Chapter 166: The Second Dessert

Ka the Octopus's words cut through the players' hopeful fantasy of enjoying a harmonious dessert round like a cruel blade.Robin tentatively asked, "Um...do I have to use this card?"

"Of course," Ka the Octopus replied mercilessly, shattering her hopes. "If you don't use it by the time everyone finishes their desserts, the card will be 'randomly activated.'"

Ka the Octopus said this with a beaming smile. Robin's expression darkened upon hearing this.

Currently, besides her and Lin Yu, everyone else had at most two ropes remaining.

In other words...

This card would allow Robin to choose two people to immediately sever all their ropes.

And Robin didn't have the courage to choose herself either.

After all...

If she were left with only two ropes while someone else obtained a similar Scissors Card, it would undoubtedly...

Mean she was handing her fate over to others.

So Robin clutched the card tightly, lost in thought.

She seemed to be psyching herself up.

Noticing Robin's state, Lin Yu immediately spoke up. "You don't have to use the card right away... The deadline is after the dessert round ends anyway. Let's see what cards others get before deciding."

"There might be more than just this type of card," Lin Yu added in a low voice.

Hearing this, Robin came to her senses. "That makes sense."

She then tightened her grip on the card and fell silent.

But Robin wasn't the only one feeling heavy-hearted.

Ka the Octopus's words had made everyone realize one thing...

This round definitely wasn't based on "cooperation."

The "cards" others obtained could very well become blades pointed at themselves.

Perhaps instead of helping others, interfering when they tried to pass the challenge was the right move!urned unfriendly.

Hearing this, Lin Yu burst out laughing: "That would make things even more interesting - I'd like you even more and look forward even more to you actually doing such a thing!"

"Prove me wrong...that my judgment about you was mistaken!"

His gaze burned with unmistakable intensity as he looked at Fish, his tone fervent.

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Fish scratched her head. "You're really crazy...fine, you win."

"I really wouldn't target you. If I had to choose two people to cut ropes, I already know who I'd pick."

Hearing this, Phantom stroked his chin. "Oh? And who might that be?"

Li Hua shot him a glance and coldly said, "No need to look, it's obviously the two of us."

Phantom studied Li Hua. "Hah? You Order lapdogs and her Marauders are sworn enemies, so you're a given."

"But us Free Alliance might not be allies with the Marauders, but we're at least on friendly terms...why me?" Phantom asked.

Li Hua coldly replied, "Because you look punchable."

This made Phantom laugh angrily. "What nonsense!"

Phantom turned to Fish. "Hey Fish, this Order bastard's trying to drive a wedge between us!"

Fish coldly looked at Phantom. "Who are you calling 'us'? Soon as I get a card, I'm cutting your ropes and sending you packing."
