"W-what do you mean by your words, Senior Russell?" Ian turned towards him and asked with a smiling face, although one could see the smile slowly faltering if they looked closer.
"Oh, you know exactly what I mean, Ian," Russell stared at Ian and spoke with a smile on his face as he continued, "Don't live in a lie, Ian. Sooner or later, it'll eat you up." He then paused for a second, before devilishly grinning at Ian and said, "Oh, and the kid is my opponent, alright? I felt as though I should make that clear to you. Don't worry, I'll take care of him for you." He then turned around and started walking away, leaving a distraught Ian and his lackeys alone.
One of the lackeys tried to comfort Ian. "I-Ian, senior is probably just messing with y-"
"SILENCE!" However, his words were interrupted by a loud shout from Ian, who looked at the silhouette of Senior Russell leaving with hatred in his eyes.
