Rory still looked worried. "But Vangar is Rank Twelve. Can the two of them really beat him?"
Yuel glanced at Vincent on the screen before replying calmly, "Whether they can win… isn't up to them. It's up to Vangar."
Meanwhile, outside the villa––
"I accept your challenge."
Hearing Xarion openly declare that he wanted to beat him, and Vincent formally challenge him despite being his subordinate, Vangar not only failed to get angry—he actually smiled.
Then he nodded. "However, you've both just returned after a long journey. I'll allow you to eat properly and rest first before challenging me."
"Vangar's right."
Rory's voice drifted over as she and Yuel approached carrying the selected mutant beast meat.
"Vincent, Xarion—I'm not against you challenging Vangar. But you've only just come back. You both need proper rest first. It won't be too late to fight him tomorrow."
She walked over to Xarion and gently cupped his face, lightly stroking it with concern.
