THE moment he was announced as the winner, Xia Lei instantly appeared inside the floating pavilion. At the same time, the Duke of Hearts flew down on the rink to do his usual commentary.
"Is it just this lord or was that fight really just went by in a flash?" he asked. One didn't know if he was being condescending or if he was really amazed. "It seems that the number one bet to win is finally showing us the reason why he's the number one."
The crowd cheered as if agreeing.
Xia Lei, who was drinking a high-grade potion, almost choked because of what the duke said. Did he really have to mention that bet? It's one of the reasons why he was being so hardheaded in simply using his sword skills in these fights. Because he knew most of those who bet for him only did so because he was a dragon.
