Chapter 456


    Heather didn’t bother with Leo and Mirabe anymore, quickly teaming up with her cousin to tackle the


    tasks assigned by the show’s producers.


    Ten minutester, Mirabe pocketed her phone. Still basking in the joy of his little sister carrying him to


    victory in the game, Leo looked up at her and said, “When we get back, you gotta coach me some


    more. I wanna hit that Champion rank.”


    Mirabe’s temples throbbed, and she rejected him without any hint of emotion, “I don’t have the time.*


    Leo touched his nose, a look of dejection on his face. “Are you tired of me?”

    Mirabe gave him a sidelong nce. It seemed he had sessfully tossed his agent’s reminders to


    the back of his mind. There went his persona.


    Mirabe scanned the now significantly less crowded marketce and said, “Let’s get to business.”


    At her words, Leo immediately straightened up and took the lead. “I got this!” After coasting through


    two episodes, he was determined to nail this simple task of grocery shopping!


    Watching him stride ahead, Mirabe thought, “Well, if the little princess is happy, that’s all that


    matters.”


    Leo meandered around before stopping in front of a stall run by an elderly man who appeared to be in


    his sixties. The old man didn’t have much produce left, and what was there looked a bit wilted, clearly


    the leftovers after a day of picky customers.


    Having been under Donald’s thumb recently, Mirabe felt a twinge of empathy at the sight of the


    elderly vendor.


    Leo, oblivious to his sister’s mood, pointed to a pile of tomatoes and asked, “Hey, sir, how much for


    these tomatoes?”


    The old man took in the young customers, especially Leo, who looked vaguely familiar. He paused


    before responding, “Two bucks a pound.”


    Ready to haggle, Leo countered, “How about three bucks for two pounds?”


    Mirabe raised an eyebrow, surprised. She hadn’t pegged the little prince as a haggler.


    The old man shook his head.


    “Then four bucks for two pounds?” Leo suggested.


    There was a moment’s silence as the old man seemed taken aback. Did this young man not attend


    elementary school?


    Mirabe, already covering her face, resigned herself to the inevitable.


    The livestream audience was in stitches.


    [Buddy, wake up, you’re showing off your IQ.]


    [Old man: Two bucks a pound. Buddy: How about four bucks for two pounds? Old man: …he must be a


    bit slow!]


    [I can’t. I’m dying ofughter here.]


    [Ah, this… this… truly a festival of joy for the simple–minded.]


    Hans, who had been quietly following the siblings, suddenly patted Mirabe’s shoulder and said with


    empathy, “Hey, you’ve really got your work cut out for you.”

    Mirabe spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness.


    As Hans and his partner walked away to fulfill their own tasks for the show, Leo was still trying to


    negotiate with the vendor. To prevent any more of her little princess’s intellectual prowess from being


    revealed, Mirabe pulled him away.


    A confused Leo, still without his groceries, looked at his sister and asked, “What’s up now?”


    “Your new mission, should you choose to ept it,” Mirabe said with a clear gaze and a solemn


    voice, “is to check the livestreamments on your phone.” With that, she walked away, leaving Leo


    with a puzzled expression.


    After a solid moment of confusion, Leo took out his phone and entered the livestream. Seeing the


    screen filled with ‘persona shattered‘ments, he sank into deep introspection. The intemet crowd


    sure was hard to please.


    Meanwhile, at the Davis family mansion.


    Delh and Shawn, who had been watching the livestream, simultaneously covered their eyes when


    they saw their youngest son’s clueless close-up on screen.
