Avery was not one to hesitate often.
But this time, she paused for three seconds before finally admitting, "Noah Anderson."
Her mentor was a closely guarded secret, known only to her and no one else.
She could have lied, but that would mean she couldn't handle the game.
A genius's pride wouldn't let her back down, even in something as trivial as this.
It seemed all the other bright minds in the room felt the same way.
As her words lingered, the others exchanged glances, silently questioning why they had never heard of such an impressive person before.
The game pressed on.
In the eighth round, the Messenger spun the pointer and the wheel once more, landing on Avery again.
By now, it was clear to everyone that the Messenger was specifically targeting her.
The question from the wheel was, "What does your mentor do?"
Avery replied coolly, "No comment."
