Logan had a defeated look on his face. He was discomfited and frustrated, not because Asta was about to kill them but because his friend Ethan had been possessed by a Demon for the past six months, and he didn't even know.
Logan clenched his fist and spoke to himself, "H.. H Could I Let That Happen!" Logan spoke to himself while looking at Ethan's chopped-off head.
Asta spoke in his solemn voice. " You should be thanking me. I saved your lives. If I hadn't come here, both of you would have ended like your friend." Asta continued, but this time. He had an evil grin. "Now, I Will Be The One Who Is Going To Ruin It." Asta turned around as he finished. He walked towards the Demon's Boss seat and took a seat on it. His bright red eyes were locked on both helpless Logan and Scott.
Scott cried out loud after hearing Asta's words. His voice was trembling with fear. He still had no idea why Asta came to hunt them down. "WHY ARE AFTER US WE DID NOTHING TO YOU!"
"WHY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU ARE!"
"JUST LEAVE US, PLEASE!!!" Tears formed in Scott's eyes as he finished. His entire body was shivering with fear and the addiction to drugs that he made.
Asta's facial expression shifted from calm and composed to rage, pure rage. He gritted his teeth as he responded to Scott. "THAT WAS YOUR FIRST MISTAKE!!"
"YOU MESSED WITH MY SON! WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT HIS FATHER IS CAPABLE OF!" Asta's voice had completely changed. It was so heavy and spooky that it sounded like a voice of a supernatural being.
Asta calmed himself and his urges to end both Logan and Scott. He took a few heavy breaths before continuing. "You Three Wanted Money To Get Some Drugs. Good. You Choose To Steal From Anyone You See. I Am Okay With That. But You Choose My Son As Your Target Was Wrong."
"Breaking A Plank On My Son's Face Was Wrong."
"Tying Him Up To A Dumpster Was Wrong!" Asta's voice began to get heavier and heavier after every sentence he finished. It was like restraints being broken with every sentence and the Devil inside him releasing himself.
"Stealing His Watch Was Wrong!!"
"Stabbing Him Was Wrong!!!"
"Leaving Him To Die Was Also Wrong!!!!"
Logan and Scott's minds raced through after hearing Asta's words. They realized he was talking about the Kid that they robbed earlier.
Scott responded swiftly, "I'll Apologize To Him! Please Leave Me!"
"I Didn't Mean To Hurt Your Son!"
"Take Me To Him! Please Don't Kill Me!!" Scott pleaded for his life.
"No!" Asta stated.
Scott gulped in fear as he heard Asta's voice, but suddenly, he remembered that neither he nor Logan was the one who had stabbed Ratsujin.
"WAIT!!"
"WAIT!!!"
"We Didn't Hurt Your Son!" Scott pointed towards Ethan's chopped-off head and continued, "HE Was The One Who Stabbed Your Son! We Didn't Do Anything!"
"It Was The Demon Inside His Body That Made Him Hurt Your Son!" Scott was panicking with every word he spoke. He was trying his best to get Asta to forgive him.
Asta responded to Scott in his playful voice, "Is That So." Asta continued, "So It Was A Demon Who Stabbed My Son, but what about the person who broke that wooden plank on his face."
Asta's focus was solely on Scott. He asked him in his cold voice, "You Were The One, Right?"
As soon as Scott heard Asta's voice, he crawled on his feet and swiftly made his way to Asta. He bowed his head before Asta and said, "I didn't know! I Was Stupid! Please Forgive Me!"
"Pl....." Suddenly, Scott's eyes turned pure white. His skin turned pale color, and he fell onto the ground like a bag of flour. Scott was still breathing, but his body was not moving at all. Asta still remained seated. He had not touched Scott at all.
Logan came to his senses as he saw his other friend falling down before Asta. He swiftly crawled towards Scott away from Asta's sight as Scott came within his reach.
"You... You.... You.... YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!" Logan roared at Asta.
Asta didn't mind Logan's anger. He murmured while playing with the dagger, "That Demon Was The One Who Stabbed My Son, And This One Was The One Who Tied Him Up And Knocked My Son Out!"
Asta gazed at Logan and asked with a smile, "So, What Did You Do?"
