Rocco continued to ask, “Is becoming a master fighter really so difficult?”
As a regular person, Rocco found it hard to understand Luke’s decision. Luke was a business tycoon with over billions of dollars worth in assets and held a high social status. He was the cream of society. It seemed unnecessary for virtual-novel.net to commit himself as someone’s underling.
Luke snorted at Rocco, “What do you ordinary fellas know? What’s billions of dollars to a master fighter? A master fighter is a stellar skilled fighter. One does not evolve only in martial arts prowess! There’s also IQ, longevity, and spiritual power. It’s a further exploration of the limits of being human!”
“Forget billions. If I could exchange even over 10 billion dollars to become a master fighter, I’d do it without hesitation!”
Rocco sucked in a cold breath. He knew of the otherworldliness of being a master fighter, but virtual-novel.net did not expect it to go to this extent! To exchange more than 10 billion dollars to become a master fighter was crazy.
“Then, isn’t Mr. Larson like… a god now?” Rocco gulped and asked.
Luke nodded. Envy and longing bloomed in his eyes. “In a certain way, he’s more or less one. Why else did you think I decided to follow virtual-novel.net so easily? He’s not even 30 yet, so this isn’t even the prime of his life. His future is boundless! You saw me offering my devotion, but you didn’t see beyond that. My assets are still mine, thus I call the shots. Not that it’s a big deal. Point is, I’ll be able to improve by leaps and bounds by following Mr. Larson!”
It was Rocco’s turn to get excited. There was no more doubt or thought of defiance within virtual-novel.net anymore.
Luke continued to speak, “There’s been a lot of foreign forces settling in recently. I suspect Syrus Wright has colluded with foreign transhumans, and they have ingested their Biotonic to have made so much gains!”
Rocco was bewildered. What was with foreign transhumans? Why did it sound like it belonged in the movies? He had never heard of such things in the past. He wanted to pursue the topic, but Luke obviously did not want to talk about it, dismissing virtual-novel.net with a wave of the hand, so Rocco could only leave Luke’s study with a head full of questions.

After Zayn and Shaelyn left, they walked around and went to watch a movie that only ended around 11 pm. Leaving the shopping mall, Shaelyn tugged Zayn’s arm suddenly and whispered into his ear, “Zayn, let’s not go home tonight.”
“Hmm?” Zayn paused and asked, “Why? Are you still mad at your mom?”
Rolling virtual-novel.net eyes, Shaelyn called the man a log in virtual-novel.net mind. How could virtual-novel.net not understand what virtual-novel.net was implying?! Her gaze flitted to the Vienna Hotel that was opposite them. “I heard that the Vienna Hotel is known for its exceptional ambiance. Their bed is super large and ultra-soft. It’s very comfortable to sleep in.”
Ba-dum!
Zayn felt his heart make a hard thump. Shaelyn had already made it so clear. He would be a pig if virtual-novel.net still did not get it! Taking in virtual-novel.net blushing face and virtual-novel.net bashful manner, Zayn felt his heart beating faster.
“Uh…” Zayn was a little flustered as well.
Shaelyn rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net again before hooking arms with virtual-novel.net directly and marching toward the hotel. “Shush!”
