Chapter 70: Uncovering Secrets (1/2)
”A player? I don't think I am one although I like to tease,” Avi replied innocently while trying to get away from his grasp. ”As I was saying earlier, I suddenly recalled that I have coaching already booked, so I need to hurry. Let's move our session for tomorrow, okay?”
”Avi,” Liu Ye muttered with a judging gaze. ”You just heard the announcement and tried to run away.”
”Huh? What announcement? I don't know what you are talking about,” Avi pretended once again while shrugging his hand off. ”I'm sorry but I have to go. You know, coaching and stuff. Hope you can get back safely.”
She showed an apologetic smile and turned around to leave. Her actions were obvious but knowing how everyone was so secretive about the game, Liu Ye wasn't surprised she had to hide it.
That didn't mean he couldn't bluff her a little.
”I know all the secrets from Katherine. You don't need to run away,” Liu Ye called out after her and sure enough, his bet was a success.
”You know Katherine?” Avi questioned as she stopped. ”What does she look like?”
”A blond beauty in white dress. I met her a few times since we were talking about awakening and candidates,” Liu Ye explained casually. ”Look, I know you were probably asked to keep it a secret so I can continue pretending that you are an NPC. I don't mind.”
”Oof, that's good…” Avi sighed in relief and returned back. ”I almost thought I fucked up. Katherine would kill me if the news got out.”
She hugged his arm and looked at him pitifully. ”Let's keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone about me, okay?”
”Well, it depends,” Liu Ye shrugged helplessly. ”Will you continue to help me today or not?”
”I will!” Avi nodded without hesitation.. ”But I can only stay for 5 hours so that didn't change. I have to log out afterward since I am landing. I am currently in a plane right now.”
”Oh, that's okay. Don't worry, my mouth has been silenced,” Liu Ye assured before investigating slyly, ”You are working for Katherine, right? If she is the main designer then you should be an admin. Why are you playing the game instead of monitoring other players?”
Maybe Xu Yue was forced to keep secrets but if Avi was part of the organization, it would be strange if she had the same restrictions. He could extort some information if he acted well enough.
Avi looked at his face to check his expression but he remained calm and even reached out to fix a strand of hair on her face.
”What? Are you surprised I know this much?” Liu Ye asked causally. ”I was also surprised when Katherine told me the real purpose of this game. Maybe it's because of my potential? I guess she wanted to get me on your side right away.”
