Outside the stage, everyone swallowed their saliva due to the sudden change of events.
For many, it didn't bring much shock, but to some others, it was a huge shock.
They saw that Alex spoke some words causing Mark's expression to distort and pause the battle after which Alex made a sword and emanated his aura which made the screen become blurry for a moment.
Sean, who was observing the match, clenched the armpits of his chairs tightly while gritting his teeth.
Seeing a cunning smile on Alex's lips and Mark's expression, he was sure that Alex might have got a hint about his involvement.
Alex hadn't declared his intentions nor his father had made any claims to take him back but he didn't want any more variables.
His battle with Hex was already too taxing and he didn't want Alex to either run for the crown or lend others a hand.
To keep him down, he needed someone to crush him here on the big stage.
