Re: Evolution Online

Back at the apartment, Liam looked at the bunch of idiots drinking and dancing happily. He simply smiled and did not plan on reprimanding them. Sometimes it was important to celebrate small victories.

After sending off the granny and the two guys who came along with her, he decided to head back to his room to rest a little. The past few hours, or rather days for him, were extremely tiring.

He had lost all track of time and it was simply training, training, and more training for him. But unexpectedly, the old elf chased him out today.

As he lay on the bed silently, his door creaked open and Shen Yue and Mei Mei tip-toed inside. "Brother, are you fine?"

"Huh? Of course, I am fine." Liam chuckled. He sat up straight to talk with these two. It had been a while since he had seen his sister. He was about to ask how she was doing… however… that seemed to be a reduntant question.

The little girl chimed in loudly with her important announcement without even Liam's prompting. "Brother, I upgraded my crown! Yay!" She jumped on him to give him a big hug and proudly declared. 

"By the time you are back from the elves place, I will be strong enough to fight with you! You don't have to leave me anymore when going to dangerous places. I can help you."

"Oh! I reached Level 50!"

"Sis Yue, also reached Level 50!"

Liam silently listened to the little girl and gave her a few head pats. After spending a lot of time with Luna, he now started doing this with all the women habitually. 

And, who knew, it appeared to be a crowd pleaser!

Mei Mei smiled brightly as she continued chattering non-stop. At this rate, he was not going to get any sleep, so Liam finally opened his mouth.

"By the way, since you reached Level 50, you should be able to take the elixir I made. Have you done that yet?"

"Oh?" Mei Mei's interest was immediately peaked.

"Is Mia still missing?"

"Yes, brother."

"In that case, take Alex and another good healer and take the elixir in their presence. Also, make sure everyone in the guild, core members, who reached level 50 does this."

"I don't think there are enough elixirs, so it is going to be first come, first serve." He casually said with a smile. "Oh, also post an announcement in the guild about this."

Mei Mei's eyes immediately started twinkling. Since Liam had given her an important job, she did not hang around anymore and quickly ran away to log back into the game. Everyone else was drunk, so she wanted to be the first to take the elixir.

And looking at the enthusiastic little girl, Shen Yue also prepared to do the same when Liam pulled her towards him. "You are not talking to me still?"

Shen Yue blushed and shook her head.

"I am innocent. She fell on top of me all on her own," Liam shrugged. Seeing the genuine and sincere expression on his face, Shen Yue couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You are a liar."

Liam smiled and hugged the warm figure tightly. "Good job, by the way."

"Huh? For level 50? I didn't do much."

Liam smiled. "I am not talking about that. I am talking about how you have managed to control your charm." This was the first thing he noticed because the party outside would have been disasterous otherwise.

"Ah… you noticed! I wanted to surprise you." Shen Yue blushed. She wore a warm smile on her face as she hugged him back tightly.

Taking her in, Liam sighed. "I missed you guys." After days of unending hellish training, even someone like him needed this type of a warm person.

"Sleep with me for a bit."

"What?" Shen Yue became bright red, but she soon realized what Liam meant. 

It was barely a few and he was already fast asleep, hugging her tightly. She closed her eyes with a smile and tried to get some sleep as well.

When Liam woke up, he groaned tiredly and got out of the bed, ignoring the enchantress next to him. It was difficult to do so, especially when she had such a cute sleeping face, but it was time to get back to the grind.

He stepped out of his room to have some warm breakfast when he noticed Alex sprawled on the floor like a dog flattened by a truck. 

It was extremely amusing to watch, and Liam couldn't stop himself from laughing. How many likes would he get if he exposed one of the top beauties of the world sleeping in this embarrassing position.

A groan snapped him out of his thoughts when he saw that Alex was also waking up. He walked closer and flicked her forehead. "Wake up, Miss sleepy head."

Alex heard the familiar voice and was instantly mortified. "Fuck!" She cursed out loud as she flashed her eyes open and stared at the person whom she absolutely did not want to see at the moment.

"What? You are not happy to see me? Yesterday night, you seemed very happy?" Liam took this opportunity to tease the fiesty redhead.

"What…" Alex dumbly stared. She then shook her head vigorously once again like a dog. "What are you blabbering? Anyway, are you going to come back to Gresh Kingdom or not? What is happening with the elves?" She quickly changed the topic at lightning fast speed.

Liam chuckled and sipped the coffee he made for himself. Now that he thought about it, there were some things that needed to be discussed.

"Now that the guild war is over, what is your plan?"

"Ummm… to set up and upgrade the shops, to upgrade our garrison. He he. That's right, we have a garrison now." Alex grinned from ear to ear as she sat up straight, composing herself. 

In the process, she kicked Rey hard in his butt, which she couldn't care less about. The other party also did not seem to mind as he turned the other side and continued sleeping along with the other people still sleeping on the living room floor.

Liam saw this and shook his head helplessly. "Come inside. We have a lot to discuss."

"Oh?" Alex quickly followed him and unexpectedly, the first thing Liam said was… "Forget the shops and garrison."
