The emotion released in the masked person's eyes was undoubtedly a provocation, but it also revealed an important piece of information—
It was equally wary of Angel and Dox.
Because the masked person's provocation, to put it bluntly, was just a kind of goading tactic, meant to lure them onto the arena and make them strike first. And once Angel or Dox laid a hand on the masked person, it would mean being dragged into the contract.
If the masked person really had the strength to crush Angel and Dox on its own, it wouldn't need to rely on the contract's bonus; it could just step off the stage right now and fight them. Why insist on pulling them into a contract?
So, from this alone it was clear that the masked person believed that without the contract, it would be very difficult to deal with Angel and Dox.
Once they saw this clearly, the masked person's challenge naturally couldn't stir their emotions.
