Sloane's slender fingers danced swiftly across the screen . With a quick dash from her second skill , she dodged the enemy's key control abilities , then unleashed her ultimate move , ' Flowery Potential . In an instant , pink petal effects bloomed across the screen as Diao Chan twirled gracefully within the magic circle . Seamlessly weaving her first skill , ' Explosion of Fragrance , ' into her ultimate , she dealt massive damage in a fluid , dazzling combo that left the spectators stunned . The enemy heroes ' health bars drained rapidly . Kill after kill , she dominated the virtual battlefield . " Victory ! " The opponents surrendered . Samson excitedly whipped out his phone . " Sloane , come on , let's play a match ! Let me show you how slick I am with Arli ! " He said as he eagerly launched the game . Sloane glanced at his stats , then smiled and agreed , " Alright . " Just then , a knock sounded at the door . Benjamin looked helplessly at the two already engrossed in their phones . " Samson ... " Waving him off impatiently , Samson said , " Ah , it's just the Rivers family head wanting to apologize to Lucas or whatever . Don't worry about it . " Then , he buried himself back in the game . Benjamin sighed and resigned himself to handling the matter outside . Lucas frowned slightly as he glanced at the two heads huddled together but ultimately said nothing . Bonding over the game , Sloane and Samson ended up adding each other as friends , even planning to team up again sometime . Later , after the banquet ended , Samantha locked herself in her room , refusing to come out no matter how much Adrian and the others tried to comfort her .

" Sammy , there's only a week left until school starts . I've already asked Molly to pack your things : When the time comes , Adrian will take you to campus . Helen said , her heart swelling with pride as she looked at the brilliant daughter she had so carefully nurtured . Boone and Conrad immediately jumped in . " I'll take Sammy too ! " " How could I miss sending Sammy off on her first day ? " Samantha shot Sloane a smug glance and pretended to suddenly remember , " Oh right , what about Sloane ? " Boone wrinkled his nose in disdain . " Her ? She's useless . Better for her to stay home and not embarrass the Rivers family . " Conrad chimed in , " Exactly . What school would even want someone her ? " Sloane felt her appetite vanish ; even her favorite butter bun tasted like ash . Couldn't these people let me eat in peace for once ? Hearing the conversation , Marshall grew pensive . " It would be an embarrassment for the Rivers family to have a daughter with only a middle school education . I know Mr. Ray of St. Fortuna .
