However, much to Lucien's astonishment, Leonard's response was unexpectedly hostile. "Who's your friend? Get lost!" Leonard snapped, his voice laced with annoyance. Then, in an instant, his expression softened as he shifted his attention to Lucien. "Let's go, my friend. The seat next to me has been vacant for a long time, waiting for your esteemed presence."
Shamed and seething with anger, the red-haired man trembled with fury. His face flushed crimson as he unleashed a thunderous bellow. "Leonard! You've crossed the line! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to beat you?"
"Then come and try to beat me! Do you honestly believe you have the capability to do so?" Leonard scoffed.
"You!" The red-haired man shouted furiously as he unleashed his power, causing flames to engulf his body. However, there was a clear distinction between the flames he summoned and Gilbert's.
