A Battle About Who Cheats Better

After hearing what the terms of the bet were, Daniel could see that the majority of the population, despite the respect that they felt for him, were rooting for the Sect of the Illusory Edge.

What was interesting about it, was the fact that it wasn't due to a direct bias, but due to a moral one dictated by their unconscious.

They knew that they would have problems with having Daniel create essence spheres for them, if he were to lose.. but they couldn't help but think that all of this had happened because Daniel had decided to defend someone accused of a heinous crime such as rape.

The fact that Daniel had helped Zack avoid being killed in front of the teleporting platform, how one of his people had injured a large number of cultivators of the Sect of the Illusory Edge for Zack's sake, and how Daniel had created this bet just to demonstrate their innocence.
