28 - Getting Ready [1]

"Evil doesn't stop when you tell them to. They stop when you make them."

I said firmly. And hearing my words—

"..."

Brock, Khan, and Jin went silent.

"Whoa..."

Brock mumbled.

"That's some good words you got there."

He said, the corner of his lips rising into a grin. And after him—

"Yeah, that's something."

"Haha, I like you even more now, kid."

Khan and Jin chimed in one after another.

"..."

Fwip—

I just shrugged my shoulders at them.

"My bad, kid. You're absolutely right about that one."

Brock said, patting me on the back with a big smile on his face.

"We'll be cheering you on again during your next fight."

He added with a confident nod.

"Yeah."

"Mhm."

Khan and Jin nodded along.

"Thanks."

I simply replied, smiling a little bit. I'm glad that these guys are friendly to me.
