Daneel had been expecting something like this since the moment he had arrived at this sect, itself.
In every powerful force, there was always some or the other character who would think high and mighty of themselves, so much so that they would want to assert their dominance on anyone who visited the Sect from outside.
In the case of Daneel, he was actually a ripe candidate for someone like this to take pleasure in challenging and then beating him.
Everyone knew that Daneel was a King, and although this was only in the Central Continent, he was pretty sure that he would still be the target of jealousy.
After all, who wouldn't want to be revered thousands and tens of thousands of people?
All these people knew that they would probably never be in such a position. However, most were fine with it.
Some, though…would have too much of a superiority complex that wouldn't allow them to settle for the fact that someone from the Central Continent was greater than them in any aspect.
