Chapter 224: And who created such a dumb tradition?
"Can I help you?" Alice asked, showing no interest whatsoever and Leo let go of her hand.
The black-haired guy stood in front of them with his hands in his pockets. He scanned them properly and then settled his gaze on Alice.
’What’s this guy’s problem? Why is he just staring at me? It’s getting kinda creepy.’ She thought, twisting her lips in contemplation. There was this eerie atmosphere around him and it made her uncomfortable.
He was just standing in front of her, his eyes fixed on her and his thoughts sealed off. Well, one thing was for sure: he wasn’t a hater; if not, she’d hear his thoughts. Then...
’Is he just another attention whore?’ She wondered. ’If so, I think I can throw Leo his way so they can both start a circus or something. I’m busy feeding my eyes with the adorable guy next to me.’
*Hey, don’t lump me with just anyone.* Leo retaliated. *And especially someone so weak.*
’Bleh, what do I care? You’re all attention whores.’
Alice was a bit irked that he was just standing there and saying nothing. Would it be rude if she kicked him far away from them? It would, right?
So, he should hurry up and speak before the rope holding together her patience snapped and she ended up losing it.
"You," he finally spoke up. "Why haven’t you come to challenge me yet?"
One, two, three, four, five... Six. It took Alice six seconds to take in the words this creepy guy said, and when she did, her lips quaked in confusion, and her eyebrows rose in disbelief.
