Chapter 296: Chapter 288: Aurora Torments Her Until She Cries

Alvin Morgan smiled, closed his game, and went to the kitchen. He took the milk warming in the electric kettle and handed it to Aurora Sinclair and Leigh Miles.

“Did he give you something?”

Aurora Sinclair nodded and glanced at Arthur Lockwood.

Alvin Morgan immediately told Arthur Lockwood to leave. “It’s time for you to go to bed.”

“I’m not done playing yet!” Arthur Lockwood stared at the TV, rapidly mashing the buttons on his controller.

After Alvin Morgan had left the PK room, someone else entered, and the two of them had already started a new match, which was now in full swing.

“Dean Morgan…”

Dean Morgan immediately stepped forward and forcefully yanked the plug.

“Ah… my points…”

With a wooden expression, Dean Morgan walked over and made a “please leave” gesture. “Young Master Lockwood, if you please—”

Arthur Lockwood was helpless and had no choice but to leave the room.

After he left, Aurora Sinclair beckoned Alvin Morgan into the innermost bedroom and filled the entire room with a domain of her Power.

She handed a handwritten manual to Alvin Morgan. “Morgan, take a look at this.”

A few minutes later, Alvin Morgan’s brow furrowed. “This is the material your First Senior Uncle compiled?”

Aurora Sinclair nodded. “He said it can be trained to the Ninth Layer. I ran some deductions, and it is indeed trainable, but it requires one’s physical condition to be at least at the Basic Realm of a Martial Lord.”

Alvin Morgan put the manual down. “Your First Senior Uncle is a genius.”

Just then, Leigh Miles chimed in, “Senior Sister, why don’t we tell First Senior Uncle that we’ve already found the Correct Boxing Technique?”

“First Senior Uncle is no longer a Sunstone Native.” Aurora Sinclair calmly put the manual away.

Leigh Miles pouted, glanced at Alvin Morgan beside her, and stopped herself from saying that Morgan wasn’t a Sunstone Native either.

Alvin Morgan glanced at her and said faintly, “Leigh, people’s hearts are hard to fathom. Your First Senior Uncle has been away from Veridia for decades. The people around him are numerous and of all sorts; it’s inevitable that there are spies from hostile forces. For the sake of secrecy, it’s best he doesn’t know about this.”

Aurora Sinclair nodded heavily. “This matter is as important as what happened to Master. It must not be revealed.”

“Oh, okay!” Leigh Miles picked up her milk bottle, took a big gulp, her eyes filled with an ’the adult world is so troublesome’ look.

Aurora Sinclair raised her hand and stroked her hair. “Leigh, be good…”

Leigh Miles immediately buried herself in Aurora Sinclair’s embrace like a little kitten, a sight that made Alvin Morgan feel a bit helpless.

Before going to sleep, Aurora Sinclair suddenly received a message from Alvin Morgan.

[Morgan: Aurora, two foreigners came to Seawell Pharma the day before yesterday. One of them is the blonde woman we saw on the beach.]

***

「The next morning.」

Aurora Sinclair and the others went to the eighth-floor restaurant of the hotel for breakfast, just like any other day.

It was a buffet, so they could choose their own dishes.

“Junior Sister, over here…” Elias Lennox’s voice came from somewhere in the room.

Aurora Sinclair turned her head and saw Elias Lennox, Hector Lennox, and Hector Lennox’s two disciples drinking tea.

Leigh Miles yawned and was the first to speak. “YAWN… Good morning, First Senior Uncle, and all you senior brothers…”

“Why are you so tired? Did you stay up all night playing games?” Elias Lennox asked with a laugh.

Leigh Miles rolled her eyes. “It’s because those beach photos of you sold like hotcakes. I was working customer service until two in the morning.”

Elias Lennox: …

This time, Alvin Morgan didn’t avoid anyone, naturally sitting down across from Aurora Sinclair with his tray.

Jean Quincy tactfully got up and took her tray to find Joanna Monroe and Faye Hughes.

Hector Lennox sized up Alvin Morgan for a moment and asked with a smile, “You look a bit like an old acquaintance of mine, especially your eyes.”

Alvin Morgan opened a bottle of milk for Aurora Sinclair and replied faintly, “Mr. Lennox, my surname is Morgan.”

“Morgan… could you be? No wonder the resemblance is so strong… What is Adrian Morgan to you?”

“He’s my eldest uncle. My father is the third son, Yueyi.”

Hector Lennox seemed to think for a moment, then asked curiously, “Loyalty, Filial Piety, Integrity, Righteousness. Why is your father the third?”

