Ember and Astaria.

"Make sure to advertise this battle as much as you can, alright? Even though no one would be able to watch it, I still need some rumors so that I can push my clan's reputation. I will leave that to you, okay?"

*Bam*

"THAT BASTARD!!"

Recalling what Nux said before he left, Vindan punched the table in front of him in rage, breaking it into pieces.

"He is too arrogant."

Xavien spoke with a solemn look on his face.

"Are we… really going to advertise this Challenge?" Aiden questioned with an unsure look on his face.

This pattern…

It was way too familiar.

Nux first tempted Graner to challenge him, then he manipulated Graner into advertising his battle, which he did and gathered a huge crowd, and in front of that huge crowd… Graner was defeated.

What made it more humiliating was the Graner was the one who did everything. It was as if he excitedly prepared a coffin for his own death.
