bed now, so I'll take care of him..."

"As for everything else, Janet is powerless..."

Janet bowed slightly, saluting the three, then re-entered the room.

Philis glanced at Ruan and Krueger, then left on his own.

Just as Joao was about to leave, Krueger's voice reached his ears.

"Brother Joao, do you have time... to talk?"

Joao glanced at Krueger, "Alright."

The two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the open-air courtyard outside the castle.

Krueger looked around to ensure no one else was present.

He got straight to the point, "Eduardo and Simoni are both dead."

"Is the next one me, or Philis?"

Joao's face showed no surprise, but he calmly asked back.

"So, you think I arranged for people to intercept Eduardo, and also arranged for an assassin to kill Simoni?"

Krueger raised his eyebrows, continuing to question, "Isn't it?"

"Don't just stop at those two... Even Everett's cause of death, isn't it also closely related to you?"

"I clearly remember, because Everett was the eldest son, capable, and beloved by Jonas."

"You, thinking your father's love was taken away, did not get along well with Everett since childhood."

"If I remember correctly, once you even pushed Everett off the castle walls, didn't you?"

"Facing Old Jonas's questioning, you said he accidentally fell himself?"

Hearing this.

Joao's expression changed, he spoke in a low voice, "Those were matters of childhood!"

"Besides, Everett has been gone for years, and it's all long past."

Joao shifted the topic, "Is there anything else?"

"If not, I still need to take people for an inspection!"

After just a couple of seconds, seeing Krueger not speaking, Joao stepped away briskly.

Watching Joao's departing figure, Krueger's face, which had been casual, turned serious.

From Joao's words and expressions, he felt no ambition for power.

But.

If it isn't Joao wanting to become the Frank Manor Lord, then who could it be?

Philis, who only knows farming?

He might be good at farming.

But using plots to become the Manor Lord of Frank Manor?

Krueger didn't believe Philis had that ability!

Besides, who else could there be?

The remaining few, just six or seven to eleven or twelve-year-old underage brothers?

Or...

Is the real mastermind behind it all the niece he's fantasized about hundreds of times—Janet?

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The townsmen, having completed tilling and planting, returned to their posts, resuming production.

In the castle.

Lynn sat on the Lord's throne, having opened the [Holographic Map], was analyzing the personnel composition of the territory industry closely.

The total population of the territory was now nine thousand people.

Some elderly townsmen balanced out with the newborns.

Starting from the Handicraft Workshop District.

Firstly.

Ehrelo, with six Blacksmith Workshops, had already increased his workforce to twelve hundred people!
