Cathryn waited, but Marion stood there like a wall, silent.

"I... I've got a class. Gotta go," she stammered, taking off.

Drake asked, "You into her?"

"Nope," Marion said.

"Why took her gift then?" Drake pressed.

"It's yours now." Marion tossed the chocolates to him, heading to the dorm.

Drake didn't read the foreign text, but the fancy package said it all.

"What does Miss Bernard like about you?" he muttered. "You should ditch this and be a gigolo. You'd make bank."

He finished the entire bar in a minute.

Robert frowned. "Too many sweets give you cavities."

"Never heard of it." Drake shrugged.

There were plenty of skilled and capable people in the organization, but there was only one slot. Their team was most likely to produce the successor.

"Fair game. Beat me, and it's yours," Marion replied, walking out.

Robert stayed silent. He didn't really want to be the heir. He knew he wasn't cut out for it. But they had to go all in.

Drake frowned. "What's his deal? He's treating us like rivals now?"

"Taking out another team is just a matter of time," Robert explained. "In the end, it's us three in a showdown. From now on, we will go our own ways."
