A few seconds passed with no one lifting their hands. However, no one confirmed that they sided with Sergi either. It was still hanging in the air and it only made Sergi more and more desperate.
"Don't even think about it, you bastards! Are you really hesitating?! He's a goddamn mo-"
"Ok, ok, shut the hell up," Arthur said as he pressed his foot on the man's face. "I don't need you to start crying like a baby now. They are thinking about your life too. You can get rid of me now, but you will only end up food to the monsters lurking in the river."
"..."
The reality was that their lives were the most important thing to them while Sergi didn't care much about his life. He only wanted to see Arthur dead and if that meant sacrificing himself, then so be it.
So, when he saw his friends hesitating, he felt extremely outraged. He couldn't believe they would also betray him and side with Arthur. It felt like someone had plunged a knife right into his chest.
