Rivalry: Infinite Buff

Chapter 15- Sweet You

SovereignKing, "Hi, bro! What’s up?”

SovereignKing, "Are you the Bishop in Epic? I didn’t know you were so good at games!”

SovereignKing, “How do you think about the offer I provided before? Come on! Join my Sovereign Guild! You and I, we will master the game together!"

Ivan couldn’t find any word to describe his mood. He had no idea how SovereignKing could talk to him like a friend after killing him twice in a row.

Ivan replied with anger, "Sounds interesting!”

SovereignKing, "Great! I know you’ll figure it out...You couldn’t find a better choice than my Sovereign Guild!"

However, Ivan continued, "Annual salary $500,000!"

"Sorry?" SovereignKing couldn’t believe what Ivan demand.

Ivan repeated, "$500,000 per year. Any problem?"

Clearly, as the leader of the guild, SovereignKing wasn’t getting used to being hassled. “Are you crazy? Do you know how much money you’re talking about? I’m telling you, the best number you can get is no more than $300,000 per year even though you’re the CEO of some multinational company. How dare you?”

In contrast to the anger of SovereignKing, Ivan answered delightfully, "Oh? Then we have nothing to talk anymore. Leave me alone if you can't afford this.”

SovereignKing read the message then replied, "You! You will regret what you did today! Give me your coordinate and I will show you…”

Ivan wasn’t provoked at all, "Show me what? Show me who is the boss here? Is this the only line you can say? Find me if you can. I am waiting for you!" Sending out the last message, Ivan clenched his fist and ended the chat.

Ivan turned back to Mr. Logan again. If he hadn’t been in the battle, he wouldn’t have been able to find a clue to connect the vulnerable to NPC and Mr. Logan. With MP exhausted, Mr. Logan’s face was as pale, like a beautiful fragile crystal doll.  Ivan stared at Mr. Logan as if he were appreciating an artifact.

"Have you seen enough? Give me a hand!" Mr. Logan still acted as the toughest warrior under the circumstances.

Ivan would never say no to such an appealing offer from a beautiful woman. He ran to Mr. Logan, then his right arm wrapped around Mr. Logan’s waist, Ivan easily helped her up. No one knew how hard it was for Ivan to keep his hand from moving to other places other than Mr. Logan’s waist.

"Mr. Logan, how can you..." Clearly, ToughBlazer knew well what’s going on in Ivan’s mind.

Seeing ToughBlazer standing on a shaking foot, Ivan began to admire the tough and loyal Assassin. He clearly knew there was a reason to be annoyed with Ivan. 

As the successor of Loda city, Mr. Logan always shown as an isolated and invincible warrior. However, in the open, for everyone to see,  she was in the arms of a player who came out of nowhere.

“It’s okay. He just saved our lives. Be nice, ToughBlazer!" She commented. Even though Mr. Logan tried to pass along the message that she was not concerned by the situation, she was clearly not comfortable being so close to a strange man, and especially not when she felt Ivan’s breath on her face. 

Ivan was not enchanted by the situation as he thought he would be. He was only a high school student and had never had the opportunity to be so close to a hot woman. Ivan could feel his body reacting before they even made it ten steps, he had to do something quickly.

Stopping in their tracks, Ivan said, “Mr. Logan, it must be painful to walk like this. Why don’t you let me carry you to Leaf Town?”

Before Mr. Logan had time to answer, Ivan bent down and reached out to grab her legs. However, with Mr. Logan on his back, Ivan could feel her chest rubbing against his back. All he could think about her lovely shape as he moved his hands up her legs until he reached her a*s. He was struggling within himself not to squeeze it just before he awkwardly apologized, “Sorry! Please forgive me!”

"Hum…" Mr. Logan didn’t blame Ivan, but she could have torn him into a million little pieces. 

Luckily, they were not far from Leaf Town and it only took a few minutes before they reached the center of town. The peaceful town was not there anymore but replaced by collapsed buildings and wounded citizens. Several groups of citizens were going in and out of different buildings, searching for HP. No one realized the people who were partially responsible for the disaster was standing among them.

"It's all my fault, " sighed Mr. Logan.

"Um?" Ivan was surprised to hear such a confession from the tough woman.

Mr. Logan continued as if Ivan was not there, "My mother died when I was born, so my father named me after his favorite wife. I guess you heard from ToughBlazer, my father is the Lord of Loda City. As the eldest child, I am born to be the successor of Loda city. People have always called me Mr. Logan instead of my name since the very first day, however, no one cares if I like it or not."

After a short pause, Mr. Logan repeated, “No one cares if I like it or not…I don’t like it…I don’t…”

At that moment, Ivan could see the girl standing in front of him was not the successor of Loda City but a fragile girl.

"Sometimes, ToughBlazer will call me by my name, Fiona, rather than Mr. Logan but that is only when it is just the two of us. I guess you can see how old-fashioned he is. He has always been by my side since I was a little girl. I can’t imagine how I would take it if there was a day when he treated me like everyone else.”

"Fiona..." ToughBlazer sobbed.

Mr. Logan and ToughBlazer seemed to be get emotional, but, Ivan was not in the mood to find the connection with some NPCs in the game.

“Yeah, everything will be fine. It will be fine!” Ivan knew he had to ask an important question, “Nothing personal, but do you have the so-called HP fragment or not?”

After a long silence, Fiona finally talked again, "Yes, I do."

Ivan was surprised, "You do?"
