But Bianca White didn’t expect the first person to rebut her would be Patrick Sullivan, who used to stand on the same front as her.
"The prodigy is a once-in-a-millennium genius. Her joining our team is the result of three lifetimes’ worth of blessings for us all. At a time , we should risk everything to protect her. How can we, based solely on imagination and conjecture, let her participate in the boxing match?"
That’s right, Patrick Sullivan had been completely won over by July Quinn’s shooting skills and was full of thoughts of wanting to be her apprentice.
At this moment, he would not allow anything to happen to July Quinn.
"Yes, I also think we can’t be so reckless. Helmsman Grant, you absolutely must confirm this with the officials again!"
Walter Wright also cherished this genius July Quinn very much, and immediately made a suggestion to Thomas Grant.
Bianca White feared any change in the situation concerning July Quinn’s participation and quickly raised an objection.
"Things decided by the officials are not something Grant can influence. I think we shouldn’t make things difficult for Grant."
Seeing the three express their opinions, Thomas Grant felt quite troubled.
"Before I came, I had repeatedly confirmed with the officials, and it wasn’t them who submitted July Quinn’s name."
"It surely couldn’t be July Quinn who signed herself up, right?"
"I don’t think the prodigy would be foolish enough to walk into a trap herself, it seems more like someone else set up a pit for her..."
Walter Wright and Patrick Sullivan consecutively refuted.
Especially Patrick Sullivan, as he spoke the last sentence, he cast a sidelong glance at Bianca White.
Bianca White, who was fully absorbed in the conversation, was eager to facilitate July Quinn’s participation and was suddenly incensed upon noticing Patrick Sullivan’s suggestive look.
"Are you suspecting that I set her up?"
"Wasn’t it you? I remember you’ve been supporting the prodigy’s participation in the match from the start!"
Patrick Sullivan outright stated the obvious.
"With heaven and earth as my witness, why would I set such a trap for her?"
Of course, if Bianca White had thought of a way to set such a trap for July Quinn, she wouldn’t mind setting it.
But in fact, before Thomas Grant informed them, Bianca White hadn’t considered this perfect pitfall that could terminate July Quinn in her tracks without dirtying her hands.
That’s why she felt so wronged when Patrick Sullivan questioned her.
But her defense only prompted Patrick Sullivan to accuse her more harshly: "You swore time and again to shine in the shooting competition, but the prodigy’s appearance completely overshadowed you. So you wanted to get rid of the prodigy, and came up with a way to eliminate a strong opponent in the next two matches without dirtying your hands!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovelHub(.)net
"Then you also wanted to stand out in this international competition but were overshadowed by July Quinn, right? So can I suspect you wanted to eliminate July Quinn and thought of this vicious plan to kill off your opponent?"
Bianca White refused to be outdone and threw the same accusation back at Patrick Sullivan.
"It’s true I was overshadowed, but I was completely won over by the prodigy’s outstanding performance and want to be her apprentice! Both Vice Helmsman Wright and Helmsman Grant have witnessed this firsthand."
Patrick Sullivan, to clarify his stance, even dragged Thomas Grant and Walter Wright into it.
Bianca White immediately retorted, "Who knows if you’re pretending to want to be an apprentice on the surface while secretly wishing to get rid of her as soon as possible!"
Seeing the two about to get into a fight, Thomas Grant felt quite troubled.
"Can we not rush into internal strife? I’ve found out that the registration was confirmed by July Quinn herself."
