章節 694: Carnage

[ FLASHBACK: MAINLAND ]

"Haha! My friend, can you go easy on me?" Maximus laughed, grinning from ear to ear as he gazed at Abel standing meters from him. "I haven't shot an arrow, and they're already changing my target."

Abel chuckled, putting down the bow and arrow. "You are slow, Maximus."

"I am just not angry," replied Maximus whilst shaking his head. "I didn't know your parent's decision to enter an eternal slumber will anger you."

"It's not anger, Maximus. It's joy." Abel smirked. "I am in tears they would finally enter their eternal slumber."

Maximus kept his smile, studying Abel's side profile as the latter took a stance to shoot. Abel closed one eye, waiting for the people to replace the straw target. 

"You were sad." Abel paused, looking back at Maximus after the latter's remarks.

"And why would I feel such an emotion?"

"They were your parents."
