Just like that, Eden had won the round, leaving everyone speechless.
For a while, no one cheered. They stood there, staring in utter shock. Only Helen and Marcus cheered from where they stood. And soon, many other people joined, cheering loudly.
"At this point, I think he's winning," someone said.
"I know, right? So the great Evans is going to be dethroned at his own game?"
"I can't believe my eyes. I'm going to lose money!"
"This is terrible! We have to do something."
Some discussed the rules, wondering if Eden had defaulted in any way. But the rule never spoke against leaving the track—especially in a situation of malfunction like this.
So Eden won rightfully.

The third round commenced as the audience stared in anticipation.
The stage for a one-on-one physical battle was set. A fight with weapons and the likes.
The audience's cheer was less when Evans walked onto the stage. But as Eden stepped on the stage, many more people cheered.
