Chapter 86 - I Think You Are In Love

After stepping out of the dungeon, Liam weaved through the crowd with his two pets clinging close to him.

As he was walking suddenly the sea of crowd parted, allowing a group of people to walk through.

Liam paused and moved aside to stand on the sidelines. He knew exactly who these people were and why they were getting this sort of treatment.

The group of American players in front of him belonged to the guild 'Mythril Dominance' and it was one of the top 10 guilds not just in the game but also in the outside world.

And the seven members walking towards the dungeon portal were the main powerhouses of the guild.

He quickly flipped open the leaderboard and just as he had expected, he could already see their names on the chart.

He could almost recognize every single name on the chart. These were the people whom he had yearned to be like and looked up to as a role model in his previous life.

Back then, it was like a distant dream but now…

Liam shook his head and began to walk out of the crowd heading away from the dungeon when he suddenly felt as if he was being watched.

It was a distinct feeling and he immediately activated stealth, his figure blurring away from the place where he was standing.

Seconds after he had stepped away, a feisty redhead appeared at the same spot and she looked around with her eyes peeled.

"I swear… I just saw him here!" Alex sighed in exasperation.

All the other players standing around immediately stiffened up as all of a sudden a gorgeous creature had appeared near them

"Sis…" Rey spoke seriously. "I want to tell you something."

"What?" Alex growled back.

"I think… you are in love." He scratched his chin and continued speaking as if he had just now analyzed something complex.

"What… What did you say?" Alex turned around, no longer searching for Liam. Her focus was only on her younger brother standing in front of her!

"Aha ha. I mean… You are even seeing his face everywhere." Rey was already regretting his words.

"No. I dare you to repeat. What did you just say?" Alex took a few steps towards her brother, making the latter want to run away.

"Sis… guild members are watching. Please have mercy."

"Hmph. Do you think I care? Next time do not speak rubbish like this. Else forget the game, I will beat you up when you get out of the damn capsule!"

Alex took a deep breath, after which she returned back to her group once again, more calm and composed and with none of the earlier anger on her face.

Though every now and then she still looked around, still searching for the figure she had fleetingly seen in the crowd.

Liam, on the other hand, was long gone.

There were still a couple of days left for the black market to open up again and he only wanted to leave Yleka city after submitting his smithing quest and receiving the next part of the chain quest.

"Every single place I need to visit after this is a high-level zone. So I should just focus on leveling up for the next couple of days until the market opens up again."

"Hmmm… I should also probably log out and make sure that everything is alright."

…

…

…

When Liam logged out of the game and exited the game capsule, he could instantly hear loud music blaring through the whole apartment. He also heard a few voices.

"Huh? What is this girl up to?" He scratched his head and walked out of his room to the living room when the scene in front of him made him utterly speechless.

A bunch of random girls were jumping or dancing or working out or whatever it was that they were doing. He also spotted the next door neighbor and his sister at the front.

"Hope you don't mind. My apartment's power circuit tripped." Shen Yue muttered with her usual polite smile, slightly out of breath as she continued her movement.

"Please brother! Class is almost over! Just 5 more minutes!" Mei Mei chimed in, mirroring whatever the other person was doing. She was also out of breath.

Liam was speechless. Things around him were jiggling and shaking and moving too much. He took one look at this chaotic scene and did a u-turn returning back to his room.

He could even hear some giggling behind him but he didn't care and quickly shut the door. He had heard the words 5 minutes so he decided to take a shower first.

He also ordered a bunch of food for dinner. By the time he was done showering, the food had already arrived and it looked like the crowd in their apartment had also cleared out.

Only his sister and Shen Yue were collapsed on the floor of the living room. "Oh my god, the food smells so good." Shen Yue immediately exclaimed.

"Brother, sis is a big foodie. He He He." Mei Mei added.

"You are welcome to join us for dinner." Liam smiled politely. He didn't mind the intrusion as he was pleased to see his sister finally happy and smiling like a normal teenager.

"Waah! Thanks. Your brother is so nice, Mei Mei." Shen Yue chuckled and lifted her sweaty body from the floor.

"It's alright. I don't want to impose on you guys too much. Thanks for letting me use your apartment."

She waved goodbye when her stomach made a loud embarrassing grumbling sound. Mei Mei couldn't hold it in and ended up laughing loudly.

"Sis Yue, don't think too much. Just join us for dinner." She smiled brightly.

"Aha ha. Okay." Shen Yue nodded and agreed with an awkward smile. "Then I won't hold back. Let me wash up and come first."

After she left, Mei Mei turned around to give Liam a big thumbs up. "Huh? What is that for?"
