Inside the VIP section throughout the entire duel, not a single soul dared to move an inch. The air was thick with tension, the kind that could crush someone weaker under its weight.
The only sound that occasionally broke through the silence was the soft, amused laughter of Alyssa Vega.
As the duel finally ended, silence settled even deeper. No one spoke. No one moved.
Alyssa stood up gracefully, brushing back her hair with that same smug, composed expression.
"So now," she said with a smirk, "all of you combined—including His Majesty—owe me one billion credits. Remember to pay on time."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked out of the VIP section, her steps echoing like thunder in the stillness she left behind.
Even after she left, no one dared to speak.
Then, Marquis Liam Starlight suddenly broke the tension with a loud laugh.
"Hahaha! I'm really glad I didn't bring my wife to watch this duel with me!"
