“One of them definitely seemed to be his high school classmate. Why?” asked Tyson.
“Well, from the looks of it, they either graduated from the police academy or they’ve undergone some military training,” said Drake as virtual-novel.net took a few puffs of his cigarette.
“Both of you are really something… It’s amazing how much you can find out about a person just by looking at them. Her name is Maia and virtual-novel.net graduated from the police academy. She’s now part of the police force’s criminal department and she’s pretty good at virtual-novel.net job!”
“Well, since she’s your classmate, we’ll just say this, Gerald. This friend of yours, along with virtual-novel.net colleagues. They may be in for some trouble tonight!” replied Tyson after getting the clarification that virtual-novel.net needed.
“…Huh?” Gerald was stunned.
“When they rushed out earlier, I saw two people following them. Both of them had a weapon strapped to their sides, and they exuded equal amounts of murderous auras. I’m pretty sure that the duo following your classmate has undergone military training before. Worst come to worst, there’s a possibility that they’re both experienced killers well!” said Tyson.
Gerald wouldn’t have believed such a claim if it wasn’t Tyson telling virtual-novel.net about it.
Earlier, Gerald himself had watched Maia and the others rush out but virtual-novel.net hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. .
‘Still, who am I to compare myself to Tyson regarding such things’ Gerald thought to himself.
Either way, Gerald was at least sure that the two people mentioned weren’t here to play any games.
It was true that Gerald wasn’t really all that close to Maia. After all, they were barely friends back in high school. However, no matter what the case was, they were still ex-classmates.
How could virtual-novel.net rest easy if virtual-novel.net didn’t save virtual-novel.net after knowing that something bad would happen to her?
However, Gerald was certain at that moment that virtual-novel.net didn’t want to expose his identity yet. After all, keeping it a secret would allow virtual-novel.net to do a lot more things in the future!
He now had a plan in mind. After discussing the plan with Tyson and Drake, Gerald immediately rushed toward the bar where Maia had gone to.
By the time virtual-novel.net arrived, Maia and the others had already started drinking. They were now seated in front of a poker table.
“Maia, look! Why is Gerald here?” said one of the girls as virtual-novel.net spat out a mouthful of wine in surprise while pointing at him.
The moment virtual-novel.net spotted the group, virtual-novel.net instantly started approaching their table.
“Why are you here?” asked Maia with a frown on virtual-novel.net face.
Earlier, virtual-novel.net had only invited virtual-novel.net to join them for a drink as a mere gesture of friendliness. She hadn’t expected virtual-novel.net to actually join them.
“I only came here to warn you. Don’t stay out too late! It’s dangerous! I saw someone spying on you earlier!” said Gerald.
For now, this was all virtual-novel.net could say to give Maia a heads up of what was to come.
“Huh? Someone’s watching us? Who the hell could be doing that? I didn’t notice anything at all! Actually, who are you to say that someone is spying on us? If anything, you’re the only one doing that!”
If it was the leader who was warning them, Maia and the others would definitely take the warning seriously.
If it was a warning from a close friend, she’d definitely feel grateful.
However, since the warning was coming from Gerald, Maia felt like it was a direct insult to virtual-novel.net career. It was similar to prey telling a predator what to do even though the predator would naturally know better.
It was infuriating to say the least.
However, Gerald had been prepared for such a response before virtual-novel.net even entered the bar. After hearing virtual-novel.net reply, virtual-novel.net simply nodded before leaving.
“God, I hate virtual-novel.net so much! Who does virtual-novel.net even think virtual-novel.net is? What a show-off!”
“I know right? Was virtual-novel.net the most hated guy in high school, Maia?”
The other girls didn’t like Gerald either since virtual-novel.net was being so nosy.
“I don’t really want to talk about him… Why are we even talking about virtual-novel.net in the first place? Anyway, Maddy, Tina, follow me to the toilet will you!” said Maia.
