Chapter 588: A spar?


    “Please tell me what you need, and I’ll definitely help you.” Luke said, as he politely offered to help PinkLotus in whatever sphere she needed assistance.


    For a brief moment, PinkLotus’s eyes lit up at the thought of finally getting the chance to fight ‘TheBoss’. However, that spark quickly faded as she realized that pushing Leo into a fight wouldn’t be the most courteous move.


    “Well, allow me to reintroduce myself first. I’m Alia, a.k.a PinkLotus and I’m your neighbor in the VIP sector.


    It’s my first day here, so please be kind to me.” She said, as she especially singled out Leo while saying thest line.


    “Yes of-course, we will all be kind to you, won’t we?” Luke said, as he too threateningly singled out Leo, who immediately nodded his head in agreement.


    “Absolutely…. Neighbor bond is the most important thing on the Arc Ship, we will certainly be kind to one another” Leo said half seriously and half satirically as he tiptoed the fine line between expressing his frustration and not pissing Luke off.


    “I only came here today to request a spar with your younger brother, but he doesn’t seem to be willing to aodate me.


    I’m sorry for the intrusion, please excuse me–” PinkLotus said, as she tacitly did not press the issue anymore, however, Luke did not let it slide. “Oh a spar? Leo loves to spar. He will definitely spar with you this fine morning–” Luke said, deciding on Leo’s behalf, as Leo threw his hands up in frustration.


    “But brother….. I was in the middle of my dail—” Leo began, but before he couldplete his sentence he took a look into the cold eyes of Luke Skyshard and immediately felt his courage draining out of his body.


    “It’s such a beautiful day to spar, of-course I will spar with her. You want to spar now?” Leo said, changing his tune by 180° as he gave PinkLotus the kindest fake smile.


    “Pfft—” PinkLotus chuckled, as she did not expect that the cold and domineering Boss would actually turn out to be such an adorable and obedient little brother in real life.


    “Thank You so much, fighting you has been a long time dream of mine” PinkLotus said, as Leo rolled his eyes at her words.


    “Thank You for helping me today…. Sir Luke, I owe you one” Alia said, as she smiled genuinely towards Luke, who felt simply lost in her charm.


    “Am I supposed to fight her seriously? Or do you want me to let her win?” Leo asked, his voice growing increasingly pissed as he approached the limits of his patience.


    “You must fight me seriously, I’m not here to see you go easy on me!” Alia protested, as Leo simply scoffed in response.update ?y ?0?el1st.cοm


    He was not sure about the real world, as he had never fought out here before, but at least in the game world, he had the confidence to say that there was no yer near his skill level, PinkLotus included.


    At his current strength, the only individual in his eyes who was still capable of bringing out his 100% strength was his master Ben, but Ben Faulkner was unfortunately no more.


    “Woman rx, don’t get ahead of yourself” Leo said putting a palm to her face as he simply refused to entertain the notion that she could fight on equal footing against him.


    “Ha, I hope you can keep up this confidence once I actuallye at you with everything that I’ve got–” Alia said, as Leo waved her off as being way over her head.


    “You can fight her with all you got, but I don’t want scratches, broken bones, or any bodily harm brought to her…. Understand?” Luke said, as his words made both PinkLotus and Leo puff their cheeks in anger.


    “I don’t need his mercy…. I can fend for myself” Alia protested, stomping her feet in anger, while Leo wildly waved his hands in a ‘No’ gesture as he said “I’m an assassin brother. If I can’t even scratch her then what am I supposed to do? Hold hands and start a samba dance?”


    Leo was clearly angry with Luke’s instructions, but despite both parties being unsatisfied about his demands, Luke stuck by it.


    “There will be no serious injuries here today” Luke said authoritatively as his decision made Leo mumble in veiled fury.


    Leo really wanted to crush PinkLotus’s ego for once and for all today, scaring her beyond her wits so that she would never bother him again, however, his brother barred him from giving her a traumatic experience.


    It was almost like his brother had some special soft corner for PinkLotus, as Leo simply refused to believe that he was making these decisions while being unbiased.


    “Those are the rules of this spar Leo…. And no amount of your mumbling is going to change my mind.


    You will not injure her, unless you think you cannot beat her without injuring her” Luke said, as he aimed straight for Leo’s weak spot, ying on his massive ego.


    “Ho–ho–ho, who said I can’t beat her without injuring her? Who the hell do you think I am, brother? I’m THE BOSS, they don’t call me the number one yer in the game for no reason” Leo said, as he refused to take that taunt lying down and decided to walk straight into Luke’s trap instead.


    “Fine, but you better not use it as an excuse to justify your defeatter, because unlike you, I’m not going to go easy on you” Alia warned, as Leo simply stared at Luke waiting for him to warn her as he warned him, but Luke stayedpletely silent this time around.


    “The betrayal….” Leo said with pain in his voice as Luke only coughed lightly in response.


    Since it was the 23rd century, Luke did not use any misogynistic slogans outloud, however, through his eyes he conveyed his unmistakable message to Leo.


    ‘Come on, man up, she’s a woman! Just how dangerous can she be?’ he said, as he instructed Leo to grow a pair and not whine about the small stuff.
