Chapter 188:
“Wow, it’s actually him!” Alex exclaimed, his eyes going wide. “What’s our move p>
Levi, pondering the situation, said, “Bringing Nimbus into this changes everything. Our own abilities won’t cut it. We’d just end up being thrashed, giving Fourteen even more to gloat about p>
“Right,” Alex said, nodding in agreement. “So, what’s our plan p>
“There’s only one solution,” Levi said, adjusting his glasses. “We need some help p>
Alex snapped his fingers. “Right! I’ll contact Neal right now to help us p>

Levi’s words, combined with the circumstances, made the truth unmistakable.
They felt outmatched by the top player, Nimbus, whom Fourteen had enlisted. Now, they were desperately seeking her assistance. But there was a catch—how could she possibly compete against herself?
