Nonetheless, J wasn't a bit fazed by this, he was aware of Kruger's presence beforehand after all. He simply reached into his chest pocket and took out a cigar and a lighter, acting as though he only parked to take a few puff."Good. You're to hack into the security system of the base.

The Chance CHAPTER EIGHT: The Combat
" I don't understand this at all. According to what you told us,we were instructed to return back with the flag which was located around the mountain. This means that the team or the person from a team who returns with the flag would be the winner and not the other team. I returned here early with the flag which means my team won and not the other team."" We need an explanation for this Sir. I brought the flag which means my team should be awarded the required points and not the other team." Richard said with anger and confusion spitting from his eyes." I know that this announcement will look strange both to the two teams because it's clear from your activities the team that should be declared the winner under normal circumstances should be Team A because Richard was the only one that returned back here with the flag but the rationale behind this stage cut across accomplishing and winning this stage.""
