Revealing Some Truths

There was definitely more to what happened during the ancient war than this man knew. He yearned to learn the truth, but knew he would not find it here. He put the thought aside, once again focusing on getting out of this situation.

"Well, one of them apparently escaped that cleansing," John said firmly, "and that Asura targeted me specifically. I was forced to flee, and only thanks to the help of my master, my sect leader, and several others close to me, I was able to escape the Asura by the skin of my teeth and enter that formation, at which point I came to this world."

John fell silent, breathing in then out deeply. He had revealed the truth, and now it was up to the man to believe him or not. The man continued to stare at John, his frown lingering on his face, no doubt weighing the truth of John's words. 

"Even if you are telling the truth, why would an Asura be interested in you?" the man eventually asked, voice tinged with doubt.
