"Saint?" Dean was startled: "Is it Aisha's sister?"
While he was deep in thought, a faint fragrance wafted over from the dark prison cell. It did not smell like any perfume or rouge. Following it was a slender and graceful figure, carrying a huge sword on her back.
When they saw her face, both of them were stunned, and blurted out almost in unison: "It's you?!"
Aisha was surprised to see Dean curled up in the cage. She had a good memory since childhood. At a glance, she recognized the boy that she had met once. Moreover, the situation of that meeting was a bit special. It left a deep impression on her. At this moment, she never thought that the boy who was framed by her sister and sent to the orphanage would be the one she met last time when they were hunting the splitter.
Dean was also surprised as he didn't expect to meet the girl who had killed the splitter here. Many doubts in his heart were instantly answered.
Aisha had said that her sister could hunt monsters within level 100. But this girl could easily defeat the splitter last time. Although the splitter had just laid eggs and was injured by him, but it was a legendary monster!
There was a world of difference between a legendary monster and an ordinary monster at the same hunting level. In short, both of them were level 20 monsters. But a legendary monster could easily kill an ordinary monster. But a legendary monster was far beyond the hunting level defined in the monster atlas. For example, the legendary splitter which was level 68 was not inferior to an ordinary monster which was level 100!
It was obvious that she was Aisha's bad sister since she had such strength and was a member of the Dragon clan.
Of course, he wouldn't believe Aisha's nonsense now that he was in such a situation.
"Are you Hailey?" Dean asked.
Aisha was surprised. She shook her head: "I'm Aisha. The person who was in contact with you is my sister Hailey."
"Are you Aisha?" Dean was startled: "No wonder she didn't worry that I would confess to her when she caught me. It's because I would only confess to 'Aisha'. Sure enough, she's calculated everything, including my resistance. She's going to make use of everything. "
Thinking of this, all the mysteries in his heart were solved. When Hathaway saw his handkerchief, she recognized it as her sister's, so she used him and pretended to be her sister to get in touch with him. The first time they met, she invited him to join the Dragon clan. She tried to let him enter the inner wall. It was obvious that if he agreed then she would take him to a forbidden area of the Dragon clan.
At that time, the Dragons would inevitably arrest him and investigate him in detail. Then they would follow the clues and point the spearhead to Aisha.
But at that time, he refused.
Moreover, he had become suspicious at that time, and Hathaway had probably seen through this. Hence, when they met again, she wasn't as impatient as the first time. She didn't confess and invite him. Instead, she chose another method, which was to provide him with the God's Marrow.
First she gave him God's marrows to win his favor. The third time they met she gave him the secretary of the Dragon clan. The fourth time she used the evidence to arrest him and frame the real Aisha.
In a flash, Dean understood the whole story and the conspiracy process behind it. When Hathaway had sat on the ruins of the high-rise building and talked about her sister, she was vicious. Now it seemed that she had added emotional factors into it. Most of the elements were smearing the reputation of her sister.
He was startled as he thought of this. He looked at Aisha: "The person who gave me the handkerchief … is you?"
Hearing Dean mention the handkerchief, the surprise in Aisha's eyes quickly disappeared. She couldn't help but carefully look at Dean. She was convinced that this was the little boy she had brought to the orphanage. After all, although there were black-haired and black-eyed bloodlines, there were not many of them. Most of them had brown hair and brown eyes. Moreover, she had only given the handkerchief to one person.
"Are you the child who was wandering in the street in the heavy rain?" Aisha stared at him even though she was convinced in her heart.
There was a trace of strange feeling in Dean's heart when he heard a girl who was only one or two years older than him call him a child. But he had suffered a loss before. Although he was convinced that his guess was not far from the truth, he decided to carefully ask again: "Do you remember the situation at that time?"
He didn't ask Hailey directly but he asked her indirectly. But she said that she didn't remember.
Such an answer was reasonable at that time. After all it was eight or nine years ago so it was normal that she didn't remember.
"The night was dark and it was raining heavily." As soon as Aisha heard Dean's question, she knew that he had suffered because of her sister. She wanted to confirm his identity. She couldn't help but recall that night. It was the first night she climbed over the wall and left a deep impression. "At that time, you were walking on the street, wearing strange clothes. Your face was very pale, like a bloodless corpse. I saw your whole body was wet. The rain was too lethal for ordinary people like you, so I took you to a shack to take shelter from the rain..."
Dean was stunned.
When he heard her say that he was "wearing a strange outfit", he was already convinced that this was the cute little girl who brought him to the orphanage. At that time, his body was weak and he almost fell down. She was the one who supported him all the way.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly surged with warmth, but in the next moment, it was followed by a chill from head to toe.
Aisha's eyes narrowed as she saw Dean's face suddenly turn pale. She stepped forward and said: "What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? I see that your body temperature is very low … "
"I'm sorry …" Dean didn't seem to hear her words. He lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly: "I hurt you, I …"
He rarely blamed himself, but this time he felt a strong sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart. This sense of guilt twisted his heart into a ball, as if his body was being strangled, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The reason why he wore the handkerchief was that he hoped that if he met the little girl again in the future, he could return her kindness. However, not only did he not return this kindness to her, but he also hurt her again!
Although he knew that the main cause of this incident was Hathaway's plan, and his hatred and killing intent towards her were the same thing, it was an unavoidable fact that he had fallen into her trap.
He wouldn't completely vent his anger on her, but he regretted that he didn't listen to his intuition when he noticed that something was strange, but was swayed by his own feelings!
Seeing Dean's painful look, Aisha was slightly startled. She didn't expect that this person, whom she had only met twice, would blame himself for this matter. There was a trace of apology in her heart, and she whispered: "I'm the one who should say sorry. If I hadn't indulged her for so many years, she wouldn't have done such a thing. She just wanted to deal with me, but she got you involved. It's me who implicated you."
Dean still lowered his head, slightly shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "If I could be more sensitive, I wouldn't have fallen into her trap, and there wouldn't be today's situation. Not only did I let myself fall into such a situation, but I also hurt you. This is a failure, a fatal failure! If … If I could be more rational, trust my intuition, and hold the attitude of 'I would rather kill the wrong person than let go', I wouldn't have been deceived by her. "
Aisha suddenly felt that there was a stubbornness in this boy, a lonely stubbornness. Her eyes flashed slightly, and her cheeks softened a bit: "That's right, but you believed her because you thought she was me, so you didn't guard against her."
Hearing her comforting words, Dean knew that she was right. This time he wasn't rational enough. He didn't listen to his intuition several times, but was swayed by his subjective feelings. This made the pain and hatred in his heart stronger, and at the same time, there was a trace of confusion. He didn't hate Hailey, but himself.
"A kind person will be gullible to others. A bad person will be ruthless when dealing with others, and would rather kill the wrong person than let go! But … for familiar people, close friends, relatives, lovers, if because of a little suspicion, they would rather kill the wrong person than let go, then what kind of person are they? Or are they still human? But if I don't … How many people will pretend to be my relatives, friends, and stab me when I'm least prepared? "
He thought of Kroen who betrayed him, Jenny's father who framed him, and Hailey's disguise … If he was just an ordinary person, then perhaps he wouldn't encounter all these things?
But he had come this far, and couldn't return to ordinary life. Even if he could be an ordinary person, how could he be willing? How could he stop because of the fear of encountering these things again?
