Right now, Shang wasn't sure what he should think or feel.
He wanted to say that he was hurt and that he was shocked that Jerald would think that Shang would kill him.
Yet, Jerald's concerns were actually correct.
Why hadn't Shang told him?
Because Shang was afraid.
Not afraid of what Jerald would think of him, but afraid of Jerald killing him.
Shang wanted to tell Jerald, but he wanted to become powerful enough to resist Jerald first.
"I never wanted you to find out," Shang said slowly.
"Well, now I know," Jerald answered with furrowed brows.
After a while, Shang looked to the side. "You are the only friend I have left in this world, and I didn't want everything to break down between us."
