"So, should we inform Dejir to be cautious?"
"No need."
Without hesitation or doubt, a steady smile uttered statements that felt chilling.
"In this battle, I have granted both parties equal power. I won't interfere with Roland's actions, and I have already advised Dejir to do his utmost. Whether he heeds the advice is his own business. If he is defeated by underestimating Roland even after witnessing Gelite's example, then it only proves his worth is limited. Similarly, the same is true for Roland. They are no longer children; they should learn to take care of themselves."
Nothing is irreplaceable, whether it be the chess pieces on the board or the people who dance and fight in the palm of my hand. There are always replacements to be found.
Red eyes glanced out the window, and Li Lin displayed a smile as if pleased.
"Whether Dejir is more skilled or Roland has a slight edge, let's witness it for ourselves."
