“You lost!” Darryl said, smiling at Holden as he stood there with his hands behind his back.
Holden gritted his teeth and glared at Darryl. He was unhappy about the loss, but he had no way to deny it.
At this moment, Ivy walked over and yelled at Holden, “This man doesn’t even have a weapon and you can’t beat him? What happened to you just now? Why didn’t you move? You just stood there and let him kick you.”
She thought Holden would win; she was not expecting such an embarrassing loss.
“Miss Ivy, I...I don’t know what happened. I just couldn’t move,” Holden said, wanting to cry, but he had no tears.
He was the most famous knight in the whole of San Morio City. It was shameful for him to lose to an unknown man. Holden was depressed and did not want to change his perception of Darryl despite the defeat. He kept thinking his defeat was purely a coincidence.
Then, Dominic came over and let out a loud laugh as he said to Ivy, “Ivy, did you see that? Mister Darryl defeated Holden, so he’s qualified to be your teacher, right?”
Dominic could hardly hide his excitement when he said that. Although Darryl might not have won the competition in a grand way, even confusing some people, he still won in the end.
“Father, you saw it yourself; Holden was not able to move. Obviously, he wasn’t in good condition to fight today, so this competition shouldn’t count!” Ivy said, biting her lips.
Like Holden, Ivy thought it was an accident that Holden was not able to move during the fight. Otherwise, Darryl would not be able to defeat him at all.
Dominic's face changed; he was going to scold her.
“This is interesting. It turns out Miss Ivy would go against her word. You’re the one who proposed the game. But, now that you’ve lost, you deny it. Mister Mayor, are these the rules here in San Morio City? Whatever you promise can be ignored?” Darryl said to Ivy, looking relaxed.
