Chapter 221: Let’s meet

“What do you want me to promise you?”

“You and the other boys shall not hang out with Claire anymore!” Becky said forcefully.

Joe was stunned, scratching his head with a hesitant look. “Even if I’m chasing you, I still have the right to make friends, right? Also, Even if I don’t hang out with Claire anymore, I can’t ask them not to hang out with Claire.”

“You…” Becky’s face flushed red, and she became angry with embarra.s.sment.

Suddenly, a hand reached out to tap on her shoulder.

She turned her head to look. A tall man had walked up to her.

“Brother? Why do you…”

“I came to pick you up from school. I have been looking for you for a while.” Zack glanced at Joe and his face darkened. “Are you still pestering my sister?”

Joe said, “I like Becky, so I am chasing her. Is there any problem?”

Hearing this, Zack suddenly sneered. “Chasing her? Just you? What makes you think you’re worthy of my sister? Stop daydreaming!”

Joe said angrily, “My family is also well-known in the business circle. Why do you think I’m not worthy of Becky?!”

“How dare you talk back to me?!” Zack looked at Joe contemptuously. “I heard that you like to play ‘W2′ and want to enter the Emperor Game Club?”

“Yes?”

Zack laughed, and his disdainful laughter echoed in the corridor, which was very ear-piercing.

He said with contempt dripping from his tone, “Just give up as soon as possible. You’ll never be admitted to the Emperor Game Club, sucker!”

Joe clenched his fists in anger, straightened his waist, and looked firm. “How do you know that I won’t? Let me tell you, I will not only enter the Emperor Game Club, but also become a professional player, and one day I will beat you!”

Zack felt that his words were ridiculous. “Okay, let’s have a contest, dare you?”

Joe agreed without even thinking about it. “Sure!”

“Okay, I’ll give you a few days to prepare. Don’t flinch when the time comes!” Zack said coldly and took Becky away.

On the other side, the study of the Johnsons’ house.

Hunter was sitting in a chair, leaning back lazily and sorting out the doc.u.ments casually. Suddenly, he found a doc.u.ment.

He opened it and saw four big words written on it.

Special Effect Medicine Project.

Hunter narrowed his deep dark eyes, flipped through the contents of the doc.u.ment, and smiled, looking a bit interested.

Mr. Hopkins came in to deliver fruit. Hunter threw the doc.u.ment in front of him. “Is this project still going on?”

Mr. Hopkins turned pale with fright. “Well… we have already withdrawn from this project.”

Hunter frowned. “This project is so interesting and also of great commercial value. Why did you withdraw?”

“Um… because…” Mr. Hopkins made up an excuse. “This project had some problems and was halted, so we withdrew from it.”

Hunter’s eyes were glowing cold. “Mr. Hopkins, do you think I can’t understand the words on it?”

If it were Mr. Johnson from before, Mr. Hopkins might have been able to deceive him.

But since he returned to normal, there was a daunting and domineering air about him, making people scared.

“In short, this is what your father wanted.” Mr. Hopkins hurriedly grabbed the file and left the study.

At this time, the cell phone on the desk rang.

Hunter glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number.

He hung up deadpan.

Immediately afterwards, the phone rang two or three times.

Annoyed by the noise, Hunter picked up the phone and asked irritably. “Who is it?”

There was a man’s voice on the other end, which sounded a bit gloomy. “Mr. Johnson, I’m glad to speak with you. I am the King of Li Kingdom, Ethan Muller.”

Hunter raised his eyes. “What’s the matter?”

Ethan chuckled and asked. “I heard that you suddenly quit the special effect medicine project. I’d like to know the reason for it.”

“I didn’t quit.” Hunter slowly stood up and turned his head to stare at the sunset outside the window. “I’m very interested in this project.”

Listening to the casual and arrogant voice on the phone, Ethan felt it a little familiar.

“That’s good.” Ethan smiled and said, “I’m free tonight. Can we meet tonight?”

