Chapter 108: Chapter 108 – Interrogation

"My little sister, do tell me something."

"What is it?"

"Do you like that man?"

"... Who?"

"Let's be honest with each other."

Inside a luxurious living room, a handsome man with sharp eyes crossed his hands together, looking at the cute girl who lay down on a soft-looking couch, looking confused. He gestured to her to look at the hologram screen on his side, which played a certain clip.

The girl recognized the person in the video clip. It was someone she played with yesterday and promised to play together again today, Breeze.

In the clip, that boy was screaming with everything he had.

"I want to play together with a girl, just the two of us. Why are they bothering us!! Why!!! God! Please answer me!!"

It was just a few seconds of video clip, but she got the context from the chat window on the side. She knew that the girl Breeze mentioned was her. Slowly, she turned back to her brother and tilted her head.

"And?" Her voice was flat, without any emotion attached to it. "How does it concern you? Also, you've become annoying lately."

"Ugh..."

The man, StoneSword, real name Peter Spencer, got hurt by his sister's words. She was always like this in private, so he quickly recovered.

"I wanted to say that we must understand our position too. Well, he's a good guy, and I also like him. But you shouldn't hurry if you truly like him, okay?"

Lily looked at her brother with a surprise. She raised her body and covered her mouth, looking rather disgusted.

"Brother... Are you really saying that? What about sister Rebecca?"

"Huh? No– I mean his personality! He's humble and smart. Even though I only knew him briefly, I also knew he was kind. Well, at least he's not arrogant and is likable."

"I know. I was just joking." She giggled.

"You..." StoneSword was slightly surprised. This one was new. Seeing his sister looking happy, his lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

"Well, listen. I want to know him better if you really aim for... a relationship with him. You know that I will support you if you're really serious. You have my words as your brother."

"I am not a child anymore, brother," Lily answered and left, returning to her room without giving a real answer.

StoneSword only looked at her back without trying to stop her.

'Did I make a mistake? It doesn't look like she is really into him. Is it Breeze's one-sided affection for my sister?' He thought.

Good idea, right?]

'This guy is really devious and will do anything for fun.'

Max also planned to trap both Flexy and StoneSword, creating chaos in the livestream. There was no target or anything. Just having fun.

So, there was no reason to refuse Flexy's invitation.

'I will pretend to be his ally and betray him at the most important moment.' He laughed evilly and typed the reply.

[Breeze: Sounds good. What's in the plan?]

[Flexy: It will be hard to talk in a message. Login to VR, and I will invite you to my Lobby. We can talk there without being bothered by anyone else.]

[Breeze: Alright. Wait a minute.]

With that, Max closed the screen and looked at his VR capsule. There was still something in his mind that refused to go away even when he heard Flexy's plan.

But he decided not to think much about it and logged into the VR. Surely, there would be no danger in that guy's Lobby, right?

Worst, he could always log out and run away.

'Well, let's get this done fast. And I will look at the email later to improve my mood.'

Appearing on the vast grassy plain, Max got an invite from Flexy as soon as he landed. He looked at it for a second, took a deep breath to prepare for anything, and accepted. He prepared to press a logout button if anything went wrong.

The scenery around him crumbled into pieces. He expected to be greeted with a glimmering, grand golden castle just like Flexy's waiting room in the Knight's Journey. But no.

The beautiful grass plain turned into a gloomy brick room with candles on the wall as the source of lighting. It was damp and dirty.

And for some reason, he was strapped in a chair, with his hands bound behind his back and a bright light faced against him. Two shadows could be seen sitting on the other side of the table with their hands near their chin.

The window that he prepared to log out anytime was out of his reach. Also, he couldn't activate the voice command either because Flexy locked that feature for 30 minutes by activating a quiet mode. It was written on the menu.

Suddenly, the light that was faced against him dimmed. The two people's features were now clear. They were Flexy in a police uniform and StoneSword in a suit. The former turned to the latter and nodded.

"Suspect Breeze is secured, detective StoneSword. You may begin your interrogation."

At that moment, Max knew that Flexy had outsmarted his outsmarting. The orange-haired guy even had an annoying smirk on his face.

"Breeze, I will have you answer my question. Don't worry, I won't bite and won't do anything to you. It's just a plain curiosity." StoneSword asked seriously and narrowed his eyes, "Can you tell me more about this Date you talked about in your stream before?"

'Shit! I've been had!' He screamed in his mind. 'Flexy, you bastard! Don't think I will forget this!'

"Heh! Sorry, but it's more interesting in this side." The orange-haired streamer sneered, "It's time for interrogation, buddy."
