"You're not going anywhere."
Adam frowned. "Why not? More people searching means we'll find him faster. I've met him before—I can help."
Lyanna's gaze sharpened. "You're going to tell me the truth first."
"I told you, I'm a doctor."
"No, you lied." Lyanna said, her eyes narrowing. "You may be a doctor, but that's not the real reason you're here."
Adam held her stare for a split of second. "Fine. You're right. I'm here for Krainel Salvador."
In the end he chose to say the truth yet without telling his main objective which was the Book of Asmodeus.
Lyanna was caught off guard by how easily he admitted it.
"I came to stop him," Adam continued. "I lied because you wouldn't have believed me. But now you do. May I leave." He straightened, attempting to move past her.
Lyanna, however, wasn't convinced. She stepped in his way. "How did you get an invitation?"
Before Adam could answer, a voice interrupted them.
