As late afternoon bled into evening, and after having their fill of the beach, the group gathered next to the villa. They met at a separate pavilion designed for barbecues, featuring a large wooden table for outdoor dining. The staff had already prepared a feast: lobster, king crab, jumbo prawns, oysters, and fish were currently sizzling on the grill. They were also prepping chicken and beef along with rolls for anyone wanting to make sandwiches. Dennis, Daisy, Gary, Olivia, Jason, and Kimberly sat around the table waiting for the meal to be served, still in their swimwear with only bathrobes or beach cover-ups thrown over them.
"It looks like we're ready for the sparring match later," Olivia remarked.
"Strategically, yes. But honestly, I'm still curious about our individual strengths—especially yours, Dennis," Gary said, glancing over at him.
"Huh? Me?" Dennis asked.
