"My lord! There's movement out at sea! A warship is approaching!" Floch rushed into the tent as he spoke.
Chen Si slowly rose and addressed Yelena. "All right, I understand everything you've told me."
Yelena hurried to her feet as well and told Chen Si, "The Warrior Commander said Roald is an extremely dangerous man. You mustn't underestimate him."
"Oh? Really? Then who's stronger, him or Zeke?" Chen Si asked.
Chen Si thought back to Eren's earlier battle against the Jaw Titan after transforming into the Founding Titan and weighed their strength. Eren had only possessed that kind of power as the Founding Titan because Hallucigenia had possessed him. A possessed Jaw Titan wasn't something Chen Si was particularly concerned about. Even Eren's Founding Titan was no match for him.
"Uh... well..." Yelena recalled what Zeke had said. It seemed even Zeke was no match for Roald, but as Zeke's fanatical follower, she didn't want Chen Si to think less of him. She made up her mind. "He's probably about as strong as the Warrior Commander, but at long range, Roald would be no match for him."
"Then there's nothing to worry about." Hearing that, Chen Si felt a weight lift from his mind. Even before his system had upgraded, back when he couldn't transform into a Titan, Zeke had already been a little monkey he could thrash however he pleased. If Roald was only about as strong as Zeke, he would probably be no more than an ant before Chen Si now.
Chen Si walked straight out of the tent.
If Zeke had known that Yelena's boasting on his behalf had caused Chen Si to underestimate his opponent, he would have wanted to kill her.
