The towering muscleman didn't even have time to scream. The wolf held tight until the man was dead, then began ripping into his flesh, savoring the victory.

The audience was struck with shock and horror as they witnessed the dreadful spectacle. Beads of sweat trickled down their foreheads, a testament to their shock at the fight's unforeseen conclusion.

Despite his history of conquering fearsome beasts, the muscleman Lost to Zayden's domesticated wolf.

The scene took on a surreal quality, with the wolf's snarls and flesh-tearing sound echoing eerily.

Bennett couldn't contain his laughter as he observed the spectacle, punctuating it with a hearty round of applause. His applause rang out distinctly in the otherwise silent arena.

He said to Zayden, "Your expertise in handling your wolf is truly impressive. I admit defeat in our agreement. Let's collaborate, and I'll entrust you with managing the matter in Eleymond."

“That muscleman of yours is also quite extraordinary. He almost made me lose the bet," Zayden said with a modest smile, resembling a cunning old fox.

Bennett said, “According to the terms of our bet, you have the right to request one thing, and I will definitely fulfill it."

Zayden spoke leisurely. “I need your assistance in killing someone. Given your skilled team of mercenaries, this should be an easy task for you."

Bennett paused briefly before smiling and toasting with Zayden.

“Indeed, it's an easy task."

In Eleymond, despite the heightened public sentiment on the internet, life went on.

As Ariana hadn't secured a suitable place to live, she stayed temporarily at the Fredrick family's residence. She had planned to stay in Sonia's place when Sonia was not busy, but Holden had consistently objected, providing various reasons, which had left her with no alternative.

Luckily, Melon showed impressive adaptability. In a matter of days, he had acclimated to life in the Fredrick household, following Holden around every day.

Holden was quite content with Melon by his side. At home, it was a common sight to see him holding Adele in his left hand and Melon in his right hand.

On certain occasions, despite Holden's office commitments, Melon would persist in accompanying Holden.

Melon's joy was evident, and Ariana's sense of relief prompted her to permit Melon to maintain his closeness with Holden.

One day, Melon and Adele accompanied Holden to work, while Ariana planned to visit Mitchel at the hospital, coinciding with his discharge.

Upon reaching the door of Mitchel's ward, Ariana encountered a girl stepping out of the room.

This girl was good-looking, characterized by sparkling eyes and well -defined eyebrows. Ariana, being a professional agent, could perceive that with a slight enhancement in the girl's attire, she would transform into a beauty.
