Chapter 151: I want to win

Sam's sudden arrival was like a boulder thrown into a pond, causing not mere ripples but waves like those from a fountain.

His real presence surprised everyone at the moment, unexpected even to Alice, who had begun to believe Sam wouldn't arrive. Yet, here he was, making an entrance...

Sam positioned himself between Sophie and Thalia, seemingly oblivious to the peculiar atmosphere, only to catch a different look in Sophie's eyes.

The surrounding crowd, after a brief moment of shocked silence, burst into intense discussion again.

"Sam came at this time?"

"Damn... what's this? It's like a hero saving the beauty! Can this even happen, or was it planned in advance?"

"But Sam really wasn't here during the day... he must have had something urgent, right? He's really lucky!"

"Shouldn't Sophie be the lucky one? Sam is handsome!"

Neither Sam nor Sophie cared about these comments.
