Chương 183: True victory!

The arena fell into stunned silence as Damien's words echoed through the air. The crowd couldn't believe what they had just heard. Viper, still in Damien's grasp, stared at him with a mixture of confusion and ridicule.

"What did you say?" she demanded, her voice laced with disbelief.

"I said I give up," Damien repeated. "As you said, there are indeed more things I can gain by training here rather than wasting the golden opportunity. The Grandmaster could teach me skills that I can't learn anywhere else."

"And that's all the reason?" She raised an eyebrow, knowing him very well, she knew there must be something else he was hiding.

He smiled sheepishly and looked back at Lucy. Viper's eyes traced his eyes and saw Lucy shivering and hiding behind the crowd.

"Oh?" She smiled malevolently. "In fact, I'll also train you in using blades, how about that?"

"That'll be great," Damien said, grinning.
