"Because I have a plan for you, Gravis," Orthar said.
Gravis was surprised that Orthar admitted it this openly.
"You're admitting it directly?" Gravis asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You're not stupid, Gravis," Orthar said. "You know my personality since you know Orthar. Acting like I don't have a plan is meaningless."
"Okay, then what is your plan?" Gravis asked.
Orthar only continued looking at Gravis evenly.
"Not even your father knows that," Orthar commented.
Gravis glanced at his father and then looked at Orthar again.
Then, Gravis smirked.
"Well, has father ever asked you?" he asked.
The Opposer furrowed his brows.
Orthar only looked at Gravis.
Then, Orthar smirked, which was quite surprising.
The Orthar Gravis knew had never shown something like a smile or a smirk.
"No, he didn't," Orthar said.
"So, will you answer me?" Gravis asked.
Silence.
"It seems like, in some sense, you are already superior to your father," Orthar said, glancing at the Opposer. Gravis could see a glint of dislike in Orthar's eyes when he looked at the Opposer.
The Opposer only looked emotionlessly at Orthar.
"If I refuse to answer, it means that I have something planned for you that you don't like. So, if I have something planned for you that you wouldn't like, I would be forced to lie to you. However, a lie is a lie. You don't need to find out the truth to know that it is a lie. You only need to find a single inconsistency. As soon as it is exposed to be a lie, you will know that I have something planned that you don't like. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lied."
"If I had something planned for you that you were fine with, there would be no reason for me to keep it secret."
Orthar continued looking into the Opposer's eyes with a smirk as he talked to Gravis.
"In essence, you managed to somewhat force me into a corner with only a question. Someone else hasn't managed to achieve something like this before," Orthar said while looking at the Opposer.
