All eyes shifted toward Tony Clark.
The challenge had already been thrown. There was no way to pretend it hadn't happened. The entire weapon hall had turned into a stage, and everyone present knew it.
Some elders standing at the edges exchanged quiet looks. They understood exactly how uneven this fight would be. A twelfth-class discipline marshal against a grand master marshal.
The gap wasn't small... It was a one way death.
Julie clenched her fists at Tony's side. She could clearly see what was happening. Edward didn't come here for a fair fight. He came to humiliate Tony in front of everyone. Still, she held herself back. This wasn't her decision to make.
Many in the crowd had already made up their minds.
"He won't accept."
"He can't win."
"It'll be a one-sided fight."
Edward stood there confidently, waiting.
Before Tony could respond, Lily stepped forward. "Edward, why are you challenging him like this? If you want a fight, fight someone suitable. Fight me."
