"It's midnight," the Messenger announced, disappointment flickering in their eyes.
"Tonight's game is officially over. Please take this time to rest; I'll be calculating the rankings for this round. Each participant will earn a gold card for completing a game, and the one with the most gold cards will win the grand prize for the evening."
With that, the Messenger rose and left the room, prompting the crowd to break apart.
Some people went in search of food and drinks, while others looked for someone to chat with.
A cluster of attendees squeezed their way over to Athena and Matthew, eager to exchange contact information.
This time, Athena and Matthew didn't say no.
Athena smiled, saying, "I've noted your phone number, and I'll add you once I get my phone back."
Matthew chimed in, "Her IQ is higher than mine, and her memory is better too. Just tell her, and she can pass the info along to me later."
Everyone hurriedly shared their phone numbers, iMessages, and email addresses with Athena.
She nodded politely, keeping quiet about whether she'd remember all of them.
After some effort, Zoe finally managed to squeeze in next to Athena and whispered, "If you can snag first place, you'll get to make a request to the Messenger--any request you want."
Athena felt a spark of curiosity. "Really? They can grant any request?"
Zoe nodded eagerly. "As long as it's something a person can do, they can make it happen."
Athena raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"
Zoe replied, "I heard about a winner who once asked for 200 million. The Messenger told him he wasn't worthy of that much but offered him 2 million in cash instead--and he actually delivered.
"There was another winner who wanted to get into a prestigious university, and the Messenger made that happen too.
"Then someone wanted the life of a powerful figure. The Messenger said they had no grudge against that person and couldn't help with murder, but they could arrange for them to meet.
"They delivered on that too, and the police still haven't found the kidnappers of that influential person."
Athena chuckled softly. "What do you want me to request?"
Zoe leaned in closer, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "You should tell the Messenger you want to bring those luxury brands to Murray Group Mall..."
She launched into a long list of high-end brands from around the world.
Athena couldn't help but think, surprised that Zoe was prioritizing business for the Murray family instead of plotting her downfall. It seemed Zoe was being practical, putting the family's interests first.
The "Charming Beauty" medical chain, once a ten-figure earner annually, was now defunct.
Murray Group Mall had thrived in the past, using strong connections to get top-tier products from the Vission Group after cutting ties with the Kennedy family, becoming a leader in the industry, and raking in profits.
However once Vission Group ended its collaboration with the Kennedy family, all their products were pulled from Murray Group Mall overnight, causing its status to drop dramatically, relegating it to an ordinary mall with significantly diminished profits.
If Zoe's request could come to fruition tonight, it would restore Murray Group Mall to its former glory.
Once Zoe finished sharing her idea, she leaned in with a conspiratorial tone. "After the party wraps up, the Messenger might issue some bounties. If participants can help him out, he'll also grant their requests.
"I hope you'll take on these bounties and assist the Messenger, so you can ask for something else in return."
Athena asked, "What other requests do you have in mind?"
Zoe gritted her teeth and said, "I want the Donovan family to go bankrupt and return to where they came from."
Athena sighed, knowing Zoe would always play second fiddle and never learn.
If Zoe kept this mindset, she was destined to drag the Murray family business down with her.
