At the audacious attitude of the self-proclaimed Destroyer, Manager Jang was left blinking in a daze, unable to comprehend. I decided to add some explanation.
“Kang Doha, that kid from earlier, punched the calculator and self-destructed, hyung-nim. It’s more advantageous to ensure he ends up last and gets the votes, rather than accidentally landing second and being stuck with it.”
If, by some stroke of luck, our team had ended up second in the previous situation, both Kang Doha and our team would have received six badges each.
In that case, if Kang Doha, for whatever reason, had been voted and lost three badges, his final count would have been three.
But what if we made our team finish third?
“If our team ends up last, he gets nine badges. Even if three are deducted, he still has six. He chose the guaranteed six over a potential three.”
“You, you…! You go on about sincerity…!”
It was indeed a loophole in the rules, but who would have thought, from the start, that someone would openly reveal their identity on a variety show just to ensure they finish last?
As another regular panel member pointed at Kang Doha with a betrayed expression, he shrugged nonchalantly.
“A spy simply pursues practicality.”
“Noona, these guys are really strange. They all seem a little unhinged.”
“Kairos is terrifying, really….”
At that point, I felt wrongly accused.
“No, hyung-nim, why me…? I’m innocent, you know?”
“Innocent at creating blunders… That’s even scarier.”
“Eh↗? No, what do you mean by blunders, that’s so unfair….”
The manager and another regular panel member put on a spectacular reaction, eagerly creating content for the show.
I could tell without even looking that all the participants and production crew had their eyes glued to our drama.
The attention was enough, and the drama had played out adequately.
Now, the important question was, how should we deal with the Destroyer Kang Doha?
I quietly scanned the opposing team members one more time, then proposed to my still-indecisive team.
“Guys, how about we take a gamble?”
“A gamble?”
“Let’s ditch Kang Doha.”
At my words, Kang Doha’s left eyebrow twitched.
I seriously began to persuade my teammates.
“Anyway, if we send Kang Doha out in his current state, he’s a minus. He has no intention of winning right now, doesn’t he? Look at these crazed eyes of his.”
“Well, that’s true… But can we win first place without Doha? Wouldn’t it be better to consider a deal to propose to him?”
“Just trust me this once. We just need to win five matches, right? It doesn’t matter if we have repeat participants?”
“Right.”
“I’ll go out with this guy and win all of them.”
I confidently stated, firmly grabbing the shoulder of the one who would become the gamble’s winning move.
