An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

Chapter 1197

Upon Ronald's command, a waiver was brought forth. Both he and Dustin signed their names on it without a word.

A duel in the arena had always been a grave affair of life and death. However, unless there was a deep-seated enmity, the victor would normally show mercy.

That was the unspoken code of conduct.

However, by signing the waiver, that unspoken code would become void. There would be no room for mercy and no option for surrender. All that lay ahead was a ruthless battle for survival.

It was either live or die. No third alternative existed.

"Dustin, this is the most foolish thing you've done in your entire life." After signing the contract, Ronald's entire demeanor shifted.

Instead of his previous grace, he now exuded an imposing might. A tremendous force seemed to emanate from him, enveloping the entire arena.

Following that, the martial artists in the audience felt a sudden heaviness. It was as if an invisible boulder was pressing down on their shoulders.
