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."
