Chapter 923

A slew of scenes quickly flashed through Alexander Foster’s mind—

"She used your name as an excuse to see me; looks like, she has a crush on me."

"Girls often don’t say what they mean."

"It’s normal for her to make this request since she likes me."

When Chloe Collins noticed his abrupt silence and somewhat strange expression, she asked, "What’s... what’s going on with you?"

Alex’s eyes refocused and he said resolutely, "Nothing."

It was definitely something...

Without pressing further, Chloe put her chopsticks down and returned to their original topic, concisely summarizing what she had just said.

"We have to retrieve what they have in their hands."

Alex pondered for a moment, then responded, "Wait until they present the winner with the prize. I’ll create a diversion then. You seize the opportunity to grab the item while I cover our escape."

"Ok."

After a moment of thought, Chloe said, "We’ll use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain."

"Eh?"

She slightly lifted her mobile phone, adding, "I’ve gotten in touch with Wanda Wesley."

Alexander understood her meaning the instant he shifted his gaze to her.

Once their discussion concluded, they continued to observe the situation on stage.

Their competitors had dwindled quite a bit; including them, there were currently six pairs.

The host announced that challenging high-difficulty kissing postures would result in bonus time.

The longer the time consumed in the contest, the more advantageous it was.

If one person lifted the other, it would add ten minutes.

Standing on one leg would add five minutes.

As soon as these rules were stated, the six pairs of spouses immediately shifted their postures, each in their own unique style.

There were princess-style lifts, bear hugs, back lifts, and turning heads for a quick peck.

Seeing this, that pair of male partners grew restless.

The moment their opponents switched positions, their calculated time also increased.

At the moment, they were the pair with the least time.

One of the men straightforwardly copied the others, employing a koala-style embrace, grabbing the other party like a koala grabs a tree, thus increasing their points and extending the duration of their pose.

Five minutes later, the couple going for the most challenging kiss forfeited the game, collected two packs of heart-shaped paper napkins, and exited the competition.

Only five couples were left.

The audience watched with great interest, betting that the next losers would be this pair of same-sex spouses.

As the person responsible for holding up their partner, his calf was already shaking.

Among the others, the sturdiest were those standing on one leg, because the lifting partner had the lifted leg resting on his own leg to alleviate some of the burden.

After another three minutes, there were only two pairs left!

Just at that moment, tiny pebbles shot out from somewhere, which ordinary people wouldn’t notice.

They all flew straight towards the most stable couple.

As expected, that couple lost.

The woman was hollering about who kicked her leg, but nobody believed her.

Alex said, "We’re surrounded on four sides—North, South, East, and West."

"Hmm, at least twenty people," Chloe determined, judging by the direction the stones had flown from.

The audience was in an uproar as the pair of male partners quickly separated and raised their hands in celebration.

The very next second, all the electronic screens around them showed their figures, and the host ushered them over for an interview.

While facing the camera, they both reached into their shirts and took out a unique necklace.

The necklace held a small bottle, filled with a dark green liquid.

They deliberately twirled the bottle around, smiling at the camera.

Just then, a whip lashed out towards them, and with a swift swish, one of them was rapidly ensnared by the whip around the wrist and dragged away before anyone could react.

The very next second, half of the spotlights in the entire venue suddenly went out. The audience erupted into pandemonium, screaming and scattering away.

With a few swooshing sounds, people from the North, South, East, and West immediately started chasing after the person who had initiated the whip attack.
