Chapter 72 
Time passed quickly. 

In the blink of an eye, Xtreme Survival was only a week away from the shooting day. 
Before Evangeline left, she called Arthur and his friends out to treat them to a meal. 
Finnegan did not join because he accepted a patient’s request and went out of town for a consultation. 
Only Arthur, Hugo, and Steven showed up. 
In the hotel, Steven sighed when he saw Evangeline and said, “Evangeline, you are really doing something big secretly. I can’t believe you signed up for Xtreme Survival! How could you hide it from us? You didn’t even tell us. We only knew about it after seeing the news online!” 
Evangeline tilted her head and said, “I wasn’t hiding it. You all didn’t even ask me. Besides, Arthur was with me the day I decided to join. Didn’t he tell you about it?!” 
Steven immediately pointed at Arthur and raised his fist to hit him. He exclaimed, “You jerk! You knew it all along. How could you not tell us?” 

Arthur dodged to one side and kicked Steven. “Use your words. What’s the need to get physical? Arthur responded. 
Steven glared at him and said. “Why didn’t you tell us that Evangeline agreed to participate in Xtreme Survival?” 
Arthur replied calmly. “You didn’t ask.” 
Steven growled “We’re close friends, You can just say it even if we don’t ask. Don’t you have the urge to share secrets with others?” 
“I just want to make money. I don’t have any other worldly desires,” said Arthur. 
Steven’s mouth twitched. 
He thought, This guy has gone crazy for money. He’s already so rich. Yet, he’s sull so money–grubbing 
Hugo looked at Evangeline and frowned. “Evangeline, didn’t you reject the offer! Why did you decide to participate in it again? We told you that the show is dangerous and particularly targets Clusians. They’ll definitely target you. Now, the public opinion on the Internet is not in your favor. The show has not even started, yet people are already talking badly about you on the Internet. If you don’t perform well on the show, you’ll be criticized more badly. If you’re humiliated, they’ll think that you have disgraced Clusia, It’ll be difficult for you to grow in the entertainment industry in the future,” Hugo voiced 
He was extremely worried about Evangeline. 
Evangeline said calmly. “Then Til just have to win first place. If winning first place can not stop those people from talking, I will shoot them down.” 
Hugo was rendered speechless. 
Steven pushed Arthur away and walked up to Evangeline with a worried look on his face. “We also hope you can win first place, but it’s not that easy. I heard that a famous mercenary is also joining the competition. He has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, and he always started a livestream on the battlefield. He is a very dangerous man. I don’t know about the players from other countries, but none of them are easy,” Steven uid 
Evangeline nodded calmly and responded, “Yes, I know. But I am better. 
Steven was speechless. 
Evangeline raised her hand, clenched her fist in front of him, and said with a smile, “Do you want me to punch you so that I can show you my strength 
Steven was so frightened that he hurried to hide behind Arthur. He shook his head vigorously. 
“If you hit me with a whip, I would be glad to let you do it, but not with your fists,” he said, 
Evangeline pinched her chin thoughtfully and said, “So you have this kind of desire. I couldn’t have guessed.” 
Steven immediately denied it, saying, “Tin not a pervert. I’m a gentleman!”

Y28. 

