His depressed expression and his silhouette against the firelight made him resemble a devil in hell.
Flames danced wildly behind him, his gloomy face refusing to disclose his true thoughts.
Yet, amidst this, Halse sensed danger.
Anyone could hear the hypocrisy of Halse's speech, and understand the meaning conveyed by the gang leader.
Their language was brimming with disdain and anger, marked with a scornful dismissal of the man before them.
The momentarily eased situation rapidly became intolerable again.
Fraught with awkwardness and unease, it stoked a nefarious kind of fear.
What he heard was vastly different from what Halse was saying.
He was not acting out of goodwill but because he felt insulted and threatened.
What Halse spoke of wasn't wrong at all.
To the majority of people, what Halse said would not be considered problematic.