“OK.”

Chapter 220: I Can Give You A Chance to Chase Me

“Isn’t your elder brother a professional player of ‘W2’? He is also a member of the Emperor Game Club.” Phoebe instigated her. “Why don’t you have your brother compete with them so that we can figure out whether Claire is really good at playing games or not.”

She didn’t believe Claire was actually that good at playing games.

When it came to a professional player, Claire would definitely lose.

Becky curled her lips and snorted coldly. “Forget it, my brother won’t play games with these n.o.bodies. Even if he wants to play, he’ll only play with legends like April.”

The group of people went back to their homes respectively, leaving only Derek and Claire on the roadside.

“Claire, tell me the truth, have you played ‘W2’ before? You weren’t supposed to be so good if it was the first game you played. Don’t take me as a fool!”

She was obviously very skilled in that game.

Claire raised her eyebrows and looked at him, saying casually. “I also want to ask you. Why do you still play like a rookie after playing it for so long?”

“…”

Derek was speechless.

“I gotta go.” Claire stopped a taxi.

Not long after she got in the car, her phone rang and a voice message popped up.

She clicked on it and Derek’s crying sound rang.

“Master… I feel so bad… They… they laughed at me as a rookie and didn’t take me when playing games. They also said that it was sheer luck… that you accepted me as your disciple. But you did that because of my talent, didn’t you?… They just don’t believe me, boohoo…”

He cried till he was out of breath.

Claire typed a few words as the reply: [Yes, they are right.]

On the other side, Derek was crying and running wildly on the street when he saw the reply.

He didn’t want to live anymore!

The next day, noon.

A group of people sat in a milk tea shop.

Phoebe and Becky were talking and laughing with the boys.

Suddenly someone shouted. “Claire, here!”

They turned their heads only to see Claire pus.h.i.+ng open the gla.s.s door and walking towards them.

Phoebe and Becky scowled at the same time.

The boys who had been sitting next to them got up one after another and gathered around Claire.

Chuck leaned on the counter and said to Claire, “Order whatever you want to drink. It’s my treat.”

Wayne patted his head. “Hey, show some respect to Big Sister Claire!”

Becky rolled her eyes and poked the milk tea straw. “Why is she here again? What a nuisance!”

Phoebe glanced over, feeling tightness in her chest.

She relied on Becky to become a member of this small group.

But Claire could always steal her things easily.

Why?!

Phoebe concealed the jealousy in her eyes and whispered to Becky. “She seems to have been called over by Joe. Isn’t Joe chasing you? Did he… fall for Claire?”

These words really hurt Becky’s self-esteem.

She was so angry that her face turned purple and she couldn’t even drink the milk tea anymore.

And that was exactly what Phoebe wanted.

After school, the school gate was crowded with people.

In the empty corridor, Becky leaned against the wall, with arms around her chest, looking arrogant.

Joe stood opposite and looked at her, all smiles. “Becky, why did you call me over?”

Becky glanced at him. “You are chasing me, right?”

Joe’s face blushed red. “You finally noticed it?”

Becky gave a smug smile. “Okay, I can give you a chance to chase me.”

When Joe heard it, his eyes lit up. The surprise came out of the blue.

“Re… really?”

“Sure.” Becky snorted coldly. “However, you have to promise me one thing first.”

Chapter 219: What’s The Big Deal About Playing A Game?

Seeing her well-prepared, Chuck asked. “Did you know someone would come here?”

Derek blinked. “How did you know?”

Claire remained expressionless, and her voice echoed in the empty room. “I looked at the map. The poisonous barrier was moving closer to the center. Three minutes later, a batch of supplies landed in the green forest on the left. If one wants to walk from the center to the green forest, taking this path is the best choice. A large number of people gathered at the center point. Whether they want to take a shortcut or avoid the poisonous barrier, they will definitely take this trail. The hillside above the trail will be the best sniper position.”

