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.

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!”

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