"Welp, it's now pretty obvious that you've betrayed the Nether Cult, Beruel. I have every right to eliminate you. As for Kuzon's girlfriend, I personally have nothing against you, but I'll just treat you as collateral damage."
"I-I'm not his—!"
"Yeah, yeah. You look just like his type. Hahaha." Kido waved off Ana's response with such levity that one wouldn't think he was trying to kill all three of them off.
It truly was paradoxical how he interacted with them.
Even Ana was surprised by her instinctive reply to him. It almost made it seem as though Kido was a likable father figure and not a mass murderer.
"Beruel, Ana, stay out of this. It's my fight, and I'll be beating Kido with my own ability." Kuzon stared at his two partners.
His focused eyes were enough to show them how much he meant it.
"W-what? No way! There's no way you can win! You can't—!"
"I don't remember asking for your input." Kuzon silenced Ana as he stared at his opponent.
