The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 235 - Final Result
...Stadium Competitions...
As soon as I got out of my capsule, a cheerful cheer was heard that raised my ears.
Honestly seeing that now makes me sad.
'So it feels like defeat after doing the best fight possible, huh? I think I've hurt the feelings of many players in this competition.' I said in my heart as I immediately lowered my head.
I don't want anyone to see my pathetic face right now. Including also the camera highlights that are currently still busy covering the winner, Angie.
While accelerating my footsteps to leave this stage, I also continued to remove and eliminate everyone who was trying to cover me.
But unexpectedly, someone seemed to hold my hand as if to force me to stay here.
"I'm sorry but I want to be right away...."
I was shocked after seeing the figure of the person who stopped my footsteps.
"Erik. You should be happy to be able to withstand an attack that even penetrates that earth. If there's someone to be ashamed of, it's me." Angie said with a smile that was so friendly.
Hearing Angie's words, everyone who had surrounded me and Angie, including the reporters, seemed to nod their heads.
"That's right, Erik. Right now, you are the main highlight. The figure of the Player who was even able to withstand the attacks of a legendary spear swordsman. Isn't that awesome?!" Shouted one of the reporters.
"I've seen the news become a 'Best Seller' this year!" Shouted the other journalist while smiling with satisfaction until he drooled.
To be honest, I was a little disgusted to see the reporter just now. But put that aside....
"Angie, say.... Eh?!"
"You're really awesome, Erik! I didn't expect that there would be anyone capable of cornering me like this even with a skill set far below me! If you don't have a wife, then I will definitely marry you!" Angie shouted as she hugged me very tightly in front of the entire camera.
Ignoring the news about the legendary spear swordsman or player who can withstand a spear that is even able to perforate the earth....
I'm pretty sure what just happened is gonna be the biggest problem for me.
All of that was made clear by the 'rogue' smiles of the reporters who were recording it.
"Here we go! 'Scoop' big!"
Well, just hearing that makes me ready to die killed Elin.
...***...
...Player Waiting Room...
"Why did you do that?!" I yelled annoyedly inside the waiting room that contained only me and Angie.
"Sorry. Just reflexes. Hehe...." Angie said, taking her eyes off me.
"You-you.... Do you know what's gonna happen to me? Huh.... I can already imagine Elin's angry face...." I said while breathing out my breath.
Hearing my complaints, Angie actually threw words that increasingly make no sense.
"Then, then let me come with you to meet Elin! That way I can explain everything directly!"
A light debate ensued between me and Angie. Although the debate is quite difficult, Angie finally won by 'following me' home and met Elin to explain everything.
Soon after, the two of us began discussing the matter of work.
"Angie. I have offered your services and your company to Arlond. He will gladly accept your request and even give you one of the best locations in Farna Kingdom.
However, he wants to meet you and your group in person first at the Farna Royal Palace. All that to discuss about the details of the employment contract and its limitations." I clearly told Angie in detail.
Hearing that, Angie seemed to widen her gaze slightly.
"Hm.... I can't believe you have such a close relationship with the number one person in Farna Kingdom. But ignoring that, I was very interested in his offer. Maybe I'll see him soon with my group tonight." Reply Angie while drinking wine directly from the bottle.
I'm also quite happy that Angie's received so well about it.
At the time when the two of us were still chatting regarding the cooperation between Rebellion and also the Farna Kingdom, someone entered abruptly.
She was a woman with a body that was not very tall. His black hair that only reached his neck appeared to slightly cover his left eye.
With a dress up shirt and pants all black with a reddish pattern, the woman was seen sitting in one of the chairs far enough away from me and Angie.
"You mean the Assassin who's been in conversation since Elin resigned? It seems like it is, why?" I asked while whispering to Angie.
The woman looked quite calm while watching television with her face looking lazy.
But unexpectedly, the whisper of both of us who were quite slow was heard by him.
"Angie huh? And also a self-styled witch who never used her true power. Why talk about me secretly like that?" Cecilia asked without even glancing at the two of us.
"Ti-nothing. Just curious about the figure who just came here." Answer me a little bit.
But Cecilia seemed to ignore my answer and spoke again.
"Unlike that fake witch, I'm gonna finish you off and take that ancient book for myself, Angie." Said Cecilia as she immediately stood up and walked over to Angie.
"Heh.... What an interesting word. Let's see if you can realize such a big word." Reply Angie with a smile and a sharp look.
Without retaliating, Cecilia immediately turned her body and spoke to herself.
"The air atmosphere here is very uncomfortable because of the existence of the fake witch. I guess I'll find another place to watch tv while I wait for my match.'
And that way, Cecilia immediately left this room as mysterious as her arrival.
"What does that mean?" Angie asked with a faint smile of astonishment at Cecilia's behavior.
But I thought a little about his figure. It was at that moment that I immediately remembered how he could tell that I did not use my full strength.
He is a member of Seven Star.
I fought with the group once but I didn't see his abilities directly. Including Cecilia.
Before I said anything, Angie immediately spoke to herself.
"You're interesting, Erik. Regarding your true figure I won't ask further but.... Can you promise me one thing to keep my mouth shut?" Ask Angie outside of this conversation.
Upon hearing his request, I could only be astonished.
How not, he wants me to help him in the conquest of one of the bosses that even for Angie's group is still hard to beat.
"If you accept and are able to complete our request, not only will we keep your true figure a secret. But we will also help you with many things in the future. You just need to mention it and we'll fulfill it soon.
Of course, the terms are pretty simple. You helped us defeat the boss and his entire loot will be ours."
Honestly, it's a very tempting request. But nevertheless....
'Can I trust him?'
After a moment of thought, I fell to a final conclusion.
"There's no other choice for me but to accept it, right? All right, then get ready to accept my heavy request." I replied, extending my hand.
Angie shook it off immediately and countered.
"As long as it doesn't interfere with my plan, then we will gladly fulfill it."
I went home and went back to the hotel.
Without realizing that it was the wrong decision.
Shoulda-coulda....
I chose to go around in circles and not go back to the hotel.
Wh why? It's all because....
"Erik. How dare you bring another woman, even more so the woman came here as soon as she found out I was pregnant." Said Elin while giving a cynical look behind me.
When I looked back, Angie was disguised by a mask and so on.
With her highly suspicious appearance, Angie uttered a sentence that had the equivalent of an atomic bomb.
"Elin, I'm here to explain everything!"
I forgot that he said he would follow me home.
