Calm down, calm down, Jarkon thought internally!! Gradually, his anger began to settle. This isn't the time to get angry over a few words from someone who is going to die anyway!! But this loss of face won't be forgotten; I'll have his entire family pay for the insult he has caused me.
Jarkon clenched his fists before relaxing them. He looked at the Minotaur who had just spoken with a neutral face—one with no expression of anger or frustration!!
"Whether you believe me or not isn't up for debate. All I need is to have the others on my side, and that's it... If you want to die, then please do so; go to some ship on the front line!! The enemy ahead cannot be defended against!! No matter how powerful we are, no matter who has our backs!!"
"Furthermore," Jarkon continued, his voice dropping to a cold edge, "if you believe the Star Empire and the others are going to come and save your ass, then you are very mistaken!!"
