The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 92

Percy was about to head downstairs when he noticed the silence coming from the stairwell. But just then, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw that Lily had finished early and was coming down.

He raised an eyebrow, and after recalling what he'd just overheard, his gaze toward her became significantly more intriguing.

Lily froze when she saw Percy. Did he finish his paper early? Damn it!

She quickly walked over, flashing what she believed was her most charming smile. She tried to sound casual and asked, "Percy, how did you do on the test?"

Percy crossed his arms, a knowing smile tugging at his lips as he glanced at her. "Definitely better than you."

Lily felt her heart tighten, almost unable to keep her smile intact. "Oh really? Then you must be confident about winning first place, right?"

"Of course?" Percy's lips curled into a sly grin. "Did you manage to finish the last bonus question?"

Lily chuckled. "I did, luckily. I had already worked through Mr. Lancaster's practice papers, and one of the questions was the same type as the bonus one.

"I heard that the Elite Math Tournament didn't include any of Mr. Lancaster's questions, but he somehow managed to predict the bonus question. That's impressive."

Percy could tell there was a lot of bragging in her words. She still thought that only she and Jonah had worked through Caius' practice papers. Percy almost didn't want to spoil it for her after seeing her so pleased with herself.

But he couldn't resist smirking. "Mr. Lancaster did indeed give a similar question, but the method to solve it is different. His question was more challenging, and it required using the substitution method with an indefinite integral.

"But the bonus question was a bit simpler. Using substitution would have made it more complicated. You actually needed to use the integration-by-parts method… Uh, are you okay?"

Lily's face grew paler with every word he spoke. She forced a smile and asked, "Did you also do Mr. Lancaster's practice papers?"

Percy nodded casually. "Of course, it's not a big deal. It's not just me, though. Scarlett did even more than I did."

He emphasized the point. "Scarlett is way better than I am. She solved those difficult problems in less than five minutes. Mr. Lancaster even praised her as a real prodigy!"
