"That Incident at the Little Heroes Tournament... annoying, for sure," he declared, his voice slick and assured. "Make no mistake, Gerrard. If my son hadn't gotten sidelined with that injury Quadra had caused, He would've won his fight against Jan Ates. No doubt."
Sitting across from him, Gerrard Freya, Valencia's father, was relaxed. He sported a more casual sense of style, yet his presence held an undeniable power of its own.
"Times change, old friend," he replied. "Three years can make a world of difference. Let's appreciate this long-awaited rematch for what it is – two rising stars of the Pinnacle going head-to-head."
