Fat Jim chuckled, giving Morpheus' shoulder a friendly pat with his chubby hand. "Think about it carefully. Your next
opponent is too formidable. You're the brother I value the most. I can't stand by and watch you perish!"
Morpheus didn't turn to look at him, only hearing his heavy footsteps gradually receding.

In a moment of anxiety, Wynn blurted out, "Do you want to lose the match in front of Sephy?"
"What did you say?"

asked me to pass on the message.
