Everyone should know who the Revenge Shadow Rider is. About this person's name, take a moment to understand; this guy has consistently operated without any so-called rules to speak of. He comes and goes as he pleases, with nothing able to hold him back. The Revenge Shadow Rider is no fool and would naturally consider the danger involved in any battle. As such, whether the Revenge Shadow Rider shows up or not, his status in people's hearts won't change, only that their anticipation for him may wane a bit.

Despite that, nothing can stop the world's love for the Revenge Shadow Rider. He is one of a kind and does not abide by rules; this was evident from his initial counterattack. Whenever people think he is about to fail, he reverses the situation. The Revenge Shadow Rider has repeatedly surpassed limits, transcended himself, and also exceeded people's understanding of him. From an obscure gamer to a silent warrior, surfing the stars, everything might seem to happen by chance, but in fact, there isn't a single bit of it that is accidental. Even if the Revenge Shadow Rider had failed once, he wouldn't have garnered such immense popularity, nor would he make any move that isn't in line with his style without potentially restricting that popularity.

Take the issue with Xiao Wei's family, for example. This seemingly ordinary girl with a beautiful face and a somewhat introverted personality is a loyal fan of the Revenge Shadow Rider. Who would have thought that she would trade her chance at interaction for a lifelong request to the Revenge Shadow Rider? This is something that most people would not agree to. Those public figures only talk big, but their actions are merely for show; they would never approach a super-family unrelated to themselves over such a matter.

But the Revenge Shadow Rider is different. He is the kind that once he says he'll help you, he will see it through to the end without any compromise. He never accepts compromise! It doesn't matter who the other party is—a person, a dog, a family, a Black Devil gang, or even an entire country. To the Revenge Shadow Rider, none of these make any significant difference. What he considers is how to fulfill a promise made to someone in need of help, not the strength of the opposition. And what if the opposition is a power? Even with Saudi, the Revenge Shadow Rider didn't hesitate to offend. He is the only one who exists beyond the law. People's love for him has long exceeded superficial adoration; it's also rooted in a belief deep within their souls. And when this belief collides with reality, the resulting spark cannot be merely described as dazzling. This is the era of the Revenge Shadow Rider, and an era where people are crazy for him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, viewers, this is the Military Channel, and the footage you're seeing is being recorded live from Mardis—whether the Revenge Shadow Rider will appear today remains uncertain, and even our own safety cannot be guaranteed by the production team. At this moment, no one is more excited than we are right here in the thick of it. The time for Saudi's challenge draws nearer, and frankly, the closer we get, the more my heart races uncontrollably…"

The reporter was saying this while forcefully squeezing through the crowd. The tower that Roland mentioned is the best lookout facility officials could find, "Excuse me, please make way, let through, you can see the crowd on the scene cannot be packed any further." The reporter's voice grew fainter until he was totally engulfed by the masses.

At another part of the lookout tower, Roland, Charlotte, and a very few others quietly waited for the countdown. This secret door is unknown even to one in tens of thousands locally, and information about it is mentioned in books dating back over a century. With the collapse of Mardis, this neglected lookout tower has fallen into complete disrepair, becoming nothing but a tower with strong structural integrity and no other noteworthiness.

Some of the Federation's super soldiers were also there, as well as Zana Raymond. His interest in the Revenge Shadow Rider had always been consistent. That guy was elusive, though, and catching a glimpse of his battle was truly not easy. Who is Raymond, to miss such a valuable battle?

The question now was whether Saudi indeed had someone capable of competing with the Revenge Shadow Rider. Even if they did, such a person should be preserved rather than risked in battle against the Revenge Shadow Rider so easily. A failure meant a high probability of death. Yet, no one had ever defeated the Revenge Shadow Rider, and until he is defeated, any theory claiming victory over him lacks credibility, including beings of the Soaring Sword Dragon's caliber. Perhaps they might have had a chance, even a great chance, against the Revenge Shadow Rider at one time, but as it turned out, the result was the same for anyone facing the Revenge Shadow Rider—defeat.

After a seemingly endless wait, the Saudi fighter finally descended from the sky; he was piloting a stark white Mecha... His arrival was very understated, hands on hips, showing a contemptuous stance towards you. So unassuming that no one expected the vociferous Saudi would make such a silent entrance rather than showing up with grandeur. Yet, it's this very lack of fanfare that creates an indescribable suppression.

Time-wise, it was rather early, several hours before the scheduled duel. In these hours, would the pilot's muscles relax sitting in the cockpit? Wouldn't it be better to spend this time warming up instead?

Taking another look at the white Mecha, its posture was rather odd, or should we say, casual? It seemed to not care about the battle at all, not taking the Revenge Shadow Rider seriously, landing softly from the void onto the ground and then standing motionless…

Kexiao's eyes narrowed slightly, he felt that this person—no, the aura of this mecha was somewhat off. Although it was just a subtle movement, Kexiao still vaguely sensed something strange, and it wasn't just him—everyone in Mardis could also feel such an atmosphere, not knowing if it was an illusion or something else.

The Saudi command center tried to establish communication once again, and Kexiao answered the call. An old man's voice came through, questioning him, "Kexiao, are you sure that the Revenge Shadow Rider will be able to leave Mardis alive."

"Not certain. I'm not even sure if the Revenge Shadow Rider will come. Frankly speaking, I don't want that guy to show up."

"Oh? Why?" the old man on the phone asked.

Kexiao replied, "I can't be certain of my judgment. All I know is that the Revenge Shadow Rider is undefeated. Before his defeat, any theory and confidence are baseless."

The old man on the other end of the call was silent for a moment and then laughed, "Heh, it seems you understand him quite well and have great confidence in yourself. The council has never doubted your judgment, but this time, Kexiao, you might fail."

Kexiao wasn't sure if his judgment was right or wrong but, at least, he didn't think he had made a mistake. He asked the old man, "Do you know the Revenge Shadow Rider's weakness?"

"Weakness?"

"Yes, every mobile warrior has a weakness. The Revenge Shadow Rider belongs to the strong offensive type, and in terms of offense alone, it's very hard to find anyone who surpasses him in this world. Fortunately, no one is perfect. If you ask me about weaknesses, in my view, the only weakness of the Revenge Shadow Rider is his defense, and every so-called counterattack when backed into a corner is nothing but a desperate counterstrike. From this, we can see how terrifying the Revenge Shadow Rider's attacks are, and also discover his weakness. His shortcoming is his defense, and it's only by magnifying the Shadow Rider's weaknesses that there's any chance to defeat him."

"Kexiao, I don't deny your judgment. Let's wait and see," the old man said.

There were still a few hours before the battle, and Feng Yi had no need to rush at the moment. However, right now, he simply could not escape the restraints of his body. It seemed that today he had to face the challenge head-on. He just hoped that the other side wouldn't resort to any insidious tactics because, in his current state, even if he could win against the opponent, he would probably have trouble dealing with other unknown crises.
