“Number 19?” Alicia looked at Dustin with a puzzled expression. “Dr. Rhys, why do you think he can win?”

Aurora commented, “Number 5 is the ascetic priest. Even though they’re evenly matched, he seems almost unbeatable. Number 19 may be the successor of Shadow Citadel, but he seems inexperienced. In every aspect, he’s clearly no match for Number 5.”

Despite Dalen’s handsome appearance, he paled in comparison to Thaddeus in strength. They couldn’t understand why Dustin’s opinion differed so much from theirs.

“I know Number 19. Despite his gentle appearance, he’s quite skilled. He shouldn’t have much trouble defeating that ascetic priest,” Dustin replied casually.

“Really?” Alicia raised an eyebrow in surprise. She hadn’t anticipated Dustin knowing Dalen, let alone being so confident in his assessment.

“In that case, let’s bet on him,” she decided without hesitation.

“Dr. Rhys has a lot of faith in Number 19, so he must be strong. Let’s bet on him.” Aurora quickly understood Alicia’s intent and voiced her support.
