The once lively crowd, filled with murmurs and anticipation, fell silent as they observed the interaction between Xavier and Mirito. Tension hung heavy in the air, as spectators braced themselves for the possibility of another violent altercation.
"I understand what you're after," Xavier stated, his voice calm and composed, his eyes narrowing slightly with suspicion as he crossed his arms.
Mirito, growing increasingly impatient, awaited Xavier's next move, eager to provoke him into a physical confrontation. He was confident in his ability to overpower Xavier if it came to that.
"I won't give you what you want. You may be looking for a fight, but I won't stoop to that level," Xavier asserted firmly, taking a step back to de-escalate the situation. With that, he turned away, choosing not to engage in violence and diffusing the tension in the air.
