While the two gate masters were plotting to ruin his life, Kent arrived at Saintess Neomi's house with Ingrid, who was pestering him to explain why he couldn't be a normal human and ignore things.
He could have walked away when Randy challenged him, yet he never did. Instead, he went ahead and sweetened the pot by offering a rather arrogant stake.
"Have you ever lost a battle before?" Ingrid asked as they arrived.
"Why do you ask?" Kent responded with his own question.
"I just don't understand why you chose to patronize Randy instead of just walking away," Ingrid said, looking at Kent.
Kent just smiled. "I enjoy chaos, so why not cause some while in the Spear Gate? The last time I checked, an Inner Disciple has no business fighting a Core Disciple. So imagine the chaos that will ensue when I wipe the floor with him."
