Chapter 130 Neal Didn’t Save Her
The familiar voice in the speaker spoke again, “Congratulations on reaching the final level. In this level. Neal must cross the corridor and unlock the lock at the other end to rescue the eldest son of the Valors.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard about the one–man mission.
Neal panicked and he didn’t even catch what was said next through the speakers.
“What? Me? Where do I go? Wait, why me?”
Though he wanted to use this livestream to showcase himself and gain some public favour, it didn’t mean he wanted to do something far beyond his capabilities.
He could barely manage to go to dark places with a cameraman, but just the thought of encountering ghosts and traps made his scalp tingle and his legs go weak.
“Why… Why me? Can we switch?”
This was a decision made after a discussion between the staff and the filming crew.
Stephanie and Michelle were girls, and sending them would be inconsiderate and might spark online gender debates.
As for Milly, she feared nothing and was smart enough to solve something in two minutes, making it boring to watch.
Oliver and Jonathan were scared out of their wits even without ghosts. If a ghost popped out, either the ghost or them would be in serious trouble.
Besides, their fans would fight if only one of them were sent on the mission.
Thus, Neal was the best candidate for views.
Neal’s palms were sweaty and his legs were so weak that he could barely stand “I…
Stephanie approached him and comforted him, “Neal, don’t be afraid. We’ll be here with you.”
Her words seemed comforting but his fate was sealed.
If he refused, it would prove that he was scared. For years, he had built a rugged, manly image. If he couldn’t finish the mission, his fans might turn against him.
Viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but flood the screen with comments.
*Stephanie is setting Neal up like a b*tch.
‘I know, right? She pretended to comfort Neal but there was another meaning to her words.”
“She’s all talk without offering any practical solutions.
“From the beginning, Milly told her not to touch anything, but she didn’t listen to her. In the end, she released the ghost.
Chapter 130 Neal Didn’t Save Her
“Obviously, she wants more camera time. First, she claimed to be Jonathan’s sister needing his protection. When he ignored her, she clung to Neal like a leech. She’s so annoying!
Neal gritted his teeth: At this point, he had no choice but to do the mission.
Someone stopped him when he was about to step forward
“Wait, I can go instead.”
Neal turned around and was surprised to see Milly. “Milly, you still
He thought that Milly was willing to help him because she liked him.
Though he didn’t finish his sentence, Milly roughly understood his meaning.
Milly calmly walked up to him, and said honestly, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m only helping you because you saved my life.”
She didn’t like owing favours.
Neal was puzzled. “What do you mean by saving your life?”
Seeing his puzzled look, Milly was confused too. She then explained, “When we were filming back then, I fell into the water and nearly drowned. You saved me.”
Neal pondered momentarily and replied, “I think you’re mistaken. I didn’t save you.”
“What? It wasn’t you?” Milly’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But you…
She had always thought Neal was her saviour.
Seeing her confusion, Neal clarified, “I did jump in to save someone, but Stephanie was closer, so I saved her first. When I came up, you had already been rescued. I didn’t see who saved you because it was chaotic.
Milly’s face turned pale as she felt a pang in her chest.
Who saved me if it wasn’t Neal?
Stephanie, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and smiled slyly. She chimed in sweetly, “Milly, Neal saved me. Did you mistake him for someone else or did you misunderstand something? It’s fault for not explaining at the time. After all, what happened between you and Neal was in the past.”

Stephanie was the best at subtly twisting facts. People could overthink when they listen to her words.
Her words would make everyone speculate about Milly’s past with Neal.
Since Neal was courting Stephanie now, the public might think that Milly was desperately clinging to Neal.
Milly had no intention of paying attention to her. She ignored Stephanie and turned to Neal. “Alright, I got it. Thank you
