Who's the real monster?

"Do you believe I'll kill you right now if you don't stop shouting?" Luke said in a heavy voice. He didn't want their shouts to alert the others if they weren't already.

Hearing this, the guy with the wooden club trembled in fear and immediately shut up. 

The other guy pushed the sword closer to Lori's neck and said, "Didn't you hear me? Stop right there if you don't want her to die."

Luke's footsteps didn't pause. Smiling lightly, he said, "Kill her then."

The duo's expression changed completely upon hearing this. The little sense of security they had after taking Lori hostage immediately vanished.

"Y-You are joking, right?" The guy with the sword said.

Luke shook his head and seriously said. "No. I'm completely serious. You can kill her if you want."

Initially, Lori was confused when Luke didn't stop despite the threat, but a moment later, she understood.
