Another World Mall

Chapter 327 Announcement

*Thud—!*

"W-What?!" Shion screamed. In fact, the entire stadium was screaming with a confused face.

"Are you kidding me?"

"What the hell? You're supposed to win!"

"Is this rigged?!"

"Libation Fiesta should have won! Why are they conceding the match?"

"What the hell are you doing, Clovis?"

"You idiot!"

Their reactions were mixed. Some were questioning Clovis' decision, while others were condemning him.

It was already quite hard for them to reach this stage, so the people hoped they would go all the way.

Even the referee started regretting his decision to hand over the microphone. Why would this happen, especially in the final?

This was simply ridiculous.

Shion hurriedly looked into the rule book while saying, "Wait a minute... There is no rule stating that the team can't surrender during the match. However, this is simply too ridiculous."

As she said, people saw this as a mockery, not only to them but to the entire competition.

Clovis simply said, "I understand your concern, but I have to make this hard decision as the captain of the team. It's not that I don't trust my teammates, but Kanaria and Melody aren't specialized in the individual battle.

"Rather than letting my team get hurt any further, it's better to become a coward. We originally wanted to continue and claim the victory... but the Eight Swords were simply better than we originally expected.

"As a result, Jay, who was supposed to be participating in this battle and claiming the last victory for us, couldn't participate."

"Yeah." Aileen smiled wryly. "He was extremely strong... like a wall that I could never overcome..."

"!!!" Lana widened her eyes in shock. This was the first time she heard such praise come out of her mouth. "Is he that good?"

"His speed surpassed even me, his strength was stronger than Jay, his senses were comparable to his operator, and his schemes were worse than Tarkan's. He was that capable as a Tier 2 human. What do you think?"

"What?" Lana gasped. "Is he a human?"

"Lana..." Aileen looked solemn. "Now that the competition is done, the Bloody Rose will be disbanded, and I'll have to leave the group."

"Leave the group... Don't tell me. Are you going to do that?"

"Yeah. I want to get stronger..." Aileen sighed. "I'm sorry for being selfish."

"Jeez. I don't mind. Go pursue what you want. Don't hold back anymore, you hear me?"

"Is that so? Thank you." As if doing what Lana had just told her to do, a smile appeared on her cold face.

"Also, take this." Aileen took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lana.

"What is this?"

"Just open it later." Aileen closed her eyes. It was the piece of paper that contained the result of the match, according to Clovis. Aileen didn't have to look at it anymore after Clovis chose to concede the match.

Everything indeed went according to plan. And she accepted her loss.

Lana ended up stopping for a moment, looking at the medical staff bringing Aileen to the medical room.

Curious, Lana opened the piece of paper. "This is... the result of the battle?"

5-2 Lose (Draw).

Lana couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. It stated 'lose,' so this must be Clovis' handwriting. In addition, the 'draw' actually piqued her interest more.

When she thought about it carefully, she finally understood its meaning. She could only smile wryly. "Is he a madman or something? To think that he would do all kinds of things that a normal person wouldn't do..."
