Dominance
Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, Jason couldn't help but feel irked.
However, instead of commenting on the challenge he received, Jason got up from the chair he was seated in before entering the combat arena.
A moment later, Byakur manifested in his hand.
Tightly grasping it, he swung it around a little before looking at the middle-aged man.
He seemed to be seething in anger because Jason didn't show him any respect.
It was considered a tradition to show respect to the elderly on Argos by giving them a light bow, however, Jason couldn't bother.
First of all, they were not on Argos anymore, and second, the middle-aged man was less powerful than he was.
As such, Jason would clearly show him that age had nothing to do with gaining respect.
It was your persona and your achievements that would command respect from others naturally without the need to actively seek it!
