Emma and William are looking at . I smile and nod.
"Yeah, this is my friend, Max. We played together for quite a while now."
Emma is humming with understanding.
"Nice to et you too, Max. You can call Emma."
Williams looks at Becker and nods.
"Nice to et you too, Max!"
I look at Emma and tilt my head toward Ivonna.
"What's going on over there? It seems serious."
Emma is pointing at Aksevel.
"Ivonna is giving him a warning and to not make trouble in here. I don't think that he would listen to her, I think there's sothing wrong with his head. He's such an arrogant brat. Anyway, we are here because Ivonna asked us to bring you there."
I'm pointing at myself while raising my eyebrows.
"? Why? Does she needs sothing from ?"
Becker is patting on my back.
"Let's go! I want to see what's going on over there!"
I look at Becker and he's grinning. I sigh and stand up.
"Alright, lead the way..."
We approach Ivonna and Aksevel imdiately glares at . I can tell that he's really pissed right now and he hates now for sure. Chelsea turns around and looks at in the eyes. She rolls her eyes and sighs. I chuckle when I see her expression. Ivonna looks at and nods, but then she notices that soone new is walking beside .
Aksevel is grunting angrily.
"What the f*ck do you guys want?! Can you just f*cking mind your own damn business?!"
Ivonna is crossing her arms and staring at Aksevel.
"You're telling us to mind our own business and yet you're interfering and troubling the other parties. You should know how it feels now, right?"
Ivonna is pointing at the players that are watching the raid from the forest.
"Those people ca here to enjoy the show, and yet your clan mbers are killing them for what? As a clan leader, you should know that all the mbers in your clan are your responsibility. If they're making trouble, you're obligated to take the responsibility for it."
Aksevel is raising his eyebrow.
"I have to take responsibility for it? Why should I? If the ga itself allows the players to kill another player, then that ans the ga itself is encouraging players from doing so. Then why should I take the responsibility for it? You should complain about it to the person who made this ga. Oh right, he's already dead. So, you can do nothing about it. Now go away and don't f*cking tell what to do!"
Ivonna and her friends are shocked by Aksevel's words. They're slowly looking at . I know that they're all staring at , but right now, I'm trying my best to not get pissed while clenching my fists so tightly. I'm glaring at Aksevel and if I could punch him in the face and hope that he wakes up from the pod with bruises, then I would do it. But then I rember that Becker is standing right next to . I'm wondering what kind of expression he's making right now, so I turn around and look at him. Becker is just smiling as if doesn't bother about it at all. I don't know how is he feeling right now after he heard what Aksevel said.
Aksevel looks at and pointing at .
"And you. Do you think just because you're good in the ga you can act like a boss around here? Go back and drive those clients of yours so you can shove food in your mouth. You piece of human trash can only act superior in the ga."
I smirk and raise my eyebrow. But then Emma runs past and punches Aksevel in the face. Everyone is gasping and covering their mouths while smiling happily. Emma is pulling his collar and glaring at him angrily.
"Shut your f*cking mouth! Don't talk sh*t about soone else's if you live by leeching your parents' money! People like you would never understand!"
Aksevel removes Emma's hands forcefully from his collar. Aksevel fixes his clothes and then looks at Emma while scoffing.
"Don't be poor then. That's not my problem if you're being poor, that's your parent's problem and fault. Don't put the bla on for what you can't have. People like you are the one who keeps leeching money from us. Begging money for food. You can sell your body if you don't have money."
Emma is speechless and staring at Aksevel with despise. Emma then turns around and walks past Ivonna and Francesca. They both are looking at Emma with concern. Emma then stops in front of . I weakly smile and rub her head to comfort her. Becker is looking at Emma with worries and then he looks at Aksevel.
Aksevel is clicking his tongue.
"Are you guys done? Is there anything else you want to complain about? huh?"
Aksevel closes the book and turns around.
