Chelsy clears her throat.
" We will execute 5 rounds. If until then there's still more than three qualifiers, we will choose three with the highest scores." said Chelsy.

" Why ?" asked Yuri.
" Anna has a 6 million debt. After 5 rounds, the maximum she can get with her all-win strategy is 5 million, every round a million. But that will leave her a million in debt." said Harry.

" You want to see her suffer ?" asked Yuri.
" No. I want to see if there's anyone who wants to help her. Like she said, trust." said Harry.

Yuri sits beside him, " but seriously, breaking the rules just for that ?"
" No big deal. I've got billions." said Harry.

" You'll lose money." said Yuri.
" I'll gain the money back next round." said Harry.

" Oh. You mean that round ?"
Yuri chuckles, " yeah, that was fun."

Hiro smirks while walking away.
Chelsy sits back.

" Alright ! We will decrease our debt !" said Anna smiling.
Anna turns to them.

" Let's all vote Pigeon !" exclaimed Anna.
Unfortunately, the mood has changed.

" I think.. it's more beneficial for me to betray.." mumbled Wilfredo.
Ernest blows her smoke to him and glares at him.

Wilfredo lowers her head.
" Eh ?" asked Anna.

" Well.. let's vote Pigeon !" said Quinn happily.

Time left 1 hour 49 minutes

Anna smiles to Shane walking to her.
Shane sits on the other sofa.

' Finally everyone can work together..' thought Anna smiling.
" Ah !" exclaimed Anna.

Anna glares at Shane.
" Shane ! Your pen is with Teddy ! How will you vote ?!" said Anna.

" If you don't vote till the last round.."

Current Anna's calculation
A -6 + 5 = -1
B 1 + 5 = 6
C 18 + 5 = 23
D 1 + 5 = 6
E 1 + 5 = 6
F -2 - 5 = -7 <<<< !!!
G 2 + 5 = 7
H 1 + 5 = 6

" I'll proceed to the next round." said Shane.
" No, I can't let you shoulder any debt." protested Anna, " I brought you into this."

Anna raises her eyebrows, " if you're in debt, you still can proceed to the next round ?"
" Maybe." said Shane raising his shoulders.

" Eh ?" asked Anna, " it's 7 million ! You're sure ?"
" Nah.. Just kidding."

Anna glares at the pen Shane took out.
" Eeeh ?!"

Shane smirks.
