Liens stared at the scene before him with a look of utter astonishment, as if trying to express the shock in his heart.
The act for Alger was over, but the act for the others still needed a conclusion.
Life is like a play, entirely dependent on acting.
"I… I won?" Liens asked, stunned.
His tone carried doubt and a hint of pleasant surprise, as if he hadn't expected to win, and certainly not in this manner.
The guard beside them was also startled by the sudden turn of events.
So, upon hearing Liens's voice, he finally realized what he should do.
"Left wins, right loses."
The guard announced the result loudly.
And Ben, who had been waiting outside the arena, quickly walked to Liens's side.
Compared to before, Ben had some new injuries, but none were as deep as the one on his left arm that reached the bone, so he seemed to be fine.
Ben patted Liens's shoulder with his right hand, using this method to bring Liens back to his senses.
