Chapter 107 Who is stronger?
"Long time no see, Griswold," Osborne sneered, a twisted smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.
Silas's eyes narrowed, his gaze cold and unflinching. Osborne had been a source of torment throughout his past, forcing him into dangerous errands for a pittance, finding perverse delight in Silas's discomfort and struggle. Osborne was the one who had made him deliver risky batches of Jelly Weed—a task that had left Silas resentful, wary, and forever suspicious of Osborne's intentions. And here he was again, standing in Silas's path, smirking with that same arrogance that sent a chill of irritation through Silas's veins.
"What do you want, man?" Silas asked, his tone icy, his expression completely indifferent.
"What's with the attitude and questions? You work for me, man, and I haven't seen you at our usual spot for weeks." Osborne replied, his smirk deepening as he stepped closer to Silas, clearly enjoying the power he thought he still held.
"Just to be clear," Silas said, his voice barely concealing his anger, "I don't work for you... I never did. You only used me to deliver illegal goods and left me to face all the consequences."
"I paid you for your hard work, didn't I?" Osborne shot back, taking another step forward. His voice took on a darker tone as he added, "You know damn well how mad I get when you don't show up on time for the deliveries. Decided to stop working? Nah, it doesn't work that way, bro. You don't just walk away from Osborne. I left you a warning a few weeks ago—pretty sure you saw it when you got back from the raid. Today's the day you face the consequences. You're going to be dealt with somewhere no staff will come to your rescue."
Silas remained impassive, his expression an unreadable mask.
"And do tell Vic and his little group that Billy and I are coming for him, too," Osborne continued, glaring at Silas with open disdain. "I heard what happened in the cafeteria a few days ago. Heard you stood up for Vic in that little scuffle. Now I've got two reasons to put an end to you."
Silas regarded him briefly, his face still blank and unmoved. Without another word, he turned and walked forward, his gaze shifting briefly to Billy, who had stayed silent the entire time. Silas gave him a quick, dismissive glance before brushing past them and heading down the hall toward the cafeteria.
'What's with that trash's confidence?' Osborne thought, watching Silas walk away. He had expected Silas to be trembling, maybe even begging after the threats he'd just laid out, but oddly, his words hadn't seemed to affect Silas one bit. It felt like he was staring at a whole different person, not the spineless kid he used to bully.
'Nah, I'm probably overthinking. He's still the same trash,' Osborne told himself, though his eyes flickered with doubt. Turning, he noticed Billy's face flushed bright red with anger.
"What's with you? You haven't said a word this whole time," Osborne said, frowning at his companion.
"Why don't we make this more interesting and duel?" Vic proposed, a mischievous glint in his eye as he looked at Silas. "Silas, I challenge you to a duel."
Silas's eyes widened in surprise, a look of disbelief crossing his face. "You... want to fight me?"
"Yeah, why not? I've always wanted to see who's stronger between us," Vic grinned, wrapping an arm around Silas's shoulders and ruffling his hair. "Don't get me wrong—I know you're stronger. I just want to see how big the gap is."
"Fine," Silas sighed, glancing around the room. "But I can't go all out with all these students around."
"I get it. Just give me a taste of what you've got, even if you're holding back," Vic insisted, clearly determined. "Come on, don't make me beg."
Silas paused, giving him a hard look before letting out a sigh of defeat. "Alright, alright. Just don't say I didn't warn you," he said, a glint of seriousness in his eyes as his expression darkened.
