Lie Wushuang's new opponent snuffed out the pompous flame in an instant. Lie Wushuang used to listen to his cousin, Lie Jian, commenting on the heirs of the great houses, and concluded that only Patroclus's tactics were perfect.
The Tactics of the Deva King were well known for its difficulty, as they were difficult to master it even for the heir of the Dower family, until Patroclus.
Patroclus's appearance had caught everyone off guard, because it went against his usual quietness and lowkey lifestyle. Sensing that he had no way out of this confrontation, Lie Wushuang decided to accept the fight.
The silver lining for Lie Wushuang was that he would only need to counter Patroclus's strike once. Lie Wushuang wagered that he would have a chance to save face after all.
