HappyNovelChapter 471 Chapter 471 "What nonsense are you talking about? This is not your place to speak!" Clara scolded sharply.
"Exactly! You're just a mere son-in-law. How dare you speak out? Step back immediately!" The elders of the Strauss family joined in the rebuke.
Cleef silenced everyone and then declared loudly, "Seamus' words are my words." Everyone was shocked. No one expected Cleef to trust Sebastian so much. It was one thing to marry his daughter to him, but allowing him to make such crucial decisions was almost unimaginable, even for a biological son.
"Alright, I'll take the bet!" Flynn agreed without hesitation.
He and Amos thought alike, believing he was the winner.
"Mr. Cleef, you shouldn't have agreed," the esteemed elder said as he sighed.

What kind of spell has he cast on you? Why do you listen to him so much?" Clara asked angrily. Her resolve to eliminate Sebastian grew strong.
"I have my reasons. You'll understand in due time," Cleef replied meaningfully.
No one knew better than him about Sebastian's capabilities. Even he wasn't certain of winning against Sebastian, let alone the younger generation. Even if the younger generation of the three major families joined forces, they might not be a match for Sebastian.
Despite the apparent risk, it was a surefire win.
The competition was about to start. According to tradition, each of the three families sent three participants. Each participant would battle the six from the other two families. Winning a match earned two points, a draw earned one point, and the final rankings were determined by total points.
The top six participants would claim the six medicinal plant farms.
Thus, theoretically, defeating just one person could secure a farm.
The order of the matches was decided by drawing lots. The first match pitted Harold Lorence from the Lorence family against Sophia Claude from the Claude family.
Harold was the cousin of Hugo Lorence. He was the second-strongest, only surpassed by Hugo among the Lorence family's younger generation. He had entered the Grandmaster Realm three years ago and ranked fourth last year. He was extremely good.
Sophia was also not bad. She was Robert's eldest daughter, ranked fifth last year, narrowly losing to Harold.
A year later, it was entirely possible for her to turn the tables, making this match highly anticipated.
After an intense battle, Sophia narrowly defeated Harold, winning the first match and prompting cheers from the Claude family.
In contrast, the Lorence family was very displeased.
Next, the second match began with Hugo facing Artemis, who chose to forfeit.

Despite her desire to fight, Hugo was the top warrior of the younger om generation on Phoenix Island, so she had no chance of winning. It was better for her to forfeit just to conserve her strength. In the third match, Clara faced Ferdinand.
Ferdinand was the cousin of Theo. He was the top warrior of the Claude family's younger generation and ranked second last year.
Clara also chose to forfeit.
In the fourth match, it was Sebastian's turn to fight against Marc Lorence from the Lorence family.
Marc was the weakest of the three participants from the Lorence family, ranking seventh last year. Despite this, no one had high hopes for oher Sebastian, whom they all viewed him as just making up the numbers.
Marc shared this belief, exuding confidence as he stepped into the om battle ring with his hands behind his back. He said arrogantly, "Kid, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. Just surrender and get lost!"
