Zoravec knew he had to ensure that his words would trap Jason the way he attempted to do with them. It was obvious that he had given a truthful analysis on them and their teamwork. However, Zoravec had also found dirt on him the same way Jason targeted them. It was not hard especially when Jason had put forward his sister to cater all the lewd nonsense Blake spouted.
"What are you implying?"
Jason questioned him back in a quizzical tone, he had no clue what shit Zoravec was saying. But he could not let it go since it had already started to itch him why would his subject pick on him. Most probably what irked him was the 'how?' After all, it was the first time Jason had been interrogated and Jessica ridiculed.
Zoravec walked ahead a bit and approached Blake, he slipped his arm over his shoulder. Blake was confused by his actions as he did not expect him to throw back questions at Jason. On the other hand, Zoravec was confident in what he was about to say since he had analysed Jason carefully.
"I am impressed that you still think you can create a rift between us all with all your talks. Do you really take Blake for a fool and Clara for easy prey? Come on, you should have come up with something good."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZoravec deliberately played sly and worded his sentences to ensure Blake that he had faith in him.
It was a crucial state and having Blake and Clara on his side was the utmost need. That was why Zoravec knew he had to put forward the words to play the blame game. He was sure that throwing all the blame over Jason by making him appear the bad guy. Zoravec took his speech further by provoking Jason for his poor skills.
"Blake is a genius who would never get manipulated. We might not be strong enough to beat you guys in any physical combat. But we are tight knit now and put faith in each other, all this nonsense of yours would not affect us."
Zoravec was certain his words would definitely leave an impression over Blake's mind.
Since he had significantly made it clear that he was not affected by the bullshit Jason said. And as expected Blake was convinced that there was nothing suspicious in the help which Zoravec subconsciously offered. A smile appeared on his face upon seeing that his all guesses were plain gibberish infested in his mind by Jason's words.
"You should think about yourself, I am sure the way you shoved your sister in front; she would not have liked it. How pussy of you to make your sister fight on your behalf!? I expected more from you."
Zoravec bluntly said those words and it worked efficiently to create a tense knot between the siblings.
Jason grew angry over the words and snapped at him while reciprocating the same emotions. He knew that the relationship with Jessica was not going to deteriorate that soon with at least that kind of manipulation. However, he could not trust Zoravec's skills and immediately glanced towards his sister.
Jessica averted her head and looked back at her brother who seemed to be panicking at that moment. Although it was an inward expression she could see through his face. Zoravec keenly glanced at both of the siblings and saw Jessica's fingers curling into a fist. He immediately knew that his words definitely caused some fissure between them.
He just had to spot the cause of it and use that element for his benefit. Blake stood a bit closer to Zoravec and whispered to snag his attention. He did not know how to apologise for doubting Zoravec' intentions, although unbeknownst to him whatever Jason accused was true.
"Hey, um…I am sorry for doubting you. His words just had me for a moment because whatever he said about that…um…stranger part and hidden benefit made me suspect you really had some malicious intentions."
Blake knew his words might not bring Zoravec to trust him back again like he did up to a while ago. But he still had to take the leap in order to fix the relationship between the two of them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZoravec knew he had to put faith in him once again if he wished for Blake to return the same emotion. However, in the midst of their bickering Clara felt guilty for being a weakling and being a burden for both of them. All that was the result of the assumption she derived from the one single incident where her body froze from fighting while confronting Jesssica in the defending session.
"It is okay, I would not blame you for something like that. It is obvious we still have to go through a long way to finally get to know each other. Don't pay heed to his words, he was just trying to provoke us to split and fight with one another."
Zoravec explained to him the vision he had about the three of them being a tight knit team in the future.
However, in the middle of all that whispering conversation Clara interrupted them with her shallow tone. Zoravec and Blake immediately averted their heads in shock to look at her. Something was definitely wrong with that girl and her excessive assumption might turn out to be her doom one day.
"I am sorry guys, I really am sorry for being useless baggage for you two. I don't want to drag you down with my incapabilities."
Clara's head was lowered as her gaze was glued to the ground while she spouted those horrible words. Zoravec rolled his eyes in utter disappointment, he did not expect her to be an easy target and prone to manipulation.
Reflexively Zoravec looked at Jason who was grinning with confidence. It annoyed Zoravec that Clara's vulnerability let Jason assume that he had succeeded in his mission. How could he let that happen? It was now a matter of his ego and the words he had just boasted. Zoravec did not care for anything, he leaped towards Clara and grabbed the girl by her forearm.
Just a few seconds later the sound of a hard slap was heard across the hall!
