Chapter 20: Promise

"They are really dishonest." Aldric felt like laughing and crying after hearing that, it was unexpected that a business as big as the Time Space Hall would sell their customers' information.What upset him was the fact that they were NPCs, creatures that were basically the result of a computer program.

They apparently also had a cunning side.

"In this game, not only do you have to watch out for the players, you have to watch out for the NPCs too," Jenny said, laughing softly.

Perhaps she found Aldric's expression very funny right now.

"Why are you only revealing this now?" Aldric was starting to get annoyed.

"Come on, there's a process for us to talk. I want to talk about our reunion first and then talk about this," Jenny replied casually, only looking happier when Aldric was upset.

"Hmph..." Aldric snorted softly.

"But why would that woman investigate me to that point?" he asked again.

"Probably because she was curious. After all, the Honey of Life is something rare," Jenny replied.

"But, if you are now at the 10th Stage, you need to form the Genesis Core, right?"

"Yes, I just don't have the method yet."

"Mm, as you know, the Genesis Core is the Core of your body and soul. It is very important for determining your strength. You must make sure to get the best method. I have good information, I'll tell you later, but before that, we need to make friends first in the game."

Jenny took out her phone after she said that.

She opened the forum, searching for Dark Crow's account before adding friends.

"My nickname is Star Archer," she said.

At this moment, there were too many people adding friends to his account. Aldric wouldn't have known which one was Jenny's account if she hadn't told him.

When he wrote Star Archer in search, he found it right away.

"Mm..."

Looking at the clock, Aldric found that it was almost 11 PM.

Around 11:30 PM, the dormitory gates would be closed.

He had to go home now.

"Jenny, I have to go back to the dorm," he said.

"You!" Unexpectedly, Jenny immediately looked unhappy at his words.

"Why go back, can't we take a longer walk?" she said.

"If I don't come back, the dormitory will be locked, where I'll sleep tonight." Aldric smiled wryly.

"Come on, you're in the city, not the village. If you can't sleep in the dormitory, there are still plenty of hotels. I'll pay for it for you. Or do you want my apartment?"

"Jenny..." Aldric became awkward.

He felt more than just teased.

The problem was that this woman had openly said she wanted him.

Although this was something extraordinary, it was like the sky was falling, the weight was too much for him.

"No..." He shook his head.

"I have to go back now."

He insisted. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he wasn't ready.

Seeing that he seemed adamant, Jenny rolled her eyes.

"Well, but let me walk you to your dorm, you don't mind, do you?"

She looked intensely into his eyes.

"Mmm, yeah..." Aldric agreed reluctantly. "But you have to stop before we get to the dorms. I don't want anyone to see me get out of your car. It will cause a misunderstanding."

"Don't worry, just wait here." Jenny finally smiled.

She then walked towards her car.

Of course, she knew the trouble to Aldric if others saw him getting out of her car.

It could lead to bad rumors. Maybe someone would think he was selling himself to a woman.

Jenny naturally didn't want such rumors to fall on Aldric.

Vrom!

When Jenny got into the sports car, it began to roar, making a loud noise.

Jenny drove up to him, stopping right in front of him where the car door opened by itself.

"Get in!" she said from inside with curled lips.

She had taken off her mask, so when she smiled, the movement of her lips could be seen.

Aldric was somewhat mesmerized by the luxury of the cabin.

Only, it was too low, he was a bit unsure how to enter it.

"Sit here first, then put your feet in." Jenny didn't mind at all telling him how.

After that, he finally got into the car, quite hurriedly as he was uncomfortable with the many eyes looking at him from around.

Although it was a bit cramped, it was really comfortable sitting in the car.

The only thing that made him feel strange was when he saw how close he was to the asphalt.

He felt like he was sitting on the asphalt itself.

"Pull the door down," Jenny said.

When the door was pulled down, it immediately closed, and Jenny immediately stepped on the accelerator.

"Which university do you go to?" she asked in the car.

"University of London," Aldric replied.

"Ohhh..." Jenny was a little surprised to hear that.

"Looks like you've been studying hard since I left. It's not so easy to get into that university," she said.

"Maybe I was lucky."

"Luck is also part of ability."

"..."

Since they were not that far away from the University of London, it only took a few minutes before they arrived.

Jenny stopped the car about 50 meters from the university.

"How do I open the door?" asked Aldric when he discovered that he didn't know how to open the car door.

"Why so hasty, if it's another guy, they might not want to get off even if I ask them," Jenny said, rolling her eyes.

To Aldric's surprise, she even blamed the cabin lights, making the cabin so bright that their faces were clearly visible to each other.

"Jenny..." Aldric panicked. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Don't worry, it's still dark from outside the car," Jenny said, knowing what he was thinking.

"Why do you want to keep me here?"

"I was just thinking, I can't help my curiosity. I want answers now."

Aldric, "..."

"I can't give you answers," he said, looking the other way.

The woman's face only seemed to become more enchanting when the two of them were in the same room, staring at her shook his heart too much.

"So you're scared." Jenny apparently guessed his thoughts.

She smiled at that.

"How about you make a promise for me?"

"Promise? What promise?" Aldric was confused by her request.

"You must be pursued by many women at the university, I want you to promise that you will not fall for the charms of any of them," Jenny replied, instantly making Aldric freeze.

Because Aldric really wanted to leave immediately, so he nodded spontaneously.

"Alright, I promise," he said.

Just after he said that, the door beside him finally opened. It opened by itself while the lights in the cabin turned off again.

Of course, he would not take this promise seriously. To his this was just a joke and he had all the rights to his life choices forever.

Aldric quickly got out of the car, then left in a hurry.

The last thing he saw was the wide smile on Jenny's lips, a smile that could be said to kill.
