The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1142

Though he did not know about the grudge between Coby and Jared, Skylar assumed that his host and Jared had crossed paths before when Coby struck under the assumption that he, Skylar, was Jared from their first meeting.

Unbeknownst to Skylar, Coby did not actually have a grudge. Instead, Coby's intention to duel with Jared was just to stroke his ego.

Skylar hurriedly set his coffee down and stood up when Coby appeared in the hall.
