Franklin, having just cleared a gold spot, happened to pass by Olivia and Alexander. He smirked as he saw them together. “Unbelievable. Someone actually prioritized rescuing their teammate?”

He glanced at Alexander, scrutinizing the newly joined participant. Despite being supremely confident in his own appearance, Franklin couldn’t help but treat Alexander’s looks as a huge threat. Alexander’s simply too dazzling!

He went on, “You’re the new guy, right? You spent the entire morning rescuing Olivia. Now, almost all fifteen gold spots have been cleared. Even though you saved her, all the gold’s long gone.”

With the intention of intimidating Alexander, Franklin purposefully glanced at the heavy sack he was carrying, then at Olivia. He said lastly, “Your new teammate doesn’t seem to know how to play the game. What a shame he’s already heading for failure right at the beginning of his time here. Sadly, for someone so handsome, he probably won’t get much screen time.”

Olivia squinted. “I think you’re right.”

Franklin was surprised that Olivia suddenly agreed with him.

Olivia looked at Alexander and smiled. “Eugene here is indeed very handsome, unlike you… The moment you step out into the world, not a soul can be seen for miles, and all the animals want to flee from your hideousness.”

Franklin twitched. This was the first time anyone had insulted his appearance like this. Before he could speak, Olivia cut him off, “Look at your face. Nothing on it seems right. If you’re jealous of Eugene’s looks, just say so. Beauty is a gift from heaven, and heaven seems to have overlooked you entirely.”

Franklin almost spat out blood. ‘Olivia, what nonsense is this? Who says I’m not good-looking? Are you blind?’

Olivia shot Franklin a disdainful glance. “Your looks defy human imagination. The more I look at them, the more my eyes hurt.”

Then, her gaze fell right on Alexander’s face. “Now, this is a sight for sore eyes.”

Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly. Does my disguise look good to her?

Franklin slapped his forehead, feeling like Olivia was born to go against him. For crying out loud, someone shut Olivia up!

In the two times they’d met, Franklin had never gotten the upper hand against Olivia! “Turns out women and petty people are impossible to reason with! I won’t stoop to your level! Besides, you’re the one tied up, not me! Let’s see if you’re still laughing when the results are out tomorrow!”

Unable to outwit Olivia, Franklin stormed off.

Olivia watched Franklin leave them and smirked. ‘Do you know what an ultimate wage slave is?’

“Maybe?” Alexander noticed the mischievous glint in Olivia’s eyes. She was no longer awkward or cunning like earlier. The Olivia before him now was brimming with mischief, like a treasure trove that never ran dry.

Searching around for a long time, Alexander finally found a broken piece of tile and used it to cut up the ropes.

Now freed of the ropes, Olivia started to think her new teammate might not be entirely unreliable. Carrying the pile of ropes she’d just been freed from, she scavenged some more ropes from elsewhere in the Ancient Town.

“Are you planning to tie up all the NPCs?” Alexander asked, looking at Olivia clutching a bundle of ropes.

Olivia grinned slyly. “No. Today, I’m going after someone else.”
