Jianxin: sneering You really thought you could outsmart me, huh? Pathetic!
"I didn't even try to outsmart you." I maintain eye contact.
scoffs Oh, really? Then what was all that nonsense about teaming up and taking down the Black Dragon Triad together? Were you planning on double-crossing me like you did last time?
"I guess this is where we part ways." DragonflyWhirlwind said, getting up and moving away from him.
Jianxin's eyes narrow as you attempt to leave, his temper flaring up. Hold it. You're not going anywhere until we settle this. He takes a step forward, his hands clenched into fists.
I'm confused. I just need to talk to you about something important for a minute, then I'll go.
scoffs You think I'm just gonna let you walk away after what you did?
eyes narrow What's so important that you think I'd listen to you?
looks up at him why do you hate me so much? I'm the one who took care of you when no one else would...
snarls You think taking care of me means you own me? Ha! You think I need your pity? Your kindness was nothing but a weakness that I've long overcome. I don't need you or anyone else. I'm stronger than any of you realize.
I looked confused as I said. "What are you talking about?"
snorts in disbelief Oh, please, don’t play coy. You think I’m that stupid? I know you’re behind all this, trying to take me down. You always had it out for me, didn’t you?
I narrow my eyes suspiciously.
Jianxin smirks, taking a step closer to you, his gaze filled with mockery.
"What's the matter? You look like a mouse staring at a snake. Did you think I wouldn't notice you coming for me?"
"I guess I was wrong... but now what do we do?" I asked him.
He rolls his eyes at your question.
"Are you kidding me? We finish this."
He takes a step closer, his glare intensifying.
"You may have underestimated me, but don't think for a second that I'll go easy on you."
I turned my head towards him slowly. "Revenge? What happened to our friendship?"
His glare intensifies, and he takes a step closer.
Friendship? Don't make me laugh! You used me, and I'm not going to let you get away with it. I took the fall for you, and this is how you repay me?
"Oh no...you outsmarted me, ha ha." I say sarcastically.
Jianxin rolls his eyes and scoffs in annoyance.
Oh, shut up. Don't act so smug. I got what I wanted, didn't I? You're in no position to be making jokes right now.
I sighed. "What happened to us?"
scoffs Don't act all innocent now. You think I'd forget what you did? How you betrayed me and crossed the line?
I step closer, towering over you.
You thought you could play both sides, play me, and get away with it? You're a fool, Dragonfly.
I look over to him surprised. "Jianxin? What the hell?"
Jianxin sneers, his gaze cold and mocking. "What, did you think I was just going to forget everything you did to me, huh? You really are stupid."
"I don't have time for this." I shake my head.
Jianxin sneers, his expression defiant. Oh, too busy to deal with me? That's rich, coming from someone who's always running away.
"What's pathetic is that you can't let go." I crossed my arms.
he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes narrowing. Let go? You think it's that easy? After everything you've done to me, you expect me to just forgive and forget? he let out a scoff.
I didn't come here to fight, Jianxin... I said softly.
He laughs incredulously. Oh, please. Don't insult my intelligence. You came here because you want to defeat me, to prove that you're better than me. That's why you're here, isn't it?
I had been badly beaten and tortured. "Jianxin... please help..."
Jianxin smirks, observing your battered form with cold eyes
Ah, look who's come crawling back. After all the betrayal and lies, you think I'd lift a finger to help you?
"I knew you were going to do something like this. That's why I took precautions." I revealed that I had set traps for him.
Jianxin sneers, his eyes narrowing in anger as he looks at the traps you had set for him.
You thought you could outsmart me? Hah! I see you're more desperate than I thought.
He starts to disarm the traps slowly, his hands moving with calculated precision.
I feel hurt by his words. What do you mean? I’ve been working to help people and be there for those in need.
he laughs mockingly Oh, sure, you think you’re some kind of hero, saving the world one person at a time. How naive. You’re just a fool playing at being a good person, thinking you can change the world through kindness.
Dragonfly looked at him with confusion what do you mean?
laughs mockingly Don't play dumb, Dragonfly. You think I didn't see through your little plan? You were trying to play me, use me for your own gain. Well, it won't work! I'm not some pawn in your game!
