Saina watched Wayne intently, speaking of Hefei and referring to him as "teacher" with every other breath. She felt immense envy, wishing she had such an obedient child.
"Saina, I've studied the maps you provided me before. If I'm not mistaken, the higher-ups can arrange competitors, just like how the neighbors of Villa No. 4 are from Villa No. 8—everything is within the higher-ups' control."
Wayne said, "If they arrange for Odilia and me to enter the same map and I defeat her, I will voluntarily withdraw from the Holy Maiden selection."
"It's going to be tough. Flora became the Holy Maiden because the Pope manipulated from behind the scenes. She was discarded because her ambition was too great. Recently, she convinced the Pope to allow one of her students to become one of the candidates the Pope supports. To make room, the Pope gave up on an outstanding candidate that had been groomed for fifteen years."
