Seeing the big guy sweat nervously, Liam patted him and pushed him forward. "This floor is just a gateway. As long as we win one fight here, we can go up. So no need to be so nervous."
What he didn't tell Derek was that the fights were not called on a first come first serve basis.
Rather, the highest level player was called out first and since they had registered together as a group, Derek being weaker among the two had the first chance to fight.
In other words, apart from Liam, he was the strongest player right now on this floor.
Of course, if Liam had mentioned this, the poor guy might have had more confidence when stepping into the ring, but he did not plan to make his life easy.
Since Liam had effectively altered the fate and relieved a lot of stress from this person's life, it unfortunately now fell upon his shoulders to sharpen this blade.
