Chapter 62: Fireballs 2
Meanwhile, on the other side, Cedric’s entourage was at it again. "It’s just third place. Do they have to look like they won an Oscar’s?"
"They’re lousy. Of course, they would be happy about such lousy achievements."
But was it lousy, really? Even though the reward for the third place wasn’t that impressive, it meant a lot to many people, especially Ah Chen, to whom art was just a minor he was doing to pass the time. In fact, no matter what prize he won, it was inferior to a single word of congratulations from Li Lanni. Why would he mind?
"Next up, the second place is number 24." The screen displayed number 24’s 301 votes.
Cedric sneered. Damn it! How could he only get one vote more than Ah Chen’s? That was worse than losing, alright?
His streak of bad luck was going a little overboard, huh.
To evade his humiliation, he didn’t stand. He would rather forfeit his award than go up the stage and accept that he just got one more vote than Ah Chen. It was second place anyway, and he didn’t care about anything that wasn’t first.
Si Yulin looked displeased by Cedric’s rude behavior. But when she saw the winner’s entry, her face lit up.
"The grand winner is Fireballs by number 15! Congratulations." The screen showed number 15’s 605 votes. The votes actually doubled!! Cedric was infuriated. It was like a slap across his handsome face.
