"Hmph!" Elmo's brows raised as he snorted disdainfully. "You're really shameless! Starting from the beginning of your explanation to the ending, all I could detect is your selfishness and inhuman characteristics. You fully know that although you were in love with Ariel, I wasn't aware of it so why would you still go ahead and punish me?" He asked, but didn't demand an answer in reply. He only paused for a moment before continuing. "It's because of your selfishness. You went ahead and decided to punish me, even though you clearly knew about my unawareness towards your conceal love for Ariel!" Elmo felt completely furious as he yelled.He wanted to try and calm himself down after hearing Richard stupid and inhumane explanation, but he still couldn't bear keeping his anger. All because of his jealousness and selfishness he had somehow destroyed him at some point.Richard palm felt unease as cold sweat filled it. His eyes darted as he tried explaining himself once more. "At that time, I w
His perplexed and confused eyes darted as he asked. "About that sin. What do you mean by it?" He wouldn't believe that he had ever committed a sin towards Elmo.His mindset was just that he had wronged Elmo and nothing else, so hearing him calling him a sinner made his mind unsettled with doubts and questions.Elmo didn't want to make things harder so he replied. "You meant to feel you haven't committed a sin, but it's completely inevitable." He paused before continuing. "All you thought must be that you have only made just a little mistake which exaggerated into a complete problem." He wanted to continue but then Richard interrupted."I never claimed that the problem that I've unknowingly caused you is an exaggeration because I myself know what that little mistake of mine then caused." He quickly muttered, as he felt an unexplainable feeling of guilt.Elmo's gaze remained on him without saying anything for a while. He had mentioned the word exaggeration earlier because he wanted to o
Richard remained dumbfounded, unable to move an inch. The voice echoed vigorously. He only turned and followed the sound of the voice after a whole one minute.It wasn't until he turned to the voice that he figured out that the thunderous voice owner was Stuart.His eyes remained fixed for some seconds before giving a loud hiss. His eyes rolled at the furious Stuart. If rolling of eyes could send a man to the afterworld, then perhaps Stuart would have gone there Immediately.Elmo and Peter only watched without saying anything. Peter's eyes held an intrigue reaction which shows his interest in what's about to follow, while Elmo on the other hand seems uninterested. His eyes were dim with a bored face. He slowly closed his eyes even after knowing that something was up.Stuart's face had a stern expression. With his brows furrowed. "You bastard! I freaking ask you to speak, without rolling your eyes or giving a loud hiss. What the f*ck do you think of yourself. Huh?" He yelled loudly, wi
After a short while of complete silence, Stuart snorted. "You're left speechless, right? Earlier you were speaking some dog words with immense pleasure at me, so what happened now. Can't you reply to me, when have I ever defamed you?" His question was laced with sarcasm as he stared at the dumbfounded Richard.Richard's astonished face squeezed as he coughed, before finally speaking. "From your previous words, it shows you are insinuating that I'm acting mightily at Elmo even though you knew I'm not… so isn't that an act of defamation from your side to me." After saying those twisted words, Richard finally gives a long heave.During the time, he was silent, he had been quietly thinking of a way to defend himself and that stupid thought was the only thing that came to his mind. Although Stuart saw the drastic twist in Richard's word, he didn't frit neither was he angry. He only simply laughed, as though he had heard a funny joke from Richard. "Haha haha haha."Hearing the laughter fr
After a while, the laugh died down and the ridiculous voice of Richard came next. "Of course, I'm absolutely serious with my words. Do you think I would be like you who seriously wanted to give a loan to Elmo back then and end up disappointing him. Humph." He scoffed with full disdain in his eyes." Cough Cough." Richard coughed awkwardly trying to clear the flush of red on his face. Who would have believed that his own word would get twisted back to him in a ridiculous manner; he just freaking got slapped on the face with his own damn words!"Ha, don't cough to death. Here, have some water. We won't like it if we have to take care of your health even after we have taken pity in helping you." Stuart did as though he wanted to offer a glass of water to Richard, but all that was just a facade to mock Richard.He didn't even wait to hear anything from Richard, before continuing. Before that, he cleared his throat. "When you asked for evidence, I had first told you that the evidence was r
Stuart laughed in a loud voice. "Ha ha hah, Peter why don't we hear Richard first. He might have some way to clear himself again." Stuart words held some meaning in it and it was understandable to the rest seated.Richard's teeth gritted with utmost resentment. He could clearly see that Stuart was once again mocking his words.Through his gritted teeth which held a deep resentment, Richard did his best to stay calm at all cost. After that, he opened his mouth to speak. "Of course yes, I do have something to say." He feigned as though Stuart words were nothing other than mere words, and not mockery. He didn't wait to hear anything from Stuart, before unhurriedly continuing. "Although I did exclaim I've something to say, but that's not about a way to clear my name.." he paused with a composed gaze.Peter only scoffed. It was as though he knew Richard only knows how to save face for himself through nonsense ways.The demeanor and arrogance he used in saying that last word, wasn't evitab
He remained silent for a long time as he was remembering the lie he had come up with to save his face from tarnishing more and it wasn't until he had fully recalled it all, did he snap out of his thoughts."Uh, you are actually wrong." His words were directed at Stuart. " My fist wasn't clenched together based on the fact that I was unable to vent my anger at you, instead it was clenched together only out of instinct and nothing else. So you calling me a coward is ridiculous." After finally telling all the lies that he had formed, he finally gave a long breath.Peter's loud voice rang with disdain. "I haven't seen someone who could be more shameless as you. Do you think everyone is as shameless and foolish as yourself that we won't be able to figure out what's the truth and what's not, huh?" He asked, with a clear sneer in his eyes. "You're not only foolish but you're in fact extremely foolish to say that us calling you a coward is ridiculous. And also you said something like the fist
Elmo didn't reply as Peter had expected, Instead he faced his head straight and spoke to no one in particular.“I don't think there's any need to keep talking about whether or not Richard was in the wrong or not. Even though I knew full well that he had been unjust to me once which had left a deep dark scar that might never erase for life, but still I choose to forsake it, do you know why?”Even though Elmo wasn't facing any of them, their attention was still on him, so when they heard Elmo question, they gave a confused expression. From their facial expression, one could detect the perplexion and also the confusion.After some moment of silence, Peter's perplexed voice rang, his voice laced with curiosity. He was one of the most curious people who needed to know why Elmo was doing the unexpected. He was completely the exact opposite of what he should be doing.Even Stuart also had a high level of curiosity. From what he knew of Elmo so far was that he doesn't spare or take pity eas
