The blob smiled upon seeing the hesitation in their eyes. "Now, do what you intend to do. I won't interfere any more."
Max flashed a bright smile and turned to Evlin, Nathan, and Tom. "Did I hear wrong? You guys want to challenge me?" He asked with a sneer.
Nathan glanced at Max, ready to challenge him, but a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Knowing that losing would bring many unwanted penalties, he drew caution.
But the greed for 10% of Max's 1000 minutes in hours made him want to gamble his chances.
"What, chickening out at the last minute?" Max sneered at them, seeing their solemn faces.
"Aren't you worried about yourself?" Princess Aveline asked at that moment. "If you lose, you'll lose around 100 minutes of time."
Max glanced at her, his expression curious. "And who are you? You don't look like these hooglians. You seem different," he said carefully, noticing her attire and clothing.
