Chapter 1306
"The sheep all died, and the boy never lied again," Debra said. "Are you comparing yourself to the boy?"
Andrew sensed her lingering frustration but remained calm. "This story is meant to teach children not to lie, but |
want to show you how to deceive the enemy."
Debra's brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"
"When a person lies too often, it becomes impossible for others to discern the truth," Andrew explained. "Take

task will be to convince them m merely acting. That's called @mind game."
Debra was shocked that he had planned so far ahead. This trick of faking illness was not meant to fool her, but
those behind the scene.
It was indeed a mind game. By this logic, no one would be able to discern the truth when he was ill for the fourth
