She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 325

After a quick 15-minute break, the Messenger returned downstairs and addressed the crowd, saying, "The participant with an IQ of 199 scored four gold cards in the first round and cleared five rounds in the second round, giving them a total of nine gold cards, which puts

them in first place."

Everyone's gaze shifted to Athena, their eyes filled with envy.

With a smile, the Messenger continued, "This brilliant participant not only gets to take home their nine gold cards but can also make a request that matches their intellect."

He paused for dramatic effect before adding, "You can make your request here in front of everyone or privately if you prefer."

Athena locked eyes with the Messenger and decided to take the plunge. "I'll make my request right here," she said confidently. She continued, "I want to know what you look like."

It was a surprisingly simple request, yet it ignited a wave of whispers among the onlookers.

"An IQ of 199, and this is how they choose to spend their moment? Just to see the Messenger's face?"

"They must have everything they need; they're not even trying to get something useful out of this event."

"If they could just show his face, would the Messenger still be hiding behind that mask? This request could put them in a tough spot. How intriguing."

The focus shifted back to the Messenger, who stood silent for a few seconds, weighing their options.

Then, the Messenger stepped forward, closing the gap to just half a few inches. Raising their left hand to shield the crowd from view with their flowing sleeve, they pulled down their mask with the right hand and smiled, "Did you get a good look?"

Even though the lighting was dim, Athena's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the Messenger's features.

To her shock, the Messenger was...
