Chapter 82: Fear of Asura: Part 5
"Shut the fuck up! I don’t care!" Johan’s eyes suddenly started to gain light, just as the system’s blue interface disappeared, startling James to fall on his back, stumbling on his hands.
"What... you should give u—" James’ voice was filled with disbelief at the sudden colour coming on Johan’s face, desperately trying to continue the same monologue again.
"I said shut the fuck up!! Give up? For what!?" Johan’s voice reverberated in the area, it wasn’t loud because Johan was angry, or trying to defend himself, but because his mind was finally clear.
"Because it’s painful to live, it will only get harder... You can’t even keep Kirin and Sebastian emotionally well! What will happen if you meet Acier, and the rest of your family? You also have the responsibility to save Selene from Leor if you live! It all will only hurt you more. Just give up, it’s easy."
James’ voice suddenly grew soft, as if he was talking to a friend, getting up from the ground and walking closer to Johan, trying to gain back his momentum.
"I DON’T EVER GIVE UP." Johan replied immediately, not even thinking over James’ words.
"I know it’s painful. I know it will only get harder, and worse. I know it will break me further. I don’t even know if I will survive today, or even successfully save my family, or I’m just going there to find them all dead!
I know nothing, but... I at least have to try... Give it my all."
James, ignoring Johan’s sharp words, suddenly leaped right in front of Johan, tightly grabbing Johan’s collar with a single movement of his hand.
"Shut up! You shut up and listen to me! I explained everything to you, literally everything for so long already!! You will lose no matter what you do! No matter how hard you try!! Then why even try?
Did you even take a look at who your enemies are? Leor, Lucifer, and Radhaan can kill you with a single finger, no, with just a look!"
