A Little Experiment

" You really think that anyone in power would let go of any means to exert power?" 

Lord Harley asked while stepping before the raised platform. Over twenty thousand crystal shards were emerging from the platform, each emitting a distinct aura of life. 

Kurtis' face fell. He obviously knew the answer to the question but couldn't believe the answer was coming in front of him like this.

He glanced at the platform and detected the presence of not only his Source Crystal but his entire family. Even the other Alphas carrying the blood of Hestia had their crystals here.

"Then the Source Crystals The Phoenix gave us were fake!" Kurtis exclaimed in horror. 

"No, they are real. You see, idiots like you are easy to fool, but not everyone in the family is an idiot."

"...." Kurtis tightened his fists.

First that Kiba and now Lord Harley. Why do they both have to insult him like this?!

He was angry but helpless.
