"Betrayal?" Hate Gelei burst into contemptuous laughter upon hearing the words, "Barrette, what do you think you are that I would owe you my loyalty? I lurked by your side, enduring humiliation and suffering, just to teach you the lesson you deserve!"
"You..." Barrette gasped, "Are you really Le Yisi?"
"Indeed, I am the real Le Yisi!" Hate Gelei finally shed his disguise, admitting, "To gain your trust, I asked the Saint Heir for a new face and even orchestrated a series of coincidences, leading me naturally to your side."
"Coincidences? When I was being hunted down by enemies, you nearly died saving me, and that was just a coincidence?" Barrette found it hard to accept.
The reason he trusted Hate Gelei was because when he was ordered to return to the clan to assume the position of Family Head, he was attacked by several top assassins from the underground black list. Hate Gelei was stabbed more than a dozen times trying to save him and nearly died on the spot.
