Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 252

Kyle took a deep breath.

"I know that you're angry, but-"

"Angry?!" Falk interrupted Kyle. "I feel like shit because two of my best friends just died!"

"Yes, angry," Kyle said, "but we-"

"This is not anger!" Falk shouted. "This is righteous indignation! I am furious with the unfairness, and I can't take the thought of never hearing Tracy's or Bormine's voices again!"

"They were our comrades, for fuck's sake!"

"Okay, okay," Kyle said. "Can you please stop interrupting me?"

Falk's eyes widened with fury as his arms shook.

Then, his entire demeanor turned cold.

"Fine, speak," he said with a dark tone.

"I know you're angry," Kyle said, "but we can't just rush into this stuff without a plan. Yes, I also want revenge, but what's the point if it endangers our lives as well? Would Bormine and Tracy want us to take revenge for them at the cost of our own lives?"

An expression of disgust appeared on Falk's face as he looked at Kyle. "No," he spoke slowly.

"There you go," Kyle said in a tone that suggested they were in agreement. "So, why take revenge like this? We can just report it to the Chief, and he will deal with everything."

Silence.

"That's it?" Falk asked.

"Yeah, I thought we agreed on that," Kyle said.

"Do you not want to take revenge? Do you not want to tear this traitorous asshole apart with your own hands for killing our friends?!" Falk asked.

"Of course I want revenge," Kyle said with an exasperated sigh, "but what's the point if we don't have the means? Tracy and Bormine are already dead. Not much we can do about that."

Falk shook his head in disbelief as he looked at Kyle. "Do you even hear yourself?"

"They died ten minutes ago!"

"You talk like they've died months ago!"

"Why are you so calm?"

"Why are you not angry?"

Kyle sighed. "What's the point of anger? It's a shit situation, and the best thing you can do in such a situation is to just accept it and focus on the important stuff."

Falk just looked in shock at Kyle.

"Important stuff?" he asked. "Is this not important?"

"No, not really," Kyle said, scratching the back of his head. "I mean, they're already dead. I can't resurrect the dead."

Falk just kept looking at Kyle for several seconds.

"Are you serious?" he asked.

Kyle furrowed his brows in annoyance. "Yes, I explained myself like five times already."

Falk closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Several seconds of silence passed.

"This day, man…" Falk said, his voice shaky. "This fucking day."

Kyle saw some tears gathering in Falk's eyes and felt a bit bad.

"Yeah, I know," he said. "It sucks."

Falk just shook his head and took off one of the sacks he was carrying.

Then, he grabbed the melting pieces of ice and put them into the sack.

"What are you doing?" Kyle asked.

"Gathering my comrade's remains," Falk said with a weak voice.

"The ice will melt pretty soon," Kyle said. "Is your sack waterproof?"

Kyle wanted to tell Falk that he should use a bottle or a bucket to transport Bormine, but he thought that comment would be a bit inappropriate.

Falk just dropped the sack and remained silent for a while.

"But…" he said slowly. "What am I supposed to tell Bormine's sister? I can't just return without his remains. She needs something to mourn."

'Bormine had a sister?' Kyle thought.

"Take his remaining rapier," Kyle said.

Falk looked over and slowly pulled out the rapier from the ground.

For several seconds, he just looked at the rapier.
