Chapter 2672
Chapter 2672 Elder Maurice felt rather incredulous at Mr. Zayne’s words and turned to look at him. “What do youmean? What plans?”
Mr. Zayne took a deep breath as Jackie’s face surfaced in his mind. “Elder Rick really went too far thistime. It’d be great if we win, yes, but we may just lose, too. These two are possible entirely.
“We need to consider the consequences of those two results and prepare ourselves for them. From thestart, the two of us were allowed the thought of defeat to destroy our rationality. We’ve never reallythought about the problem.
“Now that all of them are fully focused on refining the Three Suns Pill, we have the perfect opportunityto think about what we should do after we get back.”
Elder Maurice furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Mr. Zayne. He never really had
much of an impression of Mr. Zayne before this since the man had always been a private person.
After their interaction extended, Elder Maurice immediately felt like Mr. Zayne was not a simple-mindedperson. Even though the guy was just a deacon at that moment, he would be an elder eventually if hisintelligence was anything to go by.
He was smart and level-headed when facing problems. He was always very logical when he spoke aswell.
Elder Maurice sighed. “Elder Rick will no doubt be bitter. After we head back, we have to make sure toembellish the matter.
“You’re right: we have to be prepared for the results, win or lose. Let’s put winning aside for now. Howwill we deal with the higher-ups’ anger if we lose?”
Mr. Zayne nodded before he said decisively, “If we’re talking about responsibility, then Elder Rick has totake up eighty percent of the responsibility if we lose. The five of us will only need to take up twentypercent.”
Elder Maurice raised an eyebrow at that, looking at Mr. Zayne approvingly. “You’re very right about that,but there’s a detrimental issue here. Elder Rick recommended Jackie, who’s the most talented personof the three. He was the one who helped us win the first part of the tournament.
“What do we say if we push eighty percent of the responsibility onto Elder Rick? In truth, him pushingJackie to participate was a good thing!”novelbin
Elder Maurice was right. Elder Rick might not have had good intentions initially, but the results were stillgood in the end. Jackie did not disappoint them and had even helped them obtain victory.
However, if they ended up losing in the end, citing Jackie as the problem would not be very convincing.Elder Rick might actually use it to turn things around.
Mr. Zayne raised an eyebrow as he said. confidently, “This problem is actually quite simple. We justneed Jackie to go along with it.”
Elder Maurice’s eyes brightened as various schemes popped up in his head, but he did not voice outhis thoughts immediately.
Meanwhile…
Master Forrest looked on as Elder Maurice and Mr. Zayne whispered to each other. His heart boiled inanger, feeling like the two of them were deliberately putting on a show for him.
After all, he had mocked them quite a bit at the start, but since they had gotten a pass, they wouldnaturally get back at him several times over. Master Forrest was no longer in the same position as
before, which caused him to suffer a lot.
He loathed Jackie, and his hatred ran deep. Had Jackie not participated, no issues would have risen inthe tournament. He had a trump card in Bradley and would not have needed to worry about the secondpossible result.
“Elder Maurice, are you not very confident right now? Didn’t you say that you’d definitely win before?Didn’t you say that Jackie would beat Bradley?” said Master Forrest coldly.
