Rebirth of a Flopped Action Career: First, Love; Second, Revenge

Chapter 226: Truly Talented

As the NPCs dispersed, Olivia looked at Alexander and said, “Eugene, the coast is clear. Please untie the ropes.” Alexander nodded sincerely. After letting go of Olivia, he untied the ropes on her hands.

The production team had tied Olivia’s hands and feet tightly; they resembled a pretzel. Just as Olivia thought she’d soon be free to wreak havoc again…

“Looks like it’s now a dead knot,” Alexander suddenly said.

Olivia raised an eyebrow. She looked down and saw the ropes were even tighter! To make matters worse, the ropes were impossible to break by force. The tangle of ropes on her hand had now become as thick as her pinky finger. They were impossible to undo.

“How did you even do this?” Olivia stared at Alexander, her eyes full of disbelief. Turning a bow knot into a dead knot? He was truly talented!

“I’m not very good at this,” Alexander apologized.

Olivia rolled her eyes. Forget it. The fact that he came to her rescue was already commendable.

She said, “Then untie the ropes on my feet. Don’t rush yourself.”

Alexander smiled. “Alright.”

A minute later, Olivia looked at the pretzel-like knots on her feet. Well done. This was tied even tighter than my hands!

Olivia found it hard to imagine how someone could be so clumsy with untying knots. “You didn’t do this on purpose, did you?”

Alexander looked up at her, a trace of puzzlement in his intense gaze.

“On purpose? What for?”

Olivia sighed. He really didn’t seem to have a reason to do it on purpose. If Eugene harbored any hostility toward her, he wouldn’t have bothered to come to her rescue. After all, being locked up meant she wouldn’t have much screen time anyway.

With his looks alone, he could have stayed outside collecting gold and obtaining plenty of screen time along the way. Could it be his hidden talent?

The show’s audience was laughing hysterically as they watched Olivia be completely immobilized by her teammate.

“Why don’t you find something sharp to cut the ropes?” Olivia said, feeling a headache coming on.

Alexander said as he scooped Olivia up again, “It’s not safe for you to be alone. Let me take you with me.”

“An OP participant is no match for their clingy teammate… Is Eugene seriously not planted by the production team to mess with Olivia? Hahaha.”

“Am I the only one who thinks Eugene and Olivia look great together?”

“Girl, stop. Do you think the first thing Olivia will do once she’s freed is give Eugene a hug?”

“I feel so bad for Olivia for a second, but she looks so cute being carried around by Eugene…”

“I want a princess carry from Eugene too!”

Watching the livestream chat, Vance quietly logged into a throwaway account and typed a message, “Don’t you all think Eugene tied Olivia’s ropes into a dead knot on purpose?”

He suspected that his brother clearly wanted an excuse to keep carrying Olivia, probably to stop her from stripping any more NPCs.

Unfortunately, Vance’s message didn’t catch anyone’s attention. Alexander’s solemn expression and innocent demeanor while carrying Olivia made him seem utterly chivalrous, with no ulterior motives at all.

Olivia looked at the large screens in the Ancient Town showing the status of the fifteen gold locations. Except for two or three locations yet to be found, all the other gold locations had been cleaned out by Shawn and Franklin! Currently, Shawn held nearly a hundred gold, while Franklin had almost two hundred!

Olivia herself had only managed to swindle twelve gold out of Whitney.
