Chapter 344 Chapter 344 - Light
'Fuck don't tell me he really noticed the difference?' Aiden thought as he was asked for another potion.
"Uh… I might have another one."
Aiden was currently checking his pockets, or at least, acting like he was trying to find one because there was no way in hell that he would be giving another one to them.
A few seconds later, Aiden looked back toward David with a sad expression on his face as he knew that David wouldn't like what he would be saying.
"No, there's only two of them at the moment, but I can go see Anna and ask her to craft another one," Aiden said as he prayed that David wouldn't do anything else.
He knew that if David were to go and see Anna then this whole plan would be completely useless which was something that she wanted to avoid by all means.
"Oh, is it long to craft them?" David asked with a pensive expression. "Maybe I could go see her craft one?"
Aiden immediately saw through what he wanted to do and he reacted instantly.
"No, no need… there's no need to go see her. Also, it takes a few hours for her to craft them it's really complex."
That was yet again another lie that was coming out of Aiden's mouth without the slightest problem. He was getting better and better as the seconds passed, and he understood how to show to the director that he was sincere.
"Uh, alright then I won't go see her. But didn't you say that you could drink one earlier, so shouldn't there be three of them?" David asked as he suddenly picked up on something that was quite strange.
Aiden frowned when he heard that as he hadn't even thought of that.
'Shit, what can I say now?
"Right, well I was just going to take one of those for myself," Aiden replied as this was the first thing that came to his mind on the spot.
David nodded as he was finding this whole thing quite weird.
'Why is so attentive to details today?' Aiden thought as he had noticed in the past days that the director was easy-going not caring about anything.
Well, apart from his training. As long as it wasn't related to his training then everything would be alright and he wouldn't even ask questions. But Aiden knew that he must be quite worried about the effect of the potion since it didn't even exist previously.
"Just wait here, I'll go see what Anna has to say about this," David said as he opened a small portal right in front of him.
'This is over, there's no way this will work, fuck!' Aiden shouted in his mind. He knew that Anna would say that he was the one that had sent him.
Everything will turn to shit and the director would learn that he wouldn't be able to use mana for the rest of his life completely breaking his trust in Aiden.
Who knew what would be his reaction when finding out about that part?
Aiden knew that there were good chances that he would be the one who would die by his hands, and if it came to that then Aiden would have no choice but to use that [Return Stone] that he had acquired in his second trial.
'I need to try something else,' Aiden thought as he knew that if David crossed that portal then he would be done.
There was nothing he would be able to do, his whole plan would fail.
"Wait! I think I have one more potion," Aiden shouted as he put his hands in his back pockets, showing up high that he had another vial.
He knew that this was way better than David leaving to go and meet with Anna. If such a thing were to happen, then… it would be the end for Aiden.
There was no way that he could beat the director in a one versus one. He had tried once and he had been completely demolished by him, and David had even given him multiple chances to try and survive against him.
However, Aiden had been the one who got badly hurt in that fight, even putting his life on the line which was something that he was used to doing, but still, it was at another level this time.
If the director had been absent then there would have good chances for Aiden to die as Space Mana entered his system, killing him off slowly but surely.
"You found one?" David questioned as he turned his head, surprised to hear Aiden once again.
This time, David noticed that there was definitely something weird about this whole situation.
There was something that Aiden wasn't revealing and David wanted to know what it was.
Still, he decided to act as if nothing was wrong closing the portal that he had just created.
Aiden seeing this sighed, celebrating in his mind. 'Oh… that was a close one.'
However, he ignored what had just happened inside the director's mind.
Aiden didn't wait any longer as he quickly handed the vial containing the potion to David, wondering what he would say.
He hoped that he wouldn't notice anything that was wrong with the potions.
'Alright, let's see,' David thought as he grabbed the three potions in his hands looking at them closely, analyzing if there was something different about all of them.
Aiden was currently praying that the sun wouldn't be coming out as this would make this whole thing much more obvious. However, he had forgotten one important detail and that was Garestsa, the most stupid person in the world.
"Do you want me to illuminate them?" She asked.
Aiden shook his head as he couldn't believe what she had just asked, she had just made this whole thing a lot easier for the director.
It was now almost sure that he would be figuring out if there was something wrong with those potions.
"Yes, please that would help me a lot." The director smiled, wondering if he was about to discover something or not.
