Chapter 987: Chapter 471: Don’t Overinterpret (Second Update, 900+ Monthly Tickets)_2

The Peony group accepted their defeat graciously.

Just from that final lash by Lawrence Winters, they conceded.

Four people came over and bowed to her, saying, "Lawrence, you’re too formidable—we four have lost. You truly deserve to advance to the second round."

"Thank you for letting me win, my fellow practitioners," Lawrence Winters bowed back, displaying a distinctly roguish demeanor once again.

The host finally noticed William lying motionless on the grass, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Blythe, Ms. Blythe, your nephew..."

Mr. Blythe cast him a glance and said coldly, "Report it to the police; we don’t know what’s happened to him."

Lawrence Winters’ heart skipped a beat.

Just earlier, Mr. and Ms. Blythe insisted on not calling the police, yet now that Alice Blythe was safe, they decided to involve the authorities.

Ms. Blythe also said, "Could we have a copy of the drone footage concerning William from earlier? When the police arrive, we’ll need it to prove our innocence."

Originally, without William’s signing, the drone shouldn’t have captured him.

But due to the sudden occurrence and the life-threatening situation, the director seized an opportunity, maneuvering the drone to capture everyone in front of the manor.

However, the footage regarding William hadn’t been broadcast.

Lawrence Winters suddenly raised her head, seemingly grasping something.

Ms. Blythe went to her side and deeply bowed, saying, "Great Heavenly Master Winters, retribution comes to those who act unjustly. You’ve achieved that. I knew you could save my daughter, and ensure evildoers meet their fate through their own deeds."

She stressed the words "meet their fate" heavily, aligning with what Lawrence Winters suspected.

The Blythe couple must have known about their daughter’s plight, but perhaps realized it too late.

The manipulating force employed not only a Geomantic Formation and Suppression Technique but also Black Magic!

Members of the Celestial Path Sect can untangle Geomantic Formations and exorcise Suppression Techniques, but those who can curb Black Magic are extremely few.

This is because Black Magic requires external "Holy Light" for its eviction.

Even Lawrence Winters herself was unaware that her Soft Whip could emit "Holy Light"...

Because of this, the Blythe couple didn’t want police involvement, as it wouldn’t help.

Should they expect exorcism, or rely on Holy Light?

However, the most crucial aspect, Lawrence Winters speculated, was addressing William.

What William did to Alice Blythe couldn’t be legally punished.

So, they hoped he would "meet his fate through his own heedlessness."

Only then could Alice Blythe truly be saved.

In a flash, Lawrence Winters understood the whole situation, and with a thoughtful nod, she remarked, "Ms. Blythe, what a tactic. It feels like we’re pieces on a grand chessboard. You and Mr. Blythe are the true players."

Ms. Blythe’s expression turned oddly.

She smiled at Lawrence Winters for a moment and said, "No, we aren’t the players; we’re also pieces. Great Heavenly Master Winters is the one playing."

Mr. Blythe also bowed to her, sincerely saying, "Great Heavenly Master Winters, thank you for saving our Alice."

Lawrence Winters still harbored some doubts, gently probing, "Could you tell me who recommended me to you? Was it Mr. Evan Stetford?"

She knew, given how well the Blythes knew her, they were certainly prepared; they wouldn’t have chosen her just by watching a live broadcast.

It was possible that even before she participated in the competition, they had already planned everything.

Lawrence had checked the time Mr. Stetford arranged the competition, and she hadn’t even known it existed at the time...

This meant that when the Blythes sought the Celestial Path Sect’s help, Lawrence Winters couldn’t have been a contestant.

Yet she recalled, it was Evan Stetford who informed her about the competition.

If it was through Evan Stetford, many things would make sense.

Initially, Lawrence Winters believed Evan Stetford wouldn’t give her special favors, but now she was doubtful.

The Blythes shook their heads and said, "It wasn’t Mr. Stetford; he knew nothing."

Lawrence Winters raised an eyebrow.

If it wasn’t Evan Stetford, then there must be a powerful figure behind the Blythes.

Someone who not only foresaw her ability to save Alice but also knew she would participate in the Celestial Path Sect World Cup Grandmasters’ Competition, even before she decided to enter.

To Lawrence Winters, this was not particularly mysterious.

Those adept in The Book of Changes Eight Diagrams, Plum Blossom Divination System, and various prophecy techniques can also predict.

Ancient sages spoke of "knowing before predicting," referring to prophets—a realm beyond divination practitioners.

Lawrence Winters determined that the person behind the Blythes was certainly a powerful diviner, perhaps even a "prophet."