“Wow!” Chuck was stunned.

Derek’s jaw dropped.

Claire… was so smart!

Claire glanced at him sideways and tapped her head with a finger. “Playing a game is not just about fighting and killing. It depends on the strategy.”

Soon, people came towards this trail one after another.

Joe and the others were still trying to avoid the poisonous barrier at the center, cursing and yelling.

While Claire was on a killing spree on the hillside.

However many people came, she killed them all.

Soon, prompts appeared on the others’ phones.

[Congratulations, your teammate April has completed ten kills.]

Then this kind of prompt kept popping out.

Claire pulled the trigger and shot the last person to death. Finally, the game ended.

They won.

Claire was ranked first, with a terrifying number of kills. In this game, most of the people died under her gun.

Joe was completely dumbfounded. “This is the fastest match I have finished. I won before the second half even started?”

The boys surrounded Claire, and bombarded Claire with questions.

Wayne patted the coffee table and shouted. “That’s not enough! Claire, shall we have another round?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Count me in!”

Derek scratched his curly hair, gaping in shock.

Was Claire… so good at playing games?

At this time, Phoebe and Becky were sitting on the other side with no boy around. Neither of them looked happy.

Most members of this small group were from wealthy families and had strong family backgrounds. The two of them had always been the focus and were very popular among the boys.

Many people in the school had tried desperately to join this group but failed.

Phoebe and Becky had a unique sense of superiority every time they walked on campus with these boys and enjoyed the envious gazes of others.

Now, the boys were ignoring the two of them and were gathered around Claire.

Late at night, they left the KTV.

The boys surrounded Claire, still discussing the game.

Phoebe and Becky were left behind.

“Is she really good at playing games?” Becky felt uncomfortable and asked Phoebe.

Phoebe said in a ridiculing tone, “I haven’t seen her playing games, and I don’t know when she learned it. It’s strange. Girls should not be interested in games. But she seems to like it very much!”

Becky stared at Claire’s back, showing a look of disgust. “We are all learning piano and dancing, while she is learning how to play games. What a weirdo! Did she learn it to please boys?”

“Huh?” Phoebe put on that simple and innocent look again. “Maybe you think too much?”

Her reaction made Becky more convinced of this idea and she said angrily, “It must be like this! Look at those boys, who were originally our friends, but now they are all taken away by her! What’s the big deal about playing a game? Who can’t play a game?”

Chapter 218: Double Kill

Claire was using Derek’s account.

The game started and the five of them jumped off the plane and landed in a small town.

Joe stared at the phone and said, “Claire, find a place to hide. Otherwise, you’ll be killed in a minute.”

Claire didn’t say a word and took the lead to rush into the house to pick up equipment.

They emptied the house soon.

“Don’t move. Someone is coming.”

Claire suddenly said, her voice emotionless.

Everyone froze.

Joe asked. “How do you know someone is coming?”

Claire said calmly, “I heard footsteps.”

The others looked at each other and looked bewildered.

Why didn’t they hear anything?

“Find a place to hide, Chuck.” Claire glanced at the boy next to her. “Go to the window of the fifth floor of the second building.”

For some reason, Chuck trusted the girl, so he obediently ran to the place she mentioned.

“Then what?”

“Jump.”

Chuck jumped out of the window.

Sure enough, a person came out.

The man was hiding behind the big tree, trying to snipe Chuck, but didn’t notice that Claire was lying in ambush in the building behind him.

Before he aimed at Chuck, Claire set the gun on the window and aimed at him.

Her slender finger swiped across the screen.

With a bang, she successfully shot the man but didn’t kill him.

“d.a.m.n, good job!” Joe was extremely excited and wanted to go up to kill this guy.

Claire stopped him. “Don’t go up. He has teammates.”

Everyone stayed still.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the man’s teammates to come.

They were clever and threw a smoke bomb first.

