Chapter 179 - Its Not A Joke. (1/2)

”With a twin in the picture, even if you were to be killed, your twin could always take your place and nobody would ever know,” The man spoke with a smirk as he explained, ”And there is also a possibility that the one who kills you might just be your power-hungry twin.”

Hecathe's lips twitched as he heard this and he was clearly not amused to know this.

”That's some sort of a sick joke, isn't it?” Hecathe clicked his tongue as he questioned.

”But it's not a joke,” The man stated as he tilted his head, ”Why else do you think there was such a ridiculous rule?”

The three willows of spring were clearly power-hungry manipulators who didn't care for anyone but themselves. The only reason why they were in power was also because of a lot of blood-shed and conflict. With all this considered, it shouldn't have been hard to believe that they would go as far as to make such a rule, however, somehow Hecathe was still a bit shocked and disgusted.

To love power more than one's own blood...? It was truly a bit disgusting for Hecathe..

”I guess I answered all your questions with that?” The man asked politely.

”There are still two questions left,” Hecathe responded with a sigh.

”What are they?”

”First question: Who sold you this house?”

The man smiled as he heard this and didn't hesitate to answer, ”Dorka's sister. After both her brother's passed away, the house was under her name and she wasn't a person who enjoyed secondhand things.”

”So she simply sold it away...?”

”What else was she supposed to do with it?” The man asked with a scoff, ”Was she supposed to build a barn and raise a few cattle in it...?!”

”...”

”What's your next question?” The man clicked his tongue as he asked, ”You said there were two, didn't you?”

Hecathe nodded his head as he spoke, ”Second question: What is your name? And by name, I mean your real name.”

”My name” The man repeated with a small chuckle, ”So you finally have time to ask such crucial details?”

Hecathe pursed his lips into a thin line and didn't bother responding to this as he simply waited for the man to answer the question.

”You can just call me... Psion.”

”Is that your real name?” Hecathe raised his eyebrows.

”So what if it is and what if it's not?” The man tilted his head as he asked back.

Hecathe opened his mouth to say something but in the blink of an eye, he was already thrown out of the house along with LeiLei and Marvin who lay unconscious on the ground.

Hecathe closed his mouth as he gulped the words back down and sighed as he looked down at the other two.

”You two gonna wake up anytime soon or should I just leave you behind?” Hecathe asked but it was only natural that he didn't get a response from the two unconscious teenagers.

”Hmm,” Hecathe hummed as he waited for a minute before concluding, ”Good choice. I'll head over to the guild first.”

Hecathe didn't hesitate to turn around as he steadily walked away from the place.

Since the man called Psion had already thrown them out, it was clear that there was going to be no further discussion with that man today.

”You bastard, don't just leave us on the ground,” Marvin clicked his tongue as he spoke in his groggy voice.

The boy slowly woke up and came to his senses as he looked around in confusion.

LeiLei also seemed to have woke up with this.

”I'll wait for exactly a minute,” Hecathe stopped walking as he looked down at his watch and spoke.

”Why are you in such a hurry?” LeiLei frowned as she questioned, ”Don't we still need to go inside that old house?”

Hecathe felt his muscles tense up as he heard this and he turned around to look at LeiLei as he questioned, ”You don't remember anything?”

LeiLei and Marvin looked at each other in confusion before they turned to Hecathe and shook their heads.

”Is there something we must be remembering...?” Marvin asked in confusion as he tilted his head.

Hecathe gulped as he heard this and glanced back up at the old mansion that stood behind the two.

The wall that had previously been broken by Marvin somehow fixed itself and Hecathe would have almost been willing to believe that he had been simply dreaming if it weren't for Psion waving at him with a wicked smile as he stood behind the window.
