章 56: Master Duel (2)

The elderly man, casting a cautious glance towards Vargus, suggested with a measured tone, "Why don't we take a moment to pause here?" His eyes, reflecting a blend of wisdom and wariness, locked with Vargus's as he added, "Let's have a conversation first." 

Attempting to diffuse the tension, the elderly man reached for words of conciliation. However, Vargus cut through the attempt with swift rejection, his tone sharp and unyielding. "What is there to discuss, huh?" he challenged, his words slicing the air with finality.

Vargus's eyes blazed with determination as he continued, "The moment he crossed me was the moment he sealed his fate." His voice, firm and resolute, left no room for negotiation. "There's nothing left to discuss," he declared, closing the door on any possibility of dialogue, his stance unmovable and his resolve clear.
