Branik stopped a few steps in front of Aveline. "There are quite a number of people here."
"A situation like this tends to draw attention," Aveline had ordered Darian to spread the word so that everyone would watch the match.
This way, it would be hard for him to use dirty tricks.
Branik shifted his gaze to a young man standing beside her.
'So, he is the one she was talking about.'
He didn't put Ren in his eyes.
After observing him, he believed they could handle Ren easily.
"Aveline, are you sure you want to take this path?" Branik's eyes briefly glanced at the villagers around them. "Losing in front of all your people isn't easy to bear, you know?"
A murmur spread through the crowd.
Before Aveline could respond, Garron snorted from behind Branik. "It's better to change your mind now. Otherwise, you will regret it later."
"Keep talking. Maybe you will win with words instead." Darian commented.
"Haha." Some of the villagers laughed.
