Chapter 101 - Lado Obscuro by Gelo Arango

There were more worried people like her. Romeo used his skill to slap all the people who thought he was cheating. Thirty shots, forget it, he only needed five, no, in fact, as long he had one he could throw the other players out on the curb.

The audience thought about it, it seemed that each of Romeo's photos that won TOP1 was his first pose. Every time he struck, he'd win in one fell swoop, his strength was too advanced!

The two's wonderful performance made the other two groups feel the pressure. They began to doubt their choices, wandering if there was time to change their clothes or change their style. They were stiff-faced and astringent, so the photographer frequently felt angry and had to come forward to correct their posture and remind them where the lights were focused.

"God, shooting them and shooting Romeo is like heaven and earth. Gustav, poor Gustav, no wonder he was always looking at his watch when he was shooting them." The photographer rattled on and complained, and the audience before the TV once again understood Gustav's feelings. They also had a clearer understanding of how big a gap there was between the other players and Romeo.

Romeo relied on cheating to get to today? How ridiculous!

The shooting finally ended, and the program group immediately released the photos online so they could be scored. In the past, they would pick the best one, but in order to show fairness and transparency, all the photos were posted.

Romeo and Ivana only had a pitiful five while the other two groups had thirty. But this time, it was not the quantity, but the quality. The audience could kneel and worship Romeo and Ivana's photos, but the other two groups' photos only brought disdain.

There was no doubt that TOP1 still belonged to Romeo and Ivana. The other two groups were outdone and lost in embarrassment. Before, they thought that the group's decision to cut Romeo's shots couldn't be better, but now, they were considering pleading for Romeo. At least, if Romeo returned to normal, their loss wouldn't be so embarrassing.

"I don't care if it's not fair. I only know that with only 5 chances, one mistake is worth more, and nobody's perfect. If he has a bad day, wouldn't he be out of luck? I think things are good this way." Emily's words dispelled everyone's ideas, but they also made the audience hate her to the bone.

Cheap woman, how come you're not being eliminated? Everyone band together to quickly get rid of her!

This post received a lot of praise, they'd had enough of Emily's black heart. Of course, there were some egoists who thought she was very practical and supported her.

This time a male player was eliminated, Emily's partner. Emily had pushed him out as group representative to bear the judges' poisonous tongues. When he stepped down, he embraced everyone, but rejected Emily, this made her redden in embarrassment.

Since the recording and broadcasting was live, the players' lives in the villa wouldn't appear in the current episodes, but they would be edited into a highlights episode that would air a week before the final broadcast. So, the original three weeks till the end of the game turned into four weeks, and the players had more than a week of rest time.

"Children, look who I brought." Bonnie clapped and some people came through the doorway. Ivana screamed and ran towards a middle-aged woman, her mother. The two other players also saw their loved ones, except for Romeo and Emily.

Emily breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to see her mother, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her anger and pick up a vase to smash it over her head. Zhou Yun Sheng had long known that Romeo's Aunt couldn't come. He'd found evidence of their embezzlement of Romeo's heritage and had anonymously submitted it to the police, that woman was now in jail.

He walked alone to a corner and looked at the AI on his wrist. He had found out who had incited the netizens to demand his expulsion and had prepared a grand 'gift' for him- evidence of financial fraud, enough to bankrupt the man and make him sink into the mud. However, he was surprised to find that the other man was currently living in the ICU ward because of a drug overdose, and according to news reports, the doctor had detected HIV in his blood.

How can things be so coincidental? His mind immediately flew to Gustav's gentle and humble face, the man looked warmhearted, but apparently, he had a ruthless spirit. Laughing softly, he clicked the send button, he didn't mind pushing the man deeper into the abyss of despair. It was the icing on the cake.

"Romeo, are you all right?" Bonnie was talking to the parents when she saw the young man hiding in the corner and fiddling with his watch, his back looked very lonely.

"I'm fine." Zhou Yun Sheng looked up and smiled.

"My Dear, your Aunt was too busy working to see you. She wants you to take care, she also misses you." Bonnie didn't tell the teenager the truth, worried that it would affect his game mood.

"Yes, I know." Zhou Yun Sheng nodded, grateful for Bonnie's care.

The contestants were leaving with their families, looking to get a good meal at an atmospheric restaurant. The charges were reimbursed by the program group, provided that they allowed the team to shoot their scenes and broadcast it. The deal was a bargain.

Ivana had wanted to invite Romeo, but Bonnie had already made an appointment with him, so she left, assured.

As the host, Bonnie had the obligation to take care of the two players. She picked a French restaurant, and chatted with them about their experience while eating a luxurious dinner.

Zhou Yun Sheng and Emily had already crossed the point of no return, they wouldn't hypocritically pretend to be friendly, the cameraman took a battle picture of the two (Emily sneering, Romeo coldly silent) and left.

"Romeo, those things that wronged you before. Are you still angry?" Bonnie asked tentatively.

This little thing was not on Zhou Yun Sheng's heart. He knew the strong emotions Gustav had for him, he couldn't accept him, but he wouldn't hate him. Love is the most precious thing in the world, even if the love is not the one you want, you can just neatly refuse it, you don't have to use disgusting means to break it.

"No, I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm grateful to Mr. Acheson for such appreciation." He slowly shook his head.

Emily's eyes flashed, she deduced that the punishment really was related to Mr. Acheson, but for what specifically? She wanted to buy an Entertainment Weekly, but she was stuck to Bonnie's side, she didn't have the opportunity. Perhaps she should ask the other contestants when she went back, maybe their families knew.

She absent-mindedly cut her steak, giving hostile glances to the boy sitting opposite her from time to time.

Zhou Yun Sheng asked the waitress for a bottle of red wine and blinked his big eyes to sell meng to Bonnie, "Bonnie, can I have a little red wine? Just a wee bit. The cameraman is gone, no one would know."

Bonnie was a little embarrassed. The boy was three months from adulthood, he shouldn't be drinking, but when she was fifteen years old, she was already sneaking away to drink, so it should be okay, right?

She slowly reached toward the bottle of wine, but a big hand stretched out from above Romeo's head and took the wine away. The hand's owner scolded. "No, you can only drink milk."

Emily instantly boiled. She finally saw Mr. Acheson again, the man who could decide her fate.
