"I will not fall for your schemes, so if you want me dead, go ahead and kill me, and let's see whether you and those close to you can survive the aftermath," Avotha said, unsure if Kent was indeed lying to him or not.
"Okay, I have decided," Kent said, "I will be killing you."
Avotha's body shuddered when he heard these words. However, before he could say anything, Gaap stepped in.
[Let's not go that far just yet.] Gaap knew Kent was serious about wanting to kill Avotha. However, doing so would indeed be detrimental to Kent.
He may be strong, but even he, alone or with the connections he has now, cannot gather enough to go against the Siliconik Abyss Dragon Family.
He will lose, and Gaap, who knew how dangerous they are, wanted to prevent that.
Gaap looked at Avotha, who he knew didn't want to die... or at least wasn't ready to die. If he were ready, he would have already done more than enough to anger Kent so he could kill him easily.
