Byron was a top expert that Edmund had hired from abroad at a high price.
He rarely appeared in the nation, so very few people knew his name. But he was an internationally renowned expert specialized in killing. He had successfully completed countless missions, and many experts had died at his hands.
Edmund originally thought that Lucas might not need to fight in this competition because he had found a powerful expert like Byron.
But after looking at Byron's expression, Edmund knew that Julian, the expert from the Peerless Martial Association's headquarters, was indeed incredibly powerful, and even Byron wasn't certain of defeating him.
"Just do your best!" This was the only thing Edmund could say in the end.
If Byron was defeated, Lucas was likely the only one who could take over.
While they were talking, Julian led the people from the Peerless Martial Association and sat down at the VIP seats reserved for them.
