An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

"Get those bets in, quick! Trust me, put your bet on Number 13, Brandon Swift!"

"Hey guys, it's time to hit the jackpot! Don't miss this golden opportunity!"

"Hey, does anyone have treasures to spare? I'll pay you back with interest once I win those celestial stones!"

The gamblers clamored. They jostled forward and were eager to place their bets. Anything valuable was thrown into the betting table without a second thought.

Soon, the atmosphere crackled with excitement.

This round was like hitting the jackpot for the gamblers, so doubling down was a no-brainer.

"Hey, make some room! We're here first, so let us get our bets in!"

As the crowd of gamblers grew denser, chaos broke out.

Miles and Ruby were momentarily taken aback and surrounded by eager gamblers. The duo had to push through the crowd to get to the betting table.

After all, opportunities like this only came once. Plus, with only a few minutes remaining until the start of the fifth round, they couldn't afford to miss out.

It would mean a significant loss for them if they failed to place their bets before the betting pool closed. Thus, they disregarded decorum and pushed forward relentlessly.

"Don't fret, guys. There's plenty of time for everyone. Let's maintain order and take turns."

"We've got plenty of time. Everyone will get their shot at placing a bet."

"Hey, you in the purple! Quit climbing on someone's back! Get down from there!"
