Chapter 205 - Revenge 205: His Flesh Wobbled (1/2)
”Yes. That man is our target.” Aaron replied confirming his sister's doubts about their target. But for some reason, something was odd by how Anna asked him. ”Why do you sound like you're very disappointed?” He asked.
”Of course, I am disappointed; I mean look at that guy, he's ugly and fat.” Anna wonders why would most of the bad guys look like that. She does not mean to discriminate against someone's looks, but she can not help it. She is only human; everybody judges a person whether it is on purpose or not.
”Wow. I did not expect the heiress of the Coleman family is like this.” Ophius said in an amused tone of voice. Every time Lucia mentioned Anna, it always has a good description. So he thought that Anna is not the type of person who would say something like that.
Anna looks at him and then awkwardly said, ”I've been wondering for a while now, who are you again?” They have been together since earlier, but Anna has no idea who he is. She only knows his name because of her brother and Lucia calling him out; other than that, Anna has no other information about him.
The smile on Ophius face suddenly froze, while Aaron and Lucia are holding their laughter back. Ophius has been so friendly towards Anna yet, Anna has no clue about his identity. 'Was I invisible in her eyes?'
”I mean, I know your name, but I—” Anna tried to explain herself, but she was stopped by Ophius.
”Say no more! I can't bear to hear you say such painful words.” Ophius said; acting like he is in deep pain because of Anna not knowing his existence until now. He truly can not blame Anna though because, on the day of the game, he and Anna did not have the chance to properly meet each other.
Earlier, he suddenly appeared in front of her not introducing himself; he showed up and pestered Aaron to let him come along.
Aaron looks at his sister and noticed that she is feeling guilty towards Ophius. He leaned forward then whispered in his sister's ears, ”Don't worry, he is not in pain like he said he is.” Aaron reassured his sister that there is nothing for her to worry about because he knows that Ophius is only acting like that based on his playful personality.
Hearing that from her brother, the guilt that she felt for Ophius earlier is now gone. Her brother then whispered to her what is Ophius' real identity, ”He is the son of the Cloris family; his father is one of the important members in the organization. It is okay if you have no idea who he is, after all, you just starting to get to know the current members in the organization.”
What her brother just said is true, for now, it is okay for her not to know every future successor inside the organization because she just recently joined. But when years have passed by, and she still has no idea about the other important members, then she will be labeled as an arrogant person who thinks highly of herself.
The world that the organization is in is a scary place, and if she keeps on acting like she doesn't know anything or acting like an arrogant person; it is guaranteed that she will have a hard time surviving in such a harsh world.
