Chapter 2101: What you need

When the masks were pulled off, the faces that Quinn could see had hit him in his memory bank. They were faces that he felt like he would never forget, no matter how much time had passed.

Both of these people had been a big part of his life. Peter, the first person he had turned, one of his most loyal friends who was even by his side for a 1000 years while he was in Eternal slumber. Then there was Chris, one who taught him how to utilise Qi properly and in some ways saved his life. In the end, they had worked together to help him and his friends in their fight.

Even though Quinn had his neck held at this moment, quite firmly, that still didn't stop him from displaying his underlying anger. He gritted his teeth and his fangs were rubbing against the bottom of his gums causing small cuts in his mouth.

'Jim! Not only did you lie to everyone that I know, making everyone forget about me, claiming all of this for your own, but what you have done... No, what you are doing right now, you're using my friends. Those that are dear to me, and helped me in the past to accomplish your deeds!'

Jim was looking dead ahead at Quinn, there was an underlying smile on his face, his muscles were twitching, but it was as if he was holding back. He knew exactly what he was doing, by revealing these two in front of him.

Yet, he was unable to smile in the open, because right now he was playing a character, and in this story Quinn was the big villain that needed to be stopped.

"You demon!" Jim shouted out. "I thought this day would come. Richard Eno, had warned me about this."

Speaking loudly, Jim did so, so that the others could hear, including the other originals.

"The demon, who cursed us originals in the first place and turned us into what we are today. I guess you're afraid, afraid that we would surpass you in strength, so you have come to stop us."

There was a lot Quinn wanted to say, he wanted to desperately dispute this fact and argue back, but it was useless. Unlikely anyone would believe him, and even if they did, how would it turn the situation around.

On top of that, due to the way Ray was holding onto Quinn's throat, he could hardly say a word.

Jim started to walk forward, and as he did, Chris and Peter walked by his side as if they were his guards.

"Now, there are a lot of things that I will need to do with you, and that I need to say." Jim said.

Turning his head around suddenly, Ray looked back at them all.

"What are you doing?" Ray asked, his eyes staring directly at all three of them, and like a heatwave, energy had hit all three of them.

For a second, Jim was incredibly nervous as he gulped.

"What's wrong... Did I do something?" Jim asked.

"This person, is now my business." Ray said. "So you should stay out of it. If you want to do something with him then you need to do it after. I have some questions of my own for him."

Jim's head was now racing, questions, why did the being known as Ray suddenly have questions to ask Quinn? Was there a connection between the two? How? Did the two know each other, was Ray going to switch sides?

He needed to stop the two from talking, but that would mean going up against him.

At the same time Quinn found this as an opportunity, it was clear from the fight before that Ray no longer saw him as a friend, the questions were revealing something else, but there was a gap that would allow him to act.
