"But you have to come, everyone's waiting for you."
"I think I'll bow out of this one, have fun on my behalf." Kate's attitude was just as determined as before.
It was not that she minded hanging out with them but she really didn't like overly crowded occasions.
She didn't want to be the hero because she didn't know how to handle the attention.
She'd prefer it if they just left her be.
Noticing her determination, Brooke and the gang chose to respect her decision.
However, Howard still took all of them along to a scrumptious dinner before leaving her be.
Kate turned back to rest.
It had been a hectic few days for her.
She wanted to take the opportunity to rest and recharge.
This was because, after this short celebration, there would another battle coming.
They couldn't relax completely because this was not the end.
That night was only a breather.

While Howard's camp was celebrating, Arthur's camp was suffocating in a depressing haze.
"Bunch of idiots! All useless!" Arthur was furious after he had lost the drill.
He was trashing his office.
Micah stood beside him carefully and tried his best to console him. "Boss, Howard was only lucky this time to have won. They are not our competition, don't worry, we'll get them next time!"
Arthur glared at him ruthlessly. "Lucky?"
Micah nodded with a shaking heart. "That's right, they were only lucky this time."
"Good luck can bring them a landslide victory‽ I also want such luck then!"
"Bunch of idiots! What did I tell you people before the drill? I said we can only win, and the results? We won nothing! Bunch of id*ots, you've ruined everything!" Thinking about his master plan that lay in tatters, Arthur was so furious he could kill someone.
No, not just someone, he wanted to kill Howard Miller and that Kate!
If possible, he wanted to shred them into pieces.
"Boss, this is all that Kate's fault." Micah added with a snarl. "If not for her, we wouldn't have lost. Everything changed the moment she arrived!"
