Just like the New World Emperor, everyone at the tournament firmly believed that Wyatt underestimated his opponent.
When he heard that, the burden in Darryl’s heart was finally relieved.
‘It seems like my acting was pretty good; everyone was deceived by it.’
Other than those in the venue, Four Dragon Four Phoenixes, who were waiting outside, gathered around too.
“Boss, how was it?”
“Did you qualify for the next round?”
Darryl smiled and nodded his head. “Of course, I qualified; otherwise, how can I be your boss?”
All the Four Dragon Four Phoenixes cheered when they heard that. They were really excited as they ushered Darryl into a nearby restaurant to celebrate.
Once they reached the second floor and sat down, Eldest Dragon said excitedly, “Boss, when we passed by the literary competition venue just now, the evening session’s competition details and regulations had been posted.”
Eldest Dragon then shared the competition regulations in detail.
The literary competition in the afternoon was an elimination session. Eight participants would take part together in each session. Every participant would lead 20 royal guards to an attack and defend battle together with other participants. The final two participants would qualify for the next round, and the other six would be eliminated.
‘Sh*t! Attack and defend battle? The New World Royal family has to make such a big ordeal?’ Darryl was stunned immediately when he heard those words.
However, on second thought, the New World Royal family’s reason to create such rules was to challenge the participants’ leadership capabilities in leading the army to war and the army’s formation. That was understandable.
However, it would be chaotic for eight people to participate in each session. It would not be easy for the participants to be able to last till the end.
As he thought, Darryl smiled and was not worrie at all. He was not sure about the others in terms of army formation, but he would not lose anyone in the world.
No matter what, he had completely mastered the Bai Qi Formations. With his mastery of Bai Qi Formations, he had a high chance of winning in the literary competition that evening.
Wine and food were served soon. Darryl and Four Dragon as well as Four Phoenix raised their glasses and then enjoyed the food.
As they were happily drinking, they saw a group of people sit at the table next to them. All of them looked smart and tidy, dressed in scholars' clothing, and were participants of the literary competition.
Geoff took a deep breath and glared at Darryl at the side. He then said softly, “I lost to Luca yesterday, and I’m still furious. If anyone were assigned to be in the same session with Luca in this evening’s attack and defend battle, please help me attack him. Do not let him qualify for the next round no matter what.”
When he said that, Geoff had a wicked gleam in his eyes.
‘Luca, don’t think that you’ll be fine after beating me. Even If I can’t cause you trouble in the competition, that does not mean that others can’t.’
Hearing his words, everyone there did not give any further thought but agreed immediately.
“Don’t worry, Mister Jefferson, if I were to bump into Luca at the defend and attack battle, I would definitely seek revenge for you.”
“That’s right; he’s only Mister Yohan’s servant. It’s no problem.”
“Ha-ha!”
Geoff was excited when he saw everyone agreed. He raised his glass and smiled. “Thank you in advance, everyone. Drinks on me! Everyone, cheers!”
