Aksai followed Haitin's lead as they approached Bai Yu, another of Aksai's captured teammates.
Bai Yu was bound, unable to move or speak, his eyes full of desperation as he looked at Aksai. Haitin, ever the instigator, grinned as he addressed Aksai, his voice casual yet dripping with underlying amusement.
"Kill him too," Haitin said, gesturing towards Bai with a lazy flick of his hand. "I only captured him because he was with that girl at the time. And I didn't want to kill her and complicate things." Haitin's eyes slid to Siya Solaris, who stood nearby.
Aksai didn't immediately respond. He glanced at Bai Yu, who was staring back at him, eyes wide with fear. But Aksai's expression remained neutral, unreadable, which quickly made Bai realize that pleading wouldn't get him anywhere.
The desperation in Bai's eyes shifted to something more feral—a sudden flash of defiance as if warning Aksai not to take this lightly.
