Seeing this, Ian Stone couldn't help but look thoughtful. He vaguely felt that Gavin Ji's challenge to Drake Liu was premeditated, but where did Gavin get the confidence to beat Drake?
Ordinary folks might not know how strong Drake Liu really is, but the Ji Clan definitely does, right?
Since they know Drake Liu's strength is way above Gavin Ji's, why would they set themselves up for embarrassment?
For a moment, even Ian Stone couldn't figure out what the Ji Clan was really up to.
"Relax, Boss! Three days from now, I'll beat that punk so bad he won't be able to take care of himself!" Back in the private box, Drake Liu said confidently to Ian Stone.
"Do you think Gavin Ji challenged you on his own, or was this the Ji Clan's idea?" Ian Stone looked at Drake Liu and asked.
Drake Liu curled his lip. "Probably that punk's ego blew up after he beat Bohan Bai!"
"Not necessarily."
Ian Stone shook his head.
"Why?" Drake Liu asked reflexively.
"This isn't the place to chat. Let's head back first!"
Half a quarter hour later, at the Dragonfolk Liaison Station.
Drake Liu, who'd been holding back his questions, blurted out as soon as they got back: "Boss, what did you mean just now?"
"I think Gavin Ji's challenge was planned ahead of time!" Ian Stone said seriously.
"No way!" Drake Liu was totally unconvinced. "With the Ji Clan's connections, they should know how strong I am. If they really wanted a fight, they'd send Ji Bing at least!"
Suddenly, Ian Stone had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "What if they pull some dirty tricks?"
"Boss, you mean...?" Hearing Ian Stone say that, Drake Liu instantly got it. "Would the Ji Clan really dare go that far?"
Ian Stone mused, "Don't forget, this is all about the Creation Sky Monolith. For more chances, the Ji Clan would totally do this, and take risks too. Anyway, before the duel, be careful. Don't let the Ji Clan get any openings!"
Drake Liu nodded seriously. "Got it, Boss. Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
With some people stirring the pot, news of Gavin Ji beating Bohan Bai spread fast throughout the Imperial Capital. At the same time, rumors about Ian Stone supposedly fearing the fight started making the rounds.
