Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1596
The match was at the round of 32 and round of 16 at the moment, but
Emmanuel wouldnât be facing the Finch family, unfortunately, based on the
previous advancement of matches.
Suddenly, the host invited Joe to go on stage and address the audience, who
had guessed that his first announcement would be about Yosefâs
advancement qualification from the previous night. This was also what all the
forces were most concerned about.
Yosef had become too powerful after going into deviation. So, anyone who
faced him was bound to fail.
âLadies and gentlemen, I understand everyone canât wait to know the status
of Onza Tannerâs representative, Yosef Harperâs, qualification!â
But the audience erupted into a clamor before he could reveal the results.
âThereâs no point in discussing this. The Tanner family of Onza has done so
many wrongs. Theyâre even under investigation by the Chanaean institution.

They shouldnât exist anymore!â
âIndeed, since the family he represents is no more, he isnât eligible to
compete according to the rules!â
âExactly. Especially considering how cruel he is. Such a person doesnât
deserve the title of Grandmaster!â
The forces in a clamor were mostly those who had advanced from the lower
half of the bracket the previous night. However, those from the upper half of
the bracket remained silent. Although they were also afraid of Yosef, they
had wished for him to help wipe out the lower half of the bracket to reduce
their competition. As for the final round, they would get rid of Yosef based on
the situation.
âAllow me to address the pressing question that has been on everyoneâs
minds!â Joe gestured for silence and announced to the audience, âThe Onzal
Tanner family has done various evil deeds, and their patriarch has taken his
own life out of fear. The family no longer exists. However, their business was
acquired by the third Silverbane family yesterday, and Yosef Harper has
Chapter 1596 Revote
agreed to represent them. Therefore, there is no issue with him not
representing a family.â

âWhat?!â The audience was taken aback by this revelation, and eyes turned
toward the third Silverbane family sitting area.
Raphael Silverbane was Stanleyâs third son. However, as he was also
developing his influence in Onza, they used the third Silverbane family to
differentiate him from the main family. In addition, Susan was Raphaelâs
daughter.
She proudly linked arms with Gautier when she felt the astonishment in the
audienceâs eyes. Meanwhile, Emmanuel and Mackenzie were conflicted as
they watched the scene unfold.
It was especially so for him. Gautier even helped me out the last time. I canât
tell whether heâs a friend or foe from his MO.
On the stage, Joe continued, âAfter discussion, the organizing committee has
decided to allow the other competing forces to vote on Yosef Harperâs
Chapter 1506 Revote
participation in the interest of fairness and justice.â
This announcement sparked another round of discussion, and opposing
voices quieted down. Even those in the lower half of the bracket believed that
not many would want Yosef to continue competing. Even if there were, they
would be in the minority.
However, Blake suddenly stood up and shouted, his powerful voice
resonating throughout the room without needing a microphone, âWait! I have
an objection! Voting is fair and just, but shouldnât the matchups be
rearranged if Yosef is deemed eligible to compete? Wait. Even if he canât
compete, it seems unfair to allow a contestant to have a bye. But if heâs lucky
and happens to receive a bye, then Iâm sure everyone wonât have qualms
about it.â
He expressed himself eloquently, âIâm sure everyone is here to witness the
emergence of a new Grandmaster. If someone takes advantage of this and
becomes the winner, it wonât convince everyone, right?â
It was unclear whether he intended to say this or if Hattie prompted him to
Chapter 1596 Revote
do so. However, the crowd began shouting their support as soon as he
finished talking. They just wanted to see a sensational fight and pay their

respect to the new Grandmaster. They didnât wish the competition to be the
result of any form of power manipulation behind the scenes.
Since it had come to this, Joe didnât hesitate to answer, âCertainly. Regardless
of whether Yosef can compete or not, the pairings for the top 32 will be
rearranged by computer. Luck also plays a role in oneâs strength. Therefore, I
hope there wonât be any objections then!â
People received his announcement much better, and the voting process
commenced as the dissenting voices quieted.
Voting was made very convenient in the modernized arena. Mackenzie and
Emmanuel exchanged a few words and decisively selected the support
option to allow Yosef to continue competing.
