Against the Lion

"What do you mean how my Uncle died?" the Lion asked. "He died due to Qi deviation."

"Did he?" Alex asked, getting more daring now that he had been caught. "Are you sure it was an accident and not a murder?"

The Lion's face fell when he heard that. "You…" he said in a low voice. "What do you know?"

Alex was surprised to see the change in attitude from just angry to serious rage. It seemed he had brought up a topic he shouldn't have. 

However, that also gave Alex some idea that the Lion was clearly hiding from him something that he knew. Worst case scenario, the Lion was involved in his uncle's murder and was thus trying to hide information from everyone.

"What do you know?" the Lion shouted.

"I know you're not telling me the truth," Alex said.

"Tell me!" the Lion shouted. His roar created a visible golden ripple that flew toward Alex.

Alex quickly used the All Swirling Elemental Shield while his body bled to form armor on him.
