Chapter 2181

Not far away from where Severin was, Myles, Daniella, and the others were standing together. They were feeling relieved at the same time after hearing what Oskar just said. Myles’ mind went blank and he was extremely anxious when Lejeune and the others started attacking Severin.

If Severin lost his points and was disqualified from the competition, then they would all lose all their bets. Before he could make up his mind if he should stand up for Severin, Oskar beat him to it and helped Severin. Since Oskar was on Severin’s side and did not have the intention to hold Severin responsible, those who supported Severin did not have to worry anymore.

The arrogant Lejeune could only shut his mouth but everyone could tell he was feeling unhappy with the result from the expression on his face.

Myles decided to speak his mind. “Mister Lejeune, I don’t find anything wrong with what Mister Oskar said. Riley never raised a white flag before he died so how could you say Severin killed Riley on purpose?”

He continued sarcastically, “Man, you are really very good at accusing people. Why don’t you take into consideration that Riley used all of his power to try to kill Severin before he died?”

The others quickly showed their support by commenting on the matter.

“That’s right. I agree too!”

“This is a fighting competition. It’s very common that contestant could accidentally kill his opponent.”

“Don’t tell me you have plans to kill all the contestants who accidentally wounded their opponents?”

After hearing those, Lejeune had a bad expression on his face and felt extremely angry with everyone else. Despite having the desire to fight back, he knew it was better to keep quiet after realizing Oskar would do anything to protect Severin.

In the end, he snorted and ignored Myles and the other people.

All these while, Severin continued to hover above the sky. After knowing he was safe, he unactivated the power of heaven and earth that was used to protect himself. Then he cupped his hand at Oskar and said, “Thank you, I appreciate it a lot.”

After all, Riley was a prodigy and a core disciple. Normally, Severin would have to explain and be responsible for killing a prodigy like Riley. Not to mention the bet Myles and the other had and he also knew many people were actually rooting for Karl instead of him.

Therefore, they would surely use the opportunity to disqualify him.

He knew if Oskar did not protect him, he would not have any chance to escape from the attack. Even if he survived the attack, it would be very hard to escape the punishment Lejeune had planned for him. Maybe they would even charge him with another crime for being resilient. After all, the nine peak masters were responsible for overseeing the competition including the safety of the contestants.

Now that a prodigy was killed during the competition, someone must be held accountable. If they had not put the blame on Severin, then it would have been their mistake for letting the incident from happening. Thus, Lejeune and the others would act in that way.

Yes, Oskar was a sect leader of the Grandiuno Sect but that did not mean he could have his ways as he pleased. As a great leader, he had to make decisions that benefit the overall future of the sect.

Rules were there for a reason. Without the rules, members of the sect could act as they pleased and that would not help a sect become great or even be around for thousands of years.

The sect had spent many resources on Riley for many years. It was sad news that Riley had died in battle with Severin before making much contribution to the sect. Because of that, Severin was grateful to Oskar.

Oskar nodded back at Severin while feeling helpless. “This is the one and only time. Bear in mind, you’re not getting off the hook the next time.”

Truth be told, it was giving him a headache too knowing a prodigy the sect had spent countless of time and resources trained died just like that. The effort to build a paragon prodigy was not easy.