Evangeline flashed a half–smile and had a “believe it or not look. 
Unable to explain himself, Steven decided not to continue and dragged Arthur and Hugo into it. 
He smirked and said, “Actually, I’m not the most perverted person. Arthur and Hugo are much more strange than me. I was originally a gentleman. It’s them who made me like this!” 
Then, Arthur and Hugo teamed up and hit Steven 
Steven was beaten up so badly that he ran to a corner in the hotel and shouted, “Evangeline, save me. They’re furious because I expose them. You must be aware of these two perverts true colors! They’re not only perverts but also violent! Unlike me. I’m just a simple pervert. Ouch. Please don’t hit my face. Spank my bottom” 
Evangeline could not help laughing 
While the 
they were bickering with each other, she ordered some food and wine. 
The food was served. 
The four of them ate and drank. 
With swollen eyes, Steven poured a glass of wine and walked up to Evangeline. He said thoughtfully. “Evangeline, since you have made up your mind. I won’t persuade you anymore. I wish you all the best!” 
Evangeline clinked glasses with him and said, “Thank you” 
Hugo proposed a toast to her and said, “Evangeline, you look very confident. Since that’s the case, I’ll choose to believe in you. When the competition starts, I’ll bet everything on you winning first place this year 
Evangeline smiled and clinked her glasses with him. “You’re destined to make a lot of money, Evangeline said. 
Arthur said. “I’ll wait for 
your return.” 
Evangeline was silent for a while. 
The Gallagher family had been punished, so she might not return to Hofcaster. 
At first, she thought it would take a year or two to deal with the whole family- 
Unexpectedly, it only took less than two months for the Gallagher family to be ruined completely. 
She had to admit that Jungle Survival had helped a lot. 
If it weren’t for Dallas, who set Meghan and Samson up to tarnish the Gallagher family’s reputation in Jungle Survival and consequently affected the family’s image, Gallagher Group, and Superb Entertainment negatively, no matter how stupid the Gallagher family was, they would not be destroyed so soon. 
Although Edward was somewhat capable, no one could make up for the trouble Meghan and Samson had caused. 
If it was her, she could not think of a way to turn the tables. 
It was luck that helped her successfully take her revenge. 
Evangeline drank with them until late at night. 
She only knew Arthur was not a good drinker but did not expect Steven and Hugo to be the same. 
She was not yet drunk, while the tiree of them had already started to fumble around. 
After getting drunk, Arthur ran outside and put all the pebbles from the pots in his pocket. No one could stop him. 
Evangeline tried to stop him. He looked at her warily and asked, “Do you want to stop me from making a fortune, or are you trying to take my gold 
Evangeline reminded him, “These are not gold” 
Arthur sneered and said, “You scheming woman. You’re purposely lying to me and saying they’re not gold to chase me away and keep the gold for

yourself, right? Humph. I won’t fall for it! I’m smart!” 
Evangeline was rendered speechless. 
Evangeline could only contact Arthur’s assistant Gerald to come over and look after him and pay the hotel for the damage. 
Steven and Hugo were no better. 
After getting drunk, they had a strange desire to win in a weird competition 
They went to the bathroom hand in hand and competed to see who could pee further. 
The hotel staff looked terrified and did not dare to approach them. 
As they swayed their bodies, their pee spilled everywhere. 
Evangeline was silent. 
It makes sense now why they are so close to each other, she thought. 
In comparison, Arthur looked much more normal and was not as embarrassed as them. 
Evangeline asked Gerald to contact Steven’s and Hugo’s assistants to pick them up, and she left the hotel alone. 
When Arthur woke up the next day with a pile of pebbles in his arms, he called Evangeline, who had left Hofcaster and went to Lumonburg. 
Evangeline went to a mansion on the outskirts of Lumonburg. 
After walking into the mansion, she bypassed several corridors and went through a door. Then, there was a staircase leading to the underground. 
She walked down the stairs.

There were many rooms in the underground. Many people in white coats were doing Evangeline when they saw her through the window, 
Evangeline walked to a room, scanned her fingerprints, and the locked door slowly opened. 
was a VIP ward. 
There was a bed in the middle. A thin girl lay on it with many feeding tubes connected to her body. 
Evangeline walked to the bed and stared at the girl for a long time. 
The girl’s skin was so pale, and her body was so thin that it could break when touched. 
“Naomi, I’m going to avenge you. Dexter and I have been preparing for this day for a long time. We’ll make those who hurt you pay the price. When we return, please wake up, okay? If you don’t say anything. I’ll take it as a yes, uttered Evangeline. 
Evangeline’s gaze looked a little darkened. She touched Naomi’s cheek reluctantly and then turned around to leave. 
Instead of lingering any longer, she went straight to the airport and boarded a plane bound for Nardor. 
Seven days later, the shooting of Season 18 of Xtreme Survival officially started.
