Supremacy Games

"Alright Robert, that's for the future tasks. We need to decide what to do with him now, should we reward him with merits or not?" Charlotte dragged the stubborn Robert back in his seat.

"Just give him 200 merits, since he used his brain and found the loophole. We can't punish him for relying on wits. We would be the laughingstock of all business families if we did so."

"Agreed." "Second that." "Indeed he did not break the rules."

"Felix we decided that you shall be rewarded with 200 merits instead of the original 100. Take it as a bonus reward." Abraham smiled with a hidden glint.

Felix saw it but did not know what he meant by it. So he stopped thinking about it, and accepted the free points.

2 minutes later...

Half the juniors arrived without breaking a sweat, as they used the elevators and did not need to run too much. Though, they were covered in blood and scratches. Some even had their teeth knocked out. They really fought tooth and nail for those 100 points.

But they still had it better than the rest who were probably still in their rooms or climbing back the stairs. They got beat up but still failed the task.

Everyone who reached saw Felix standing in the same position while staring at the ceiling absent-minded like he was contemplating his life choices.

However, they did not find it weird, as they assumed that he just arrived as well from another elevator. The only thing questionable about him was the fact that he had no injuries like them.

They soon began to question each other on who rode with the devil himself.

"I took the first elevator, he was not us."

"Me 2nd, I definitely didn't see him with us."

"The hell? He didn't take the 3rd as well."

"....."

In the end, they stared at Felix speechlessly, not knowing his reason for giving up on the task. The thought that he used the stairs didn't even cross their minds. No matter how godlike Felix appeared when he threshed them before. Common sense still applied to him.
