Six Brothers Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 24

Alice’s interest was piqued by Jack’s suggestion. They hid in the back, watching as Luke led the team to take down the monsters.

After all, the big boss was tough to beat and required teamwork; by the time they were close to success, everyone was usually on their last legs. Normally, no one dared to snatch the boss from a well–known team like this. But there were exceptions. Alice knew the boss’s attack patterns; she knew the optimal moment to strike.

She and Jack worked seamlessly together and landed the final blow at the perfect time. They successfully snatched the boss away from Luke and Chloe.

The world channel lit up with the announcement: Congratulations to Sweet Lemon for defeating the Peach Blossom Spring Boss!

When Luke saw this outcome, he exploded in anger over the headset, shouting, “What are you all doing? How did they steal the boss?”

Chloe added fuel to the fire, “They were new accounts. Didn’t they know who we are? How dare they steal our boss!”

Luke roared, “Kill them!”

But soon, Luke’s screen went black; and the rest of the team fell to the ground, motionless. Luke stared at the name “Sweet Lemon“, feeling an unsettling familiarity in the way this player fought. It was so much like Alice! Could she have intentionally created a new account to steal his boss? No, Alice couldn’t be that skilled yet.

Meanwhile, Alice and Jack had claimed the boss and received the dropped treasures, but i couldn’t compare to the thrill of outsmarting Luke and Chloe!

After playing for a while, their takeout arrived.

Jack paused.“Let’s eat first.”

Alice noticed a small cake, the same brand as the one Chloe received earlier. She looked at him.“Why did you buy a cake?”

“Girls like these things. Consider it a reward for your good performance. You didn’t disappoint me.”

Alice was touched. However, Jack ‘s expression turned a bit awkward as he added coldly, “It was just part of the takeout.”

Alice had changed significantly; she wasn’t just rebelling against them but had genuinely transformed. He felt a mixture of happiness and loss. The little sister who used to revolve around him seemed to have vanished! Her good grades were a result of hard work, not defiance. Noah began to reflect on his own biases against Alice, especially after Luke’s antics at school; he realized he had overlooked Alice’s feelings for too long. Was that why she had changed so much? His tone was complex. “It’s late. Were you at
