Nicholas continued, "I have here a fang from a General-level Demon Beast, which is part of my personal collection. I would like to propose a small wagering game with Miss Cadena, betting on who will win. Miss Cadena, would you be interested in this?"
"If I win, I will gift the winnings to the contestant from my Federation as a token of gratitude for his contributions to the Federation."
Cadena feigned hesitation for a moment, "That's a good proposal; I was also thinking about doing something for the contestant from my Federation."
"Well then, I don't carry many valuable items with me, just a Refining Stone that possesses the Fiery Flame Attribute. It will accompany Mr. Nicholas in this bout of elegance."
"That's wonderful, I thank Miss Cadena for her generous gift."
"No, it is I who should thank you."
At this point, the interaction between the two began to take on a somewhat combative tone.
