1502 Stop Lying
Chu Nan quietly looked at Cleveland and did not answer.
Cleveland thought that Chu Nan was hesitating. After patiently waiting for a while, he discovered that Chu Nan still did not have the intention to answer. He could not help but hurriedly continue to ask, “Hurry up and tell me, did you learn the Exterminating Heart Technique from Princess Pamela? This is very important. If you really don’t, His Highness can prove in many ways that you didn’t learn it. However, if you really learn it, you need to pay more attention and not be discovered by the Elder Council. You can’t expose yourself. If that’s the case, His Highness will definitely think of a way to see you personally and remind you in person. However, this will take a huge risk, so His Highness has to know a clear answer to this question. Do you understand?”
Chu Nan smiled and still looked at Cleveland quietly.
Cleveland immediately panicked.
“Hurry up and answer me. We don’t have much time. This signal block can only be used once. If we use it again, we’ll definitely be suspected. I might not be able to see you next time.”
Chu Nan still did not speak.
Cleveland’s face flushed red. At this moment, he could not be bothered to hide his expression and directly leaned in front of Chu Nan. He looked into his eyes and roared, “If you can’t give His Highness a clear answer, he can’t help you. Apart from His Highness, it’s impossible for you to expect anyone else to help you. Do you understand?”
Chu Nan suddenly raised his right hand and opened his palm.
Cleveland looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
“Five…”
Chu Nan finally spoke. After spitting out a number, he retracted a finger.
“Four…”
Cleveland frowned.
Clearly, Chu Nan’s reaction was very wrong.
Could it be that this guy’s mind had finally collapsed and some abnormal behavior similar to neurosis had begun to appear?
“Three…”
With every count, Chu Nan retracted a finger. After he counted for a while, he retracted the last finger and clenched his right fist.
“Alright, Cleveland, it’s time.”
Cleveland looked at the smiling Chu Nan in surprise. There was no need to use the psychological analysis he was good at. With his intuition, he discovered that Chu Nan’s current reaction was very wrong. Something must have happened.
“Chu Nan, what are you doing?” Cleveland frowned.
Chu Nan pointed at his hand below.
“Put away your little thing that can emit blue light. I can’t sense any energy fluctuations from it. If you want to rely on it to block the monitoring signal here, don’t you think the cost you invested is too low?”
Cleveland’s heart shook.
Chu Nan was right.
The thing in his hand was indeed only a small thing that could only emit blue light and was not a high-tech signal-blocking device. However, how could Chu Nan tell?
Although he thought so, Cleveland still maintained a stunned expression. He quickly frowned and smiled. He laughed and waved at Chu Nan.
“Heh, Chu Nan, I’m just joking with you.” He flipped open his left hand and revealed something that was emitting a weak blue light like a crystal tube. Then, he winked at Chu Nan and glanced at him before secretly pointing at a corner.
From his actions, it was obvious that he was still helping to hide it.
However, Chu Nan was unmoved and smiled and shook his head.
“Alright, Cleveland, there’s no need to act anymore. Since you asked the question just now, it proves that you no longer have the patience to continue acting with me. There’s no need to continue.”
Cleveland frowned and stared at Chu Nan for a while before his expression sank.
He closed his palm and exerted strength. The small thing emitting blue light was directly crushed into pieces by his hand.
“When did you start to suspect me?” Cleveland asked with a frown. “I don’t think I’ve revealed any flaws these few days.”
“It’s very simple, because I didn’t believe you from the beginning.” Chu Nan shrugged, “As for why I don’t believe you… in the general direction, according to the Prince Lekas I know, if he can help me, he won’t need you to contact me from the middle. He will definitely come to find me himself. Before he’s not confident in saving me, he definitely won’t do something like bringing me out of the prison but not letting me out.”
“Do you know Prince Lekas very well?” Cleveland sneered, “I know very well that you’ve only interacted with the prince a few times. What right do you have to determine his actions?”
“Because this is my judgment. I don’t need you to understand.” Chu Nan gave a very straightforward answer, “Moreover, you’re not as good at some details as you think. Many places reveal that you’re lying.”
“Impossible.” Cleveland immediately shook his head. “I did all the details perfectly. It’s impossible for there to be any mistakes in all my actions and words, even the details of my expression. It’s impossible for you to see it!”
Chu Nan glanced at Cleveland from head to toe and suddenly smiled.
“Heh, you should be a local of the Declan Empire, right?”
Cleveland frowned and did not understand why Chu Nan suddenly asked this question.
“I am. Why?”
“As a member of the Declan Empire, why is your understanding of martial artists so poor?” Chu Nan shook his head as if he really did not understand this question, “Even if your strength is indeed not strong, don’t you actually know that a martial artist has the ability to sense all the subtle changes in the other party’s body through various contact?”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that… in front of me now, I can easily sense every subtle change in your body. In other words, I know everything about the change in your heartbeat, pulse, blood flow, skin pores, and so on when you speak. I can clearly discover that when you talk to me, these aspects often undergo some subtle changes. As long as it involves a specific matter, these changes will appear. Such a change only proves one thing. You’re nervous. As for why you’re nervous? It’s clearly because you’re lying.”
At this point, Chu Nan sighed as if he felt it was a pity.
“I have to say that you’re very strong in self-control and can definitely deceive almost all ordinary people. Moreover, if you’re a powerful martial artist yourself, your control of your body will be stronger and more precise, and these flaws won’t appear. However, it’s obvious that you’re not. Your strength… is too poor.”
Cleveland’s expression changed and it took him a long time to suppress his shock.
He originally thought that Chu Nan was only a kid who was still wet behind the ears and did not need him to be very serious to easily deal with him and make him completely trust him to obtain all the answers he wanted. He did not expect that Chu Nan would see through him from the beginning.
What surprised him, even more, was that Chu Nan could actually tell that he was lying through such a subtle method.
In other words… his performance in front of him in the past few days was simply like performing a monkey show!
When he thought of this, Cleveland’s mood was extremely bad. His expression could not help but sink as he stared at Chu Nan and snorted.
“Very good. Since you’re very confident that you can determine if I’m lying, you should know if the message I gave you is also a lie.”
Cleveland opened his personal terminal with a dark expression and pulled out the virtual screen to face Chu Nan.
Chu Nan glanced over and his expression changed greatly.
In the scene on the virtual screen, Angie Prairie looked dejected.
