Chase had been right. The bean was messing with his mind, but to what extent? Was all of this, even his parents' death, the work of that disgusting fruit? No, Chase had done it. But wait. What about Wuya? She was in league with either Chase or Hannibal, but which? Chase had warned him about the bean, but what if that was what Chase wanted? After all, his own mother had come to him in a dream… but how much faith can you put in a mere dream? Not much, but up until now, he'd thought that Chase was his only problem. Now that wretched bean was toying with him openly. So who was it? Who was with him and who was against him? The dragons were on his side, this he knew, but what good was that when two other evils were messing with his mind? His mind! It was psychological war. How much had the bean already disturbed him? What role did Chase really play in all this? Jack didn't know and, personally, he didn't want to. He needed his shadow to tell him more.
