Stephan's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Julian, his face pale with incredulity.
"You can't be serious, Julian," he said, his voice shaking with anger. "Are you bluffing?"
Julian's expression was dead serious, his weakness was the one keeping him down.
"Bluffing?" He repeated with a dangerous chuckle.
"From now on, there will be nothing like friendship between us." he let out.
Astrid's eyes darted back and forth between the two men, her face reflecting her shock and confusion.
"Julian, what are you doing?" she asked, her voice trembling. Stephan's face turned red with rage as he took a step closer to Julian.
"Why would you say something like that, Julian?" he demanded. "Did you hear some crazy news from someone? What's going on?"
Julian's expression didn't change, but his voice took on a hint of sadness.
