Wang Xiao grinned slightly, but his next question was sharp. "So, when are you announcing me as the real Guardian of Europe?" His voice carried a casual tone, but the implication was clear—Wang Xiao wasn't going to relinquish his claim on European territory.
Renji Hayashi nodded, though the strain on his face didn't go unnoticed.
Officially announcing the Eight Prince as a guardian was a mere formality, but, "There is someone who wants to contest you," Renji said, his voice calm but deliberate. "She has defeated every challenger in the line and is now the top contender for the European Guardian. Unless you defeat her, the legion won't accept your claim."
Wang Xiao paused, his eyebrows lifting in surprise. "Hm?" he murmured. He knew of the legion's rules but had expected no one to challenge him—especially after his reputation for brutality had spread far and wide.
'Someone dares to stand against me?'
