Chapter 31 - The crown game ends...

Amelia started falling behind the crowd of regulars as She discreetly made her way towards the crown. Nobody seemed to notice her as they all attacked Khun instead.

It wasn't any trouble at all for Amelia to reach the crown and pick it up but just as she did so, A loud shout came from the thrown.

"Oh, it seems like you all have a betrayer~" Khun, being able to clearly see Amelia's actions, shouted to get the crowd to focus on Amelia as he was being overwhelmed by them.

Seeing that the crown was taken, all the regulars simultaneously decided to stop torturing Khun and instead focused on Amelia.

One rubbery regular in particular, streched himself towards Amelia as a way to bind her. Amelia dodged initially but the rubber stretched further and moved in a way that Amelia wasn't expecting and got caught. The rubber man then proceeded to take the crown from Amelia and laughed.

Unfortunately for him, the people behind him were now getting paranoid. They decided that it wouldn't be good to let anyone have the crown as that was too risky.

And so, A fight ensured. The rubbery man tried to stop Amelia from taking advantage of her speed while a bat welding regular smacked at the rubbery man's body trying to get the crown to drop. All hell broke lose as all the regulars started either fighting each other or started rushing towards the crown.

And amidst all this chaos, Khun and his team was forgotten... Unfortunately, that was the worst thing they could have done as Khun smirked seeing that no one was paying them any attention. He gestured Baam to sit on the thrown and shouted towards the crown of wild regulars to get their attention as he placed the crown on Baam's head.

This crown was the original crown and the one that the crowd of regulars were fighting over was a fake, cloned crown that Khun had thrown to distract the regulars.

All the regulars were baffled at this as they looked at the scene in front of them but they can't really do anything anymore as Lero ro's voice was heard, marking the end of the third round.

Amin looked at Amelia heading back towards her cell room with a slight smile. He was happy that she was alive and couldn't wait to meet her again.

Though, Amin also realised something... He looked at Androsi for a second before voicing out his thoughts–

"Androsi, Is it fine if we don't win this crown game?" Amin asked.

Amin had realised that if he won the crown game then he would directly advance to the next floor and wouldn't be able to meet with Amelia for a few more weeks.

He wanted to go to Amelia right now and hug her so waiting for a few more weeks wasn't something he was looking forward to. And as such, he decided to ask Androsi if they could just 'Lose' this game.

Amin didn't think even for a second that he would lose the game in normal situation. He had grown quite confident that he can defeat any regular participating in this game so, Amin felt that if he want, he could win this game without any trouble.

But since he want to be with Amelia as soon as possible, He decided to intentionally lose this game. Though he still needed Androsi's permission for that as both of them were a team now.

Androsi looked at Amin for a second before speaking, "Is it because of that girl from earlier?"

Androsi might appear stupid at certain times but originally she is quite an intelligent person. Besides, This conclusion didn't even require her too much brainpower to begin with as she immediately spoke as such.

Amin smiled at her, glad that he didn't had to explain too much as he looked at Androsi giving her an affirmative nod.

"...You simp!" Androsi spoke with a huge smile with some mischievous in her eyes.

Amin felt a lose for words after hearing that as he defended, "I thought she died, you know? of course I wanna meet her. I am not a simp!"

"Yeah... right..." Androsi spoke as her eyebrows raised in disgust but her mouth was still forming a smile though.

"Tch, didn't know you were this kind of man, but I guess I don't have any right to stop you... We can 'intentionally' lose, I guess, if you really want to simp on her so badly..." Androsi looked outside their cell as she spoke.

"Sigh... Thank you..." Amin just sighed after hearing Androsi finally give him an answer.

Though, Amin didn't know that Androsi herself was also thinking about intentionally losing even before Amin had asked. As she had spoken before, She was interested in Anak as her situation was quite unique so seeing as Anak had lost, she was also thinking of somehow losing the game so as to have a better chance at associating with Anak and Amin had just asked her the thing that she actually wanted all along...

Both Amin and Androsi were taken out of their thoughts by the announcer's words as he declared the start of the fourth round.

The fourth round also was quite chaotic as it seemed that Khun had prepared something in advance. The regular that participated in the round started fighting each other for some reason. Though no one knew why they attacked each other instead of fighting Khun's team, Khun's behaviour made it obvious that it was his doing.

Soon, The fourth round also came to an end. The entire round, Khun and his team just relaxed as the regulars just fought each other until the time was up.

A bit after that, Lero Ro asked regulars to press the buzzer if they wanted to participate in the final round of the crown game and he started the countdown.

"5..."

"4..."

"3..."

"2..."

"1..."