“There was an aunt before him who passed away young.”

The two of them exchanged a few indifferent pleasantries.

Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from the entrance. “Elias, so this is where you’re staying? Why are you avoiding me?”

A woman in a camisole and shorts ran over and hugged Elias Lennox’s neck tightly from behind.

“Alice?”

“Didn’t we agree you’d come to my place? Why did you stand me up?”

“Training was too busy.”

The woman was very displeased. She looked up, scanned the people nearby, and said with great disdain, “Playing games with a bunch of kids?”

Because she spoke in the international common tongue, most of the people at the table understood her. Faye Hughes, especially incensed, slammed the table and shot to her feet. “Who are you calling kids? Who the hell are you?”

The woman glanced at her and rolled her eyes. “Elias, why are you hanging out with these people?”

Elias Lennox was getting a headache. He quickly turned to put out the fire. “Alice, don’t talk like that. They’re all my friends. Apologize, now…”

Alice threw a displeased tantrum, but Elias Lennox’s attitude was firm, so she had no choice but to compromise.

Although she verbally relented and apologized, the arrogance in her eyes didn’t lessen in the slightest.

At that moment, Hector Lennox suddenly laughed and replied, “Since we’ve run into each other, why not have a match!”

“Yeah, Aurora should crush her! The kind that makes her cry!” Faye Hughes glared at Alice and said with a cold smirk.

Alice shrugged, looking indifferent, and said disdainfully, “Fine by me.”

Aurora Sinclair stuffed two more steamed custard buns into her mouth and finished her milk before finally standing up.

Afterward, the group went to an internet cafe, ready to watch Aurora Sinclair crush her.

The woman played a Mage, and her in-game ID was also Alice.

Faye Hughes and Joanna Monroe were stunned. “Alice, the Mage from the GOI Team?”

GOI was the champion team from Crestland and an old rival of Veridia’s Team PL. The two fanbases often tore into each other online, especially during the international tournament the year before last, when their online war almost escalated into a physical one.

Joanna Monroe furrowed her brow and said in confusion, “How come she doesn’t look like the person in the videos?”

Elias Lennox sighed. “She’s the daughter of a Crestland tycoon. She doesn’t dare show her real face on camera for fear of being kidnapped.”

Arthur Lockwood suddenly let out a whistle. “Not bad, kid. You even dare to sleep with a tycoon’s daughter?”

A meaningful smile appeared on Elias Lennox’s face, but it earned him several glares from Leigh Miles, who moved away from him in disgust.

“Scumbag—”

***

Aurora Sinclair rolled her wrists and logged into her account.

Alice exclaimed in shock, “Veridia’s number one female boxer?”

Aurora Sinclair glanced up at her and clicked the ready button.

A trace of excitement appeared on Alice’s face, and then she declared loudly, full of fighting spirit, “I will defeat you, female boxer.”

But those domineering words only held up for a few minutes before they became a joke as the Mage, Alice, fell to the ground.

Using the international common tongue, Aurora Sinclair said faintly, “Elementary schoolers play better than you.”

Her voice was calm, but it carried a satisfying sting. The DAF team members beside them smugly started chanting, “Elementary schooler!”

This angered Alice so much her face darkened completely.

“Again—”

But this time was even faster. In less than two minutes, Alice was on the ground.

“Your skills are too poor.”

“Again—”

She got wrecked again.

“You need to hone your skills.”

“Again…”

Finally, with her eyes red-rimmed, Alice looked aggrievedly at Elias Lennox.

Aurora Sinclair stood up and asked in confusion, “Are you really on a professional team?”

That sentence was a one-shot kill. Alice burst into tears and ran out.

Elias Lennox said helplessly, “Junior Sister, let her win a round next time. Her dad sponsors the tournament every year, after all…” Then he chased after her.

The DAF team members now looked at Aurora Sinclair as if they were worshipping a god.

“O great one, we’re not worthy!”

Arthur Lockwood gave Alvin Morgan a strange look, then gave him a thumbs-up. “As expected of the disciple brought up by Morgan. She’s really captured your essence.”

Meanwhile, a trace of surprise surfaced in Hector Lennox’s eyes as he looked at Aurora Sinclair.

This game had been in development for ten years and was jointly created by the Five Continents. Its original purpose was entertainment, but because he himself had been the action director, he actually preferred using the game to discover people who had a different understanding of Martial Arts.

In particular, the character stats in this game were set with reference to the Combat Power standards of the International Martial Alliance, giving them a certain degree of real-world relevance.

“Dawn Miles, was that Fist Technique you just used taught by your master?”
