Unfortunately for Xander, Calix didn't make it easy for him.
Leaning comfortably against the cushion, Calix said, "Investigate him yourself."
"...what?"
Calix's remark caught Xander off guard. He blankly stared at his friend, the frown on his forehead deepening.
"Didn't you just tell me to be wary of Nicholas?" Xander repeated Calix's previous statement, "Doesn't it mean you've already known something is wrong with him?"
Knowing how meticulous Calix was, Xander believed his friend didn't bring this up out of nowhere. The former most likely had uncovered something bad related to Nicholas.
Xander wasn't particularly close to Nicholas. Most of the time, he just treated the latter—Belinda's new boyfriend—amicably during their few rare meetings.
Calix curled his lips upon seeing the confusion on Xander's face. A hint of smug laced his smile as he enjoyed annoying his friend.
