บท 576: COMPETE FAIRLY

When the long-awaited day of the Triennial Championships came, everyone on the island was excited. But the opening was not set until the evening. Still, most of the people on the island, from the visitors to the residents, and even the competitors were buzzing with activity. 

Moreover, the structure of the tournament was announced in the morning, allowing for people to place their bets. 

The gambling houses on the island felt like they were on top of the world. Not only were they able to receive bets from the locals on Martial Island, but they were also getting money from external members of the island who could only watch the matches on an exclusive streaming platform. 

Unfortunately, none of the residents, competitors, guests and gambling bosses knew that their excitement would amount to nothing. 

Behind the scenes, a troubling scheme was brewing. And it would mean the end of the beautiful dream they had of glorious martial battles.
