Time ticked by slowly, and the audience around the stage was starting to get restless.
"What's happening? Are they still fighting or not?"
"Exactly, it's been over ten minutes already. What the heck is the organizer doing?"
"Isn't it just about announcing the final match between Edson and Lu Xiao? How hard can that be?"
"It's not about the announcement being hard; it's that the Superpower Alliance can't figure out what Lu Xiao is up to, betting two billion US Dollars on himself—who does that?"
"You've got a point. Even though Lu Xiao is unlikely to beat Mr. Edson, but... what if he does, right? That would mean paying out over two hundred billion US Dollars. The entire Superpower Alliance might go bankrupt."
Must admit, there were some clever folks among the crowd who quickly understood why the Superpower Alliance was troubled.
Anybody would struggle with this; anyone would hesitate.
After all, however slim, a possibility is still a possibility.
