Shane growls, " What did you do to her ?!"
Belle declares, " Apple, two."
" The guard saw through the thief's lie. The apples go to the guard."
" HAHAHAHA..." laughed Belle.
Shane pulls her, " You !"
Some men appear and pull Shane away from Belle.
" Mr. Shane, violence is not permitted. If you use violence, we will immediately disqualify you."
" YOU ! Come back !" shouted Shane angrily.
The men let him go.
In that mental state, Shane continues to inspect.

Anna drops a tear.
' Shane..'
Anna feels hurt.
Hurter than being cheated.
***
Gilbert puts the bag down.
The bag shows an apple.
" Pass me." said Gilbert.
Gilbert feels uncomfortable of his expression.
Shane glares at Gilbert.
Gilbert backs a little, " W-What ?!"
Shane presses the button.
" Apple, one."
" EH ?!!" exclaimed Gilbert.
" The guard saw through the thief's lie. The apple goes to the guard."
***
Shane comes in.
Anna stares at Shane.
Shane glances at Quinn.
" Are you going to be the thief ?!" said Shane with a high tone.
Quinn lowers her head.
' He's gone crazy.' thought Quinn.
Anna looks at Shane turning to her.
" Are you ?!" shouted Shane.
Anna drops another tear.
Shane pauses.
Shane turns away.
Shane punches the wall.
Anna and Quinn are shocked.
" FINE !" growled Shane.
Shane walks away.
***
The opposite room.
Belle laughs and laughs.
Unstoppable laughter.

Round 24
Shane sits down.
Shane tosses the bag.
...
" Hurry and pass !" shouted Shane.
His expression even shows anger.
I can hear Belle's laughter coming from the other room.
It's.. terrifying.
" Pass." said Gilbert.
Shane opens the bag, two golden apples.
" The guard didn't see through the thief's lie. The thief earns two apples."
***
" Pass." said Shane.
Gilbert smirks after showing him two red apples.
" Yeah !" shouted Gilbert, " I win !"
" The guard didn't see through the thief's lie. The thief earns two apples."
Shane kicks the chair.
Shane growls, " Bastard ! Come if you dare !!"
If the men didn't appear to pull Shane away, the surveillance camera that locates to the rooms' screen would have been destroyed.
***
Belle gets up from her seat.
" Well, I can't refuse a gentleman's invitation." said Belle.
Belle's footsteps are echoed through the rooms.
***
Round 25
Belle is shocked when the door is automatically slid open.
Anna sits down.
" You go." said Shane with an airy voice.
Anna stares at Belle, " please, Belle, don't make anyone suffer. There's no profit to it."
Belle smirks.
" That's his own fault." said Belle.
Belle presses the button.
" Apple. Two."
Anna widens her eyes.
" The guard saw through the thief's lie. The apples go to the guard."
Belle shows a creepy smile.
