The creatures from the nations surrounding the defense line are discussing Jia Yan and the two strong ones of the Great Empire.
"Yes, have you heard? A few months ago, when Lord Jia Yan arrived at the Kawai Defense Line, he immediately killed a secondary powerhouse of the enemy. Flame fought another secondary powerhouse to the brink of death. When Lord Jia Yan wanted to assist, that monster saw him and fled without even turning its head. Haha, it shows how far Flame is behind him."
On a star that serves as the headquarters for a certain power, a venue akin to an Earth person's bar for relaxing is where several guests engage in lively conversation, sharing intelligence with a hint of sarcasm towards the Great Empire.
"Humph."
As they converse, a monster in a corner of the venue nearly impulsively jumps up.
"Forget it, I really can't compare to that Jia Yan. What they say is the truth."
Beside this monster, a creature enveloped in a faint flame restrains its outburst.
