Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 148

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.

This stage required a remaining 64 contestants.

The card for the Wood Level was called the Wood Pass.

Starting from the Wood Level, all competitions were conducted according to the rules.

Who fought whom was determined by the system based on everyone's previous performance, including the way they advanced.

Surprisingly, Leo's opponent turned out to be Jade who bought her way in.

Since they were both special cases, the system paired them together.

Mia, eyeing the match-up, commented, "Good, I won’t have to stress about either of you getting injured." After all, their familiarity meant they could finish the match amicably.

Later, to everyone's amusement, the pair decided to settle the match with Rock-Paper-Scissors on the competition platform, watched by a captivated audience. Jade triumphed, winning two out of three rounds, which crowned her a Wood Level contestant and earned her the Wood Pass.

An indignant spectator accused them, "This is supposed to be a boxing contest, not a child’s play."

Jade shot back, "Rock-Paper-Scissors is played with hands, right? And a fist is also a hand. So how is it against the rules?"

Finding no flaw in Jade’s logic, another spectator challenged her directly. Mia was quick to intervene, "I’ll be her opponent."

When the name "Mimi" was announced, a hush fell over the crowd.

She was known to be invincible!

It was known that only those possessing a Blue Pass or higher could witness the intense Wood Level matches and above.
