I’ll get something to drink for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said and entered the cottage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana moved her long trench coat’s back vent out of the way and then made herself comfortable on the bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched from the window as Fang Raon went to the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve kept my eye on him. The Rock I know doesn’t just take just anyone as his student, so this one must be special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He has been pretty dominant in the tournament so far, but I didn’t expect anything less, so if he doesn’t reach quarterfinals, I would be quite disappointed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Fang Raon took some coffee beans from a jar and started roasting them on an interesting-looking coffee machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This coffee machine was working with magic, and it started to hum softly as it roasted the beans perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The liquid started to drip down into a waiting cup, filling the air with a rich, intoxicating aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder what she wants to talk about with. It feels like it has something to do with Rock. He returned in a pretty sour mood yesterday.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought and then looked over his shoulder, checking Lady Diana’s expression—she was just patiently waiting outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coffee finished brewing, and he poured it into two cups and grabbed a sugar bowl, then walked back outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here you go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put the two cups down on the table, then placed the sugar bowl next to them, which had many sugar cubes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This coffee is made of Rumba beans, and I heard it’s pretty good from Rock, so I hope you like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumba beans is my creation, y’know. I’ve been nurturing them for years now over at the plantation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana said casually and sipped on the coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon’s eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Rumba beans were an extremely popular item over in the tower, and people drank that coffee everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. We have a vast delivery network, so we supply it and some other stuff all around the tower. We’re currently working on expanding to the 40th floor and above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can see why she is considered one of the wealthiest people in the tower now. She must be making crazy money.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought and sipped on the coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is this plantation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve purchased a decent-sized island not that far from here. It’s called Green Isle, and it’s where I grow and harvest all the coffee beans for my business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am also involved in several other business ventures on the island, such as wine and chocolate production.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Purchased an island...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon let out a cold breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want, I can take you there if you are interested in seeing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Maybe, I’ll think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t curious, and he would definitely want to visit whenever he had time to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was something you wanted to talk to me about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the reason why they were currently sitting and drinking coffee—because Lady Diana wanted to talk about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it definitely wasn’t because of the coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a proposal for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, and then she put the cup of coffee down on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon raised an eyebrow, as if he was asking, ’What is it?’ with that raise of an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We used to be a thing—me and Rock—it didn’t last long as there were several complications with that relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been nearly three years since I’ve seen Rock last time, but my feelings haven’t faded, and I know his aren’t either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rock is very hard-headed, and there are reasons... why he doesn’t want to continue the relationship. With his wife’s passing, he believes that he betrays Della if he marries someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I didn’t know his wife had passed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him by surprise, and he had a hunch that there was something going on between Lady Diana and Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surprised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I thought it was strange that Rock was spending all his time in Black Online, but I guess since he had lost his wife, there is nothing for him over in the real world.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll get straight to the point—if you can change Rock’s mind, I’ll give you whatever you want—money, skill scrolls, valuable weapons... Anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said with a serious look on her beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She wants me to somehow make Rock forget about his deceased wife and get him to date Lady Diana? This feels... Wrong.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I don’t think this is the right way of doing things, Lady Diana. I can’t do that to my master, it feels like I am deceiving him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana looked at him silently, then she sighed and blinked her eyes once before looking at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you ever been in love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought, and there was someone that flashed to his mind—it was Chaewon—but he didn’t know whether it was love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know. Probably not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wouldn’t understand then. To pursue love, you must do everything in your power to make it happen. Once you fall in love, then maybe you’ll understand why I am doing this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, and without finishing the cup of coffee, she stood right back to her feet and opened her interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clicked on something and sent a friend request to Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Diana has sent you a friend request!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Accept\u002FDeny]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon looked at the screen and pressed \"Accept,\" as he really didn’t have any reason to deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you change your mind, contact me, but if you don’t, that’s also fine. I will still offer to take you to Green Isle, if you so desire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Diana said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon nodded with a deep look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lady Diana walked away, leaving Fang Raon to ponder her offer, but he had already made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I won’t help her with that. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t tempted by the offer, as she has stuff that can change my entire life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’However, I can’t do that to Rock. There must be a reason why he refuses to get together with Lady Diana. It’s his business, and I won’t get involved in that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the two cups of coffee on the table—both were still steaming hot and half full—but he didn’t feel like drinking anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked them up and walked to the door, but while he was holding both cups, he had to use his elbow to open the door because his hands were full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard, but eventually, his elbow pushed down the door handle, and the door became slightly ajar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream came behind him. A knife followed. A blade thrust into the back of Fang Raon, and he gasped in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped the two cups of coffee, and when they fell to the ground, they shattered, and the coffee just splattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What... the... fuck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon grimaced, and he turned around, and there was someone stabbing a knife into his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is Safe Zone... What kind of fucking lunatic... Would attack me here... And why?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haah... haaah... haaah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man panted heavily with sweat trickling down his forehead, and he then pulled out the knife from the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a step backward. The knife’s blade was drenched in blood. And he was trembling with fear and adrenaline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-33HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-55 HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 591\u002F700]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The health was consistently dropping as his back wound continued to bleed profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That knife has a shark teeth blade. It can create more damage to insides than an ordinary blade. This motherfucker...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gritted and looked angrily at the unknown player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why... Who the hell are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-s-s-s-s-stay away from Della. Y-y-y-y-you hear me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man said with a trembling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You hear me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man screamed and swung the knife, but this time around, Fang Raon easily dodged it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who the hell are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon asked angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I-I-I am nobody... B-B-B-But I don’t want you near Della, d-d-do you understand? S-S-She is a princess that shouldn’t be sullied by the likes of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Don’t tell me you are one of her viewers? You came all the way here to kill me because... I streamed with her once? You lunatic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-d-d-don’t play around... T-T-There have been rumors in Della’s fan club that the two of you are... are... dating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haah... This really pissed me off now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon reached his hand out to the inventory, and he pulled out his King’s Shortsword—its blade was over ten times bigger than the knife’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man gulped at the sight of the large blade, but he didn’t back down and tried stabbing the knife into Fang Raon’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon whispered, \"Basic Parry,\" and smacked the knife out of the young man’s hand—the knife fell to the ground with a loud clatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HARD SLASH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon smashed the sword through the young man’s body with immense force—he got cut in half—the two halves turned into pixels, and those pixels vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Fang Raon collapsed on one knee, and he touched his back—it was bleeding heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have any healing potions with him because he had used them all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-Don’t tell me I am about to die like this...