"I'm f*cking done here. Not in real life, not in-ga. There are always people who are f*cking annoying..."
Aksevel leaves the area for good this ti since I believe he can't do anything anymore because his minions are all dead and have to wait for tomorrow until he can summon them again. Ivonna, Francesca, and Grisell are running toward and check on Emma. She's still looking down.
Francesca is pressing her hand on Emma's back gently.
"Em, are you okay?"
Emma weakly shakes her head. She sighs and looks away.
"I'm gonna go log out."
Emma then logs out from the ga. Ivonna, Grisell, and Francesca are looking at each other and then nod. Ivonna looks at us.
"We are going to check on Emma. So, We will see you guys later."
We nod and then they log out from the ga.
Aspen raises his eyebrows.
"Wow, that guy is a jerk, huh? That's too much. Anyway, it seems that we have to go our separate ways. There's sothing else I have to do."
Aspen looks at Jake and Jacob and then he nods.
"Thanks for the fun, guys. We will see you all later. Bye!"
Aspen, Jake, and Jacob leave the forest while waving at us.
It's just , Mike, Leo, Hans, William, Chelsea, and Becker now. We are standing in silence and just looking at each other. Chelsea is checking the map and then looks at .
"Trev, do you know how to get to this place?"
I raise my eyebrows and look at the map. Chelsea is pointing at the Klaagliad Forest or the Mourning Forest is what it literally ans. I look at Chelsea and I'm surprised that she wants to go there. It's a forest that can play with the player's mind. It's pretty much a psychological horror place. Where players have to find an item and retrieve it without losing their sanity. So far, there are still no players that succeed in retrieving the item. Many have tried and failed miserably.
"Are you planning on going there on your own?"
Chelsea is nodding.
"Yeah, why?"
Becker is grinning while looking at Chelsea.
"Are you sure, Miss? That place is horrifying. No matter how brave you are, there will always be sothing that scares you. It will stimulate and activate your brain cell called the amygdala. To put it simply, that's the cell that stimulates the brain and makes you feel... a fear."
Chelsea is looking at Becker for quite a while and then looks at and shrugs.
"That sounds cool. I'm getting more interested in this place now thanks to you, Mister stranger."
Becker is giggling.
"You can call Max. I'm Trevor's friend. I like you, Miss. You seem and sounds cool."
Chelsea is chuckling.
"You can call Chelsea. Nice to et you, Max."
Michael and the others are approaching us and get to know Becker since they're curious about him. Becker is welcod by them and imdiately chuckling and laughing with them. It makes really happy to see him surrounded by people, especially that those people are my friends.
They're curious about what we just discussed and Chelsea imdiately clicking her tongue while glaring at Michael, but she still tells them what we were talking about. They're interested in that forest as well, and they have been wanting to check that forest. So, we are agreed to explore the forest together, and of course, we have to tell the ladies about it.
Becker looks at the ti and then he clears his throat.
"I have to go now. I still have a project that needs to be done soon."
Michael nods.
"Alright, see you later Max. Don't forget that we have a house near Fjel town. You can co over whenever you want."
Becker nods happily.
"I will. See you all later!"
(In Emma's room.)
Ivonna, Francesca, and Grisell are surrounding Emma who is sitting on the couch. Francesca is wrapping her arm around Emma's neck.
"You don't have to listen to that guy, seriously."
Emma isn't talking and just staring at nothing. Ivonna is worried, but she doesn't know what to do to cheer her up. Grisell suddenly chuckles mischievously while staring at her phone. Emma finally moves her body and stares at Grisell. Ivonna and Francesca are confused while staring at Grisell.
Francesca nods up.
"Why are you chuckling like that?"
Grisell is still chuckling mischievously and then she turns her phone so the three of them can see it. Grisell then clicks on the screen and the video starts playing. It's a video of Aksevel dissing and insulting Emma. Then Grisell puts down her phone and grins.
"I just uploaded this video on Utube."
