Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis looked more closely at the young man. This was a very specific piece of information that basically no one but his family knew. Yet, there was still a possibility that he overheard Yersi or Orthar talking.

"Yes, I had fun," Gravis said slowly. "But, again, what's it to you?"

"Not much," the young man said, still smirking. "I'm just very interested in you."

"I'm not into guys," Gravis said flatly.

The eyelids of the young man twitched slightly. That comment obviously had an effect on him.

But then, the young man started laughing. "You're really good at this!" he said.

"At what?" Gravis asked.

"At finding just the right buttons to push," the young man said. "You did the same thing when you called the highest Heaven a marauding… you know, to infuriate that middle Heaven."

This guy knew far too much. He even remembered the specific words Gravis had said to infuriate the middle Heaven. Only the present Elders at the time, his father, the middle Heaven, and the highest Heaven, knew that. Gravis never repeated his actual words to anyone since it wasn't really relevant to his story.

"Is this some kind of Law?" Gravis asked. "Some kind of Mind Reading Law?"

The young man chuckled a bit. "That Law does exist, yes, but for you, specifically, it can't be used," he said.

"Why not?" Gravis asked with narrowed eyes.

"Because your mind is full of Punishment Lightning," the young man said. "Not even I can read your mind, at least, not directly like that. I only have way of speaking, facial expressions, and gestures to make my guess," the young man said.

"But that is obviously not enough to guess something so specific," Gravis said.

"That's right," the young man said.

"Anyway, let's stop this little play, Gravis," the young man said. "How about a bet?"

"What bet?" Gravis asked.

"You guess my identity, and I will answer one of your questions. Yet, if you guess incorrectly, you will answer one of mine. Sound good?" he asked.

Gravis furrowed his brows. "Sounds good."

"Then, go make your guess," the young man said.
