Chapter 227: Just what was going on with her?
’Again?’
Lance stared at his hand. This was the third time with Alice and... He looked up at her... He had won again.
At first, given that he had no idea what they were planning, he decided to let her attempt it. Even if she won the first one, he was confident that he would win the rest without a sweat.
But as soon as the referee made the call for the first round, no one moved. Alice, who had no idea what Lance had been planning, figured out right away that he wanted her to win the first bout.
"Ah," she exclaimed, feeling she had misjudged him. "What’s the problem? Aren’t you going to try to win?"
The smirk on her lips told him that, just like Leo, she had no plans of winning this.
"Well, if that’s the case, let me lend you a hand." She tightened her grip on his, and then, when he thought she was going to finally make a move to win, she took his hand and pulled back with so much force that one would think Lance had taken action and beat her.
Lance was speechless. She had used her own strength to lose. The action just now was so fast and so... Shocking. How could she have taken his hand back till hers reached the desk? What sort of stunt was that?
"Well, it looks like I lost the first round. Two more, I guess." Alice said, releasing his hand and he looked at his hand, still stunned.
Her grip on his hand left her prints all over. His pale hand was red and his palm throbbed.
Such strength. And to think she used it to lose.
