"Leaving overnight?" Lin Fu was taken aback, then quickly realized why Ivan had said that, but she decisively shook her head in refusal.
"I can't leave."
"Why won't you leave?" Anton rushed forward, raising his voice, "Mervin was fine before, and there was still hope if we tried hard enough. Now that Mervin's injury will keep him from participating, we have no chance of taking first place. Are you staying here to face Military Court, to wait for prison?"
"Anton, calm down."
"Sorry!"
Anton rubbed his cheeks in frustration, took a few steps away, turned his back, clearly angry.
"Lin Fu, listen to me." Ivan put his hands on Lin Fu's shoulders, gazing directly into her eyes, seriously saying, "The situation is different now. We don't want to deny ourselves, but we can't joke with your life."
