Chapter 1596
The match was at the round of 32 and round of 16 at the moment, but
Emmanuel wouldn’t 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 Yosef’s
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.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I understand everyone can’t wait to know the status
of Onza Tanner’s representative, Yosef Harper’s, qualification!”
But the audience erupted into a clamor before he could reveal the results.
“There’s no point in discussing this. The Tanner family of Onza has done so
many wrongs. They’re even under investigation by the Chanaean institution.

They shouldn’t exist anymore!”
“Indeed, since the family he represents is no more, he isn’t eligible to
compete according to the rules!”
“Exactly. Especially considering how cruel he is. Such a person doesn’t
deserve the title of Grandmaster!”
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.
“Allow me to address the pressing question that has been on everyone’s
minds!” Joe gestured for silence and announced to the audience, “The 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.”

“What?!” The audience was taken aback by this revelation, and eyes turned
toward the third Silverbane family sitting area.
Raphael Silverbane was Stanley’s 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 Raphael’s
daughter.
She proudly linked arms with Gautier when she felt the astonishment in the
audience’s 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 can’t
tell whether he’s a friend or foe from his MO.
On the stage, Joe continued, “After discussion, the organizing committee has
decided to allow the other competing forces to vote on Yosef Harper’s
Chapter 1506 Revote
participation in the interest of fairness and justice.”
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, “Wait! I have
an objection! Voting is fair and just, but shouldn’t the matchups be
rearranged if Yosef is deemed eligible to compete? Wait. Even if he can’t
compete, it seems unfair to allow a contestant to have a bye. But if he’s lucky
and happens to receive a bye, then I’m sure everyone won’t have qualms
about it.”
He expressed himself eloquently, “I’m sure everyone is here to witness the
emergence of a new Grandmaster. If someone takes advantage of this and
becomes the winner, it won’t convince everyone, right?”
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 didn’t wish the competition to be the
result of any form of power manipulation behind the scenes.
Since it had come to this, Joe didn’t hesitate to answer, “Certainly. 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 one’s strength. Therefore, I
hope there won’t be any objections then!”
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.
