The Author's POV

Chapter 528

Inside the tunnel leading to the arena, a soft and groggy voice echoed.

"Are you ready?"

The voice came from SilverMoon, who was checking on me.

Her face had become quite sunken since the last time I had seen her, and she also didn't seem to be in the right state of mind. She was clearly still unable to cope with the loss of SilverStar.

She was essentially a dead woman walking.

The only reason she was here was to see my fight against Edward. The man that took her husband's life.

As I stepped away from her, I could hear the crowd's loud cheers behind me.

Without turning around, I replied.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will win the fight."

I wasn't lying about this.

I wasn't going to lose the fight.

In the wake of my meeting with Edward, it was now my turn to face him. There was already a palpable excitement in the crowd's cheers, which were getting louder by the minute.

The atmosphere around me was boiling.

In the meantime, SilverMoon, who was standing beside me, also sensed the weird atmosphere and took a step back.

"Okay. I've already helped you the best way I could. I hope you can keep your promise."

"You can count on that."

It was at that moment.

Clank—

The gates of the arena started to slowly open up revealing the vast arena in the distance. The crowd cheers intensified, and my shoulders relaxed.

'Here goes nothing.'

Taking a deep breath, I took a step into the arena.

'I don't know how to feel about this…'

Despite the passive face he wore, Edward's thoughts were complicated as he stood in the middle of the arena.

Having spoken with him yesterday, he understood what the outcome of today's match would be.

His inevitable loss.

But there were two problems with this.

One, he had to lose believably. Everything they had been working on would go up in smoke if he lost in an obvious manner.

But for this part, he wasn't too worried.

'Considering his strength, he does indeed have a chance of beating me. Especially if he has that device…'

His eyes paused on the bracelet in his hand. Ren would have an easier time winning if he had a device to turn off his suppressor.
