Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 111  Lily's Trial!

"Wow Luis, you are ruthless even against your mother." Although she complained, the smile on her face betrayed her. She was very excited to see his growth.

Looking at his mother, Luis smiled and said, "Thanks, Mom!"

"Any time!" Lumine said with a smile and then asked, "Did you gain anything in this battle?"

Luis nodded and replied, "A lot! Now I have many ideas and combinations to practice in the future."

Lumine nodded and didn't ask anything about it.

Since they were done here, the three of them came out of the pocket space and Luis left for his room, leaving his words. "Mom, Dad, I'll see you at the dinner table."

He needed a shower because he was quite sweaty after his practice match.

Inside the room, Ronald turned to look at Lumine and asked.

"Why were you using the strength of a C-Rank?"

Lumine tilted her head and replied, "As I said before, I'll match my strength with his level. So I did. He has the strength of a C-Rank. So I faced him with equal power."

Ronald's lips twitched as he said, "He is just a D rank!"

"Does it matter?" Lumine questioned and continued, "Luis' strength is far higher than any other D-rank human out there."

"His amazing talents, his affinities, his will to work hard, and the high-grade resources he takes. You can also see how amazing his foundation has become."

"His physical strength is amazing and his mana reserve is also much higher than any other human of his level."

"Just from these, you can see how serious he is about his goal." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I, as his mother, should do my best to support him."

"In this match with me, his purpose wasn't to defeat me but to find out what he was lacking."

"And you can see from his expression that he got what he wanted."

"So, it doesn't matter. If the fight was unfair or not."

Ronald was speechless since he didn't expect to be lectured by her. But Lumine didn't wait for him to say anything and went towards the bathroom, leaving another sentence.

"I'll go take a bath."

Ronald looked at her curiously and murmured, "But you didn't even sweat. Do you need a shower now?"

Lumine stopped and gave him a dangerous glare. "It's not because of the match but the mess you made that I haven't cleaned up yet."

When Ronald heard this, he immediately remembered what they were doing before Luis came here and coughed dryly.

Lumine looked at him scornfully and went inside the bathroom.

Ronald, who was left there, sighed as he thought inwardly. 'It seems she is also irritated that we couldn't finish earlier.'

'And I have to be the outlet of her anger once again.'

*Sigh!*

'Everything is Luis' fault!' Thinking of his son, he once again became angry.

After taking a shower, Luis changed into another set of clothes.

He wanted to check the surveillance data Lily had collected about the core targets. But since it was time for dinner, he decided to do it later.

"Lily, excluding all the data regarding core targets, summarize them for me. I'll check it later."

{Okay, Master~}

"As for the Core Targets, I'll check them in detail," Luis mumbled while leaving the room.

After dinner.

Back in his room. Luis was looking at the ceiling, thinking about the atmosphere at the time of dinner.

'Dad seemed really angry at me.'

'Alicia seemed a little lost in thought and gave small glances at me.'

'Uncle David didn't say anything from start to finish.'

'Mom seemed kinda angry at Dad, too.'

"Ah well, whatever, I should get started and finish everything before I sleep," Luis mumbled as he sat on his bed and said, "Lily, based on Alicia's preferences. Give me some suggestions for tomorrow's date."

Luis knew that Lily and Alicia were good chat buddies and they were very close, like sisters. So Lily should know what kind of things Alicia likes.

Showing a curious look, Luis waited for her answer. But Lily's answer was something he didn't expect.

{Master, Sister Alicia had asked me to not tell you about these things. Do you want to use your authority?}

Lily's voice sounded a bit hesitant as she said that. If she could, Lily didn't want to betray her sister's trust in her. But she also can't go against her master's order. That's why she was in a dilemma.

When Luis heard this, he was surprised. Not because Alicia forbade her to tell him. But because Lily was showing a sad and guilty look.

'Is she that emotionally attached to Alicia?' Luis wasn't angry at Lily for showing these emotions. Instead, he was quite interested in the choice she would make if he would ask her. So he decided to test her.

"Tell me Lily, what do you want to do?"

{If the Master wants, I will do it.} Lily said with a grim face.

Luis shook his head and said, "No, what I want to know is what you really want to do in your heart. If you have to choose one over the other. What you will choose?"

{Please don't make me say that Master!} Lily was afraid and sad, as she looked at Luis pitifully.

Luis had an expressionless face as he uttered. "Just answer me? Whom will you choose Lily?"

Lily lowered her head, depressed, and said, {I'll follow your orders, Master.}

Giving her a blank look, Luis stated, "You are lying, Lily!"

When Lily heard this, her hologram body trembled. If a third party saw this scene, they would think that Luis was bullying this cute little girl.

Well, he was. So it's not wrong.

Anyway, Lily's body trembled with guilt and fear. She was a little girl who was caught lying.

Looking at her appearance, Luis chuckled inwardly and continued, "You know, Lily, I'm a little disappointed in you. I didn't expect you to lie to me."

Lily raised her small head to look at Luis with tears in her eyes. Then gripping her skirt, she said.

{Wuu! I'm-I'm s-sorry Master! P-Please forgive me!}
