Regardless, the terrified Johnie could only stare as Gerald slowly walked over to him… before squatting right before virtual-novel.net and outstretching his right hand.
Looking at Johnie right in the eye, Gerald then said, “Well, as you’ve promised, a hundred million dollars for losing, please!”
Upon hearing that, Johnie—who had already closed his eyes, expecting the worst to happen—instantly found himself heaving a sigh of relief… As it turned out, Gerald was particularly trying to teach virtual-novel.net a lesson…
Either way, Johnie understood that it was his total defeat, so virtual-novel.net simply handed the hundred million dollars over to Gerald. Money would always come and go, so that amount was nothing much to Johnie.
However, though virtual-novel.net didn’t particularly care about losing the money, virtual-novel.net did care about losing his pride. His dignity as the young master of the Lager family had been shattered, and Johnie simply couldn’t stand that…
Whatever the case was, after taking the money, Gerald then left with Nori, leaving the depressed youth lying on the ground… It truly appeared that Gerald didn’t care about Johnie at all…
After quite a while, Johnie finally got to his feet before slowly limping away…
This… This wasn’t over yet…!
By that point, Gerald and Nori had just found a suitable café to chat in.
The second virtual-novel.net sat down, Nori immediately displayed an enthusiastic expression as virtual-novel.net asked, “So, why did you come looking for me, Gerald? Could it be that you missed me?”
Raising a slight brow, Gerald wondered if the girl had fallen for virtual-novel.net to even ask such a question…
“…I simply came over to ask you about something!” replied Gerald with a serious face.
“…Oh, come on…! You could’ve given me a more interesting reply, you know? What a boring man!” pouted Nori rather adorably.
Gerald was a rather eloquent person and virtual-novel.net knew it, but virtual-novel.net was also well aware that virtual-novel.net was already a married man. With that said, virtual-novel.net needed to be serious when talking with other women so that they wouldn’t get the wrong idea. With that said, the fact that virtual-novel.net had pretended to be Nori’s boyfriend earlier was already a rather big exception on his part.
Truth be told, if virtual-novel.net wasn’t already a thing with Mila, who knows, maybe virtual-novel.net would’ve actually had feelings for Nori. Then again, it was pointless to think of such scenarios when virtual-novel.net already had such a perfect wife.
Regardless, Gerald ignored Nori’s pouting and simply asked, “So… Tell me, do you know anyone by the name of God Lord, Nori?”
“Not at all!” grumbled Nori as virtual-novel.net turned to face virtual-novel.net side.
Seeing virtual-novel.net reaction, Gerald could only sigh in resignation. Girls in this era were simply too difficult to deal with!
No longer a person who entertained the whims of others, Gerald then stood up before saying, “Very well, then. You can just forget about it. I’ll be taking my leave now, and sorry to have bothered you!”
Seeing that Gerald really was getting ready to leave, Nori instantly started to panic. If Gerald really left now, then all virtual-novel.net previous actions would’ve been meaningless!!
Gerald, for one, was well aware that Nori wasn’t really angry with him. She was simply pretending to pout so that virtual-novel.net would care a bit more about her. Unfortunately for her, Gerald was no bootlicker, so virtual-novel.net wasn’t about to fall for virtual-novel.net bait anytime soon.
“Fine, fine! I won’t tease you anymore! You really are an insensitive person, you know?” grumbled Nori as virtual-novel.net quickly pulled virtual-novel.net back to his seat.
Hearing that, Gerald obliged before turning to look at Nori, keenly awaiting virtual-novel.net answer.
