Chapter 126 – Devout Believer (2/2)
The finals weren’t like the other matches, he couldn’t forfeit as he pleases. If Lin Xiao didn’t have a valid reason, he would be disqualified from being the runner up, then all his previous efforts would have gone down the drain.
Even if he wanted to forfeit, he would have to come on stage to do it.
He quickly ran down the stage and inquired about what was going on. But Woos also didn’t know where Lin Xiao was, this baffled them.
Beneath the stage, Momm was anxiously scratching his hair… well his bald head, Woos was also just as anxious, as well as Caesar who was almost losing his patience.
He finally adjusted his mental state and now it was about to collapse… was Lin Xiao coming late on purpose, and trying to disturb him?
Thinking of that, Caesar suddenly became more vigilant, that definitely sounds like a plan Lin Xiao would come up with! That bastard, was he already starting with psychological warfare before the match began?
But this time, Caesar was overthinking it, Lin Xiao had no such plans.
As everyone was becoming more anxious, a beautiful girl ran out from the crowd, a slim figure with a pink ponytail.
“Teacher Woos, teacher Woos!”
“Rosie?” As she got close, Woos could see that it was the eldest daughter of the Childe family.
“Teacher! I, I…” She ran up to Woos while panting, and couldn’t even speak clearly.
Woos’s heart sank.
Something must have happened for Rosie to be running for dear life, did something bad happen to Lin Xiao?
“T-teacher… Lin Xiao asked me to hand this note to you.” Rosie gasped for breath and said, “He said that this note was extremely important… that damn bastard, how dare he order me around, if he wasn’t my ally, I wouldn’t have agreed.”
“Note? What note?”
Woos quickly took the note from her hand and unfurled it to take a look.
A crooked line of word were scrawled over the slip of paper.
「Sorry teacher Woos, today a beautiful kindhearted Saint is coming to Winterless City, I have to attend her inauguration ceremony, so I can only forfeit. May the Goddess of Light’s blessing be with you! 一一 A devout believer, yours sincerely Lin Xiao」
“Ah… ah… I-I can’t.”
After reading the slip of paper, Woos almost fainted. If it wasn’t for Rosie catching him, he probably would have already fell onto the ground and passed out.
“T-that damn bastard, he actually dares to forfeit… when did he start believing in the Goddess of Light?”
Forget about forfeiting, what made Woos angry was that he actually forfeited because he wanted to see the Saint, and pretended he was a believer to trick the judges, did he not have a sense of shame?
If he was a believer, the Goddess would probably be furious!
“Teacher Woos, so you’re saying Lin Xiao forfeited?” Rosie feebly asked.
“Yes.”
“Then Caesar is the winner?”
“Yes.”
“Hehe, awesome! At least I didn’t come all this way for nothing, I didn’t think he would actually forfeit, at least he still has some sense!” Learning that Caesar won, Rosie happily started hopping.
As expected of her ally, not only did he defeat Shen DaiYing, he also tactfully let Caesar win, she found the right person!
“Sigh…”
Was a highly anticipated match going to end just like that? What a joke!
However… does Lin Xiao know the new Saint?
