Lucio noticed Krune's expression after his request, so he sent him a Divine Sense Message.
'What's wrong? Do you think you would lose?'
Krune shook his head.
'That's not it.'
After that, Krune went through the entire situation for Lucio to hear.
'To think such a thing happened... However, you're right about one thing. They didn't challenge you because they knew that Liriu and Heavin entered the Soren Ruins. It was most likely just a coincidence. Still, the fight itself isn't a coincidence. You know that, right?'
Krune nodded.
'Yes. This trade route dispute started so that they can test my strength. After all, I did show off a little when I defended Joty against the Tribulation. They also selected this trade route since it would affect the Divine Path Sect. It was to make sure I wouldn't refuse.'
Lucio agreed with Krune.
