Dahlia kept staring at the other seven competitors. Her stance never wavered even once.
The seven shifted uneasily, but their smirks stayed.
In their minds, sooner or later, this arrogant girl from some unknown sect would be humbled.
The announcer, on the other hand, stood stiff and sweated, not knowing what to do or proceed.
Then, suddenly, an officer quickly went to him, leaned in close, and whispered something into his ear.
The announcer's eyes quickly widened in shock the moment he heard it.
The seven competitors exchanged glances, knowing that this was it.
"Finally, she'll be stopped."
The announcer stepped forward, raising his hands to silence everybody, giving him a chance to talk.
"Excuse me, everybody. I have just received an order from the higher-ups."
He glanced nervously at the competitors, then back at the crowd.
"Competitor Dahlia's request to challenge all seven remaining competitors at once... has been accepted."
