ANOTHER DEAL II

-Blergh!!

Kymani vomited another mouth full of blood. She raised her head and looked at Xander, but as soon as their eyes met, she almost vomited another mouth full of blood. She quickly looked elsewhere, avoiding Xander's terrifying gaze.

'I have been played by this child.' Kymani thought with grief.

"No, you haven't been played by me. I wasn't planning on letting you go through this before, but I had to clear a misunderstanding. Even if the contract is in place, I wanted the two of you to know that I will not place my trust in the hands of criminals." Xander explained his reason for doing this.

'Can he read my mind? Is that one of the conditions written on the contract?' Kymani wondered.

"No, I also can't read your mind. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your face." Xander said.
