Chapter 295 - A leading figure

Tomo Homie and his girlfriend were on their way to a meeting with Alex and his wife.

“Is it okay for me to come along with you?” Lily asked her boyfriend, looking quite shy as she didn’t want to be third-wheel.

She heard Alex’s beloved wanted to talk with Tomo Homie about the game world situation. And it was quite serious, so she wanted to have a talk in the real world.

It was a good break for Tomo Homie and Dancing Shadow, for they had invested too much in the Avander World and their continent’s matters.

Tomo Homie smiled, “I feel stronger with you by my side! And if Alex brings his girlfriend, I also want my love to accompany me.”

Lily shyly smiled, her smile dazzling as those words made her genuinely happy.

Their relationship improved after some time, and Tomo Homie grew into a confident boyfriend who wouldn’t shy away from revealing his love. Lily also often smiled, not hiding her feelings.

And in such a mood, the couple headed toward the restaurant, where Alex booked a private room for dinner.

“He won’t be alone… and he won’t be with Olivia…” Tom whispered, thinking about a possible person Alex wanted to introduce. His friend just told him that his beloved wanted to have a talk with him.

Tom immediately knew that it was about the game talk. After all, he became a prominent figure on the battlefield with his commands. Tomo Homie was already a famous and essential guild member in one of the top hero guilds, Mastermind.

And while Lily could only wonder who it might be, Tom’s heart rate increased, for he had recalled his talk with Alex.

‘That’s impossible… He can’t be with… one of them, can he?’ Tom grew nervous as he imagined one of Alex’s wives in the real world. Just the appearance of one of those hot women would confirm their recent talk about the game being a real world.

And just thinking about it scared him.

At last, Tom and Lily entered the restaurant. A nice waitress guided them to a room where Alex and his beloved had been waiting for them.

“…” And as Tomo Homie noticed the blond-haired woman, his heart sank, his lips parted, and he gazed at Sara with dilated eyes, unable to move at all.

Lily was the same, for she had seen Sara already.

Their shock was palpable.

[A few minutes before a meeting with Tomo Homie and Lily.]

Sara sat straight in one of the private rooms. Her husband was outside, ordering light drinks before his friend arrived with his girlfriend.

Without anyone by her side, Sara thought about Harvey’s words.

[I can’t butt in into the game world’s matters yet… But I can help you a little. If you have looked into the beginnings of the Avander World already, you should know about the first dungeon conquerors.]

[Yes.]

[It’s not a coincidence that all of them either come from wealthy families or are celebrities. Those people have split into heroes and villains, each able to create guilds and gather people en masse.

Celebrities just need one post on their social media. Wealthy families have connections and money to move people.

It doesn’t mean that everyone has to become a guild leader. The system is not omnipotent, and many existences can break the law. But as the hungry demons are united with one goal, the Avander World’s system wanted to help players gather around influential figures.

You should find a reliable player who can unite heroes and villains.]

[Father… I would rather find or create a realm for my family. Do you think such an idea is bad?]

[Realms can’t exist without a world. If you want to go with this plan, you ought to find a way to move between worlds. But I don’t think a goddess would allow you for such a move. Still, your own realm is also a good plan.

And it’s not like I want you to unite players with residents. Other guardians’ have already started guiding their children. But as far as your continent is concerned, no guardian has a leading figure here.

If you don’t want to give up on it without fighting, you should naturally aim for the top guilds.]

[I understand.]

Sara had her own ideas as to why Harvey didn’t want to tell the truth to his son and personally teach him. She also wanted to believe in him. Because of that, she no longer thought about Harvey’s secrets.

‘It’s true that Alex can’t be a leader… Fathers know this too,’ Sara whispered inwardly.

At that time, Alex returned with drinks. He put them on a table, wrapping his arm around Sara’s shoulder.

“You looked so lost in thought,” Alex whispered, staring thoughtfully at his wife.

Sara faintly smiled, reassuring her beloved, “Because we are about to talk about serious stuff.”

“Don’t overwork yourself for whatever you have in mind,” Alex said, caressing Sara’s cheek with his finger.

After those words, Sara just knew that her beloved only cared about his family and friends. And as the world held many legendary classes and the guardian children with their unique skills, Alex didn’t have to be a leading figure like Yasir used to be.

Ding!

The door to the private room opened, revealing Tom and Lily. These two and their expressions were expected, so Alex and Sara just waved at them, gesturing for them to take seats.

And as Sara gazed into Tomo Homie’s eyes, she whispered inwardly, ‘You are also enemy of the hungry demons… And as you have already gathered guilds under your command, I can only help you become a more prominent figure, Mr. Tom.

For mine and my husband’s joyful lives,’ Sara felt a little bad, for she didn’t know how it would end up in the future.

For now, her goal was to have a good talk with Tomo Homie about impending wars with hungry demons on their continent.

The Lost Kingdom, Stella’s Winged People’s Mountains, and Remia’s forest fairies’ lands were on that continent.

While Stella knew her people would be fine because they had their own realm, the other lands shouldn’t belong to hungry demons.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Tom,” Sara smiled, starting an important talk. With her help and abundant resources of Deathwill Castle, Sara would turn Tomo Homie into a figure similar to Yasir, yet completely opposite.
