Start the War
Chapter 030
Sebastian looked at Brittany arrogantly. As expected from a Craige.
"I ran a background check on you," he said. "You're with Cheska since she started her schooling. Always on the same class as her. Now, you transferred on the same university as her and just like before, still on the same class as her."
Brittany' jaw clenched. Sabi na nga ba niya, a merely weapon won't make a Lee shake. Nakuha pa rin netong magsalita ng tuloy tuloy without stuttering.
"A Mafia acting a Commoner is something that no one must take lightly. Sometimes the reason is shallow but most of the times..." he paused and gave him an accusing look. "the reason is evil.'
Hinawakan niya ang kaniyang pulsuhan at inilayo ang hair stick sa kaniyang leeg. He leaned forward. Brittany had to lean back to avoid being in close contact with him.
"Let me rephrase my question then," he whispered. "What...are you planning to do with Cheska?"
He let go of her wrist kaya bumagsak na iyon. Humigpit ang kaniyang pagkakahawak sa kaniyang hair stick. Nawalan na siya ng pake kung masaktan man siya o masugatan.
Sebastian looked at her impassively. Namuo ang katahimikan sa kanilang dalawa. He waited...patiently for her response ngunit wala siyang sinabi.
Since he has no intention of staying with her for an hour, naisipan na niyang umalis. But before he could take another step, finally Brittany spoke.
"If you really did a background check on me...then why you don't know the answer to that one?"
"I want to hear the answer from you," he straight up answered. "I don't want to assume something I'm not even sure of. Besides, there's something that doesn't add up. Only you can explain that one."
Kumunot ang kaniyang noo at tumingala. Ano naman kaya iyon? Anong kakaiba ang kaniyang napansin?
"That is why I am asking this. What are you planning to do with Cheska?" Sebastian repeated. "If you're concern I might sell you to the Lees to counter your plan, worry nothing. I have no intention to be dirty. My only concern today is Cheska's safety. I want to know if she's still safe with you."
Marahang napaawang ang kaniyang labi. Something is strange.
Why is he being considerate?
That is not...
Binalewala lang din niya ang tanong na iyon. Perhaps she's overseeing things. Right. That guy is a Lee and Lees are known to be so good at mystifying others.
"I am not planning anything to Cheska."
Sandaling tumaas ang kilay ni Sebastian.
"Believe it or not. I am not planning anything."
"Everyone has this evil agenda to our family. They want revenge. Aren't you one of them?"
Napaismid siya roon. "I tend not to use violence against violence. Kung sanay kayo sa ganoong pamamaraan, I am different. Lorenzo and I may have the same objective but our ways are completely different from each other."
"Then what is this all about? Why are you always with Cheska? Why would a Mafia like you waste your time on her if you're not planning anything?"
"I am using her," she explained "The Lees killed my family so how am I supposed to avenge them to those murderers? I have no intention to be like you. I didn't know what to do until I met Cheska...again. That's when I know what I should do."
