"He started the fight. Why do you care? Just leave me alone." Clifford retorted as he continued on his way out. However, before he reached the exit, he heard an interesting offer.

"A thousand points, how about that? Do you accept?" Vlad offered, determined to beat Clifford for what he had done.

"I will accept under two conditions: no surrendering and an all-out fight. What do you say?" Clifford challenged, hoping to push his physical limits.

"That applies to you as well, right? If so, I gladly accept," Vlad responded, concerned about the fairness of the terms.
