Brian took a smiling step forward.
The older generation knew that saving face meant little compared to practical benefits.
Luke immediately spoke out, "Dad, you can't! Your injury..."
"I'm fine."
Brian cut him off. "Besides, as an elder, it's my job to set an example. Only then will everyone be willing to give their all!"
He turned to King and said, "Let's begin."
The crowd quickly stepped back, clearing the field.
Keira watched the scene.
If James and Luke could win this match, she wanted to conserve her strength, especially since they were still battling Fox.
Revealing too much too soon could lead to faster losses.
Her identity as the senior sister of the Freeman Sect needed to stay concealed unless absolutely necessary.
She looked at Brian.
At that moment, a hint of admiration arose in her eyes.