“d.a.m.n it!” Joe kicked the coffee table and yelled at Claire. “You should have let me kill that guy! Now both of them will run away!”

Staring at the vast expanse of white on the screen, Claire narrowed her keen eyes, pressed her finger on the screen, and slowly moved the muzzle of her gun. Then, she narrowed her eyes and loosened her finger.

Two bangs.

The smoke dissipated, and the two people fell to the ground.

A double kill!

Everyone turned their heads at the same time and looked at Claire in shock. Under the light of the screen, the girl’s face was as cold as a white paper, and her quiet eyes were calm.

With smoke blocking the view, she still shot two people.

Did she cheat?

Joe showed a strange look. “Have you really never played this game?”

Claire didn’t speak.

The game continued.

Jack said, “We’ve almost picked up all the equipment available. Let’s go to the center.”

Claire glanced at the time, sliding her finger, and ran in the opposite direction.

Jack shouted. “Huh? Claire, where are you going? The center is not there!”

Claire’s footsteps didn’t stop.

Soon, she found a hillside and lay on her stomach. She turned the binoculars, and looked at the green path below.

Derek tweeted in her ear. “Why are you running to such a remote place? Everyone is going to the center. There won’t be anyone here!”

Claire glanced at the boy coldly and motioned for him to shut up.

Everyone was dismissive of Claire, thinking that she was hiding because of fear of death, so they didn’t bother to care about her and continued to charge into the battle.

Not long after, Chuck slammed his phone. “d.a.m.n, I’m dead!”

“Huh? Someone is coming!” Derek stared at Claire’s phone screen and howled.

Chuck was curious and leaned over to take a look.

A team appeared on the path below the hillside.

Claire narrowed her eyes. She began to shoot and soon killed the entire team.

She rushed down to pick up the equipment, then quickly returned to the hillside and continued with her ambush.

Chapter 217: Play A Round Of Game

Derek pushed open the door of a room inside the KTV.

Inside, the lights flickered, and there were girls and boys sitting on the sofa.

They looked up at the girl beside Derek at the same time.

The girl was wearing a black hoodie with the hat on, almost covering her little face. Behind her scattered bangs, her eyes were deep and dark like a pool of stagnant water. She carried a school bag on her shoulder and there was something proud and aloof about her.

Someone whistled. “Woohoo! What a pretty girl!”

The person next to him patted him and lowered his voice. “She is Claire.”

The man’s face became stiff. “d.a.m.n!”

The name Claire was known to everyone in Lance Middle School. There were many strange rumors about her, and they didn’t know if they were true or false.

The boys were sizing up the girl.

They were full of curiosity about this girl.

Standing at the door, Claire keenly caught a familiar figure.

She tilted her head to look and ran into Phoebe’s surprised gaze.

Soon, Phoebe looked away, her face blue and purple under the light.

Derek noticed her strangeness and whispered to Claire. “Sorry, Claire, I didn’t invite her. But my good friend Joe is chasing the prettiest girl in Cla.s.s Three, Becky.”

He pointed to a boy on the sofa and then pointed to a girl singing. “Look, it’s her. She and Phoebe are good friends and always hang out together. You know I hate Phoebe too!”

Claire sat down in the corner and leaned back lazily. The light was dazzling, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.

On the other side, the girls and boys were sitting together and having fun. Beautiful and smart, Phoebe and Becky were very popular in this small group.

Someone suddenly mentioned Little Darling Derek’s game live, and the boys started chatting about it.

“That person playing the second half was absolutely amazing. He won the losing game within just ten minutes.”

“In those ten minutes, he was on such a killing spree, which was so cool!”

“I heard that a hacker tried to hack Little Darling Derek’s account, but found nothing. It seems that Little Darling Derek’s background is not simple!”

Derek subconsciously looked at Claire, pursing his lips and chuckling secretly.

No one knew that the person who amazed them was Claire!

Phoebe and Becky didn’t know much about games, so they looked bored.

