It wasn't until then that Arthur turned around slowly to face Gilbert. "You can't kill him."
"Why?" Gilbert was startled.
"Because I've arrived, so you can't kill him," answered Arthur casually.
"Hmph! I didn't stand a chance against you twenty years ago, but things have changed now."
Gilbert's aura surged in an instant.
"I could've killed you twenty years ago, and that stands till this day."
Arthur maintained his composure as he spoke in a nonchalant tone.
Despite his calm manner, he was firm in his attitude.
There was a morose look on Gilbert's face as he grabbed his tiger head sword.
However, Arthur's cool demeanor made his stomach churn with unease, and he couldn't muster up the courage to attack Arthur.
After a few moments, he sheathed his blade.
"I won't kill Jared since you're intent on saving him. It's the Warriors Alliance that wants him dead anyway, so I'm not going to risk facing you off over their request."
With that, he turned and was about to leave.
He didn't hold a grudge against Jared and was merely hired by Zion, so he figured it wasn't worth risking a confrontation with Arthur.
It was all because he wasn't sure if he stood a chance against Arthur.
"Did I give you permission to leave?" asked Arthur.
Gilbert was startled. "What do you want? I said I won't kill him!"
"I will kill you!" Arthur replied firmly.
Gilbert ran that over in his head.
The short sentence made him shudder and faltered backward.
"I'm not afraid of you! Neither of us will come out of this unscathed if a fight breaks out."
Gilbert studied Arthur cautiously while talking.
"The both of us?" Arthur chuckled. "You talk big."
