The Other Guy (2)

Elena was stunned for a moment, hearing George's answer. But then she smiled.

"Is that really the truth, uncle?" –Elena questioned, not believing George. "I never known you to be a liar. But I also can't believe Uncle Brian to be dead."

"You wouldn't start lying to your niece, who is already close to being dead, right? Something like that would be a shameful thing to do." –Elena said as if she felt hurt.

"Think what you want." –George replied, not bothered by Elena's accusation.

"That guy is dead. And you'll be soon too." –George stated as he shook off the dust from his body.

Scythe flew and stopped near George.

"Master George, you couldn't kill her even after that? Doesn't that mean all those sneaking around were for nothing?" –Scythe said.

"Well, she isn't known as a genius of Broyd house for nothing. You have to remember, though her Black-grade protector died in your first ambush, she somehow survived." –George reminded.
