The broadcast team understood that discussions about bets needed to be kept away from the public.
Consequently, the live editor removed the segment where Shye challenged Van to a wager and filled it with a few product commercials while the two young heroes continued their conversation.
The advertisements only irritated the broadcast viewers, leading them to dislike the promoted products instead of appreciating them.
However, this decision proved to be wise, as many quickly realized they had underestimated Shye's appetite.
It would have sparked controversy if the public had heard about such outrageous bets among heroes.
"Hmph, fine," Van replied decisively, pulling out the agreed-upon amount along with some extra gold coins and tossing it onto the ground outside the blue dome.
