At this moment, Vladimir's eyes gleamed fiercely; no wonder this fatty targeted him at every turn, it turns out he was the very opponent Vladimir nearly battled during the FCA Alliance War a few years back. Understanding this, he could now make sense of it.

Indeed, he had planned to teach those people from the Yate Federation a lesson, primarily to vent his sister's anger. After all, Mirami was young at the time, and those people were ruthless in their actions, which was something Vladimir could not tolerate.

Furthermore, as one of the Heavenly Kings of Hell's Gate, he was also keen on testing the strength of the federal soldiers. Sena's genetics were inherently superior to those Earthlings, and as part of the allied forces, Vladimir did not trust the allies' strength to be reliable, seizing that time to also display his might.

From the looks of it at that time, if he hadn't stepped in, Hell's Gate would indeed have been disgraced. However, fate twisted as the Revenge Shadow Rider suddenly appeared midway.

Of course, at that time, Vladimir had only heard of the Revenge Shadow Rider in rumors, and having heard doesn't make it real; he hadn't yet witnessed the terrifying strength of a real Revenge Shadow Rider.

As a supreme Red Cloak, harboring an invincible belief, Vladimir was indeed somewhat competitive back then and without further ado began to clash with the Revenge Shadow Rider.

But it was only upon this encounter that he realized just how terrifying the Revenge Shadow Rider was, even more frightening than the rumors suggested; being a supreme Red Cloak, he couldn't even mount an attack, only able to defend.

The Revenge Shadow Rider's marksmanship was too formidable; he even lacked the mind to observe his surroundings, leading to a dangerous situation for Mirami. Fortunately, an astounding shot from the Revenge Shadow Rider rescued Mirami. But as good elements exist, so do bad—when misfortune arrives, blessings follow. While his sister Mirami became safe due to that shot from the Revenge Shadow Rider, his own fluctuation of emotions accidentally led to his defeat.

At that time, Vladimir was incredibly furious, the atmosphere charged; but many years later, looking back, he felt it was nothing much. Losing to the Revenge Shadow Rider wasn't shameful; losing to the Revenge Shadow Rider was not shameful for anyone.

Not to mention him, even top warriors like Kexiao and Desert Storm, who were slightly stronger than him, losing to the Revenge Shadow Rider was justified.

On the contrary, having battled the Revenge Shadow Rider was indeed an honor in itself, as most people worldwide would never get the chance to have even one interaction with the Revenge Shadow Rider.

Battling the Revenge Shadow Rider in itself could be considered a memorable event, right?

However, what is this fatty anyway? Though he had been defeated and lost to the Revenge Shadow Rider, and had been overprotective of his sister, which he cannot deny was somewhat excessive, he only had one sister, Mirami. Since their parents died, Mirami was his only family member. How could he not protect her? Plus, given Mirami's inherently mischievous and quirky nature and her cleverness but minimal interaction with the outside world.

It could be said that Mirami's growth differed from most; she didn't have an ordinary childhood as hers was spent in elite classes in private schools with few friends. As she grew older, due to her talents and his influence, Mirami entered the Sena Military Department, and even now she lacks real-world experience.

Although Mirami is known as a highly talented 12-star, ultimately her combat experience remains too limited, and her reliance on her X Ability means her actual combat level is not notably exceptional, otherwise, she wouldn't have lost to the federal soldier Elvis at the time.

This only intensified Vladimir's care for Mirami; whether travelling or anything else, most people find it hard to manage Mirami, only Roland being by her side puts him at ease.

But Roland, after all, has a special identity, coming and going without a trace. Having been out of touch for a year, suddenly getting news of him being here made Mirami insist on seeing Roland, and so he came along as well.

Who knew that by coming along, he'd be immediately confronted by the fatty uttering such a line, leaving Vladimir flushed with embarrassment.

Upon hearing Roland's introduction and realizing the fatty's identity, Vladimir finally understood; so, this damned fatty was remembering that past trash? Indeed, had the Revenge Shadow Rider not been there back then, he truly would have fought the fatty, and it's almost certain he would have won, while the fatty would have suffered a miserable defeat.

Of course, the current Vladimir still has a clear understanding of his own strength; he knows that even with his capabilities, facing those top warriors would most likely lead to more losses than wins. However, for an elite pilot at the Red Cloak stage, he still holds an absolute advantage.

Losing to the Revenge Shadow Rider isn't shameful, but what are you, fatty? What right do you have to criticize me in this situation? You're not worthy!

Upon hearing Roland's introduction, Vladimir was momentarily stunned, falling into a few seconds of contemplation. In these seconds of recollection, he recalled many past stories and then smiled, provokingly lifting his eyebrows at the fatty, "What, you have a problem with that?"

"Hey, in this lifetime I've barely accepted a few people, and who do you think you are?"

Vladimir shrugged helplessly, not getting too angry, at least on the outside; he knew the other party was targeting him intentionally, much like how he had targeted the Federation during that battle, but the roles had just reversed. He casually said, "Who are those few people you've accepted?"
