Zeke knew about Windchaser and his fame, so he didn't dare to relax one bit. He had been watching Windchaser's every move the moment he got on stage.
Immediately after, he unsheathed his sword and swung it around in a seemingly casual way. But in reality, he was slowly unleashing his sword's power to suppress Windchaser's air.
A loud cheer erupted from the crowd. The solemn expressions on Zach's and the other's faces had softened a little in the sight of this.
Zeke's performance gave them some confidence back. They could only hope that Zeke was able to defeat Windchaser.
Windchaser was unaffected by the crowd's cheers and Zeke's showcase of power at all. Instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
He tilted his head up and looked down at his opponent haughtily. Disdain gleamed in his eyes. He had completely disregarded Zeke.
Yolanda wasn't surprised by Windchaser's response. Other than when he had met a formidable opponent, he would always portray an arrogant look and would look down on everyone else.
"Zeke is skillful indeed!" Viktor was a little excited. "No wonder Mr. Wright was willing to pay 100 million dollars to hire him."
"100 million dollars for one competition. If he loses, it would either end up with him being severely injured, or worse, dead. Was it worth it?" Yolanda thought aloud.
Some might envy Zeke for being able to participate in a competition and earn an amount of money that ordinary people, no matter how much they worked, would never see in their lifetime. However, he knew the risks involved.
Yolanda looked at the duo on stage and since the defeat was inevitable, it didn't spark her interest.
"He must have thought that it was worth it."
Viktor didn't quite understand what Yolanda had said, but he still tried his best to introduce the Creybia guests to Yolanda.
"Did you see the group of people on the other side of the hall? The middle young man is Boris Caldwell, who is known as Mr. Caldwell. Those who are around him are mostly from Creybia as well.
"Since the children of Creybia's old-money families are here, the officials had sent an impressive setup of people over to protect them due to their unique identities."
Yolanda looked at where Viktor was pointing and realized that Jean had already returned to Boris' side. However, she was still as fervent as ever with her fangirling.
Just as Yolanda was giving Boris a once over, Judas, a young man in a grey color suit, felt her gaze and looked back at her.
