A collective gasp swept through the audience.
''Double the rewards?''
''That's an additional 40 million dollars if he succeeds!''
''Even he isn't crazy enough to fight two top students at once though!''

Whitmore Family.
'Not only do they want to expose my gifts to the world,' he thought bitterly. 'You're even going to try and make me lose this?'
Just then, the loud, excited voice from the announcer echoed through the arena again.
"Of course, should he refuse, the tournament will proceed as originally planned,'' he paused for a moment. ''The choice is entirely his."
Thousands of eyes locked onto him.
And unbeknownst to him, well over a million more were watching live.
Theo remained seated, his expression unchanging.
