'I...feel like I shouldn't be surprised by these statements...but also, what the hell?'
When Zhen Liu saw that Olstenna had blown open Splatter's chest and had destroyed the kaijin's [Core] in the process, he was expecting some form of negative backlash from the Kaijin and their creator.
He expected the Kaijin in the crowd to shout out insults, to release cries of pain and anger over the fact that one of their own had just been cruelly killed in such a strange manner.
At least, that's what would happen if one of his own Kaijin got injured. The rest of them would fly into a blind rage over such things.
Zhen Liu expected Splatter's creator, the "Kaijin Lord" sitting to his right, to get angry, mournful, just...something that would signify that he had cared for the death of the giant toad-like Kaijin.
Zhen Liu witnessed none of these.
No cries of sorrow.
No shouts of rage.
