PFC Chapter 222 0 Food Thief
Chapter 222 0 Food Thief
"Holy crap, it's Superman with horns!!"
"Wow! His opponent is the scythe monster!!"
The competition was in full swing, with a one-on-one group stage format. The contestants who came from the preliminary rounds were divided into groups to compete against each other, and the victory condition was that one side surrendered or lost the ability to resist.
The allure of the championship attracted a large number of talented individuals, as there were substantial rewards for entering the main competition, so even losing was not a big deal.
As an annual competition organized by the royal family, its rewards are quite generous, with the worst being psionic crystals, which is not very tempting for extraordinary individuals.
Of course, every competition has to have winners and losers; in just a short time, several winners have emerged.
However, due to the large scale of the competition, there are hundreds of participants, most of whom are extraordinary individuals with considerable strength.
This is why the ordinary people in the audience got a real treat for their eyes. Superhumans are still too far away for ordinary people. Even if they saw them, they wouldn't dare to get close, because they might lose their heads if they weren't careful.
Now they can sit openly in their seats and watch the battles between superhumans without worrying about their personal safety, which naturally excites them greatly. When the battle gets intense, they even cheer loudly for the players they support.
The two teenagers, Riften and Fiorentina, were also among them. Having bought tickets, they thoroughly enjoyed the show, shouting loudly when they saw particularly cool contestants. Judging from their emotions, they definitely got their money's worth.
"What a pity... I didn't expect that even Horned Superman couldn't do it?"
"Hmph, I told you the scythe monster was powerful, but you didn't believe me. Alright, alright, according to the rules, I won this bet, so this piece is mine!"
As she spoke, Ruifen reached into the snack bin in front of Feito's indignant expression. This was their bet: whoever guessed correctly would get to eat a snack, since there weren't many left, and each snack consumed meant one less to eat.
"Let me see, I want the biggest one..."
Ruifen put his hand into the snack bucket and rummaged around for a while, but then he noticed something was wrong. There were several pieces in the bucket just now, so why were there only a few left?
Is it possible...
"Fito, did you sneak some food?"
"Oh! No, why would you think that?"
"How could it suddenly decrease? Are you lying?!"
"No, when did you see me stick it in?"
After a bit of arguing, Rifen reluctantly believed Fiorentina, mainly because what Fiorentina said didn't seem like a lie, and he wouldn't normally do such a thing.
So how exactly did it become less?
Ruifen was completely baffled. He looked around with a puzzled gaze, trying to find clues about the disappearance of the snacks. And what he did did lead him to some clues.
"You are......"
Ruifen's eyes flashed as she looked at the short old man who had somehow ended up sitting next to her.
Isn't this the same old man who was just joking around with those two staff members?
Feto also said his mother wouldn't let him get close to people like that...
Of course, none of that was the main point. The main point was that when Ruifen looked over, she noticed food scraps near the old man's mouth. Judging from the color, the food scraps looked very similar to her own snacks...
No way...
A bad feeling crept into Ruifen's mind: Could it be this guy...?
"What are you looking at me for?"
Perhaps sensing Ruifen's gaze, the old man turned his head at that moment, but his expression was completely calm, which made Ruifen somewhat uncertain...
"that......"
"Did you take my...?"
"What a joke!!"
After hearing what Ruifen said, the old man immediately retorted loudly. He put on an angry look and loudly questioned Ruifen why she had wronged him.
Although this appearance immediately intimidated Ruifen, it did not deter her from her plan. Ruifen pointed to the food scraps around the old man's mouth.
"Then what is this...?"
"Are you accusing me because of this? Does that mean I can't eat? You younger generation are getting more and more rude, don't you know that...?"
After Ruifen presented what appeared to be evidence, the old man did not panic. He remained angry and even spoke more than before, beginning to morally condemn Ruifen.
Of course, during this process, the old man also wiped away the food residue from his mouth without leaving a trace, even though Ruifen witnessed all of this.
"sorry."
After a series of arguments, Ruifen finally surrendered. He admitted that he couldn't argue with the old man, and judging from the old man's reasoned demeanor, his suspicions about him had lessened considerably.
Perhaps she was just being paranoid. Maybe the other person brought the food themselves. Thinking this, Ruifen slowly turned her head, then reached into the snack bin again...
One, two, three...
Ok?
wrong!
That's totally wrong!
I had a few more just now!
Ruifen suddenly looked into the snack bin, only to find that there were only three snacks left. Upon seeing this, he instinctively looked up at Fitu.
"what happened?"
Logically speaking, Fiorentina should be the prime suspect, since he was arguing with the old man just now, and only Fiorentina had the opportunity to commit the crime.
But looking into Fito's innocent eyes, Rifen suddenly stopped talking.
What else can I do? I was already upset about wrongly accusing him, and if I guess wrong again, Feto will probably be heartbroken...
But if it's not Fito, then who could it be?
Ruifen pondered deeply, and gradually, a face suddenly appeared in his mind, so he turned around abruptly to look at it.
"Look what I'm doing."
Ruifen's face twitched as she watched the old man frantically wiping his mouth.
Absolutely...
It's definitely this guy!
Although this guy still had that calm expression, there was only one truth: he had stolen the food...
"you......"
Just as Rifen was about to speak, he was suddenly pulled aside by Fitu, as the next match was about to begin.
Forget it, I won't bother with this scoundrel. The competition is more important...
Perhaps knowing that she couldn't get anything out of this guy, Ruifen voluntarily retreated, turned around and hugged the bucket of snacks in her hands, then looked towards the competition stage.
