Chapter 70 Marry Trap

Dora pulled up the recording of Cassian’s first-round match against Gale Squad and studied it repeatedly. The longer she watched, the more pronounced the cold smile on her lips became.

“They’ve got all that swagger with a Level 5 fire ability, but their actual fighting is a complete disaster.”

She pointed at several obvious mistakes on the light screen. “See this? He had a perfect chance to work with his teammates for a pincer move, but instead, he got greedy and charged ahead on his own. Almost got himself killed

“Right here. His teammate needed backup, but he was so focused on the enemy right in front of him that he forgot about the rest of the team. No chemistry at all.

“And look at this part. No reason whatsoever to blow his ultimate. He just burned a huge amount of crystal energy on attacks that did nothing. Honestly, it’s pretty clear they’ve got almost no real combat experience. They’re just brute-forcing everything with their ability levels.”

“If we end up going against them in the finals…” A sharp glint flickered in Dora’s eyes before she turned to Elmer. “How would you like the chance to personally teach your dear brother a lesson?”

Elmer’s eyes flew wide open, his heart lurching in his chest. Then a fierce blaze ignited in his gaze, and he gave a firm nod. I’d love that!”

Dora smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “Good. Then let’s get ready. Cassian and his team are probably itching to pick a fight with us anyway. Perfect timing. We can settle all our scores at once.”

She lifted her head and looked across the arena to where Cassian’s team was undergoing their final adjustments, having seemingly regained their old swagger. A cold light gleamed in her eyes.

She truly couldn’t wait to see the look on Cassian’s face when he was defeated by the younger brother he had always despised.

After several rounds of fierce competition, the atmosphere around the enormous finals platform had reached a boiling point.

The stands were completely packed, and every spectator’s gaze was locked onto the two teams about to step onto the final stage.

On one side stood Dora’s team, who had stormed through their matches with adaptable tactics and superb form.

On the other side loomed Cassian’s team, who had held the top position from the very beginning, backed by their influential family and radiating unstoppable momentum.

The destined showdown had finally arrived.

Inside the brief rest area before the finals, the two teams sat separated by an invisible energy barrier, each making their final adjustments and preparations.

From across the arena, Cassian studied the members of Dora’s team,

There was the dark-haired male who never seemed to leave Dora’s side. His presence carried a sinister edge, yet it was undeniably commanding.

The cat, now a full size larger and noticeably more muscular, lounged with an air of lazy menace.

Even Elmer, his useless excuse for a younger brother, had bright, steady eyes.

And Mindy’s three beast mates all looked sharp and full of energy as well.

A nagging sense of unease tightened in Cassian’s chest.

Instead of showing the kind of exhaustion one would expect after a full day of fighting, everyone on Dora’s team looked completely revitalized with crystal energy that seemed far from depleted.

He couldn’t help but wonder, ‘How do they still have this much crystal energy left?’

Regina, her Spatial Realm at Level 5, had poured nearly everything she had gathered from the Spatial Realm into supporting him for this tournament, and after just one day of his own consumption, her reserves were already scraping bottom.

He himself, as the team’s primary attacker, had burned through an enormous amount of energy. He could still put up a strong front, but his internal en

reserves were running dangerously low.

The rest of his team

Chapter 70 Marry Trau

Isn’t Dora’s Spatial Realm supposed to be useless? Cassian thought to himself.

And even if those three male’s really are all her beast mates, there’s no way she has the means to keep them this well-fed -on crystal energy food. They have to be faking it. Just putting on a show of strength.

He shoved down the doubt and unease that had been gnawing at him, latching onto a reassuring explanation.

‘Once the finals start and the pressure is on, they’ll crumble soon enough, he mused.

But that didn’t change the fact that his own crystal energy supply was running dangerously low.

The final match was guaranteed to be a grueling fight, and the moment his reserves gave out, his feam’s combat power would take a nosedive.

So how was he supposed to solve his crystal energy shortage?

An idea quickly took shape in his mind, growing clearer by the second: he needed to complete the marriage bond with Iris immediately.

If he went through with it right now, then at least in theory, he would have every right to consume the food from Iris’ Spatial Realm to replenish his crystal energy.

The effect would certainly be nothing compared to what Regina’s Level-5 output could provide, but it was better than fighting on empty.

And with Regina in the audience watching, there was no reason the Shawn family couldn’t use their connections and resources to fast-track the preliminary registration and binding of a marriage match before the finals even started.

As long as the paperwork went through and the system recognized the bond, he would gain immediate access to his spouse’s crystal energy food.

The thought made his heart pound.

But that wasn’t even the best part. Proposing to Iris right here in front of the entire crowd, especially with Dora watching, was a brilliant strategy that would accomplish three things at once.

First, it would be a devastating blow to Dora.

She had spent all that time chasing him, throwing herself at the golden boy who was forever out of her reach, and now he would be down on one knee before her sister with everyone looking on.

Dora, meanwhile, could only surround herself with a bunch of random males from God knows where.

Nothing would humiliate her more or hit her harder than that, and if it rattled her enough to throw off her game in the finals, so much the better.

Second, he would secure a tangible supply of crystal energy, which would give him a real edge in the battle ahead.

Third, it would further cement his ties to the Southwell family and strengthen his position overall.

It was absolutely perfect.

The more Cassian turned it over in his mind, the more convinced he became that this was the right move.
