Chapter 10: White Knight

"I wonder why he won't accept?" (Pearce)

Pearce sighed as he sat on his boss' desk.

"People have their own reasons. And don't sit on my desk." (Trask)

"Ah, s-sorry Sir. But still, if it were me, I would gladly accept it." (Pearce)

Pearce realized how rude he was and bowed to apologize then relaxed his back on the wall instead.

"Lucas isn't you, he must have his own reasons for turning it down" (Lilianne)

Lilianne prepared three mugs and filled them with coffee.

Normally, this isn't Lilianne's job but as a part of the night shift work, coffees are necessary and she thought that she'll prepare Pearce's and Trask's as well since she's already doing hers.

"Anyway you two, get back to your works." (Trask)

As soon as Lilianne had finished distributing their coffees, the two employees complied and bowed towards their boss before leaving.

"But still...it's such a shame if he refuses. What was Lucas' level again?" (Pearce)

"I think it was 17? Let see...here, 17 alright." (Lilianne)

Lilianne checked on her tablet just in case, since Lucas was already in the [Favorites], the info was seen right away.

"17 huh? He's already so strong in just level seventee-..........." (Pearce)

"Hm? What's wrong?" (Lilianne)

"Eh? Ah, no...just wondering if your tablet is broken..." (Pearce)

"Broken? No, that can't be......I think it is." (Lilianne)

Lilianne refuted Pearce at first but acknowledged it as soon as she saw the data on her tablet again.

After all, a second ago, Lucas' level was 17, now, it increased to 107!

A whole 90 levels increase!

Not only that, but his skills had also leveled up by quite a lot and there were also new skills and titles and other increases in stat.

"SIR!" (Pearce)

Ignoring Lilianne who was still standing still, Pearce took the tablet from his hands and ran back to his boss' office.

"Mr. Reynell...how many times do I have to tell you to knock before entering? I'm still the boss here you know?" (Trask)

"S-sorry, but I can't help it! Please look at this!" (Pearce)

Trask sighed at his over energetic employee and motioned him to come closer.

While Trask was drinking his coffee, Pearce began to explain.

"Please look, this is Lucas' status before, then, in a second, his status updated and...this is the new one." (Pearce)

*pfffffttttttt*

It was all too surprising that Trask spat the coffee on his employee's face.

Even though Pearce was clearly dumbstruck, Trask ignored him and took the tablet.

"H-how is this possible!? You said it updated in just a second? Are you sure you just took a long time to see his status again?" (Trask)

"N-no Sir. I asked Ms. Bristow about Lucas' level and she showed me the data, that time, it was clearly still level 17 then...it updated." (Pearce)
