An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1318
The crowd broke into a quiet discussion. Some of the VIPS who pretended to be knowledgeable regretted not being quicker in their responses.
âUgh! I was just about to say death, but this guy beat me to it. What a rookie mistake!â âMe too! If only I hadnât hesitated, this young man wouldnât have stolen the spotlight!â
âDeath ⦠seems like a profound answer!
Everyone thought that was the answer since Cody answered so confidently. âHow about it, Mr. Jankow? Did I get it right?â Cody smirked, looking smug.
âIâm⦠sorry. Youâre wrong again.â Keanu responded politely.
âWhat? Wrong again?â The smile on Codyâs face froze.
âMr. Jankow, youâre not joking, are you?â âHow can I joke about something like this? You indeed have the wrong answer.â Keanu shook his head.
After hearing this, Cody and the rest of the students of Harmony Healers looked at Harper with puzzled expressions.
âHow is that possible? I clearly understood the poetic sentiments behind those lines. Why am I still wrong?â With her eyes widened, Harper found it hard to accept. She was a prodigy, so how could she make consecutive mistakes?
âMr. Ostrower, seems like youâre putting your hopes on the wrong person,â Lana said.
She added sarcastically, âHarper is arrogant and self-absorbed. Itâs unfortunate that she has no real talents. How can you believe her? Youâd be better off throwing wild guesses.â
Codyâs eyes twitched. For a moment, he didnât know how to respond. It was humiliating! One wrong answer could be seen as a mistake. But now he had given two wrong answers, and he was the first to answer each time. It looked pretty bad.
âLana Camron, donât be too smug! Even though Iâm wrong, Iâm still better than you. You canât even answer!â Harper shouted.
âWho said I canât answer?â Lana smiled faintly and snapped her fingers.
âTell her the correct answer.â
âSure.â
The scholarly man beside her stood up and said, âI am the beginning of everything, the end of everywhere. Iâm the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space.
âEverything begins with the letter E, and everywhere ends with E. Eternity begins with E, and space ends with E. The correct answer is the letter E!â
âWhat a load of crap! How could it be the letter E-â
Harper was about to argue when Keanu said, âMs. Camron is correct. The answer is indeed the letter E.â
Harper choked on her words, freezing on the spot. She couldnât believe it. If only one person had given that answer, she would have surely scoffed. If two people gave the same answer, she could have still argued her point.
The problem now was that all three of them had given the same answer. How was she supposed to argue her case?
âIâm surprised that Dustin had the right answer. We lost our chance!â
âWhat a pity. If only we listened to Dustin.â
The students from Harmony Healers lamented as they shook their heads.
They had thought Harper would have a surefire victory when they saw her confidence. But to everyoneâs disappointment, she had answered two questions incorrectly. On the other hand, Dustin was unremarkable yet consistently provided the correct answers. It was unfortunate that no one believed him.
At that moment, everyone looked at Dustin differently. He was the true diamond in the rough!
