203 Her money was on the line again!

It was no secret that Max and the rest of the basketball team had a complicated relationship. Max never trained with them and oftentimes in their practice play, things usually get heated. Although the team always won almost all games with Max and Hugo on the team, everyone knew every member was essential. O

Not to mention the captain.

"One more thing why I found this team pathetic is because you chose that loser as the captain.”

The basketball team stopped once more, and slowly, they faced Max again. This time, their faces were not just gloomy and annoyed. Their faces looked darker and somehow Penny's surroundings dimmed. This is intense!'Penny mentally gasped. Even my surroundings turned dark with just this!'

Just as that thought crossed her mind, she felt a light tap on her shoulder. When she turned, her eyes caught Atlas's plain face looking down at her.

"First Brother?" she murmured, realizing the reason her surroundings suddenly went dim. z

Atlas didn't say or do any other expression as he stood beside her and lifted his eyes to the drama. Penny cleared her throat and watched this as well with interest. Although Hugo was there, she found it interesting to watch a drama that didn't involve her.

"You..." one member of the basketball team scoffed. "You bastard...! How dare you?"

"Max, are you really looking for a fight?" another one took a step forward, ready to fight..

Another member also took a step forward, his chest out, chin high.

"Guys. The captain, who wasn't also pleased by this, had to squash down his rising anger and stop them. "He's just taunting."

"Max, if you think you're that valuable to the team, why not play alone next game, hmm?" Hugo, who miserably fell into Max's taunting, remarked. "Since you're still bitter at the fact that we chose the captain as captain instead of you, then leave the team."

The captain turned to Hugo and warned. "Hugo, that's enough."

"Captain, we always let this guy off every time!"
