Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 100 A Bolt From The Blue

Bottles were scattered on the ground as if they were precious gold.

Everyone rushed to grab them.

One minute later, it all came to an end.

The bottles on the ground were divided, and the bags on both sides were filled to the brim.

"It's about time. Let's go back first."

Kaylee glanced at the bags on both sides. They seemed evenly matched, and it was impossible to tell who had more or less with the naked eye.

The last round had too many bottles, and the people from the dance club were too cunning. The number they picked up should be no less than ours.

On the way back, Violeta noticed that Hayden and Liam were missing.

She approached Zoren and asked, "Zoren, where are Hayden and Liam?"

Zoren had been so focused on grabbing bottles that he didn't even notice Hayden and Liam. If it weren't for Violeta's reminder, he might have completely forgotten about them. Zoren looked back and indeed did not see Hayden and Liam. "Are they missing? I don't know. Let's give them a call."

Jasper said, "They left just a moment ago. They didn't say where they were going. Don't worry. Let's go back to the venue and count the bottles. They might come back soon."

...

Before long, everyone returned to the gaming venue.

At this point, most of the items on the gift stalls had been exchanged.

Members from the dance club and the tennis club walked over in a large group, drawing the attention of others. People gathered around to see what was happening.

The members of the student council were keeping track of time. "Time's up! The game is over."

Kaylee and her senior placed the bags filled with mineral water bottles on the table.

On the dance club's side, two people came forward to place their bags. Two bags resembling small mountains were placed on the table, eliciting gasps from the onlookers. "Wow, they've collected a lot of bottles!"

"At first glance, it doesn't seem like there's much difference. They both have quite a lot."

"They're really impressive to have picked up so many bottles."

"They must have broken the record."
