Bab 63: Felt Little

Hereon's mind raced against time as he formula an answer, his heart still pounded in his chest and his emotions were in turmoil.

The weight of the question pressed down on him.

There was no way he could reveal that he was the one that killed Jason, not when Zane's intense gaze bore down on his very being.

"The Giant Arachnid Spider?"

"Yes."

"The same sub-boss that he had killed?" Zane questioned.

"Yes."

Hereon's heart pounded in his chest.

"How did it kill him?"

"One of its legs pierced through his chest, it stabbed through his heart and killed him." Hereon's eyes searched Zane's face for something, something that would let him know if the boy in front of him wasn't skeptical.

An expression that would alleviate his worries.

But Zane's face was unreadable.
