76 Exchanging Information (1/2)

He was absolutely shook at the realization that they were probably not the mastermind as they had been silenced once their uses were gone.

Coming to the conclusion that it was someone else who had been controlling everything in the dark.

It was impossible for Dean as he would've immediately killed Rose on his way here before eventually attempting to kill him since he was in a weakened state.

Dean laughed at the excited Christian, he never expected that such information would cause him to jump to hurried conclusions.

Realizing that his reactions were unrefined, Christian sat back onto his bed and started to talk about what has happened to him in the recent months.

His family had now renounced any responsibilities he once held meaning he was now exiled from the Vikander clan.

Any inherent riches he would get or the connections he once held were now all gone.

Rose's family completely cut off their engagement however they knew that Rose was no longer useful for political uses because she was considered 'used goods'.

In order to make sure that any family that held a grudge with the Vikander Clan, Christian's father completely crippled his cultivation in front of many people.

The pure humiliation and the understanding that Christian was not worth the time, he had learnt to become much more mature.

He said those words to test the waters of Dean and he had prepared something just in case.

To his surprise, Dean only raised his eyebrows at the unexpected news but had no other emotions that expressed any malicious ideas.

A sigh of relief escaped his mouth at the hopes Dean was willing to commit to a peaceful negotiation.

”Let's make a deal. If you're willing to tell me the mastermind who wants to kill me and the people that betrayed me, I'm willing to tell you everything I know about cultivation as well as who killed Leonard.”

Dean heard the last part and was frustrated that Christian currently held the upper hand. If he wanted to get the information from the two teachers then he would have to pay with time and dedication to their teachings.

However he noticed the phrasing of Christian's words.

'Tell me the mastermind who wants to kill me...'

This suggests that he thinks that it's very unlikely that the mastermind was the man before him and from the way he suddenly screamed at the news of Anne and Pierre dying gave him an idea.

If he asked Christian to say his information first then it would seem that Dean was uncertain of himself. Instead what he should do knowing that Christian has no cultivation realm is to say his side first, at the very least half of the conditions.

Referring back to the interrogations done by the teachers, that special guest and the black rectangle, Dean made a plan.

Acting as if he was pondering on his thoughts, Dean finally broke the silence.

”Fine. This person tends to be called 'M'. Anybody that is found to be a nuisance would be discarded like Anne and Pierre while those that have yet to be disposed will have erased memories. M's figure will be blurred at best.”

”M seems to be a master with controlling a person using their desires and thoughts.”

Christian was shook when he heard the motive of his newfound enemy, M.

'Have I been discovered?'
