"Yes, that's why I placed a bet on a victory within 500 moves, the odds were much higher than betting on the outcome directly."
"What's there not to say! I've personally witnessed Marikas's matches before; his Sword Intention is extremely formidable, practically ending battles within a few strokes, never giving his opponent a chance to drag out the fight. Being an Air Skill Master is a cloth-armor profession, can their flesh and blood withstand Sword Air? Trust me, go all-in on Marikas!"

Leonard Churchill listened to the analysis of the audience near the arena with a slightly lost gaze, seemingly deep in thought.
Most people thought it would be a protracted battle, or they believed Barre Shepherd would lose.
After all, from the betting manual, Barre Shepherd's performance wasn't as prominent compared to others.
Only Leonard Churchill and his group firmly believed that Barre Shepherd would win.
And so did the organizers.
This was a match deliberately set for an upset.
