Sin found himself in an unexpected exchange with Sia, a person from his past whom he hadn't crossed paths with for quite some time. Her initial compliment caught him off guard, and he offered a simple "thank you" in response. It was a genuine expression of gratitude, but beyond that, Sin was at a loss for words.
However, Sia was not finished with her commentary. She continued speaking, her words cutting through the awkward silence that had settled between them. She questioned Sin's understanding of power and its implications. In her view, the prevailing rumors about Sin being a malevolent figure were not entirely unfounded.
He didn't know how to respond to the conversation, primarily because he was well aware of the dark rumors that had shrouded his reputation for years or it should be said the reputation of the original Sin.
She accused him of past and ongoing criminal activities, delivering this assessment with a cold, unyielding tone.
Sin's initial confusion gave way to a complex mix of emotions. He wrestled with the accusations laid at his feet, questioning the extent to which his actions had led to this damning perception. Still, he refrained from responding immediately, choosing instead to assess the situation more carefully.
In that moment, Sin couldn't help but wonder about Sia's motives. Her sudden appearance and the harsh judgment she passed on him left him suspicious of her intentions. It felt as though she had approached him not out of genuine concern or curiosity but rather to taunt and belittle him.
As the conversation hung in the air, Sin contemplated his past deeds and the choices he had made. He knew that his actions had consequences, and he couldn't simply brush aside the accusations Sia had hurled at him. This unexpected encounter opened Pandora's box of self-reflection and uncertainty, leaving Sin to grapple with the complexities of his own past and the potential motives behind Sia's harsh words.
Sia's arrival was far from solitary; she was accompanied by two striking young women whose demeanor hinted at a similarly privileged background. Sin's perceptive eye couldn't help but notice the presence of a few guards discreetly trailing behind them, undoubtedly serving as the guardians of these three women. The sight of the security detail confirmed that they were not mere casual visitors but rather individuals of importance.
However, the atmosphere took an unexpected turn as one of the young women decided to break the ice. With a compliment that started on a flattering note, she acknowledged Sin's undeniable handsomeness. But her words took an abrupt and unexpected turn as she continued, stating that Sin's reputation was uglier than anything she had ever encountered. Her bold statement hung in the air, casting a shadow over the moment.
Sin, ever the astute observer, shifted his gaze towards the outspoken girl, his expression unreadable. In response, he posed a question that carried a sense of gravitas and self-assuredness. He inquired whether she was aware that her own behavior might be equally unbecoming. The unexpected query caused the girl's initial smile to falter, replaced by a puzzled expression as she sought to understand the reasoning behind his words.
Sin's reply to her query was both thoughtful and stern. He explained that even in the company of an adversary, common etiquette dictated refraining from making derogatory comments about a person's reputation during their initial encounter. He subtly pointed out that her conversational approach had revealed a lack of proper education in the art of polite discourse, especially when meeting someone for the first time. He suggested that she might benefit from learning from Sia, who had initially engaged in a sweeter and more cordial conversation before introducing her concerns and misgivings.
However, instead of letting the matter rest there, Sin chose to add a surprising twist to the conversation. His expression softened into a semblance of a smile, but it was a wry and somewhat mocking smile that seemed to suggest a playful challenge. With a touch of irony, he uttered, "I apologize; I misspoke. In truth, both of you exhibit ugliness, not in appearance but in behavior."
The weight of his words settled heavily upon the gathering, causing a moment of stunned silence. Sin's declaration was a direct and unequivocal assessment of their actions and attitudes, delivered with the confidence and authority of a seasoned warrior.
But Sin wasn't done yet. He took a dramatic step forward in the encounter, one that underscored his unwavering self-assurance. With an almost theatrical flourish, he opened his Sharingan, a formidable and legendary eye technique known to few. It was a symbol of his unmatched power and skill. His final words were a stark and unambiguous directive: "I suggest you return to your abode and receive proper instruction on how to engage in respectful conversation with others."
At that moment, Sin had not only defended his honor but had also set a clear precedent for how he expected to be treated by others, be they friends or foes. His actions and words had sent a powerful message that respect and decorum were not to be compromised, even within the unpredictable and perilous confines of the world they inhabited. As the two women at the back heard this, their expressions a mixture of astonishment and embarrassment, Sin's aura of strength and conviction remained, a testament to his unwavering principles in the face of even beauties.
The room was fraught with tension as Sin unleashed the formidable power of his Sharingan, a technique known for its ability to exert profound influence and induce fear in those who gazed upon it. As the crimson patterns within his eyes swirled and intensified, a palpable aura of intimidation radiated from him. It was a display of dominance that left most of the onlookers, particularly the women, stricken with terror.
However, amidst this sea of apprehension, one figure stood out. Sia, the woman who had talked first with Sin, remained an island of tranquility amidst the turbulent waves of unease. Her smile, which had graced her lips from the outset, didn't waver in the face of Sin's potent Sharingan. She appeared calm and collected, displaying an inner fortitude that surprised Sin.
