Chapter 142: Chapter 142

"So, what will it be? Surely the great red dragon will fight for justice?" Marius's tone was laced with mocking bravado.

Sylas let out a sarcastic chuckle. Marius looked smug, as though he'd already won. "What an idiot," Sylas thought. He'd encountered this type before, people who thought they'd grasped power just because they served someone influential. Such people loved to flaunt their "understanding" of politics.

Dealing with fools like this was simple: bring them crashing back to reality.

"You're Marius Greve, right?" Sylas asked.

"Yes, that's correct."

"I challenge you to a duel."

Marius's face went blank, as if he couldn't believe what he'd just heard. "Pardon me?"

"I challenge you to a duel," Sylas repeated.

"N-Not me!" Marius stammered. "Challenge Bjorn if you want a fight!"

"No, you're the one I'm challenging, not Bjorn."

"But why…?" Marius asked, visibly trembling.
