Chapter 233: Where Did Eugene Go?
The NPCs were puzzled to hear Olivia’s words: “Young lady, your mind sure works very differently!” An extra said, as a few of his mates glared at Olivia, “Don’t you worry, we’ll make you feel so safe you’ll never forget it.” They had already planned out their shifts, determined to guard the cell, day or night, regardless. Eugene can forget about rescuing Olivia!
Seeing how fired up the young NPCs were, Olivia punched the air casually and said, “Good luck.” Under the tight security of the NPCs, and being in possession of 180 pieces of gold, Olivia lay on the bed calmly.
The cameras were still rolling; Franklin and Shawn were still out there engaged in fierce competition, while Olivia was sleeping soundly in the bed. Seeing that everything was finally going smoothly, Tobie finally felt his nerves relax. This is how the show is supposed to be!
However, Tobie soon sensed that something was amiss. Night had fallen, but they seemed to be missing one of their guests. “Where has Eugene gone?” Tobie checked every camera in the ancient town, but Eugene was nowhere to be seen. But it can’t be; he was just wreaking havoc with Olivia in broad daylight! “Eugene better not be cooking up some ridiculous stunt for me again.” A pang of worry suddenly hit Tobie.
The camera panned to the cell that Olivia was in. As soon as Tobie saw two tall, strong-looking NPCs standing guard in front of the cell, and saw eight more surrounding it, he felt at ease once more. Unless Eugene has the power to turn invisible, there’s no way he’s going to be able to rescue Olivia!
Morning soon came, and the rays of the sun hit the ground once again. The game would soon come to an end. In just one night, the other guests experienced a drastic change in the amount of gold they held. Franklin copied Olivia’s trick step by step and managed to trick Shawn into getting captured, then he used the time and opportunity gained from sending Shawn and Whitney into the cell to snatch all of the…
Chapter 24: Where Did Eugene Go?
Not if Olivia remains locked up in the cell; I’ll be the ultimate winner of this episode. When it was finally time to calculate their scores, the best of the show deliberately chose to move the scene to where Olivia was locked up. Aside from Olivia, who was still in the cell, as well as Eugene, who was still nowhere to be seen, the remaining four guests were already standing outside the cell, waiting for the final score to be announced.
Meanwhile, in the livestream, the viewers typed away in the live comments section. “Talk about backfiring plans, Olivia is the perfect example.” “And here I thought that Olivia was OP as hell, but she still ended up caged in the end. Now everyone is back, but she is still caged. Unless Eugene can turn invisible, or else there’s no way Olivia is getting out of there!” “All you Olivia fans, where are you now?” “Franklin is the undisputed champion!” “Am I the only one wondering where Eugene has gone to? Ever since Olivia got captured, the cameras never cut to him anymore.” “Poor Eugene, it’s his first time on the show, but he’s already forced to share the burn and hate Olivia is receiving.”
The host finally announced, “It’s most unfortunate, but we are still unable to get in touch with Eugene. It’s now almost time to calculate the scores; if Eugene is unable to show up in time, it will count as a forfeit for him.” “Whether or not he shows up won’t change anything, am I right?” Franklin, who was placed first again, said. His gaze fell on Olivia, who was still in the cell, then briefly onto the two NPCs that guarded it. He then continued sarcastically, “Looks like your friends won’t be able to save you this time.” He recalled how badly Olivia had tricked him on the day before and could not feel any more satisfied seeing her in such a state at that moment.
Olivia lifted the bag full of gold onto her shoulder, then raised her eyes to look at Franklin, who was smiling smugly at her. “Seems like this is as far as your mind can stretch.”
