"Huh, what do you an by that?" Lady Ivy asked, her brow furrowed.
All over the universe, everyone watching the live interview was left in a state of shock. Those who supported Rouni and the majority of the warriors in the Warrior Tower were all seething in anger.
It is a known fact in the entire universe that whenever a warrior is rejected from joining the Warrior Tower, they go above and beyond to prove themselves. Millions had died trying to prove themselves.
So for Klaus, who had a chance to fight soone respected in all of the Warrior Tower, the last thing they expected was him saying he accepted the challenge because he hated the way Rouni smiled.
It was both humiliating and disrespectful, not only to Rouni but also to the entire Warrior Tower.
Many people were angry, but Klaus had only just begun.
"I don’t know what you want to say, Lady Ivy. I genuinely hate the way he smiles. It is so fake."
"How fake?"
"Like putting on a show. He wanted to appear genuine, like soone who isn’t affected by all the fa and success he was getting, when, in fact, he was so happy and full of pride.
If you don’t believe , pull the video of his interview, and I will show you."
Lady Ivy, already looking to make waves, pulled the video of her interview with Rouni. It started playing for all to see. Along the way, Klaus paused it.
It was when Rouni was asked how he felt now that he had entered the Top Ten Grandmaster-Level Foreign Battlefield Chart.
He only let a smile appear on his face and, in a so fake, nonchalant tone, responded. This was what triggered Klaus.
"A genuine person would give a broad smile, letting it reach their eyes. I an, he is but a True Immortal who had made it into a ranking that had been charted by only Immortal Kings for millions of years.
Just the re fact that he had made an appearance there, even if for a minute, he should have been proud of his achievent. I know I would, for it is not simple to achieve sothing that monuntal.
I respect him as a warrior for achieving sothing that big, but the fact that he tried to play it like it was nothing, in my eyes, is an insult to those who had been working hard to rank on that Chart.
It was like saying, ’Sure, I made it to the top ten, but there is nothing special about it.’ That, if I were to be on that Chart, would have pissed off. So maybe after I defeat him, he will learn to show genuine emotion.
Of course, he can co to to help him." Klaus laughed, then added, "I majored in Psychology for a sester, so I qualify to give him the roadmap on how to show genuine emotion."
And just like that, Klaus changed the narrative. Many who knew sothing about emotional intelligence started to notice the fake emotions Rouni gave, and that just left them all wondering how much Klaus had poured into knowing his opponent before their duel.
So warriors even shuddered, seeing how much detail Klaus had picked up from a re video. If he could read his opponent like that, then how much could he do when he t his opponent in person?
There were going to be many conversations about what he had just done for weeks. In their opinion, it takes soone years to co close to achieving what Klaus had done from a re video.
"You are an interesting and scary person, Renegade Hunter."
"I just pay attention to detail. Trust , with enough insight into your opponent, there is just nothing you can’t do. Like they say, knowing your opponent is half the battle won."
"So you like to get under the skin of your opponent before battles, huh?"
Klaus grinned. "If it ans winning, then why not? Battle is more than swinging weapons. It has to do with how much you can read and anticipate your opponent.
I have honed my mind to always be a step ahead, so just like how I used my smartness to poison Blood Shadow, in two days, I will wipe the floor with our dear Rouni and show him what being a true warrior ans.
He claims we Hunters only know how to use tricks to win battles. That may be true, but if my mission is to kill an Immortal King and, at the end of the day, I manage to kill them using my tricks, isn’t that a win?"
Lady Ivy seed to understand what Klaus was trying to do, so she allowed him to continue.
"You know, I have not yet t a demon, but I know that when it cos to using dirty tricks, they are experts.
I don’t hate them for knowing dirty tricks because, at the end of the day, it is win or lose. If they use tricks to kill today, they win, but if I can outsmart them, that would be my win.
No demon or foreign race warrior would propose that they drop their weapons and other items before a battle. They would always have sothing up their sleeve.
So if you ask what a warrior should be like, it should be soone with the ability to use all kinds of ans to win. If a demon uses innocents to restrict you, don’t run; find a way to save the innocent and complete your mission.
In fact, we hunters mostly go against people who have no problem using innocents as their shield. However, we always find ways to rescue the innocent and take care of the threat.
So if anything, being a warrior should be having the ability to adapt in battle using any trick. He can co for a lesson once I defeat him and prove to him that Hunters are just as good as Warriors."
Many people were angry, but many were happy. Especially the Hunters; they all beca happy. Klaus had no fear; he was talking against the Warrior Tower, so they would support him from the background.
In fact, Klaus himself didn’t want to do this, but he wanted the Warrior Tower to know he is not soone they can stomp on.
During his seventh incarnation, nobody dared disrespect him. The legendary Paragon of War was a threat to everyone.
So he would not lower his head and let these people disrespect him. He may not be powerful now, but in a few years, his na will strike fear into the hearts of many.
"You are very bold, Renegade Hunter. Aren’t you afraid so people will be angry and co after you?"
Klaus laughed, almost as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life. This behavior yet again left everyone in shock, many wondering if he had gone mad.
It is public knowledge that Rouni has three brothers who are gods and a sister who can be considered one of the strongest gods in the universe.
That is enough reason to make anyone scared.
"You know, the main reason why I would never reveal where I am from and what family I am from is for monts like this. If I have a beef with my peer and his family decides to interfere, I would have no guilt unleashing my family on them.
I an, my uncles would have no problem doing my dirty work for ."
Klaus grinned, and trillions shuddered.
