"Can I come with you?" Elsa asked, her face covered in gloom.
Charlie shook his head and said softly, "Wait for me here. I won't let Quintin hurt you..." Charlie paused and then continued, "Most importantly, Olivia needs you here."
Elsa's eyes brimmed with tears and she nodded. "Please take your cellphone with you."
Charlie laughed. "Didn't you already ask Evelyn to get it for me? Don't worry. Go back to the dormitory. Call me or text me if there's any emergency."
Elsa nodded slowly. "I will. Take care of yourself."
"I'll pick you up for breakfast tomorrow morning. Sound good?" Charlie asked with a warm smile.
Elsa nodded again with a faint smile on her lips. Charlie said his goodbye and signaled her to go back to her dormitory. After he was sure that she was inside and had closed the door, he turned and walked downstairs. After greeting the dorm keeper curtly, he went to Ezra's car parked outside.
Evelyn was waiting with his cell phone in her hand. She told Charlie that she wanted to go with him to find Quintin, but Charlie refused bluntly. He told her that it was between Quintin and him, and that no one else needed to interfere, including her.
Evelyn was a reasonable girl. Although she was worried about Charlie, she knew that it was best to leave it to the men. "Fine. Take care. Promise me..." Evelyn pressed her lips together into a thin line and blinked her big eyes with an innocent look.
Ezra gazed at Evelyn. He realized that the reason why he had fallen in love with this girl was only because of those cute innocent expressions. No one could deny that Evelyn was a tough woman, but sometimes she was so gentle. Ezra broke into a smile seeing her expression at that moment.
Charlie nodded his head, understanding what she meant and then left with Ezra. Evelyn watched the car disappear out of her sight and then went back to the dormitory with a heavy heart.
Bess didn't come back to the dormitory because she had to drive Quintin home. So, Evelyn sat in front of her computer to play Dragon. She had been playing for so long that she had to take an elixir because her blood was running out. Evelyn was annoyed and upset. So, all she wanted to do was kill some time. She didn't use her first-class equipment. Instead, she used the wooden sword that she had picked up from the new players village which she had kept in her armory all this time. With no enthusiasm whatsoever, she fought against the big boss with only the wooden sword. Blood level of the boss sometimes reduced. At other times, a red 'miss' was displayed on the screen.
[Present] Wind: What's wrong with Legendary Past?
[Present] Cherry Blossoms Rain In Paris: It would take several days to kill the big boss if this continues...
[Present] Hibiscus Brother In Law: Alas, now the relationship between all the characters is clear, and there is nothing to gossip about. It's so boring.
[Present] Sister Feng's Ancestor: That's all right. You can just go ahead and establish an abnormal relationship with some player. I bet you can become a celebrity overnight.
[Present] Hibiscus Brother In Law: Fuck off! I'm not looking for trouble. Besides, I'm no match for Legendary Past.
[Present] Cherry Blossoms Rain In Paris: ......
Evelyn was originally in a bad mood, and she was even more annoyed by the gossips in the present channel.
[Present] Legendary Past: Fuck off if you don't want to be killed. You all have three seconds.
[Present] Sister Feng's Ancestor: What? Three seconds is not enough to sing a song, Goddess Legendary Past.
[Present] Legendary Past: Then, you are left with no other choice. Disappear.
The wooden sword in her hand was immediately replaced by the Dark Wizard's magic wand. A dark blue light appeared at the tip of the wand, forming a powerful air shield in an instant. A horrifying music started playing as she waved her wand. Boom! The big boss fell to the ground and all the other players also fell one by one.
[Present] Hibiscus Brother In Law: Thank you, Goddess... It is so comfortable lying on this cold ground.
Evelyn rolled her eyes and went back to the city. She hung around the Dragon City for a while, sorted out everything she had gained by defeating the Boss and then sold it on her other game account. She shut down her system after a while and went for a bath. She lay in bed, rolling left and right, unable to sleep.
Finally, she grabbed her phone and dialed Bess' number.
"Hello?" Bess answered the phone in a sleepy voice. "Hello, Evelyn? What's wrong?"
Evelyn rolled her eyes and answered, "What's wrong? Come on! I'm itching to know what's going on."
Bess rubbed her eyes and sat up. She turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the time before saying helplessly, "It's past three o'clock at night! Why aren't you asleep?" "It had been quite some time since Charlie went to look for Quintin. How do you think it's going between them?" Evelyn asked in a concerned tone. Bess knew that she had to answer Evelyn's questions with patience, so she got up to pour herself a glass of water to moisten her throat. "I don't know the specifics. I only know that they are in some bar right now. Ezra didn't want to accompany them, so he left. But Shaun is with them."
