An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2184

"Luring him in?" Miles's stomach sank a beat at the words.

He stared at the third battle ring, feeling a bit uneasy. "Dustin, are you serious? I've got a lot riding on this."

"You bet on Number 28, right?" Dustin asked.

Miles nodded. "Yeah, why?"

Dustin explained, "Well, Number 28 does have some skill, but he's being too aggressive.

"At first glance, it seems he's dominating and pushing his opponent back. But if you pay attention, you'll notice his opponent's composed movements and steady breathing.

"There's no hint of panic. It's like his opponent has been prepared for this. So, I'm guessing he's luring Number 28 by deliberately showing weakness.

"And when Number 28 lets his guard down, that's the moment he'll strike."

"Are you sure?" Miles was dubious. He narrowed his eyes as he carefully observed the battle, and his expression immediately changed.

To his surprise, the battle matched Dustin's description perfectly.

Despite Number 28's relentless attacks, he hadn't gained any significant ground. His continuous assaults had drained a considerable amount of his stamina and left him vulnerable.

If he continued to attack recklessly, he would eventually wear himself out and likely end up losing.

Miles cursed, "Damn it! What is this guy thinking? Doesn't he know that it's a trap? He just attacked without a plan. This is really getting on my nerves!"

He was frustrated after uncovering the truth. After all, his prized pendant was worth a fortune. He was so confident in Number 28 that he placed such a bold bet.

If Miles lost, not only would he lose the pendant, but he would also lose his credibility. After all, he encouraged others to join in on the bet.

"Miles, Number 28 won't lose, right? I've bet a bottle of haemoplenish on him." Ruby also seemed pretty tense.
