Azariah's heart pounded fiercely in his chest as the man's words struck deep.
His breath became ragged, and he glared at the man, whose expression was filled with pity.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Azariah let out a forced chuckle.

"Did you not hear this fucker?!" Azariah roared, slamming his fist down on the table with such force that it shattered into pieces.
The man gulped as Azariah lunged at him, but Oliver barely managed to hold him back.
