They had expected it to be an easy fight.

“Over my dead body! Trying to steal our cargo? You must be joking!” Drakon scoffed.

Panthera roared, “That’s right! If you want to take our cargo, you’ll have to go through us.”

“He guessed correctly. But how could his guess be anything but pure luck?” Phenix grumbled.

“If Levi was so confident, he should’ve insisted on us changing routes! He relented to our decision in the end! He wasn’t sure as well!”

“It’s all Levi’s fault that we took so much damage.”