“Let’s play a round of game?” someone suggested.

“Okay!”

The boys took out their phones and completely forgot about the girls.

“Claire is with us!” Derek suddenly stood up and pointed to Claire in the corner.

Under the dim light, Claire’s eyes were gloomy, and she glanced at Derek coldly. “I can’t play games.”

Derek walked to the corner, grabbed Claire with one hand, and said childishly, “Come on, we both know you can play games. I hurt my hand. Play a round for me!”

The boys looked over. “Has she played ‘W2’?”

Derek blinked. “Uh… not much.”

“Then forget it. We don’t have time to save her.” The boys didn’t want to bring Claire along. After all, playing games with a girl was troublesome and boring.

At this moment, Claire raised her eyes slightly and stretched out her hand towards Derek, her voice lazy. “Give me your phone.”

Everyone was surprised, and Phoebe also cast a questioning look at Claire.

Derek suddenly became excited, hurriedly handed her his phone, and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will tutor you by the side.”

The boys sneered. “Little Overlord, what are you talking about? You suck like h.e.l.l in online games.”

Derek was extremely annoyed.

These guys laughed at his game skills every day! This time, he must have Claire earn his face back!

There were five people in the team, Joe, Jack, Wayne, Chuck, and Claire.

Chapter 216: Mr. Walker, Kiss Me

“Take a seat.”

James found the medicine box from the cabinet, sat down beside Derek, and gently squeezed his arm.

Derek groaned in pain.

“Well, your bones weren’t injured. Roll up your cuffs.”

Derek obediently rolled up his cuffs, and James applied a trauma lotion on his arm.

Seeing that the corners of his mouth were also broken, James dipped a cotton swab with disinfectant. Just when the cotton swab touched the wound, Derek shrank back with tears in his eyes. “It hurts! It hurts!”

“Okay, I’ll be careful.” James tried to be gentle and dealt with the wound on his mouth carefully.

Derek leaned closer, smiled, and asked proudly. “Mr. Walker, was I brave just now?”

James said casually, “In fact, you didn’t need to do it. I’m a black belt in taekwondo.”

“…”

After treating the wound, James closed the medicine box.

“If it hurts badly, just tell me and I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“Mr. Walker…” Derek grabbed James’s sleeve and looked at him with his watery eyes.

His tone was a bit childish. “I was seriously injured for you. Shouldn’t you give me a little reward? You haven’t given me the reward for pa.s.sing the test last time yet…”

James held back the smile. “Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?”

Derek bulged his cheek out and poked it with a finger. “Here, kiss here.”

James’s pupils shrank. “Derek, are you looking for a beating?”

He was refused?

Derek immediately covered his arm and cried out loud. “It hurts… It hurts…”

“What’s wrong? Does it hurt badly?” James hurriedly stood up. “Let me take you to the hospital!”

Derek dragged him to sit down again, leaned one cheek over, and said in a crying voice, “Kiss here. It won’t hurt anymore if Mr. Walker kisses me.”

This little b*stard…

James looked at the boy. His cheeks were fair and delicate, his eyes were moist, and there were still teardrops hanging on the lashes.

He looked so pitiful.

Alright…

It was just a kiss on the cheek, no big deal.

James blinked and slowly moved his lips toward the boy’s cheek, his breathing a bit heavy.

At the moment he was about to touch his cheek, Derek suddenly turned his head.

Caught off guard.

There was a whoosh.

James kissed Derek’s lips.

“You…” James leaned back and covered his mouth with his hand. His eyes behind the lenses were wide, full of panic.

“Oh, Mr. Walker, I didn’t mean it…”

This apology didn’t sound sincere at all.

Derek drew a sly smile, revealing two small white teeth, looking wicked and rebellious.

James lunged to his feet, and said coldly, “Okay, you can go back now.”

Derek raised his face and asked. “Mr. Walker, if my arm still hurts, can I call you?”

James looked down at the boy’s arm.

