Not far away from where Severin was, Myles, Daniella, and the others were standing together. They were feeling relieved at the same time after hearing what Oskar just said. Myles' mind went blank and he was extremely anxious when Lejeune and the others started attacking Severin.
If Severin lost his points and was disqualified from the competition, then they would all lose all their bets. Before he could make up his mind if he should stand up for Severin, Oskar beat him to it and helped Severin. Since Oskar was on Severin's side and did not have the intention to hold Severin responsible, those who supported Severin did not have to worry anymore.
The arrogant Lejeune could only shut his mouth but everyone could tell he was feeling unhappy with the result from the expression on his face.
Myles decided to speak his mind. "Mister Lejeune, I don't find anything wrong with what Mister Oskar said. Riley never raised a white flag before he died so how could you say Severin killed Riley on purpose?"
He continued sarcastically, "Man, you are really very good at accusing people. Why don't you take into consideration that Riley used all of his power to try to kill Severin before he died?"
The others quickly showed their support by commenting on the matter.
"That's right. I agree too!"
"This is a fighting competition. It's very common that contestant could accidentally kill his opponent."
"Don't tell me you have plans to kill all the contestants who accidentally wounded their opponents?"
