The referee at the side slowly said at this moment, “Luca Moonlight won this round! Luca Moonlight passed all four categories and will proceed into the next stage!”
He then looked at the pale-faced Geoff. “Geoff Jefferson passed three categories, but lost at chess—eliminated!”
‘I-I lost? Just like that?’
Geoff sat there in shock. He was rendered speechless.
Darryl slowly stood up, smiled, and said, “Mister Jefferson, I’m sure you won’t renege on your words? The competition is over. I’ll wait for you outside!”
Darryl then whistled while walking out.
‘Haha!’ It was exhilarating when he taught that rich brat a lesson using chess.
He was outside when he noticed Parker coming out as well.
Parker was all smiles and looking relaxed at that moment. It seems that she managed to proceed onto the next round as well.
“Hmm? Luca Moonlight!”
Parker walked over upon seeing Darryl. “How did it go? Did you manage to proceed onto the next round?”
Darryl chuckled. “You passed onto the next level. I’d of course pass to the next level as well!”
“Tsk!” Parker could not help but purse her lips upon seeing his confident look. “I’m sure you just scraped by right?”
Parker saw that Darryl’s result was at the bottom few in yesterday’s literary preliminary, so she was sure that he would be at the bottom few again for the four categories.
Darryl smiled but did not further explain.
Geoff dejectedly came out of the competition venue with his extremely ugly expression and pale face as they were chatting.
He was eliminated on just the literary competition’s first day. Anyone would also be in a bad mood after experiencing so.
The part which made Geoff even harder to accept was that a rich family’s young master like he had lost to a mere servant.
“Mister Jefferson!”
Parker could not help but yell upon seeing Geoff, “How is it? Did you move on to the next stage?”
