A Duel

Kai's fists clenched tightly at his sides, his body trembling with barely contained rage. "You don't know what you're talking about," he spat. "Yanzi isn't a toy, and I didn't run away. I did what I had to do to save her."

Liang chuckled, his condescension only deepening. "Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night, little brother. Just remember, when I'm head of this family, things will be very different."

"Well, little brother, I have better things to do."

Kai's anger flared, and he couldn't hold back any longer. "Take that back!" he yelled, his voice echoing down the corridor.

Liang stopped in his tracks, turning slightly to gaze at Kai with a cold, condescending eye. "Take what back, exactly?"

Kai's fists clenched at his sides. "What you said about Yanzi being a toy. Take it back."

Liang's smirk grew wider. "Yanzi is its name, huh? Fine, I'll be sure to call it Yanzi from now on."
