Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 721

Pearl was more careful in the next round. In the end, she managed to secure a kill from Silas.

"Last round." She winked at him and smiled brightly.

Silas maintained a neutral expression, seemingly untroubled. "We still don't know who's going to win."

Pearl nodded casually.

After Silas was revived, she positioned herself by some grass, waiting for him. However, Silas appeared to have anticipated her move and remained still, as if he were stuck.

Pearl had no choice but to wait.

After a while, she realized that something was amiss. It really was Silas, and he seemed ready to attack her. Just as she activated her skill, Pearl realized her controls were stuck, and her skill was directed at her own crystal... which promptly exploded!

In the final round, Pearl lost 1:2.

Frustrated, she accused Silas, "You played dirty. You farmed resources and used them to push my crystal away."

Silas knew he wasn't going to win, so he took a gamble. However, toward the end, he grasped the extent of Pearl's skills. She hadn't reached the top of the leaderboard for no reason.

Given the circumstances, he decided to use a sneaky tactic, removing her crystal. This way, the match would end in a stalemate, and he wouldn't have to fulfill his promise. What would be the point for him to be at the company if he couldn't see her for a month?

"As they say, 'all is fair in love and war.' If I lose, not being able to speak to you for a month would be unbearable."

His words melted the hearts of the viewers.
