"I'm crazy?!" Pax took a couple steps back and whipped out his phone. "Fuck off! You're the crazy ones here!" Pointing at Hux, he snarled viciously, "You bastard! Have | ever mistreated you?!" "No," Hux replied calmly even as he glowered.
"Then why did you have to usurp me?!" Pax shrieked, his eyes wide in rage. "Why?! Why did you have to betray me?!" Hux sighed. "Think about it. If you were in my place, would you really say no to becoming the boss?" Pax froze at Hux's words and sighed after a long while. "No." "Then you have no right to blme. We always were just colleagues—not partners with fire-forged bonds," Hux said coolly. "What I'm doing isn't betrayal. Only the strong get to lead! You said so yourself." "Hah!" Pax spat. "Strong? You?! You're just a footsoldier with nothing going for you aside from dumb luck!" "And dumb luck is still a form of strength. Admit it, Pax," Hux growled.
"Enough!" Ned snapped impatiently, stopping Pax's hysterics as he glared coolly at the man. "Think carefully about what you want to do, Pax, and cclean." "Cclean?!" Pax snarled viciously. "You're just another lucky prick born to a better family than mine! You used your position as an heir of the Janko family to orderaround, tellingto step down just because you felt like it! I've spent years building up the Sunblazers, and all of it is gone just because you said so! So I'll have you die for my pleasure!" "What are you doing?!" Hux bellowed.
"What am | doing?!" Pax sneered. "Fine, | won't hide it—the wine was already poisoned in the first place, and | took the antidote just in case! Hah! Trying to turn the tables on me?! Now die in regret!" Everyone turned pale at Pax's words... aside from Frank.
Striding forward, he glanced at Gigi seemingly nonchalantly as he asked quietly, "It's not that simple, is it? That woman isn't your wife—I'm guessing she's an assassin you hired off the Blackrank." "Good eye—that's a martial elite for you." Pax sneered, shaking his head. "You may be Ascendant rank, but you drank a lot, didn't you? Not even martial elites can survive the nervebreaker! And when all of you are unable to fight, Gigi here will cut you into tiny pieces!" Then, holding up his phone and waving it smugly to everyone around the table, he gloated, "After that, I'll blow up the hotel and cover my tracks well. You can regret forcingto step down in hell soon, Mr.
Janko! Then, turning toward Hux, he smiled savagely.
"Really, Hux? Trying to pit your shallow wit against mine? For shame!" Pax laughed. "I will still lead the Sunblazers after this, while none of you will be remembered!"
