Chapter 896: They have to
How this betting suddenly turned into something unexpected was something everyone took time to process. However, when the crowd realized this was no joke, cheers and roars erupted throughout the open court. Some even felt the seats and floors tremble as the excitement reached an all-time high.
Some people thought Penny was a madwoman—arrogant, even. Others wondered if Penny had any regrets, because the betting happened before the game, not during or after. Those were the minority of the crowd.
The rest?
All they could think was that Penny knew how to make things interesting. Be it in the past or now, she was the person who had always started things that diverted the entire school’s attention or gave them something fun to look forward to.
She was the one who started the bet Atlas had with the Star Section students, which many were interested in. Although she wasn’t the one who had started the bet between the basketball team and Max in the past, she contributed to it because of what she had started.
Today was no different.
It was just that, instead of her allowance, she had dauntingly raised the stakes to an entirely different level.
Those who had bet on Max’s team cheered even more fiercely, shouting to raise the team’s morale.
"Team Max! Take them all down!"
"Don’t let them make a score!"
