Blackguards accompanied some of them, resulting in an unavoidable conflict.
These guys were simply… too much. Too strong, too fast, too cunning. Richard and Caiden were having a lot of problems following Becker, who was the only one who was having a relatively easy time.
Becker was strong, much stronger than most people, to the point he was considered the second strongest person on the planet before the Fierce Lioness.
Though he knew he was the third now. Erik Romano, the son of a trusted friend, took his spot, and likely even the Fierce Lioness'.
His strength was too much. He was cunning to an almost devious level, but that wasn't all.
The ability to make powerful, but most importantly, smart clones, was too strong of an ability to go unnoticed.
