Chapter 86: The tournament (10)

Priya's gaze locked onto Erik, her eyes burning with resentment. She still remembered vividly how Erik had publicly embarrassed her, especially in front of a person she admired. That memory fueled her anger and determination.

Learning that Erik was her opponent in the tournament ignited a fire within her. This was more than just a competition for her; it was a chance for retribution.

The opportunity to join the Red Palace was significant, yet it paled compared to her burning desire to see Erik defeated and humiliated.

Despite her confidence in her abilities, Priya was unaware of Erik's recent victory over Zakir. She had paid no attention to his previous matches and thus did not know the extent of his capabilities.

Instead, Erik assumed that for this girl to reach this round, she had to be strong, but he decided to check whether that was true.
