After helping Elizabeth carry her luggage up the stairs, Ran Xu hurriedly went downstairs to pack his own things. A female model nearby envied Elizabeth and exclaimed, "Wow, your boyfriend is really good to you."

Elizabeth's face turned slightly red as she said sheepishly, "Ran is not my boyfriend, we're just friends."

"Lily," a female model from the other side sneered, "I heard that among the contestants this time, there's one who got in by using connections."

"Yeah," the model named Lily responded, "I heard he's an Eastern man. From the looks of it, he really lacks manly spirit. I guess that's the only way he can handle things~"

"Ugh, so disgusting," the third model said. "In my opinion, even if he uses such methods, he won't be able to defeat Lord Edward~"

Just as Elizabeth was about to say something, a model standing next to her interrupted awkwardly, "Um, please stop talking..."

"What business is it of yours?" Lily showed a look of annoyance.

Elizabeth tidied up the bed and casually said, "Oh my goodness, there's actually a surveillance camera here? When was it installed?"

"What?" The group of female models who had just been mocking and teasing each other suddenly became flustered, nervously looking around.

Elizabeth tidied up her clothes and slung them over her arm as she walked into the bathroom. In a place where no one could see, the delicate corners of her mouth lifted into an elegant curve.

"Edward, have you seen my towel? I just put it on top of your suitcase!" Danny from the upper bunk shouted down.

Edward lay on his bed flipping through a book, paying no attention.

Ran Xuzhi stopped, stood up, and looked around. He found the deep blue towel that Danny had mentioned, picked it up, and handed it to him with a smile, saying, "Is this it?"

"Ah, yes," Danny's expression was somewhat strange. "Um... thank you."

After seeing Edward from the corner of his eye, Ran Xu felt a sudden urge to throw a punch. His fists itched uncontrollably because Edward resembled that ice-cold spirit too much.

"Edward, right?" Ran Xuzhi wanted to give it a try. "Hello, I'm Ran Xuzhi. You can just call me Ran from now on." After saying that, he focused his attention on observing Edward's expression.

To his disappointment, Edward didn't even move a muscle on his face. It was as if he hadn't heard anything at all, with his eyes slightly drooping, standing there like a frozen statue.

"Do you also like reading xx?" Ranzu exclaimed in surprise. "I have collected many issues of this magazine! If you like it, I can lend it to you."

Edward's brow twitched slightly, causing Ran Xu's heart to tighten.

"Please keep quiet," Edward frowned, setting down his book, and said to Ran Xu with a hint of indifference.

Ran Xuzhi: ....

"233, I really feel like giving him a beating. Will there be any consequences for the world's failure?"

"Mr. Ran, please calm down. If you fail, you'll have to join me in going hungry for the rest of the month."

"Oh, okay."

Taking a deep breath, Ran Xu raised his temple veins and apologized to Edward. Then, he turned around and returned to his own bed, continuing to tidy up.

Hawk held a large stack of shower gel as he passed by Ran Xu, sarcastically mocking him, saying, "Failed at getting close? How embarrassing."

Ran Xuzhi took out the durian chips from the luggage and extended his arm to stop Hawk, smiling. "Would you like to try some, Hawk? I brought a lot."

The information in the materials reveals a secret that even the fans don't know about. Huo Ke's favorite snack is actually dried durian. However, it's a bit unflattering, so his manager strictly forbids him from indulging in it.

Hawk's throat twitched, and his expression immediately turned sour. He struggled for two minutes before saying disdainfully, "Tch, I don't want anything disgusting like this."

"Oh, well," Ran Xuzhi shrugged, "There are no surveillance cameras here. I thought I could sneakily have a few bites, but I brought too much. In order to avoid being found out, I can only find an opportunity to throw it away."

As soon as the words were spoken, Hawk swiftly snatched the item from Ran Xu's hand with lightning speed, as if a bell had been stolen without anyone noticing. He pretended nothing had happened and concealed it under his towel, saying casually, "Don't waste it, I can reluctantly help you keep a little."

After dinner, everyone gathered in the first-floor hall of the villa to watch the preview on the silver screen in the center. Each time, the silver screen would play the best footage or photos from the day's competition, followed by the preview information for the next day's matches, allowing the participants to prepare adequately.

This time, it was indeed Edward and Brittany who were released. As Edward was lowered from above, his chin lifted slightly, transitioning from darkness to brightness. He resembled a future king about to ascend the throne, emanating an aura of disdain for all living beings. He walked out alongside Brittany, who was wearing a silver suit jacket that draped over his shoulders, exuding a sexy and slender presence that was so dazzling, one couldn't look away.

Ran Xu was very surprised. He had not expected Edward to be such a perfectionist. Clearly, the lighting was dim in the place where he dropped from a high place, and most people wouldn't take the time to carefully observe that area. However, Edward still did exceptionally well, even ensuring that his facial expression and the angle of the camera were perfect.

Edward's strength is indeed remarkable. It seems that this mission is even more difficult than imagined.
