Charlotte was too excited to see Bam that she forgot that there was an enemy who wanted all of them to die so bad.

The name of the person who stabbed her with his hand was Beta, one of the children who were taken as experiments in this Workshop and he has been keeping hatred and holding grudge toward Jue Viole Grace who he believed was the reason of all of this.

Charlotte fell on the ground while Beta's hand was stained with blood.

When she looked at his eyes, Charlotte could see the happiness that was mixed with craziness and anger in his yellow eyes. Surely, seeing her ended up in this state and watched how she bleed must have satisfied him as Beta was sure that she must be the close friend of Jue Viole Grace.

Her golden eyes looked at him and frowned. Compared the pain that she felt, she felt more irritated seeing that Beta.

"Who are you? You can't just intrude to the tournament!" Khun said through his lighthouse.

"It's not intrusion but a fair battle" Beta said to Khun.

"What?" Khun was surprised. He had never seen him before.

"Just wait....I will kill you too....."

Khun also felt that there was something off with this man. He had never seen him before in the list of participants and he suddenly shown himself and stabbed Charlotte out of blue.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! IT'S ME THAT YOU HATE! WHY DO YOU HURT OTHERS?!"

"I already told you, the complete one" Beta said to him. "I want to make you suffer. I don't know how you escaped that trap, but now you're here, you can sit there and watch your friends die one by one."

Charlotte couldn't help but to chuckle when she heard that and her chuckle gained Beta's attention. He was a bit surprised that she was still conscious and that she was actually trembling while lying on the ground.

"You want to make my brother suffer?" Charlotte looked at him. "Dream on. A foolish child who easily believe on whatever that Emily told you....heh, how pathetic."

Beta frowned when he heard that, "What did you say?"

Charlotte stood up again as if she wasn't hurt. Well, to their surprise, Beta didn't actually hurt her that bad. Thanks to Noah's shout before, she reacted right on the moment and he didn't manage to hurt her vitals. She grabbed her fan and stood up, looked at Beta with her determined and bright golden eyes.

Did he really think that a small wound would be able to kill her? She had experienced a lot in FUG. What he gave her was nothing compared the pain for seven years of loneliness and darkness in FUG.

"Long time ago, you are trapped inside this Workshop" Charlotte said and looked at Beta straight with her golden eyes. "You met several friends who you believed as your enemies until one day where you kill each other for the sake of freedom that you have been dreaming for. But after you kill all your friends ......you found out that it was all a lie. Not only that you lost your freedom, you also lost your friends. Am I right, ?"

She emphasized the word 'one by one' and his name with confidence and calmness while fanning herself.

Beta was stunned. He frowned and glared at her, "You....how do you know.......?"

"I am not obligated to tell you right?" Charlotte asked. "And after the moment you lost everything, you wanted to look for the real culprit and everything. You thought that Emily would be able to give you answer but you don't know that Emily is not a God. You don't know that you have been used by that thing. If you aren't a foolish child, then how should I call you?"

Beta clenched his fists. How did she know about his past? Could it be that she used the Emily to figure it out? Not only that she had guessed his past and the reason why he hated Jue Viole Grace deeply to the core....she also said that Emily deceived him.

He refused to believe it! He had hated Jue Viole Grace for a long time. He can't be wrong. Because of his experiments, he killed all his friends and lived in loneliness!

Without giving him a chance to react, Charlotte pointed to his head, "Khun, didn't you ask before how this scoundrel suddenly intrude this tournament right? With the thing on his head, he could be considered as a participant."

"Thing?"

Before Beta participated in this tournament, he went to look for one of the gamblers planted by FUG, Devil Bon. He gave him the spearhead of their team which turned out to be a parasite like worm. As long as Beta swallow it and could handle it, then he would be considered as participant and didn't break the rules. But if he was careless and let the parasite a chance to take control his body, then he would be used as a puppet instead. Beta confidently replied that he had taken lots of things back then when he was an experiment for Workshop. A small parasite won't be able to control him.

He was sure that none of them would have exposed that little secret. So how did this young lass know about this as well?

"Then do you know how to get it out?" Khun asked.

Charlotte just smiled when she heard that and lifted her right palm toward Beta. With shinsu to torment the parasite in his head, Beta felt nauseous. He vomited and Khun, from his observer, he saw it clearly that there was something white and seemed to be worm moving around. He was certain that it must be the parasite that Charlotte mentioned before.

Beta wanted to snatch it and swallow it again but before he could do that, Charlotte had shot bangs toward the parasite and earned her team five hundred thousands points! With that, she immediately summon Jue Viole Grace!

"Code input is completed. The summoning has begun. In 5 minutes, Jue Viole Grace will be summoned to this location."

"Yes" Charlotte was happy that she jumped a little. Khun also smiled in relieve inside his observer and Noah clapped his hands for this good news.

Among the regulars inside that summoning center, Beta was the only one who was dissatisfied. His enemy would come in 5 minutes, how could he be happy? If there was someone who he should blame for, then he should blame for Charlotte for ruining his fun and everything.

Killing her would be better. She has been behaving as if she knew everything. And besides, didn't she mention herself as Jue Viole Grace's younger sister? Then killing her would be the best gift he would give to Jue Viole Grace. Or better, he might just destroy the summoning center and have all of them buried there.

Two large and gigantic yellow feet appeared in all sudden and were aimed to both Charlotte and the summoning well. Charlotte clicked her tongue and used the Blue Oar to surf and dodge one of them and then looked at the other one that was directed to the well.

"Get your stinky foot..... away from the well!" she shouted and began to attack it.

[Hansung Yu Style- Straight Line Long Pierce]

With the technique, she cut his foot and successfully protected the well for now. But Beta however was a crazy man filled with rage and hatred and he was also the living weapon created by the Workshop. He wasn't someone easy to deal it.

Even when their comrades come, it was still hard to fight with a monster.

"I didn't expect to have to use this" Beta said with a smirk. "[Partial Igniton: Phobos]"

A green creature suddenly appeared behind him as he jumped high on the sky.

"I'll blow everything up" he said to all of them. "All of you and this calling center."

"That crazy bastard!!"

"He's going to blow everything in the center!"

"It's gonna be hard without lighthouse. We can only protect ourselves, the well or give up the game" Laure, the wave controller who took the same class with both Charlotte and Bam, said to them.

"How much time left?"

"Three minutes!"

"Damn it!"

At this kind of situation, it was hard for Charlotte to think about it. She had ruined the timing and her mistake affected everything. If they didn't do something, then they would be buried here together. But what did they do in the Manhwa to summon Bam less than 5 minutes?

"Poor Viole, you finally found your friends, but you couldn't do anything except to watch" Beta said with the hint of mockery towards Bam who frowned and glared at him. "Wait for me, I'll finish you off when I get there."

"That's enough!" he said to him only to be ignored.

With the noises here and the anxiety inside her, it was hard for her to calm down, let alone trying to remember the details in Manhwa that she hadn't read for years. Noah, on the other hand, he had experienced something more dangerous than this and wasn't surprised. But the problem was that he can't fight since he was a ghost. He can't even touch them, let alone fighting with Beta. He could only walk to Charlotte and tried to put his hand on her shoulder.

"Calm down for a bit" Noah said. "If you are being like this, then you can't remember anything."

"Give me a moment to think" Charlotte replied in a whispering voice. "What on earth they do in the Manhwa so that Bam could be summoned faster?"

Suddenly, there was a loud voice distracting all of them. The voice that belonged to a female shouted one word: "BETA!!"
