"..." Mr. Xugou seemed to agree with my statement by default.
He did not hold back during the battle, and for the most part, he was going all out. However, when my Flame Magic Power and his Sword Gang Storm fiercely interweaved at an extremely close distance, I sensed his hesitation.
I vaguely understood what he was hesitating about at that moment—he didn't want to affect Little Bowl, this little girl who looked only about ten years old.
His Killing Move was so fierce that even though my power was much stronger, I had to give my all from the beginning to ensure I could overpower it. During this process, any slight relaxation of my strength would result in Little Bowl, who was under my protection, being in mortal danger.
I was confident in my ability to protect Little Bowl during the conflict, but from Mr. Xugou's perspective, regardless of whether he was aware of the gap between us, standing against me meant he would need the resolve to destroy me and Little Bowl at all costs.
