At least he taught her well, that was. Alistair's thought, when Jade didn't take his bait and instead went into counteroffensive with her wild claims and voice dial.
The agent tilted his head to the side thinking. She was hard to read or rather, almost impossible to read for him, another testament of good training, but other, more subtle nuances to this were giving him hints about whatever was she telling a truth or not.
"And do you think that telling me was a smart move?"
He asked with a cold smile on his face.
"Because now, you are leaving me with no other choice but killing you."
"Soru!"
With a finger of his right hand straightened, almost as if he wanted to use Shigan, the agent kicked the ground beneath his feet dozens of times in a blink of an eye, reaching such a speed that he became virtually invisible for a naked eye. Instead of attacking her, however, the agent walked around her, appearing once again three steps behind her back.
"That's probably something I should say if I believed you, right?"
Alistair asked, letting the tone of his voice reflect the amusement he felt from this game.
"The thing is, even if you were recording our little chat, which I doubt you did, it would be useless for you. Or do you want to tell me that your father would be happy if you attracted the attention of higher-ups to whatever shady project he sent you to scout me for, am I right?"
Now that was a long shot even though Alistair was selling it as a certainty. After all he didn't really beloved, that someone with Gheata's reputation would be giving names and descriptions of other agents to his daughter without any purpose. And this whole situation simply felt strange, so he tested his luck.
