When the warriors inside Eden heard about Hagen's challenge, they all thought the Chieftain of the Grimhowl Tribe was only trying to save face.
They all knew the young Chieftain of the Aslan Tribe was brave, but he was no warrior.
Even Godwin, Malik, Duncan, Oswald, and Garen believed that Hagen was just grasping at straws, hoping he would get a chance to reclaim his honor.
On the other hand, Troy didn't make any comment. But he also found this situation quite amusing and waited for Leone's official response.
And to everyone's surprise, Leone had agreed to the duel. No one saw it coming!
Not even those who genuinely believed in Leone!
"Meet me in the arena. I'll be there."
That was the young chieftain's reply. It was simple, and yet carried a confidence that couldn't be denied.
Everyone heard it, and so they hurried to the arena to spectate this farce.
Yes.
A farce.
From the start, no one thought Leone could win.
