"COME ON! It has to be rigged!" The voice cut through the rumble of the tavern but all simply ignored him. The reason being that the process to choose the teams as well as the client they matched up with was done live.
It was not the Harmonic Dragons or anyone related to them drawing either. It was also random representatives from across the 4th layer.
They had gone that far exactly to avoid any possibility of impropriety. So such exclamations were useless.
Even more so after the fight with one of his wives. His injuries were seen live by the entire audience which included quite a few Sovereign Tiers. Their eyes could not be deceived.
Further, the current contest revealed how deep those injuries still lingered. Previously, Lind Frey had Forged a fantastic item to the limit of his ability but the team effort should have been easy.
At the very least, a mid Law Grade item was not made solely by his effort, yet he seemed more exhausted than the last round.
