Dimensional Descent

Leonel and Sael gazed toward each other somewhat awkwardly. Well, Leonel seemed to still be trying to get a read on Sael with the latter felt as though she was walking on pins and needles.

At this moment the both of them were in the private room of a nearby restaurant. Usually, only seniors of high standing would be able to come to this place, but with her standing, it wasn't a difficult task to get Leonel in. Though she had to withstand quite a number of odd looks, she was still able to brave through it.

Finally unable to take the silence any longer, Sael finally spoke.

"Are you from the Seventh Dimensional Morales family or not?!"

She spoke all these words out in a single breath, the tension she was under carrying a palpable weight.

Leonel blinked slightly. So this was indeed the case, it seemed that his deductions were correct. This made everything make much more sense.

If this was the case, then in all likelihood, Gersan hadn't been there to help Thetris, but had rather been there to either monitor or protect him. It seemed he had jumped to conclusions.

That said, he didn't feel very bad about teaching Gersan a lesson. At worst, the young man would suffer a mild concussion. This sort of injury for someone in the Fourth Dimension might as well have been non-existent. His worst injury was definitely to his pride. But, who asked him to speak such venomous words?

"No." Leonel finally responded.

This response seemed to be enough to deflate Sael completely. Had she really done all of this for no reason?

But in that case, then didn't how was this situation supposed to be handled? If she began to punish Leonel appropriately now, what kind of message would that send?

Everyone wanted to claim to be upright and morally superior, but when you were facing a behemoth like the Morales family… Was it really possible to hold onto your ideals?
