( Karna's POV )
By the time Neatwit returned to the base camp with Sophia as his restrained prisoner, Karna and the Cowards Army had completed setting up the long-range siege weapons.
"You're back? So Rocky's plan actually worked?" Karna asked, sighing in relief as he had been on edge for the past hour, feeling anxious about whether or not Rocky's risky plan would succeed.
"Yes, apparently the kid's a genius. I'm telling you Karna, very soon he will replace you as the Earth's strongest fighter.
That boy is beyond fearsome" Neatwit said, as he began singing praises of Rocky and his potential.
"Well of course, he is a genuine 'SSS' talent. Of course he will overtake me in the long-run" Karna said, as he smiled softly at the thought of there being someone who could finally surpass him and with it take the burden of carrying all the hopes of Earth.
