“Well then, the City Lord of Magical Fantasy City, please draw a crystal ball first.” The person responsible for the drawing of lots had put all four crystal b.a.l.l.s in a sealed box, revealing only a small hole at the top that allowed people to reach in and pick one crystal ball.
According to the regulations, the order of drawing lots was determined according to the outcome of the previous game. The Magical Fantasy City was the first to lose, so naturally, Geng Di would pick first.
Geng Di bit his lip and put his hand inside the box. He fumbled for a long time before he picked up a crystal ball and took out his hand.
Geng Di spread his palm and a red crystal ball lay quietly on his palm.
When Elder Wen, who was sitting on their teams’ viewing platform, saw that Geng Di had drawn a red crystal ball, a smile was revealed on his old face. As long as Duan Hen did according to his instructions and picked up another crystal ball that had not been marked, then he would definitely face Geng Di in the first game.
Elder Wen was not afraid that there would be any accidents. Knowing what the result of the drawing would be, he leaned on the back of his chair in satisfaction, waiting for Duan Hen to carry out their plans.
After Geng Di had drawn a crystal ball, the next one to pick was the second to be defeated team, the Twilight City.
Duan Hen looked at the box with some hesitation. He subconsciously looked at the direction of Elder Wen. Seeing that Elder Wen nodded to him, he slowly extended his hand inside the box.
However, in Duan Hen’s eyes, there was a touch of unwillingness and resentment. He carefully touched the three crystal b.a.l.l.s in the box with his fingertips and finally found a crystal ball that had not been marked. He took a deep breath and took it out.
However, when Duan Hen spread the palm of his hand, he froze.
On his palm was not a red crystal ball, but a blue crystal ball!
Elder Wen’s face instantly became pale. He incredulously narrowed his eyes at the two crystal b.a.l.l.s in the hands of Geng Di and Duan Hen that were totally different.
How could this be? Yesterday, Elder Wen clearly made a mark on the blue crystal b.a.l.l.s. With Duan Hen’s temper, it was absolutely impossible for him to rebel against Elder Wen at this time. But how could there be an accident now when the blue crystal b.a.l.l.s had clearly been tampered with beforehand?
Elder Wen’s expression was unsightly to the extreme. Things didn’t develop according to plan. No matter who drew against Duan Hen, it was definitely not what Elder Wen was willing to see.
Shen Yanxiao and Long Fei were not easy to deal with; even if Duan Hen could win, the price he would pay would be by no means small. On the other hand, the person to confront Geng Di would be the fisherman that benefited when the snipe and clam quarreled, which was basically completely different from Elder Wen’s plans.
However, the drawing was carried out in front of everyone’s eyes. Even if Elder Wen wanted Duan Hen to put it back now, he would never dare to do so.
Once he put it back, it meant exposing the unfairness of the Twilight City. And not mentioning that the Twilight City might be disqualified, their reputation would also probably go down the drain.
This was absolutely unacceptable to Elder Wen!
Elder Wen was now riding a tiger that he couldn’t get off of and could only watch his plans completely shatter.
He would have never dreamed that his calculations happened to be in line with what Shen Yanxiao wanted. If not for Elder Wen’s wicked heart, even if Shen Yanxiao had tampered with the crystal b.a.l.l.s, it still wouldn’t be so easy to achieve what she wanted. After all, after Geng Di, Duan Hen would draw first before Shen Yanxiao, and Duan Hen had a certain chance to pick the same crystal ball as Geng Di.
The strangeness on Duan Hen’s face disappeared in an instant. He stood silently while bowing his head down, but there was a hidden trace of a smile and happiness in his eyes.
Regardless of what was happening, at least, he liked this ending.
