"Well then, suit yourself!" Woods acted as if it was none of his business but soon added, "Though I have to tell you that my sister suddenly came to the Qi Clan after the emperor summoned her yesterday, not just to see this final competition. You must be careful. If you disrupted her plan, don't tell me that I did not warn you!"
Hearing this, the look on Geoffrey's face changed as well. If what Woods had said was true, then it would be troublesome because he knew Alyssa's status in the Timber Deity Empire. Her every move would affect the entire empire, so if she planned to make any move in the Beast Master Contest again, and he accidentally got in her way, the consequence would be unimaginable.
"Thank you for your warning!" At that moment, Geoffrey couldn't help but hesitate.
And when Alexander noticed this, he could not help but feel anxious too.
Woods' eyes narrowed, as he had to put off the matter until Alyssa had returned. He didn't know who would be declared as the winner, but he knew that her decision wouldn't be as sure as before, and the reason was self-evident.
The entire hall's atmosphere was heavy with tension, and all of them wore varying expressions of concern. No one dared to speak for fear of censure, but in fact, all of them had their self-serving interest to protect.
In the end, Geoffrey couldn't help but say, "I don't think Alyssa will come back, so instead, I will witness the final result of the Beast Master Contest, on the behalf of the second prince!"
A few minutes later, Alexander ordered someone to bring the prepared announcement, as Geoffrey brought out his jade seal. And once he put the jade seal on the announcement, the Qi Clan would be declared the winner of the contest.
Although Woods knew that they had planned this, he couldn't do anything to stop him, as that would undoubtedly offend Geoffrey. He couldn't fall out with Geoffrey just because of that.
At this moment, all eyes were on Geoffrey. He was about to use the jade seal, and the announcement was on his lips. All around him, the people from the Qi Clan already wore jubilant smiles on their faces. Seeing that, Lucilla and Lucas could not help but sigh in defeat.
When Geoffrey's jade seal was about to touch the notice, a man r
umors just now, so I came here to have a look. If it weren't for your strange behavior yesterday, there wouldn't have been any gossip, would there? All the chiefs are waiting for you to announce the final result of the Beast Master Contest!" Geoffrey joked with a smile, but beneath the happy mask was the venomous fangs of a snake.
"Well, I am here now." Alyssa glanced at Geoffrey and then turned to ask Alexander, "Chief Alexander, is your son alright now?"
"He is fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness." Alexander bowed and answered.
"I was too imprudent yesterday. But your son started a fight in public, which was such an improper thing to do, especially by the young master of the Qi Clan," Alyssa berated coldly.
"Your Royal Highness, please forgive my son! He just got carried away at that time! Please forgive him!" Alyssa's expression sent intense fear into Alexander's heart, and his whole demeanor changed. He looked less smug than before and pleaded for Alyssa's mercy.
"Make sure that this does not happen again next time!" Alyssa waved her hand and responded.
"Your Royal Highness, it should be the time to announce the final result of the Beast Master Contest, right? Who will be the final winner between the Qi Clan and the Cao Clan?" At this time, Samson spoke up and asked, giving Alexander a reprieve that Alyssa, immediately, allowed.
She turned away from Alexander and turned to address the people, as everyone waited for her to talk with bated breaths.
