CHAPTER 152: Bloodflower
Ethan's flat response left everyone in stunned silence.
Especially Xun Wei, who hadn't expected such a blunt refusal.
Still trying to suppress his anger, he spoke in a calm tone,

As much as he wanted to rush at him, they were in the imperial capital.
If he caused a scene here, missing the tournament would be the least of his problems.
He was trying to goad Ethan into accepting the challenge, which is why he said those words.
But Ethan didn't seem concerned at all by what he said and responded simply,
"You see, I already have a spot in the tournament, but you don't.
So fighting you doesn't make sense for me.
After all, even if I win, I gain nothing.
