In the living room.
"It seems someone had fun earlier"
Alice who was sitting on the sofa and watching TV suddenly turned her head to the side and saw the huge smile on Michaelās face just as he had left his room and made his way over to the living room.
"Really?" Michael is looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, itās so obvious with that huge grin on your face" Alice laughed with her head turned towards Michael.
While walking towards the direction of the kitchen, Michael said, "Maybe...itās because Amanda and I are officially dating now?"
"Oh my! Really!?"
Alice sounded really surprised, but Michael noticed that thereās not even a single shred of surprise in her eyes.
āHmm...could those people really sent by my parents to keep an eye on me or...on the two of us?ā
While having those thoughts inside his head, Michael served himself a glass of milk and then made his way over to the living room and sat on the sofa with his mother.
"Make sure to bring her home, okay?" Alice suddenly said to Michael the moment he sat down.
"Uhh...why?" said Michael as he turned towards his mother.
Alice exaggeratedly gestured her head when she heard what Michael said.
"Isnāt it obvious? I want to see if sheās really suitable for you, and at the same time, get to know her"
Michael almost snorted with a laugh when he heard her.
"I think sheās quite fine"
"You say that, but I havenāt assessed her yet" Alice grinned like a mischievous child.
"Ahh...didnāt you already met her before though?" Michael said as he took a sip of his milk.
"But we only met for a brief moment so we still donāt know each other that well, so make sure to bring her home next time, okay?" Alice smiled at him.
But Michael only saw a threatening smile on her face, so in the end, he couldnā help but agree in the end.
"Fine, but Iāll still need to ask her if sheās okay with it"
"Come on, who wouldnāt want to meet the parents of their lovers?"
Then Alice raised an eyebrow at Michael.
"Donāt tell me you donāt want her to officially meet us?"
Michael rolled his eyes, but he wasnāt looking at Alice, instead, heās looking straight towards the television in front of them.
"Geez, okay. Iāll bring her next time"
Alice suddenly beamed when she finally heard what she wanted to hear from Michael.
"Good, then bring her home soon"
Michael then turned towards her and asked, "Anyway, whereās the old man? Heās not always home lately and itās always the two of us here"
Alice answered, "Ohh, heās busy with work. Donāt worry about it"
Michael made that eye movement when you think someoneās answer is suspicious.
"Okay~"
"Whatās your level in the game now?" Alice asked, trying to change the subject.
"Oh, Iām already Level 41" Michael smiled.
Alice turned towards him in surprise and said, "Really? Youāre fast, doesnāt that make you the highest leveled player then?"
Michael shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess so, not like it matters to me anyway"
Alice then gave him a quick glance before focusing on watching the show on the television, as both of them watched in silence.
A couple of days earlier.
"What? Youāre telling me that the team that was sent to ambush the people from Wandering Souls was wiped out by a team from Flame Rose Guild and a team of Blood Guards!?"
Orkhon was just about to start a company meeting between his executives and him when he suddenly received a call telling him that the players that their guild sent to assassinate some important members from Wandering Souls were instead wiped out by a group of NPCs, and whatās worse is that one of the groups who joined the killing of their members is just an upstart guild!
Which is unacceptable for him! It wouldāve been fine if they were killed by a group of NPCs, but getting wiped out by players from a third rate guild is like a stain in their name and reputation as one of the behemoth guilds!
Bang!
"How is that possible!? We planned this for a long time!" Orkhon angrily slammed his palm on top of the expensive table in front of him.
While the executives who came to attend todayās company meeting just sat there stiffly, as they just listened to Orkhon, not daring to say anything that would incur his wrath today.
"Youāre telling me that a third rate guild was able to fight one of our elite teams in an even ground!? How is that possible!? Are you shitting with me this early in the morning!?" Orkhonās eyes had turned red from anger listening to one of his menās reports.
"Found out what truly happened! I refuse to think that a third rate guild would have the guts to attack our people!" Orkhon angrily slammed his hand on the table before hanging up the call.
But he had clearly forgotten that the guild that heās been labeling as a third rate had managed to hold their ground against one of their branch guilds in the game before, and they even caused their branch guild some serious losses.
Especially to their items that they had dropped for the members of Flame Rose Guild to pick up.
"Everyone, Iām sorry that you had to witness that"
Orkhon looked at every single executive sitting in front of him one by one with a smiling expression on his face, acting like what the people saw earlier was just an illusion because they canāt even see a trace of his wrathful self earlier.
āPresident is truly scaryā
āHe really deserves his title as the Two-Faced Gentlemanā
āI hope the meeting today would end well of usā
Everyone had different thoughts swimming through their minds, but outside, they just smiled in understanding and acted like they didnāt see or hear anything about what happened earlier.
"Well, as you guys must have heard earlier..."
