An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

XdwAlicia, who rarely ventured outside, had only heard about betting rings without ever stepping into one. Seeing one today at the tournament was a new experience. With her curious nature, she couldn’t resist diving into the excitement.

“She still can’t change her reckless personality.” Fenley shook his head in exasperation and followed closely behind.

Since the incident involving Brian, Fenley had become the personal bodyguard for the Marshall sisters. He was constantly vigilant about their safety now.

Abigail, the Grand Sorceress of the Mystic Arts Order, actively promoted her business and shouted enthusiastically, “Come on, everyone! Place your bets and pick your favorites!

“No risk of getting ripped off here-bet as much as you want, win or lose fair and square! Our reputation speaks for itself!”

She oversaw the VIP section where rare treasures could be exchanged for celestial stones used in gambling.

They started by appraising the treasures bettors brought and exchanging them for celestial stones. Bettors then used these stones for their bets. If they lost, that was it. But if they won, they could reclaim their treasures.

“Hey, Sir! Bringing friends along today? Please, have a seat,” Abigail greeted warmly. Her keen eyes noticed Dustin and his friends approaching and promptly arranged seats.

Noticing their distinguished attire and demeanor, she figured they were no ordinary guests and deserved the utmost respect as VIP clients.

“Your business is thriving,” Dustin remarked with a smile.

In just a few days, what was once a small operation has blossomed into a full-fledged betting ring with separate areas for regular patrons and VIPs. The expansion has been almost tenfold in size since then.

With the Combat Tournament at Sacred Wyrm Summit, it was clear to him that Abigail was the undeniable winner.
