Chapter 324
Athena was not one to hesitate often.
But this time, she paused for three seconds before finally admitting, "Noah Anderson."
Her mentor was a closely guarded secret, known only to her and no one else.
She could have lied, but that would mean she couldn't handle the game.
A genius's pride wouldn't let her back down, even in something as trivial as this.
It seemed all the other bright minds in the room felt the same way.
As her words lingered, the others exchanged glances, silently questioning why they had never heard of such an impressive person before. The game pressed on.
In the eighth round, the Messenger spun the pointer and the wheel once more, landing on Athena again.
By now, it was clear to everyone that the Messenger was specifically targeting her.
The question from the wheel was, "What does your mentor do?"
Athena replied coolly, "No comment."
The wheel shot back, "Game over. Please accept your punishment.
"You need to take off three pieces of clothing and stand outside for ten minutes."
Athena's jaw dropped.
It wasn't just the thought of standing outside in the freezing winter air for ten minutes; it was the idea of stripping off three layers.
She wasn't wearing much to begin with-if she took off her black robe, warm jacket, and thermal top, she'd be left in nothing but her underwear. How embarrassing!
Just then, Matthew chimed in, "According to the rules, someone else can take her punishment, right?"
The wheel confirmed, "Yes."
Without a moment's hesitation, Matthew said, "I'll take her punishment."
He stood up, calmly and confidently peeling off his black robe, then his suit jacket, and finally his white shirt.
Everyone watched, entranced.
