59 Mysterious Truths or Lies (1/2)
Dean looked in disdain as he listened to the utter nonsense Christian sprouted.
”This is the most beautiful scene I can ever imagine, you falling from grace.”
Chuckling at the misfortune, Christian further fanned the flames.
”Pssh, you don't even know the standard 13 stages of cultivation. I bet you don't even know about Lost Worlds or Higher Worlds do you?”
”Of course I know all about the imaginations in your mind. There's probably pixies and dragons that you fight on the daily.”
Sarcasm filled the sentences but Christian had enough of the satire.
”Do you honestly think you've won?”
The sudden seriousness in Christian's voice caused Dean to pause as he slowly uttered a question.
”What do you mean?”
”This fight at best will just cause another suspension and that's it. However for you... it's too late.”
Trying to intrigue Dean's curiosity he obviously knew that Christian was trying to get at something by purposely teasing him
”What?”
Christian suddenly burst into laughter realizing that Dean had yet to realize what he had already done.
”I assume the reason I got that two week suspension was caused by you as well as that incident during that campaign for a spirit fruit. You were the reason behind it.”
Dean was taken aback as he never revealed his existence to Christian anytime within the time he had enrolled into school.
Thinking back, Rose should've told Christian at this point.
But the most bothersome part was how did Christian know he was behind the sabotage of the spirit fruit that he desired?
Leonard would very unlikely tell a single lie unless...
”What did you do?”
Christian chuckled at the sudden seriousness of Dean
”You've just realized? I knew you would've attempted to do something reckless while i'm in the most pitiful time of my life. Even if you didn't this would've been a good bait.”
Dean's guess was not off the mark however Christian had first researched on both of them before making any sudden moves.
Losing his patience, Dean grabbed a nearby stick and poked it against Christian's skin. Blood crawled down the wood.
”Spill it!”
The act of desperation and the shivering voice of worry couldn't escape Christian's ears.
”Not just him, your entire family as well. Leonard will have... let's call it an accident while your family. Hmm, I don't know how to phrase it. All died by immolation for the sake of me.”
Dean paused at the realization and suddenly laughed.
Leonard was within school grounds and shouldn't possibly die while his 'family' had already broken connections with each other.
They were nothing more than strangers.
Christian was about to ask what was so funny however Dean abruptly dropped to his knees and fell on his back onto the muddy ground.
