Bart waited for the thunderous cheers to die down before speaking again:
"Everyone, I'm sure all of you are excited for the championship stage to start so I shall hand things over to the one who will explain the rules. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Valenzia City's City Lord, Blas Alinsky."
A sharp-looking middle-aged man who donned a long black robe with a golden dragon print at the back slowly ascended the stage with a dignified aura, charisma oozing out of every pore in his body.
Beside him was a young man who seemed to be one of his close aides.
Upon arriving onstage, the middle-aged man faced the crowd and gracefully bowed before opening his mouth to speak.
"Everyone, just as host Bart said, I am Valenzia's city lord, the one who is spearheading the proceedings of this tournament."
