"Welcome, everyone!"
A young man shouted to the crowd gathered around him.
"Today, we're going to witness the most spectacular match ever! Are you all excited?"
"Wooah! Let the match begin!" the commoners in the crowd shouted enthusiastically.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I already know your answer," the man said with a slight smirk. "But before that, I have an announcement to make."
The crowd immediately quieted down.
"For this match, we're opening a betting session!"
"A betting session?"
Everyone, including the nobles, was surprised by the announcement.
"That's right, betting!" The man swept his gaze across the crowd. "You can make a fortune by placing bets on either of the contestants. What do you think? Are you all interested?"
The crowd went quiet, though many were already clenching their fists in excitement.
Betting was something people from all walks of life enjoyed. The chance to win big money lit a spark in their hearts.
"I'm in!" a man shouted.
