In the spacious private dining room of the restaurant, Tobias Singleton raised his glass.
"Let's all toast to Mr. Flores's triumph in tomorrow's battle, wishing him a victorious start!"
Everyone's expression was subtly complex. Was it appropriate to speak so directly?
Of course, we hoped for Carson Flores to win, but as an elder of the Nine Peaks Sect, isn't it a bit too direct to say such things?
Is there discord between the Nine Peaks Sect and the Divine Cloudy Sect?
Tobias Singleton noticed the looks on everyone's faces and laughed, saying, "The Divine Cloudy Sect has always been domineering, and many dislike them. The Acevedo Family is known to be their lackey. Today, when Nash Acevedo made his move, it was clear he was vying for face on behalf of the Divine Cloudy Sect. If Mr. Flores can teach Nash Acevedo a lesson, I'm sure there will be many who'll applaud."
