Lightning Is the Only Way

Liran's world broke down.

His Sect was destroyed, and now his son was dead too?

Why?

Why had all of this happened?

Why was the world against him?

What had he done to deserve this?

"Ahahaha!"

Arthur laughed loudly as he saw Liran's shocked expression.

Pack!

Arthur threw the head over, and Liran caught it out of reflex. In shock, Liran looked down at the head, and the last expression of Surem was still very visible on his face.

Rage, hatred, anger, tragedy, sadness.

There were still wet spots on Surem's face from the tears he had cried. His expression showed pure pain, denial, and anger. It was the expression of someone so angry with the world that they had given up, trying to find solace in death.

Gravis took a deep breath as he saw the head. He wanted to say that this had nothing to do with him, but his emotions disagreed.

Gravis wanted to say that he didn't care, but deep down, he did care. In his mind, Surem's death was a tragedy. Surem was far better than his father, and he had had a great mindset.

However, sometimes, when one lost control over their emotions, all the good things of a person couldn't make up for the emotional mistakes one committed.

Gravis didn't really see Surem as a friend, but he also wasn't a stranger.

Gravis had wanted to stop him, but he also didn't want to force his protection on him.

If they had been closer, Gravis might have forced Surem to stay, but they hadn't been that close.
