Challenge for Old Market (Overlord's Grant)

[Hailey Winters]

Just after the conclusion of the FireStar challenge, Hailey goes over to the arena corkboard and tacks on a note.

"Matt Simon, I'm a fan of your work. You're a legend in these parts, I've even been trying to learn one of your moves. I wanna keep challenging myself against the greatest, and they really don't get greater than you. So, this is me calling my shot. Matt, I'm using the Overlord's Grant to challenge you for Old Market. Seeya soon.

~Hailey Winters"
