"Does this question really require so much thought?" Sorovo continued.
His tone was leisurely, pressing on everyone's nerves bit by bit.
"Choose not to speak, stay loyal, and be killed by me. Speak, choose to live, and be killed by Red Eye."
"Of course, both choices come with their premises. Stay loyal, and perhaps Red Eye will avenge you, but you might still die by my hand. Choose to live, and there's a chance I'll kill Red Eye."
"There, I've laid out the pros and cons for you, now the decision is in your hands."
Sorovo reached for a glass, then for a bottle of strong liquor, pouring himself a drink without further ado.
Noticing Carlotte's gaze from behind the counter, Sorovo raised his eyebrows, "Do you want some?"
It seems like my drink, though!
Carlotte wanted to roar but considering Sorovo's notorious reputation and the many lives he had claimed, he suppressed the urge.
