'You bastard…you dare play tricks on me? You overestimate yourself too much!' Kenji thought, furious as he checked the weapon rack for an appropriate dagger to use.
By now, even he could see that Ian had just been putting on an act earlier.
What infuriated him, though, was that the bastard had the audacity to lure him into a high-stakes sparring match, as if he would back down like a coward if Ian had directly proposed his absurd bet.
To be fair, Kenji subconsciously recognized that he might have hesitated if his opponent had confidently proposed the bet.
This, however, was exactly why he felt so infuriated when he saw Ian's true demeanor.
He couldn't stand that he'd been deceived, but what infuriated him even more was the immense disrespect of being treated like a coward by a mere Valenzian.
Kenji swore to make Ian pay for daring to do such a thing to him.
