Watson was annoyed when he realized that Darryl would not go down. He turned to Master Ralph and yelled, “You are the host. Tell us, does Darryl getting onto the stage count as breaking the tournament rules?”
Uh…
Master Ralph had an awkward and conflicted expression on his face. He pondered about that.
Watson and the others were right. However, he could not afford to offend Darryl as well.
“Get off the stage first.” Darryl softly reminded Celine yet again.
Celine nodded and walked off the stage.
The crowd got impatient and tried to gang up on Celine. However, they decided to hold back because they were afraid of Darryl.
Woo!
Darryl turned to look at Master Ralph when he saw that Celine had gotten off the stage safely. He said, “Master Ralph, the purpose of this tournament was to fight each other and not to fight to one’s death. The Honorable Pianist no longer had the energy to continue fighting; it would be pointless to continue with the fight. Now that I am here to take her place, is there any wrong in that?”
“Uh…” Master Ralph nodded and said bitterly, “Master Darby has a point too…”
Then, Watson decided to be sarcastic again. “Interesting! You disrupted the tournament, yet you made it seem as if your actions were justified.”
Then, he sneered at Darryl and said, “Since you must replace Celine, then the rules should change as well. From now onward, you have to go against two opponents. You like to pity women, right? Want to be the hero and save them? Well, we’ll give you a chance to do just that.”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
“Yes, since Master Darby wants to fight, then we’ll play along.”
“With his powers, going up against two opponents at the same time is a piece of cake for him.”
“This is a great suggestion.”
As they discussed that, the crowd’s eyes flashed in excitement and maliciousness.
