Chapter 302 - Pursuit (1/2)

Groan!

”Oh, you're finally awake”

Alex snapped his eyes open and heard a couple of people talking around him and with the sound of people groaning and the clanging of metals clattering around him.

He looked around and saw that he was still inside the gym, behind the reception area, and in front of him is Sasha looking at him with a smirk on her face.

”What happened?” Alex asked, his memories a bit hazy from suddenly waking up.

”Ohh..that. You got knocked out in five punches from Michael” Sasha replied while handing out a form to the person who had just walked in and wanted to sign up for a membership, and the said person gave a look of curiosity towards Alex when he heard what Sasha said before walking away with a pen and the form in his hands.

”Right, f*ck! I didn't expect that kid had become so strong! A pity he didn't want to participate in the world martial arts tournament with his skills”

Alex finally remembered everything as memories of what happened earlier started replaying inside his head.

Sasha rolled her eyes at him and said with a chuckle, ”Why would he join that martial arts tournament when he could just play Fate Online all day long. I'm pretty sure that someone with his abilities, he's probably having a good time inside the game and raking in the money just like those gaming celebrities”

Alex had stood up from the sofa and standing in front of the fridge beside the reception desk and took out a bottle of water, and turned towards Sasha as he opened the cap and said, ”What do you know lady? Michael is still young right now and has a lot of options, but if he wins the championship or at least enters the top ten of the tournament. Then he would have a lot of future prospects when he grows old where he could get to know a lot of people with authority who would certainly want to hire someone of his caliber”

”A person would eventually grow old”

Sasha gave another argument from what he said, ”But Fate Online is an undug treasure, everyone can become rich overnight. A lot of companies and even movies are turning towards the game for opportunities”

”Movies can now be shot inside the game where they can now reduce the cost of production. Of course, it would be at the expense of people losing their jobs. We're already lucky that the governments around the worlds had banned the research and invention of robots, or else they would have replaced us by now with millions of people becoming jobless”

Alex just shook his head when he realized that Sasha had started blabbering again with topics not even the least bit related to what they were talking about earlier.

So he just shrugged his shoulders and made a quick exit as he didn't want to hear any more words from her.

And Sasha didn't even notice that he had left as she just continued talking while tying something in the computer in front of her, thinking that Alex is still around her, listening to her.

”Damn you old man!”

Meanwhile.
