"What now? I'm busy thinking about how to get back at that bastard!" Argon responded with an annoyed voice, not paying much attention to Jacob at that moment.
Seeing his friend like this, Jacob didn't know how to inform him of what happened. He knew that once he told him, Argon's temper would flare up, and he feared what might happen next.
However... it's not like he could just keep it to himself and hope things would resolve themselves; that was impossible considering the nature of the information he had received.
A while later, not receiving a response from Jacob, Argon glanced at him, and when he saw his expression, he couldn't help but frown while asking, "Hey, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly fall silent? Tell me... What happened?"
Jacob hesitated for a few seconds and took a deep breath before speaking in a solemn tone, "Argon, it's about orphanage caretaker Oswald..."
Upon hearing that, Argon's expression changed into a bright smile. "What happened? Tell me! Was he released from prison? I knew he was innocent. How can someone like him be involved in criminal activities like harming orphans and murder?
He always took good care of us kids when we were little, so there was no way he would do something like that! He's too good of a person for it! I always believed in him, but all those bastards kept saying that he was evil... This must be the right judgment from heaven itself. Hahaha..."
Argon continued to ramble in excitement as he thought of his old orphanage caretaker, Oswald, being set free, while Jacob just kept quiet the whole time without saying anything else. He couldn't find it in himself to interrupt his friend's delusional thoughts of a better outcome.
For Argon, this was like a bomb exploding in his heart, making him lose his rationality, as his eyes turned red while looking around like a beast on a rampage. He couldn't stop himself from trembling as his jaw clenched tight with the urge to bite into someone.
How could he not feel like this when the only father figure he ever had was dead due to the unjust deeds of the legal system? He lost his biological parents at a young age and didn't remember their faces well, and he had always felt lost, not knowing what to do or where to go.
It was only at that orphanage that he felt at peace after Oswald took him under his care as a guardian who looked after them with compassion. It was his first glimpse of a bright future with love and joy in it for once... but now?
Why did it have to end like this?!
Argon clenched his fists as anger continued to swell up inside his heart, taking over his thoughts, and at that moment, a subconscious voice whispered into his mind, "See? Isn't this the fault of that evil bastard? It's all because of him that you have to experience such pain! He is responsible for this tragedy! You can't let him get away with what he did!"
He gritted his teeth. Yes, this is the fault of that Asher and all those involved in this horrendous deed!
The very next moment, a beastial roar escaped his lips, and as if controlled by a strange force, his head turned towards the stage where Asher was, and he caught sight of him, making his face distorted in a hateful expression. With eyes bloodshot and veins bulging, he dashed at him like an enraged beast, wanting nothing more than to tear that man into shreds.
"AHHHHH... I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!" Argon shouted with all his might as his figure became surrounded by fiery flames of rage while a wild aura spread out all around him in an instant.
