I’m thinking some dumbass will challenge you because they saw my smackdown yesterday.” Matt thought over the odds and chances and said, “That’s likely, sure, but you made a large enough impression that someone might want to beat you to earn their fame.” They got up and moved to a newly placed standing table, each snagging a drink from a passing waiter.

I welcome any challengers brave enough to step up.” He kept his eyes locked firmly on the republic side, his intentions clear. His provocation worked as five people jumped down.
