As he spoke, Knight reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of small, colorful spheres. He flicked his hand, and the pellets scattered across the ground, rolling every which way until they covered the floor all around Jin Xueli.
Even with her eyes closed, she could feel that these colorful little spheres were all the same type of Illusion.
Jin Xueli didn't know their specific purpose, but she hoped she would never have to find out.
"S-So you really are partners with Chaisi?"
She forced herself to refocus on Knight. "I'm working with Chaisi, too. For some reason, I suddenly lost contact with him recently. Scott needed Original Liquid, so I just helped out… Since we're all partners, why are you so insistent on killing me? I didn't even take Scott's money this time. Couldn't you just go on supplying the Original Liquid yourselves from now on?"
"You're right on the cusp of the truth, Miss Jin Xueli."
