The moment the man materialized before everyone, a swift and obvious transformation swept across their faces. Gone were the expressions of curiosity, anticipation, and mild amusement, Now it was entirely replaced by looks of disgust.
The change in their demeanor did not go unnoticed by Dhruv, who swiftly picked up on it. Looking at the change he couldn't help but think to himself,
'So, he had a notorious reputation among the others too. Works in my favor, hehe hehe!' DHruv chuckled inwardly.
Dhruv turned to Vexar and instructed him to initiate the battle. To add an element of excitement for everyone present, Dhruv had equipped Tom with a gun as well.
"Let the battle commence," Dhruv declared, signaling the beginning of the fight...
As the sound echoed through the surroundings, Tom realized he had no more options but to partake in this duel. Begging wasn't an option either, as he had already attempted it without success.
