At the beginning of the competition, the weaker families would go first as a warm-up. Usually, the bets on them weren't very big.
Both sides were pretty civilized. As soon as one party realized that they had no chance of winning, they would admit defeat.
As such, the competition went on round after round. As different families joined, the bets grew bigger and bigger. From a house that cost several millions, it soon increased to businesses that cost several billion.
Meanwhile, the matches also gradually became more intense. Blood and injuries were no longer a rarity.
Of course, the injuries were not too serious. They were mostly just flesh wounds. With some recuperation, the injured martial artists could easily recover.
Finally, as the battle got more and more intense, the three families, Walton, Hogwart, and Blythe, began to enter. In an instant, the competition reached its climax.
The Blythe family also sent multiple representatives to battle.
After five matches, the Blythe family had only won once against the Hogwart family. They lost twice to both the Hogwart and Walton families respectively. As a result, they lost more than ten billion in bets.
"Do you want me to take over?" Fade could not help but ask.
Before Alden could speak, Rosetti responded, "We're just getting warmed up. The real show is yet to start."
Alden nodded and said to Fade, "Each representative can only go on once. Thus, we have to save a professional like you for the very end."
The competition continued. The smaller families were mostly done now, and only the three bigger families were left.
Moreover, as the stakes increased, the competition became more and more intense.
The Hogwart and Walton families could be said to be evenly matched. They both won and lost multiple times to each other, but the Blythe family was relatively weak, losing in most rounds. That meant that they were losing a lot in bets as well.
Some of the smaller families were gossiping about the situation.
They claimed that the strength of the Blythe family had dropped. They were no longer on the same level as the Hogwart and Walton families.
In this regard, Rosetti was very calm. He did not have any reactions and continued to remain calm and composed.
Finally, all the rounds were drawing to an end. Just as Fade was wondering when he was supposed to go in, the gray-haired priest from before suddenly made another appearance.
This time, he did not make a long speech. Instead, he went straight to the point, "The final match is no longer one-on-one. Instead, it will be a scuffle of multiple contestants. The final victor will receive the right to work with the Sacred Hall for the next three years."
As soon as he said this, the crowd grew lively.
Rosetti, who had been calm all this while, looked back at Fade with a twinkle in his eyes, and he called out, "Mr. Chen!"
Fade responded, "It's my time to shine."
Rosetti nodded and said, "This match is of great importance. I hope you will be able to win for the Blythe family. We will be forever grateful to you."
At this moment, Aiden looked at Fade with a serious expression and said, "Mr. Chen, this competition is a group fight, but our main opponents are the Hogwart and the Walton families. The Hogwart family will probably send out Mad Bull Battier, but I'm not sure who the Walton family will pick."
Fade nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will win."
After that, he got up and went out.
At the same time, the contestants from the other families also entered the field.
