The atmosphere in the stadium was electric as the tournament neared its climax. Whispers filled the arena as word spread of Dabi's remarkable performances and his resilience against the noble families' interference. Yet, amid the admiration, there was also tension—many in the crowd were aware that powerful forces sought to stop him.
In the VIP section, the members of the Vantore family sat in silence, their expressions tense. They had tried everything in their power to defeat Dabi, but he had triumphed each time. Now, Reniel Vantore was out of patience. As he conferred with members of the Gavriel and Hadrian families, his frustration grew.
"We can't let him win this tournament," Reniel muttered to Marius Hadrian, his voice tight with irritation. "He's a commoner, and if he takes the top spot, it will embarrass every one of us."
