Chapter 99: Help Me In VRG
Erika stood calmly in front of the two, her purple bow hanging behind her.
"Who is she? A friend?" Queen-of-death whispered to him.
"Don\'t know yet." He answered.
Erika looked at the two calmly and said to Supreme. "Can we talk in private?" Her gaze fell on Reaper who stood behind Supreme, who was also staring at her.
\'This monster!\'
\'This human, Does she want to attack my Lord again?\' Reaper got ready to attack if this human tries anything.
Supreme looked around and said. "Ok, Meet me in my lobby." He turned to Queen-of-death. "You can go back to the real world, Jennie. I won\'t be back early."
Queen-of-death just nodded her head. She looked at Erika one last time then walked away.
Supreme nodded at Erika, He communicated with AI; and vanished from the store with Drakon and Reaper.
\'Did He just agreed to talk to me?\' Erika looked at everyone, then vanished from the store.
_____
SUPREME\'S LOBBY.
The three appeared in his lobby. \'Who was that lady? Because Birdbrain don\'t seem to like her.\' Drakon asked.
Before he could say anything, AI\'s Voice sounded.
"Let her in."
A light pillar appeared in front of the group, and Blood-Arrow walked out from it unarmed. She was momentarily stunned seeing the castle. Then thought of his words.
\'I Am The Richest Player In VRG.\' She blinked. \'Was he telling the truth back then?\'
Supreme waved his hand and two chairs flew out from the Castle landing before them. He took his seat, while Drakon stood on his shoulder and Reaper stood behind him.
His gaze was fixed on Blood-Arrow as she sat down in front of him.
"Thank you--"
"--Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" He cut her off.
Even with such beauty in front of him, he remained a straight face, not caring one bit.
She nodded and got straight to point. "I need your help--"
"--My help?" Now he was confused, why would such a player like her ask for help? Moreover, She is already a Bronze medal 2-stars holder, then why need his help?
"With what?" He added, a small frown settling on his face.
"Years ago, My little sister had an accident which placed her in a peculiar situation..."
The group remained silent waiting for her to finish. Even though Erika wasn\'t the conversationist, she was doing good at the moment.
"...The accident affected her legs, she could only move around in a wheelchair. But... The Doctor said she\'ll be able to walk again, only if I have life times for the surgery."
"I don\'t see how I can help." He relaxed on his seat, observing her calmly.
"The Doctor asked for 5,000 years of life times, I only have 500 with me now."
\'500? How many games have she played?\' He was surprised, but didn\'t say anything.
Some seconds past.
Seeing she wasn\'t planning on continuing, he asked. "You need life times?"
"Yes, but not from yours."
\'What is she saying?\' Even Drakon was confused.
"I don\'t get."
Blood-Arrow exhaled, and said:
"Maria\'s surgery needs 5,000 life times, I won\'t be able to provide it all if I am killed in a game, So... So..." She hesitated.
He was silently observing her. \'Who\'ll believe that Blood-Arrow don\'t know how to hold a conversation.\'
"...So, I want to ask if you can play VRG with me, till I gain the total amount of life times."
\'What a lady? She doesn\'t want help from anyone, but need a good teammate who will have her back in a game. So she could focus on getting life times All these for just her sister, she is just like me who\'ll do anything for my sister.\'
He held his jaw with his index and thumb fingers, thinking about her word.
"Are you asking me to be your babysitter?"
"I can protect myself, but for me to gain life times quicker, I need to play harder games. Which Dangers\' rate are overwhelming high, so I need your help, we can be partners or Teammates."
Supreme frowned deeply hearing her. She quickly noticed it and said:
"Trust me, I won\'t betray you."
He remained silent for a moment, thinking. Blood-Arrow\'s heart was beating heavily in her chest, Supreme was the only player she could ask for help. She believes he won\'t have any bad thought or intention towards her or her body.
Their conversation prove her claims, some men would have quickly accepted to help her, because of her beauty. If she dropped her guard, they\'ll strike.
Supreme might be different, but that doesn\'t mean she\'ll drop her guard around him.
"Sorry, I work Alone."
Blood-Arrow was stunned hearing his reply, she wasn\'t expecting it. Out of everything she said; He refused!
"But... Wait. Take me like I\'m Invisible, I won\'t slow you down or get in your way, promise."
\'She must really want your help.\' He looked at Drakon then at her.
"Why don\'t you play easy games? Or is this surgery urgent?" He asked, not getting why she was going for the hardest games.
Blood-Arrow lowered her head. "Easy and low level games don\'t give enough life times, This is the only way." She raised her head to him:
"I\'m sorry for what happened in the past, that I tried to kill you, But please; Help me."
Supreme stared at her for a while, not saying anything.
\'She looks lost, I think you are her last hope, even though she tried to kill you in the past. So... What should we do? Help her or not?\' Drakon turned to him.
"Ok, Erika. What do I have in return for helping you?"
"Huh?" She looked up at him totally perplexed.
"Come on now, do you think I\'ll help you for free?"
Blood-Arrow nodded and closed her eyes. \'At least he agreed to help me, I have no use for this stone, I\'ll just give it to him.\' She opened her eyes, with a flick of her wrist. A red stone appeared in her hand.
Supreme sat up instantly. "Another First Stage Evolution Stone?" He looked behind him. \'Reaper can now evolve.\'
