Jacob found himself in a dark room. In front of him sat a man on a luxurious black chair, wearing a black coat. He had long black hair and a well-built body.
The man looked at him, then said,
"I thought you were smart… but you failed the first test. I don't think Alaric will be happy."
Jacob replied with a sharp, suspicious look,
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
"You could say I'm a friend of Alaric. I contacted him to reassure him, but he's on a mission now… and you'll stay with me until he returns."
"So," Jacob said, "speak so I can see you. What do you want to know? I'm just an ordinary person."
"I don't think so. I believe you're someone great… but you still don't know it."
Then Jacob said,
"I want to ask you two questions: what's your name… and who is stronger, you or Alaric?"
Before answering, the man touched his beard and smiled, then said,
"My name is Alexander. As for your second question… I cannot answer it. Not because I don't want to… but because I don't know."
Is Alexander a member in the organization?
