Chapter 344 - 217: Sweetness in the Rain, a Major Dog Food Scene [Second Update]

Marcus Shaw was dragged to the corridor by Oliver Scott, all the way to the end, before they stopped.

"What’s going on?"

Marcus Shaw was puzzled.

Taking a deep breath, Oliver Scott hurriedly took his phone out from the bag, logged onto Weibo, found Zero’s posted picture, tapped it open, enlarged it, and handed it to Marcus Shaw in one go.

"Does my sister have a bracelet like this?"

Oliver Scott asked, his tone quite tense.

As his gaze fell on the bracelet, Marcus Shaw had a bit of clarity in his mind; seeing Oliver Scott’s tense demeanor, his mood brightened a little.

He calmly nodded: "Yeah."

Eyes slightly widened, Oliver Scott asked again, "Exactly the same?"

Oliver Scott was not sure about this point.

In his memory, on New Year’s Eve, he noticed a black bracelet on Nora Scott’s wrist and thought it looked like Zero’s. Later, he saw a pile of Zero’s manga books in Nora’s room and speculated that she might be a fan, so he didn’t think further about it.

Later, with the New Year arriving, busy with New Year visits, dealing with mech stuff, then school starting, he hardly saw Nora Scott...

Therefore, he didn’t have a deep impression of that bracelet and couldn’t assert if it was exactly the same when he saw the picture.

But he did remember that underneath the bracelet were two polished black stones, which made a deep impression.

Without closely examining the picture, Marcus Shaw just slightly nodded, "Yeah."

"Was this bought wholesale, or–"

"Pedro Langley gave it to her."

Marcus Shaw simply gave him the answer.

"Huh?" Oliver Scott stared at him, stupefied.

"He made it himself."

"..."

Oliver Scott was speechless.

Afterwards, Marcus Shaw coolly put his hand into his pocket and slowly added, "One of a kind."

Oliver Scott: !!!

He wasn’t stupid; Marcus Shaw had hinted so clearly, how could he not guess?

"..."

Oliver Scott was dumbfounded for a while, blinking his eyes.

Thinking about the universally acknowledged muscled man, the rough uncle, and then Nora Scott’s unparalleled beauty, for a moment, the sense of discord was overwhelming, but reality struck like a bolt of lightning, fusing these two very different images together.

This really is a fantastical world.

So—

When he first met Nora Scott at school, he and Marcus Shaw were arguing over the Mechanical Box and To sign, and finally, the person who stood for justice was actually Zero himself;

Nora Scott said she was drawing comics at the Scott family, not just a casual excuse, but actually true, with her having a highly esteemed status in the manga circle;

The person Sophie Scott admired for years, and plagiarized and copied, was actually their half-sister...

When "Base No. 9" was released, what was Nora Scott doing?

Staying at home, doing nothing.

But she orchestrated a showdown that still shocks the entire internet.

Oliver Scott never expected that in that incident, one was his elder sister, and the other was his second sister.

Indeed, Sophie Scott’s plagiarism and intention to slander Zero were absolutely wrong, losing herself amidst applause and praise is also her issue, and Zero’s retaliatory behavior was to defend her legitimate rights, undoubtedly correct, rather quite normal behavior.

Yet the identities of these two in reality, and Sophie Scott’s current plight...

Oliver Scott felt quite conflicted.

After a while, Oliver Scott tried to digest it, but ultimately found it hard to believe and questioned Marcus Shaw: "Is my sister really Zero?"

"My sister."

"..."

Oliver Scott’s shock was partly dispersed by Marcus Shaw’s two words.

Marcus Shaw frowned, unwilling to emphasize repeatedly, directly stating, "Do you think every pretty face you see is a relative?"

"No, I don’t." Oliver Scott blushed, quickly retorting.

"Better not."

Marcus Shaw said casually, turning to walk towards the classroom.

"..."

Oliver Scott restrained himself but soon followed him closely, asking, "Since you knew early on, why didn’t you tell me?"

"I wanted to tell you..." Marcus Shaw’s tone slightly lifted.

"Huh?"

Turning his head slightly to him, Marcus Shaw slowly added, "Couldn’t stand your chattering."

"..."

Oliver Scott was startled.

No one’s ever called him a chatterbox!

Yet, just a moment after mentally refuting, with his emotions a bit complex, Oliver Scott couldn’t help but ask, "When is sis coming back—"

"If you mention her one more time, I’ll quit the team."

Marcus Shaw directly threatened.

"..." Oliver Scott blinked, knowing the team couldn’t afford to lose Marcus Shaw at this moment, so after a brief moment of choking, he quickly changed the topic, "Mr. Flynn said you have a game you made yourself, are you still working on it? Was your dozing off and fishing during class before because you were staying up late to make games?"

"I stopped."

"Why?"

Glancing coldly at him, Marcus Shaw stepped into the classroom, casually dropping six words, "Next time I need to be first."
