Chương 153: Intentions

"You must be Lucas Ashford, am I right?" Rafael observed Lucas from head to toe. Lucas looked away from Scott and glanced at him.

"You've heard of me?" Rafael smiled and gestured toward the sheriff.

"How can I not? You were the suspect in a murder." Lucas' eyebrows raised high and he glanced at him and the sheriff. Since this guy brought this up, it meant that Rafael was investigating him.

"Just say what you want to say, I don't have the patience to play word games." Lucas didn't particularly like the guy either.

"You wouldn't happen to know who did this, right?" Rafael's tone became serious and the atmosphere changed. Lucas' expression slowly turned indifferent and even though Rafael was taller, he had a feeling that he was looking up at Lucas.

"Mr. Agent…I advise you to leave Beacon Hills." Lucas didn't offer any threats, only a kind reminder. Rafael frowned and noticed his son's panicked look, he became even more certain that there was something strange about Lucas.

"Is that a threat?" Stiles was watching the show like the only thing missing was popcorn. Scott, on the other hand, was sweating bullets for his father, even though they didn't get along, it doesn't mean he wanted to see him hurt. Lucas frowned as this was one of the times he genuinely gave advice. Rafael and the FBI agents were only going to get killed, the plot had deviated from the original story. So he didn't know what would happen. The Nogitsune was obviously going to create chaos and grow stronger.

"It's just advice." After saying this, he looked away, ignoring him, Lucas then walked out without even saying goodbye to Stiles and Scott. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. The moment he walked outside, he spotted Harris looking over in his direction. Harris adjusted his glasses and looked intently at him. Lucas was speechless, this guy really thought he was Aizen. Just as he was cursing him in his mind, Lucas suddenly felt an urge to kill him.

He quickly controlled his emotions and looked gravely at Harris. He didn't know why, but for the first time, he felt like he couldn't trust his predatory ability.

'Was my mind invaded?' Lucas thought inwardly for a second, but then he shook his head as his ability would have responded and shielded him from mind manipulation. Lucas then gazed back at Harris, who was now smiling at him. This guy was definitely acting weird, but he felt like something wasn't adding up.

"Is something wrong?" Allison looked at Harris, then at him. Lucas broke from his daze and glanced at her.

"Something is going on with Harris." Allison gave him a surprised look, then observed Harris but didn't notice anything.

"Is he the dark spirit?" He glanced back out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Harris.

"There's a probability." Lucas then grabbed her hand and walked away. After he left, Harris' smile vanished and his shoulders relaxed. ••••"Move your asses! Move!" The coach whistled as he waved for the students to run harder, they were doing the exercises in the woods. Lucas rolled his eyes as he passed by the coach, he now knew why Malia almost kicked his ass.

"Ashford! Don't think that I didn't catch that!" The coach shouted at him and he looked like his eyes were about to pop out. Behind Lucas, Malia turned around and growled at him, making the coach gulp and look around to see if somebody saw that.

"Greenberg, this is all your fault! Move your ass!" Coach turned his anger toward his favorite student. The students laughed as they continued running. Just as Lucas was running, he suddenly thought of what happened to the coach. This wasn't the first time they ran, but it was the first since the Nogitsune was let loose. Thinking of how the Nogitsune acted differently with the Shrapnel Bomber, would he still put traps in the forest? He wasn't sure, but he couldn't let the students and the coach get hurt.

Lucas then began looking for traps around the woods, Allison and Lydia noticed that and approached him.

"I'm looking to see if there are traps." Lucas answered before they could ask, explaining that it could be the Nogitsune doing it. After hearing this, both looked around vigilantly, Allison wasn't so worried about herself. But Lydia was just a human, so her eyes were constantly looking around. After they ran another twenty minutes, Lucas was beginning to doubt whether the Nogitsune had acted, but he still didn't let his guard down.

Just as the group passed by some trees, a mechanism was heard clearly in his ear, and with it, the sound of something cutting through the air.

"Swoosh!"