*Buzz...*

"0..."

Amin looked at Androsi with raised eyebrows as she pressed the buzzer of their cell room.

"Wouldn't it be better to just not participate entirely instead of losing on purpose?" Amin asked looking at Androsi with questioning eyes.

"Hm... But that isn't fun, is it?" Androsi smirked and started walking out of the cell.

Amin stood up and started walking behind Androsi as well. As soon as they walked a distance away from the cell, The announcement rang, marking the start of the fifth round.

Amin though, wasn't bothered with the start of the fifth round as he looked at one cell in particular... He could see a figure of a woman in that cell holding the bars and looking at him... Though he couldn't see very well in that cell as it was quite dark, Amin knew who this woman was.

Amin smiled slightly as he looked at the woman's shadow in the cell and waved. He couldn't quite see the woman's face so he just assumed that she was also giving him a smile. Though, since he couldn't really see the woman very well, Amin decided to focus on the round first, Even though he had no intention of winning...

Androsi on the other hand, looked around and immediately clicked her tongue.

"Tch, Five teams participated in this round. this means that we hadn't used our 'leverage over one rule' privilege to participate in this round... Kind of a shame..."

The privilege was, that Androsi's team would be able to participate in a round even if the maximum of 5 teams had already entered the round. They had leverage around that rule. But since only 5 teams had participated in this round to begin with, They were not able to use their leverage... It just felt like a waste...

While Androsi was looking through the teams, A woman in a full body latex suit rushed towards two other teams. The two teams saw the latex wearing woman and became alert, unfortunately, just being alert wasn't enough as the Latex wearing woman took both the teams down within a second. They weren't even the slightest bit of trouble for her.

Two of the teams that were participating in the round were defeated just like that. They couldn't even do anything...

Meanwhile, The latex wearing woman's teammates rushed towards Khun and Rak and engaged them in battle.

Both of her teammates were strong enough to hold their own against Khun and Rak so they didn't get defeated as fast as many others.

The latex wearing woman observed the situation for a second and after seeing an opportunity, rushed towards the throne. Rak was standing in front of her but she didn't care and jumped above his head and landed right in front of the throne...

"Baam!"

"Black Turtle!"

Khun and Rak became alerted as they tried to get away from their opponents as they looked at the unfolding events.

"Put that crown down and leave the throne, right now!" The latex wearing woman's voice was heard as Baam just took the Black March in his hand.

"I-I can't do that! It-its..." Baam looked at the woman with a determined expression as he refused.

The latex wearing woman looked at Baam for a second before raising her staff above her head and striking it down.

"So be it..." That was the last thing that was heard before Baam flew away from the throne with a blood streaming from his forehead.

The crown rolled towards Amin and Androsi's direction but stopped after reaching half-way through. Androsi looked at the crown for a moment before looking at the latex wearing woman and smiling.

She had found her opponent. Her 'fun'.

Androsi took out her needle as she started dashing towards the latex wearing woman at extream speed.

The woman looked at Androsi's approaching figure and couldn't help but comment.

"Shouldn't you be taking the crown first?" Androsi had ran straight towards the woman, completely ignoring the crown that was dropped between them. Androsi just straight up ran passed it without even looking at it a second time.

Androsi answered through her needle as she tried to slash right through the woman's chest, only for the woman to dodge.

The latex wearing woman started retreating as she gestured towards her teammates to also retreat.

They were heading back to their cell room. Even though the latex wearing woman was fully capable of fighting Androsi, she just didn't see any need to fight her. After all, Their goal was to eliminate Baam from this game, that was what the Fug wants from them so anything else wasn't important.

Even though Androsi desperately tired to start a clash with the latex woman, The woman just kept retreating and eventually entered her own cell, practically getting disqualified from the round.

Androsi had a complicated expression on her face as she looked at the woman in the cell now... She kinda felt depressed...

Originally, the team that had entered the fifth round were five but the latex woman had defeated two teams all on her own and then also decided to get disqualified... so at the end, there were only two teams remained that were still participating in the fifth round.

Amin looked at the only other team that was left besides them... It was the trio that had survived the first test alongside Androsi and Amin... The trio were also looking towards him, seemingly making a decision of whether to attack him right now or not so as to get the crown...

Amin sighed and looked at Androsi.

"Androsi, let's leave. There is nothing else here..."

Androsi looked at Amin. Still a bit disappointed. But then her eyes landed on the trio as a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

She should have some 'Fun' before leaving right? Though I guess it wouldn't be called fun for the trio... it would just be painfully for them...

Soon the fifth round came to a close and the winner of the fifth round were the trio that had their whole body beaten badly...
