Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 118  Reward!

"What makes you say that?" Luis asked while wondering whether Lily had told Alicia something about last night's matter.

'Did Lily not heed my warning?' Luis thought as his heart chilled down. If that is the case, Lily can't get away with simple scolding this time. He would definitely take action. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, it seems he was thinking too much. As he heard Alicia's plain answer the next second. "I just instinctively knew it."

Luis closed his mouth and swallowed back the words he prepared. He stopped blaming Lily in his heart and sighed. 'In that case, nothing can be done about it.'

After all, a woman's instinct is an unreasonable and terrible thing, always putting us men at a disadvantage.

"So tell me, Luis, why isn't Lily responding to me?! She was fine guiding us in the Botanical Garden before! Did something happen?!" Alicia urged.

Luis shook his head slightly and said, "Last night, I scolded her a little. That may be the reason."

When she heard this, Alicia's frown deepened, as she asked, "Did she make a mistake?"

Without breaking his eye contact with Alicia, he nodded and said, "Yeah, she did! And just so, there won't be a second time. I warned her."

Alicia wanted to say something, but she stopped herself. Luis was Lily's master and no matter how good her relationship with Lily was, she couldn't support her if she made a mistake.

If only Alicia knew the reason behind Lily's scolding, she would have definitely spoken up for her.

In the end, she pursed her lips, then said with a sigh, "Just don't be too harsh on her, Luis."

Luis nodded noncommittally.

"I'm serious! If I found you bullying Lily next time... I won't talk to you," Alicia said seriously, while also threatening him.

Her threat seemed to have worked on Luis, as he turned his head away and said, "Let's end this matter here! Okay? Also, Lily, stop ignoring Alicia, otherwise, she will be saddened."

{Yes, master.} Lily's relieved voice sounded in his earpiece.

Then Lily called out to Alicia in a low voice, {Sister Alicia...}

"Lily, tell me if Luis bullies you again. I'll teach him a lesson." Alicia said, comforting her. "Also, don't be so down. I like your usual self more."

{Yes, Sister Alicia~} Lily replied with her usual cheerfulness.

Alicia smiled and uttered, "Good girl, now tell me, how did Luis cheat?"

Luis' lips twitched as he stared at Alicia speechlessly. After all that, she still didn't forget about that matter.

With Alicia's previous words of assurance, Lily gained herself a backbone, so she became courageous and said, {Sister Alicia, the ball's last curve was abnormal, it's a 97% probability that it was indeed Master's spell in effect.}

Lily just gave a judgment based on analysis and didn't directly reveal the spell he used. This made Luis nod in satisfaction.

But that is another matter. Now he needs to deal with Alicia, who was staring daggers at him.

"So, Mr. Cheater! Do you have any say in this?"

Placing his right hand on his left chest, Luis gave a small bow and said solemnly, "My lady, I did no such thing. If you don't believe me, I can take another shot to prove my innocence."

Alicia's brows twitched seeing Luis being shameless until the very end and not admitting.

She scoffed and said, "I will let it slide this time, but since you cheated. We are tied."

As for giving him another chance? No way! Alicia was certain that if Luis took another shot, then it would be his win and, seeing his stubborn look, she knew that he would not admit to his cheating anytime soon. In that case, the rest of their date might get wasted, and she doesn't want that.

Luis showed a thoughtful expression. He could pretty much judge from Alicia's expression that if he doesn't agree with her now. Then the date's entire mood is going to be ruined. He sighed and said, "Although it's disappointing, I guess that's fine."

Alicia showed a grin when Luis agreed with her. 'Yesterday, I lost. Today, it's a draw and the next time we compete. I'll be the winner!'

She was suddenly very optimistic about her future.

If Luis knew about Alicia's inner thoughts at this moment. He would definitely be dumbfounded and laugh at the childish thoughts of his cute and easy-to-tease fiancee.

***

After trying out a few other games, Alicia had enough of playing in the Arcade and insisted on going to the next place.

Inside the hover car, Luis suddenly turned to Alicia and asked, "By the way, Alicia. You haven't told me yet! What reward am I getting?"

Alicia, who was looking at the outside scenery, froze on the spot. She turned her head a little stiffly and said flatly, "What are you talking about? It was a tie. So there's no reward."

Luis showed an aggrieved expression and protested, "No! What you promised was out of the scope of the bet. You promised me a reward if I made that strike, and so I did."

Alicia chuckled softly and said, "But you cheated. So, no reward for you."

Hearing this, Luis showed a disgruntled expression. But Alicia was very adamant about it.

"Sigh, I wanted to know what reward you were going to give me," he muttered while shaking his head sadly.

Alicia's ears perked up as she raised one of her brows and asked, "Do you mean it?"

Luis nodded seriously, "Of course."

Showing a thoughtful look, Alicia stated, "It's not impossible to reward you."

'Got her!' Luis thought inwardly. While on the surface, he showed an intriguing expression and asked, "How?"

Alicia tapped her chin with her finger and said, "Well, you just have to make this date a memorable one. If I am satisfied, then I'll reward you."

Luis showed a handsome smile and said, "Consider it done!"
