Attack

"Long Jianyu," Alex spoke the man's name in a somber tone. "Why are you here?"

Alex knew in his heart of hearts that he should be running and that staying here was a bad idea. But the anger he felt inside of him overwhelmed him from making every other decision.

He didn't know why he was so angry. The source of his anger seemed to be a complete mystery to him. Was it because this was the man who had reported to the Emperor about him? Or was it because he had been hunting for his sister the entire time and Alex knew about it?

Alex didn't know and he didn't care to know. He simply stared at the man, waiting for answers.

"Unfortunately, we were tossed away by your people, King Alex. They told us that we were no longer allowed there," Long Jianyu said. "We were saddened to leave, but it seemed that we didn't have to be sad. We were fortunate rather. Them sending us away led us directly to you."
