Agares stared at the wooden crate in front of him. Using a wooden crate wasn’t Blair’s style. It felt more like Blake’s. “Open it and take a look.”
“Yes, sir!” Carlos squatted down and carefully opened the box.
Agares narrowed his eyes and looked inside. There were thick wooden boards inside. One side was smooth, and the other side was ridged like steps. Each board was about eight to ten inches wide and around 20 to 28 inches long.
Next to the boards were two durians. They were yellowish, uncracked, and completely intact. A piece of paper was pressed under the durians.
Agares bent down, nudged the durians aside, picked up the note, and unfolded it. After reading it, he crumpled the paper and said in a deep voice, “All of you listen up. Today, the bottom 52 runners will stand on the ridged washboards and the durians and hand-wash clothes for the winners!”
The people who were still running stumbled the moment they heard this. One fall caused another, and many people tripped and went down.
They didn’t know what a ridged washboard was, but they had secretly watched Sylvara’s livestreams before, so they knew exactly what durians were.
If they stood on durians, their feet would be ruined.
And after their feet were ruined, they still had to hand-wash clothes.
Isn’t Commander Vaelor being way too cruel?
Carlos looked completely confused.
What is going on?
He had tried to be smart, but it backfired badly.
Carlos trembled as he reached out and picked up a ridged washboard. He asked carefully, “Commander Vaelor, this board is called a ridged washboard, right? Isn’t it used for washing clothes? If people only stand on it, isn’t that kind of a waste?”
Agares rolled the note in his hand and fixed Carlos with a sharp look, his eyes flashing. “You’re right. It would be a waste to stand on it only after two hours. Since you’ve already picked one, you can start standing on it now. After two hours, write a 2,000-word reflection by hand and give it to me.”
Carlos had nothing to say.
He had made things even worse for himself.
What was written on that note?
Who sent these things to Commander Vaelor?
Ah!
I’m really an idiot.
19.33 Sat, Jan Tu

No. I’m a total idiot!
“Kid, drink some tea!”
“Kid, eat some candy!”
“Kid, take a nutrition supplement!”
“Kid, drink some honey lemon! I barely managed to grab this!”
“Kid, eat some meat!”,
“Kid, here’s a small cannon. Blast anyone you don’t like!
“Kid, here’s a small gun. If you don’t like someone, just shoot them!”

Sylvara sat in her seat, surrounded by people. Every one of them had fair skin, good looks, long legs, and bold personalities.
Sylvara smiled with curved eyes. Her smile was pure and innocent, making all the bandits soften. They kept giving her food, drinks, and weapons.
In no time, a pile of things stacked up in front of her. Sylvara looked at them and swallowed. She spoke softly, “Everyone…”
“You can call us Daddy!”
“You can call us Mommy!”
People shouted at the same time.
Sylvara froze.
What is going on?
Are these people just weird, or is my innocent image too convincing, so they think I’m weak and need countless Daddies and Mommies to protect me?
Sylvara blinked and looked toward Simeon.
When Simeon saw her asking for help, he casually flipped his hair and stretched out one long leg, planting it on the table. “Who do you think you are? With faces like yours, you think you deserve such a cute daughter?”
“Yes…”
Simeon cut them off and gave them no chance to speak. “You don’t deserve it. So, stop getting ideas about her, or I won’t let you off.
