859 Chapter 858
Two hours later.
Pig stared at the table of mouthwatering dishes, swallowing hard. She glanced at Sean, who barely touched his own food yet kept stealing glances at Keira's plate like it was the only thing worth noticing.
Pig sighed dramatically, throwing her hands up. "I admit defeat! From now on, you're officially number four in the group!"
Before anyone could react, Pig whipped out her phone and sent a ssage to their group chat: "Rabbit's cooking is better than mine. I lost. I'm now number five."
The group imdiately erupted.
Cockroach: "Wait, what? You just gave her number four like that? Don't you think that's too quick?"
Pig: "She beat at my specialty. What else is there to say?"
After sending a voice note to clarify, Pig turned to Keira. "Hey, you wanna climb up the rankings?"
Keira blinked. "What?"
Pig leaned closer. "You know Cockroach, right? She's number three. Want to challenge her?"
Keira raised an eyebrow. "Challenge her how?"
Pig didn't hesitate. She typed into the group: "Cockroach, Rabbit wants to challenge you."
Cockroach: "Challenge ? At what?"
Pig turned to Keira, grinning. "What's it gonna be? What do you want to compete in?"
Keira shrugged casually. "Anything's fine."
Pig's eyes lit up. "Can you code?"
Keira: "A little."
"Fight? Like boxing or martial arts?"
Keira: "I know a bit."
"dical skills? Poison-making?"
Keira: "Sowhat."
"Music?"
Keira: "A little bit of that too."
Pig clapped her hands together. "Alright, then martial arts it is! Cockroach's fighting skills are insane."
And just like that, Pig sent another ssage: "Rabbit wants to spar with you!"
Keira: "...Excuse ?"
Cockroach responded with a laughing emoji: "Spar with ? Does she even know who I am?"
Pig turned to Keira, as though just rembering. "Oh, right! You probably don't know—Cockroach is a protégé of the world boxing champion. She's incredible, and honestly, you don't stand a chance. Plus, you'd have to go to her place if you really want to challenge her…"
Keira froze for a mont, her expression unreadable. "Who did you say her ntor was?"
Pig tilted her head. "The world champion, why?"
Keira's tone was calm. "Isn't that the sa person who ca to Crera to challenge Freeman Sect's Senior Sister and got knocked out by her?"
Pig's eyes widened. "Wait… how do you know that? Oh! Cockroach did ntion that! She said this Senior Sister is her idol—completely wiped the floor with her ntor. Hey, do you know who this Senior Sister is?"
Keira's lips twitched. "...It's ."
Pig froze. Then, her head whipped around to Lewis, as though for confirmation.
Lewis, entirely unfazed, said, "She's telling the truth."
Pig's jaw dropped. She fumbled with her phone before frantically typing in the group chat: "Cockroach, Rabbit is the Senior Sister!"
Cockroach: "What Senior Sister?"
Pig: "The Freeman Sect's Senior Sister!"
Cockroach: "Are you kidding ? Is this confird?"
Keira sighed, pulled out her Special Division ID card, and snapped a photo. She sent it to the group.
The chat went silent for two whole minutes.
Then Cockroach finally replied: "Hello, Three. I'm number four now."
Keira stared at the ssage, speechless.
Pig grinned. "Wow, you're amazing! You climbed the ranks so fast! Want to challenge Cobra next?"
Keira frowned. "What would that involve?"
Pig leaned in conspiratorially. "You know Cobra, right? That girl's vicious. She's an expert in toxicology and dicine, and she's behind a ton of viruses spread across the globe—then sells vaccines to profit off them. The only person she's afraid of is Dr. Nora. They've clashed so many tis, and Nora knows her poisons inside and out."
Keira raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And do you know who Nora is?"
Pig blinked, suddenly suspicious. "...Don't tell you're Nora."
Keira: "Mm-hmm."
Pig: "!!!"
Without another word, Pig grabbed Keira's hand. "Second Sister! You've gotta challenge Eagle next. If you take her spot, you'll be our team leader. And when we take down Fox, you'll be the heiress to everything!"
Keira sighed deeply, already regretting her decision to join their group. How did things escalate this quickly? She wasn't even sure she wanted to go for the top spot.
After a pause, she asked, "What's Eagle's specialty?"
