Maxing Out

"Crowley, come to my office tomorrow morning, I shall give you your reward for your exemplary performance. That's all from me, you're dismissed."

Nodding with a smile at Corvus, Shye bid everyone in the preparation room farewell. He then met up with Seira outside the arena.

"Boss! You're amazing as always! Even I didn't expect that you would simply toy with Arthur Vermicelli like that!"

"Hahahaha! I told you, didn't I? Your boss is invincible!"

The two of them chatted casually as they walked towards the betting station to claim their winnings. Naturally, upon arriving, the now iconic duo easily captured everyone's attention.

"H-Hey, look! Isn't that Shye Crowley and his underling?"

"Yeah, no doubt about it."

"I heard he bet on himself big time!"

"Now that's true confidence!"

This time, all that came his way were curious gasps and words of admiration, bringing a smile to the duo's face.
