Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance.
"Dr. Rhys! Good luck!" "Defeat Glenn and make a nfor yourself!” Alicia and Aurora jumped to their feet and cheered for Dustin as he stepped into the ring.
Whether for personal reasons or out of loyalty, they both supported him. When Glenn defeated Fenley, it had been a major blow to the Celestial Alliance's pride. If Dustin could win this match, it would be a small victory for them.
"The outcis in your hands now," Grace murmured. Her voice was laced with worry.
If Dustin were up against anyone else, she wouldn't be this anxious. But facing Glenn was a different story.

Beside her, Dalen shared the suncertainty. Despite knowing the truth about Dustin's identity, he still couldn't decide whether Dustin was stronger or if Glenn had the advantage. All he could do was watch and wait for the outcome.
"Mr. Hadley, Mr. Marshall, Sage Foyer -what do you say we makeca bet on who'll take the championship?" Penelope spoke up suddenly.
"Oh? Madam Penelope, you're getting in on this too?" Alloy raised an eyebrow.
"Well, since I've got nothing better to do, why not? A bet on thechampionship could spice things up." She chuckled dryly.
She proposed it because she noticed Abigail winked at her from afar. Her а granddaughter had set up the betting pool and planned to make a profit. Penelope figured she might as well lend a hand.