After all, he was injured because of him.

“Yes.”

Derek jumped up happily and deliberately c.o.c.ked his lips to speak. “Mr. Walker, I’m leaving. See you tomorrow.”

Seeing that the tips of James’s ears were blood red, he left with satisfaction.

After the door was closed, James breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously touched his lips, feeling his heart in turmoil.

The next day, in the evening.

Claire walked into a convenience store, picked up two packs of tissues, and stood at the cas.h.i.+er to check out.

“Claire?!” Derek suddenly appeared from behind, carrying a few bottles of drinks in his hand. “What a coincidence! We are playing at the KTV opposite. Do you want to join us?”

“No, thanks.” Claire pocketed the change.

“Come on! Don’t be so withdrawn. It’s just me and my friends.” Derek tugged at her arm to go with him.

Chapter 215: Mr. Walker, I’ll Protect You

The guy was lying prostrate on the hillside, using a pistol as a sniper rifle to snipe two people at once. This video went viral on the Internet, and even professional game clubs wanted to find this person.

No one knew Little Darling Derek was Derek yet except Claire.

Derek leaned in front of Claire. “Claire, you are famous now. Many people are looking for you. Will you show up?”

Claire stretched out her hand towards Derek. “Give me the phone.”

Derek obediently handed it to her.

Claire fiddled with his phone for a while before returning it to him.

Derek was confused. “What did you do to my phone?”

Claire said casually, “I have strengthened your account to prevent them from searching for you and finding your IP address.”

Derek’s eyes almost popped out.

Claire was awesome!

After school.

Derek came to the rooftop.

Larry bit his straw and drank c.o.ke. “Hey, how are your progress with Mr. Walker?”

“Not very good.” Derek found a chair and sat down.

Jack laughed and said, “Are you kidding me? Haven’t you succeeded yet?”

Larry curled his lips. “Mr. Walker is 28 years old. He should have had many boyfriends. He’s indeed a hard bone to chew.”

Having had many boyfriends. These words made Derek feel inexplicably irritable.

“Hey, do me a favor.”

——

It was getting late, and James drove home.

He lived in an old neighborhood, which was remote and didn’t have many residents.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Something hit his winds.h.i.+eld.

He immediately stepped on the brakes and got out of the car to check.

It was a stone.

At this time, a group of little ruffians with sticks rushed out from all directions to surround him.

James narrowed his eyes, his expression calm. “Do you want money?”

He took out a few banknotes from his wallet.

The head ruffian cursed. “Do you think we’re beggars? We don’t want money. We just want to beat you up!”

“You wanna fight, right?” James cracked a gentle smile. He took off his coat unhurriedly and slid it on the car. He untied his collar and cuffs gracefully.

“What are you doing!”

In the dark, a grumpy voice sounded.

It was Derek.

He suddenly ran over and stood in front of James. “Don’t be afraid, Mr. Walker, I will protect you.”

“Well…”

Before James could say anything, he saw Derek rus.h.i.+ng up.

He was skillful in fighting and knocked down this group of people at the fastest speed.

A little ruffian sneaked behind James, raised his stick, and slammed it at him.

“Mr. Walker!”

Derek suddenly rushed forward, s.h.i.+elding James, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the stick.

The stick hit his arm hard.

Derek groaned, his face pale.

Holding Derek who was about to fall, James lifted his foot and knocked the little ruffian to the ground.

The little ruffians fled.

James helped Derek into the car.

“Go to the hospital.”

Derek exuded cold sweat on his forehead and suddenly shouted. “No, no, I am most afraid of the hospital. I don’t want to go there!”

“…”

James looked at Derek’s arm.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Then go to my home.”

Derek’s eyes lit up.

The car stopped in front of an old building.

James supported Derek to the third floor and took out the key to open the anti-theft door.

The room was simply decorated, clean and cozy. There was a fresh fragrance in the air.

Just like its owner, James.
