Not only was Florian not thankful at all after hearing that but absolutely furious as well. He felt like Guardio was looking down on him by saying that. What could he even amount to if he could not even deal with riff-raff from third-grade worlds? Guardio was doubting his skills by saying that.
Florian scoffed and said, "They're trying to trick me? Do you think they can? Even if it is a trap, it will be broken through in front of absolute skill. None of them is a match for me. On top of that, I won't be bringing any fewer men than they have with me. Only torture awaits them. They'll be slaughtered like nothing!"
As he said that, Florian was incredibly prideful. It was as if no one was a match for him at all. When Guardio heard that, his lips twitched helplessly. He still had a lot to say, but it was obvious that Florian would not listen.
Florian wanted to walk into a death trap. His own biases made him look down on third-grade world warriors, and made him feel like those warriors could do nothing to him. That was why he was so prideful. Guardio knew very well that it would be hard to change those thoughts.
However, he was forced to deal with their current situation. If Florian actually dies in a trap, then their slaughter alliance would have lost a key general. The situation would be even worse. Even after he had said so much earlier, the other two did not listen at all. It made Guardio frustrated and exasperated.
Guardio took a deep breath before he placed his hand on Florian's shoulder, saying seriously, "I know you have the ability to deal with any problems, and I know you're not that much weaker than I am, but even if I was the one going, I'd still be incredibly careful.
"Looking down on your opponents can destroy all your plans, don't you know that? Even if those warriors from third-grade worlds aren't as strong as us as a whole, you still can't ignore them and feel like you're invincible!"
As he said that, he was interrupted by Florian, "I know what you want to say. You want me to regard them with caution, but I can't do that. That would be an insult to ourselves. I've interacted with quite a few warriors from third-grade worlds after entering the Whirling World.
"Not a single one of them was a
match for me. They come from places with no resources. There's no way they can compete with us at all. I just need to point my finger, and they'll be so scared that they start shaking. If I need to regard these people highly, then what's the point of me learning how to fight?"

Florian seemed incredibly firm with what he said it was as if anything else Guardio said would be an insult to him. Guardio's lips twitched in exasperation. He was so angry he did not know what else to say. Florian's words seemed reasonable, but he was actually just forcing out excuses.
He was making excuses for his pride. In the end, he was just arrogant. He could not look at things calmly. The matter was incredibly important, and Guardio did not want any mistakes. Yet, those two did not seem to have the same attitude. Guardio could not stop himself from getting angry.
"Even if you're right, can't you think about it? Are all of them really trash? Is there not a single one of them that could be stronger than you? As long as there's just one, then you might never come back. I'm just concerned for you as well as the bigger picture. Can you not be stubborn? This is not somewhere you can do anything you want."

Right as he said that, Florian's expression changed. Florian frowned as he looked at Guardio angrily. The tension between them was incredibly thick. Jake saw that the situation was bad and immediately stood between the two of them, trying to diffuse the situation.
