99. Next Step

Offended at being accused of fear, one of them said, "Fear? Gosh, what are we afraid of?"

Alen kept smiling, "Alright, then just wait for the next selection."

However, the young man named Michael Hickson who seemed to be the leader of the group of youngsters said, "Is there any guarantee that you won't cheat?"

"Cheating? How can it be called cheating when no one wants me here?" James said without turning around.

Riley grimaced.

James casually continued, "Trust me! Almost everyone here wants to send me home. Maybe, if possible, they're the ones cheating to get rid of me, not me."

Michael couldn't reply.

Meanwhile, his other friend was still saying, "Oh, it could be that your father still has people who are loyal to him. So, that person is helping you here."

Oh, James couldn't take it anymore. Alen also didn't want to hold James back anymore because he knew James had the right to defend himself.

"What did you say? My father's confidant?" James repeated the question as he turned around.
