Chapter 972: We all do.
"There’s a reason my wife specifically ordered we rescue them and avoid engaging in a fight. It’s because we’re not ready yet."
Primo opened and closed his mind, moving his slightly dilated eyes around the faces in the room. It wasn’t like he didn’t understand their argument. It was true their only goal for this mission was to rescue Leo, Hera, and Ivy.
But...
"We rescued Ivy and Leo, but what about Hera?" Primo asked when he recovered his voice. "Hera is still out there, and from what I’ve seen, she’s probably in a terrible state. Not to mention, Joker is in their custody. Although I want to strangle that guy because he’s the reason I’m handicapped, how can you think of resting when one of your comrades is in danger?"
"That’s rich coming from someone who used his people as shields," Wolf remarked sarcastically, earning a sneer from Primo.
"You want to go down that path now, Wolf?" Primo raised his brows. "Do you want to be put in a drum again?"
"No." Wolf smiled. "Do you?"
"Wolf," Bear called in a warning tone and then shifted his eyes to Primo. "Alexander Cafre, that is enough. I understand you’re probably worried about them —"
"I’m not. Trust me," Primo clarified. "At first, I thought I could use Hera as a stepping stone to get more control in the underground. But after everything, my interest in her vanished altogether. It’s the same for Joker. He can die for all I care. Though I grew fond of my prosthetics, it is still a great reminder of how that guy blew up my entire arm. The experience is a painful memory to remember."
