Chapter 491 - What are Friends? (11)

I smiled in victory when both Luke and Alex signed the contract. Luke had no choice but to put the necklace off me, feeling like he lost for the first time. This all started since he didn't want to give me the freedom to do whatever he didn't approve. I could finally do my club activities in the open now! I liked the strong sense of community between all the students here, not hating the school as much as I originally did.

"Thank you for your cooperation," I passed the contract to Charles for him to keep the original record.​​

"So when are you thinking of producing the smoothies again?" Miliana asked Shelly and me.

"We still haven't decided yet," I didn't want to disappoint them.

My club was currently rich with tons of money in our bank account. Our soaring sales from the volumes I wrote, and the smoothies made us the ric.h.e.s.t club in the school. Gaming inside the club room with an old gaming console from the third district, I was playing an otome game. When someone knocked on our door, our president walked to open the door. Everyone inside the room stiffened when Luke and Alex were at the entrance.

"We're not taking any new members," I sprinted to close the door on them.

"Please come in," our president betrayed us.

Both Luke and Alex were stunned when they looked around the room. Most of us were laying down on the floor, sleeping bags covering the floors. While Oili and Cillian didn't know what was happening since they were inside the headgears, the rest of us tried playing with other artifacts since we got bored of them. I had to admit that this place was better than the gaming centres in the second district.

We had the latest released games, enough to fill up half of the room. But with the time-space function, we had the luxury to finish most of them within a week. Pillows and blankets were amongst mini tents for people who wanted more privacy. With the increasing number of things we purchased, our president also bought a device that can increase the space inside the room. This room was almost ten times bigger than the entire dorm I shared with Luke.

"Who's here?" Ethan opened his tent to see.

Ethan froze when he noticed Luke and Alex. After a long period of silence, Luke turned to our president, "please give us two application forms."

"We're not taking any new members," I blocked them from getting closer to our president.

"Didn't you say that Ethan was the last member going to join our club?" I couldn't let Luke and Alex join us.

"I apologize, but I have to adhere to the club rules," our president didn't give in to them.

"It wouldn't be fair to the other people who have asked if they could join," he added when they continued to remain in the room.

"I heard you have used our names in one of your products without our authorization," Alex brought up the novels I created.

I couldn't believe Alex was trying to threaten us that he could place a lawsuit against the club. Maybe I shouldn't have used them as my main characters. The contract couldn't cover aspects like this since we were using their identities without their knowledge. Without any other choice, our president passed them two application forms. With Luke and Alex filling them out right away, I almost crumbled onto the floor.

"Welcome to the club," our president sadly approved the forms.

"As the vice-president of the club, let me introduce you to the rules," I assigned myself to a newly created role.

"Number 1, you will not disturb any of our members in doing their club activities. Number 2, you cannot threaten any of our members. Number 3, while not every member has to help with our club operations, you cannot stop them from carrying them out," I hoped I covered everything.

"Can we purchase some things to do our club activities?" Luke agreed to the rules.

"You just have to write down all your requests onto the board on the wall. Once it's approved, our president will purchase them for you," I gestured to the request board for more games.

Within a few minutes, a section of the club room became Luke's new office. I couldn't believe he was taking advantage of the time-space function to finish all his fraction work with Alex. He was doing this to make sure that I would always be within his line of sight. Luke smiled when he was satisfied with how secure the office space was with all its features. It was better than working in our dorm room, better tables and cabinets that could only be opened by its owners.

"What is this book?" Alex heavily blushed when he looked at the cover of the novel I wrote.

I froze, watching Alex get a nosebleed, reading the pages with him and Luke as the main characters. Although he knew the content inside the novels I created, it was different from reading the actual book. About to sprint out of the club room, Alex grabbed my wrist before I could escape. Our president passed him a handkerchief while I blurted under his merciless eyes, "rule number two, you cannot threaten any of our members."

"I never knew you saw us this way," Alex looked at me in a new light.
