Chapter 308 Rhode’s Miscalculation (2/2)

Rhode wished that Anne could forfeit this match and if possible, he wished to replace her. But it was a pity that rules were rules and violators would be disqualified. Damn it, how could I forget about this?!

Rhode was hesitant and confused. Anne jumped right into the arena with enthusiasm. Moreover, it was obvious that Anne was angered by the crowd and during the first three matches, she had been exchanging insults with the audience. Although she couldn't face 100k people at once, she didn't have the intentions to stop. Although Rhode tried to intervene, her personality was just so direct that she couldn't tolerate anyone humiliating her friends without apparent reasons. Therefore, even though it was useless, she continued to defend her companions.

Should I make Anne forfeit her match?

Of course, Rhode could do that. Although Anne had a fiery temper, she was always obedient. If he made her forfeit her match, she would eventually agree. All in all, it was Rhode's miscalculations that had led to this. Although Rhode had heard of Carody from Shawn, he didn't know which guild would Carody be in. Furthermore, the participating five members were only decided right before the start of the match. It would be too amazing if Rhode could calculate that Carody would follow the Sky Sword and be placed as the fourth member…

But, this matter was started because of him and he didn't see any reasons for Anne to be the scapegoat. Furthermore, this didn't serve any purpose at all. Although he wasn't certain what Carody was plotting, he knew that this man was brutal and wouldn't care less if the Sky Sword Guild was eliminated from the competition. However, if Anne was hurt and died in the process, it would be a huge loss for him.

”I can tell you that this man is powerful. Much more powerful than you.”

Rhode decided to spill the beans with her.

”This man isn't an ordinary human. He is Carody and the leader of the Country of Light parliament's assassination group. Anne, he is much stronger than you and I confirm that he's here for me. Anne, this match is dangerous and he will not show any mercy. You may even die.”

Anne gazed into Rhode's eyes and said.

”So if Anne dies, will Leader be sad?”

”Of course.”

Rhode nodded without hesitations.

”Of course I will be sad, Anne. Although I detest that guy, I can't send you as a scapegoat, after all. So, Anne…”

Anne hurried stepped forward and gave Rhode a tight hug.

”Thanks, Leader.”

Her cheerful voice rang in his ears.

”Anne has no intentions of dying either, Leader. But Anne wants to try. No matter who he is, Anne won't admit defeat. Although Anne knows that this is unruly… Leader, can you allow Anne's request?”

Anne released her arms and stood before him.

Rhode shook his head and sighed before gesturing to Lapis.

”Lapis, pass me that potion.”

”Ah, yes, Leader.”

Lapis withdrew a blue bottle of potion from her pouch and passed it to Rhode. The latter handed it over to Anne.

”Finish this, Anne. I give you five minutes. If you don't step down after five minutes, I will drag you off. Get it?”

”Don't worry, Leader!”

Anne accepted the potion and clenched her fists.

”Anne will not lose!”
