Hearing this, everyone gathered around the door and respectfully stood on both sides. With Ernest in the lead, they waited for the arrival of Auric Singer and Stanley Berry. Very soon, they walked into the lounge.
“Young Master Berry, Young Master Singer,” Ernest greeted them.
Stanley snorted coldly and walked through the crowd. He sat on the chair with a cold expression and said, “How many matches have you won?”
Hearing this question, the atmosphere in the entire lounge turned cold. Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to answer. Cold sweat also beaded Ernest’s forehead. He hesitated for a long time without daring to say anything.
Seeing this, Stanley scowled and said, “Four matches?”
Ernest shook his head.
“Three?”
Ernest shook his head again.
“How many matches exactly?” Stanley lost his patience and asked.
Ernest hesitated for a long time before he said, “Young Master Berry, we’ve won zero matches so far.”
“What?!” Hearing that, Stanley scowled and said, “You lost all of them?”
Ernest nodded and knelt on the floor with a thud. The heads of the disciple families behind him followed suit.
“Young Master Berry, I’m sorry to let you down, but Philip Clarke is too cunning. He found some helpers from somewhere, and all of them are very powerful. Even a contestant who’s taken the reagent was defeated.” Ernest explained in a panic.
Stanley’s face was dark, and he said coldly, “What exactly is going on?”
