"Did none of you even look up his family?" Al asked with a raised eyebrow, he hadn't realized that it would be much simpler to break Ilya's trust in Colin.
Ilya hung his head, defeated by the thought that he had been manipulated by Colin.
"Did he really tell you that he climbed his way up the ranks?" Al laughed maniacally. "Tell me, Ilya, what did he tell you about himself?"
Ilya looked away, ashamed that he had given up everything to follow and help a man that had done nothing but manipulate him and his people.
"I feel bad now." Al hummed as he kept his eyes on Ilya.
"About what?" Yu Zimo asked playing his role perfectly helping Al manipulate Ilya into doing exactly as Al wanted.
Al didn't answer, instead, he stood up and made his way to Ilya's side.
The other man noticed that Al had moved, he lifted his head and followed Al's movements with his eyes.
