The crowd dispersed, some leaving to go to their daily work, some to get paid for what they had bet on. The guards also began sending people away so that they could resume traffic through this section of the city once again.
Alex was surprised there was nothing more happening afterward and decided to leave as well.

"Where were you? I was about to message you," she said.
"I was on my way. There was an alchemy duel on the way so I stopped by to watch. The entire city was there," Alex said.
"Alchemy duel? The entire city went to watch it?" Fang Yuxie asked.
"Yes."
"What was at stake? What was the bet? Or was this just a simple duel?" she asked.
