"First meetings always require some talking points, don't they?"
Smiling towards Rocky, Athena said casually, suggesting that the duel she had arranged was simply an excuse to meet him...!
Unfortunately, Rocky, having heard this, didn't know what to say anymore. He finally understood why people like Bodin treated Athena with such respect from a distance—what was on this woman's mind, truly, no one could comprehend!
After a moment of stupor, Rocky regained his composure and continued to ask, "Miss Athena, since this duel was arranged by you, what is it that you wish to discuss with me?"
Just now, Athena had stated that her purpose in meeting Rocky was regarding the duel, but, in Rocky's view, there wasn't much to talk about the duel itself since the outcome seemed obvious—could he possibly lose to Bernardo?
It wasn't that Rocky was arrogant, but he genuinely had not considered this possibility, nor had anyone around him, including Liliya.
However, Athena didn't see it that way!
