Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

For a while, Chad watched his bank account dwindle, penny after penny disappearing into thin air. He couldn't help suspecting his little sister, Jade, was up to no good, like maybe getting into drugs. To confirm his suspicions, he even dragged her to the hospital for a blood test.

But the results came back clean. She wasn't a junkie. Chad asked her, "Where the hell did all the money go?"

He wasn't against Jade spending his money, but the sudden large transfers to strangers made him worry she'd been scammed.

He checked all her social accounts but found nothing amiss.

Under Chad's interrogation, Jade finally spilled the beans.

"Bro, I bought a card."

"What kind of card costs twenty grand?"

Then, Jade, like a scared kitten, told Chad about the gambling game she was involved in.

"Bro, you can't expose this. We're legit, it's all above board."

Chad said, "Try arguing back one more time!"

Jade didn't dare to speak again.

In the end, he could do nothing as his sister spent all the money.

Chad had to admit afterwards, though, that he was relieved his sister wasn't an idiot. She knew how to use money to solve problems without resorting to fisticuffs, which would've been way too risky. Money's gone, it's gone. At least it made his sister happy.

That was the only consolation Chad could find.

So that was how all three of them managed to gain entrance to the fifth level.

The fifth level, also known as the Wood Level, just like the name implies, was the middle stage of the competition.
