In the chaotic arcade, Bert wasn't interested and couldn't bring himself to play. On the other hand, Alivia patiently accompanied Lucas throughout. They stood in front of the basketball machine, with Lucas' head just about half a head taller than the machine. Alivia put three pieces of game coins in, and the barrier blocking the basketballs rose.
Round basketballs kept dropping to their side, and they picked them up and threw them forward continuously. Unfortunately, their shooting wasn't accurate, and most of the balls were missed. They didn't make many shots in total.
Lucas felt unsatisfied and decided to play two more rounds. This time, the number of successful shots improved, but Alivia ended up sweating a lot.
Bert had been standing by, watching, and indifferently said, "Your skills are too poor."
Lucas and Alivia were speechless.
Both of them turned to look at the person who was making such disdainful remarks, seeing him looking down on them with a haughty expression.
Alivia didn't dare say anything, but Lucas wasn't going to hold back. He raised an eyebrow and defiantly declared, "Humph, Mr. Harper, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you won't score as much as Ms. Graves and me!"
Well said!
Alivia silently cheered for Lucas in her heart.
She had thought that Bert wouldn't pay any attention to his challenge, but to her surprise, he walked straight over and glanced at the basketballs, "What if I win?"
"Then I'll grant you a request!"
"Deal," Bert turned to Alivia and opened his palm.
"What?"
"Game coins."
Is he really going to play?
