114 Chapter 114 - Controlled Exposure (1/2)
When Gu Fei got July's ”Alright, come over!” reply, he was immediately at a loss.
Thinking back to the attitude that the Amethyst Rebirth's ladies had shown him the first time they met and Luo Luo's earlier comment about the way the ladies viewed him differently from the other male players, Gu Fei thought for sure that July would reject his request. Right now, not only did July not reject his request, she also readily agreed to it.
Did she wrongly assume that I'm introducing another lady to the guild? Gu Fei realized the possibility of that, so he quickly sent her another message to clarify, ”They're men!”
Unexpectedly, July replied much faster than before, ”That's fine. We're still at Ray's Bar!”
She must be drunk, Gu Fei thought to himself. At the same time, he realized that he could shirk taking responsibility for this issue. Since the other party had no issue with meeting the two men, then he was merely someone who introduced two groups of friends to each other, so it was not like he was in the wrong for bringing men to meet those from Amethyst Rebirth.
With that, Gu Fei got up and looked at War Without Wounds and Royal God Call that had the look of expectation written all over their faces, ”Let's go!”
”Where to?” they asked.
”To the room next door for you guys to meet the ladies!” Gu Fei answered.
”Oh, yes!” both exclaimed in elation. They only wanted to get their names; they did not expect to have their first intimate contact with the ladies this soon, instead.
”You sure do things efficiently, Miles. I really admire that about you,” War Without Wounds beamed, as if he had not just called Gu Fei a 'goody-goody' a short while ago.
”Thanks,” Gu Fei bitterly laugh as he brought the two into the next room.
”Wishing to meet and actually meeting; to think we're just several steps away from one another!” Royal God Call sighed as he tried to sound sophisticated. Gu Fei stopped himself from sending a roundhouse kick on Royal God Call's mouth.
Gu Fei lifted the curtain and beckoned the two inside the room. After exchanging introductions between the two parties, the atmosphere became really harmonious within the room. Gu Fei looked at the four ladies and saw that their eyes were clear, not looking the least bit drunk. He really could not make sense of this.
Royal God Call began hitting on the ladies. He pointed at Luo Luo first and said, ”I've met you before!” He then addressed Ice Glaze and Lie Lie next, ”I've also met you two before, right?”
The three ladies smiled and nodded their heads. War Without Wounds coughed loudly when he saw Royal God Call steal the first move, taking up three out of the four ladies.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei's heart thumped at this moment. Royal God Call's mention of 'meeting before' made him realize something: Lie Lie and Ice Glaze saw Young Master Han and the other three men deal with Nightmare of Death by the north gate's mailbox earlier. Gu Fei now knew why these ladies were more than willing to agree to his request. It was because of that earlier encounter! Just as he was about to warn the two men about this via a message, July unexpectedly cut to the chase, ”Are you two from Young Master's Elite mercenary group?”
I knew it! Gu Fei called out inside him. He failed to remind the two in time, as Royal God Call very quickly replied, ”I can tell you girls, but you gotta keep it a secret!”
F*ck! Isn't that as good as admitting to it? Gu Fei felt depressed. July solemnly promised, ”Don't worry; you guys were such a big help back then. We're only curious, so we're asking. I assure you we won't tell it to anyone else.”
As Royal God Call heard this, he nodded his head with equal severity, ”We're indeed part of Young Master's Elite.”
At this moment, the four no longer looked at Gu Fei the same way as before. July's eyes told Gu Fei: ”How's that? Can't lie your way out of this now, right?” With this reveal, she recalled Gu Fei's antics from before and naturally realized that those were done to hide the truth.
Of course, Gu Fei was feeling very uncomfortable right now. Just as he was about to say something to take control of the situation, Royal God Call very quickly added, ”We both are, but Miles isn't.”
”Ah?!” everyone expressed in shock.
Royal God Call displayed a look of disdain on his face, ”He wants to join Young Master's Elite, but he has yet to pass the test. You guys should know how bullishly strong our Mage is. Miles just couldn't match up.”
”So who's that Mage, then?” July asked carefully.
Royal God Call shook his head, ”We can tell you about everyone but the Mage. He's got a lot of enemies, so telling anyone his name will only invite trouble. Sorry about that,” Royal God Call's gaze showed his decisiveness on this matter.
Gu Fei was thoroughly shocked by this. He never thought that Royal God Call would actually help him at such a critical moment. The four ladies immediately looked despondent. Just as Gu Fei had thought, the ladies were more interested in him, the Close Combat Mage, than anyone else in the mercenary group.
”So who are the others?” Luo Luo asked.
”There's Sword Demon, Brother Assist, and Young Master Han. You girls probably haven't heard the 'Young Master Han' IGN before; how about 'Drinking Addict'?” Royal God Call asked.
”Ah!” July and Luo Luo exclaimed.
”So these are the members that made up Young Master's Elite. They indeed live up to their names,” July sighed deeply.
