Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 106  Alicia's Hesitation?!

Alicia's pretty face was covered in a tint of a red hue. Her eyelashes fluttered as she avoided making eye contact with him.

'Wh-What should I do?!'

'I can't say no! Otherwise, he might get hurt.'

She wouldn't admit that in her heart she didn't want to deny it, either.

'But, I also can't say yes!'

That's too embarrassing for her.

After thinking for a moment, Alicia used her strength to push Luis away and escape from his embrace.

Her flustered heart was already beating fast, but she showed an angry expression and shouted. "D-Don't try to change the topic! Just answer my question!"

Everyone watched Alicia's performance with amused expressions on their faces.

Lumine held herself back from chuckling. 'Hehe, he is changing the topic or you are avoiding his question?'

Away from his embrace, Alicia's racing heart slowly calmed down and, as she regained her composure, she looked at Luis with a frown. Expressing how 'angry' she was!

Luis signed, thinking, 'Alicia's coercing strategy failed. I guess I can only hope to get some good results with tomorrow's date.'

Nodding his head, Luis said, "Okay, fine. I admit. I was bragging."

Seeing Luis admitting it, the three adults were surprised. Thinking, will the drama end early? Lumine was a bit disappointed and Ronald looked at Luis with furrowed brows, 'Hmm, even after inheriting my genes, Luis still can't handle this situation.'

David looked at Alicia and showed a relieved smile. 'It seems my daughter isn't fully corrupted yet.'

Alicia took on a haughty pose, seemingly happy that she had got a win over him. Just as she was just about to say something, Luis' next words stopped her.

"But even if I bragged a little. It's not my fault."

"What?" Alicia frowned, not expecting him to say something like that.

Luis nodded and said, "Well, who wouldn't want to brag and show off a little when they have such a goddess-tier fiancee?"

Then, showing a confident expression, he continued. "So, what I did was completely excusable!"

Lumine was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Luis to turn the tables suddenly. While being shameless, he also praised her at the same time and completely whitewashed himself as innocent.

Ronald and David were shocked and couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.

Alicia pouted, aware of what Luis was trying to do. But because of his constant praises, she was having a hard time being angry at him.

In the end, she sighed and said with a flat expression. "Whatever, I don't care anymore."

Since the drama was over, and nothing interesting was left to see here. Ronald lifted the sound barrier and, along with Lumine, left the room. Saying that he wanted to rest.

David left after them while giving another sharp glance at Luis and Alicia.

Luis looked at David's leaving back wryly. 'What was that look for?! I am not doing anything to your daughter, okay? No need to warn me like that!'

Just when he thought of that, he instantly remembered his actions just now.

'Uh, maybe I teased her a bit too much in front of them. So I guess it's normal that he is upset.'

Shaking his head, Luis turned to look at Alicia. Who, for some reason, hadn't left yet and was the only person left other than him in this room.

"Um, Alicia, aren't you going? Or do you want to stay with me a little more?"

"Luis," Alicia called out in a low voice.

Luis raised one of his eyebrows when he saw Alicia's serious expression. 'What's up with her?'

"What happened, Alicia?" He asked while knitting his brows, not teasing her anymore.

Her blue eyes stared at him expressionlessly. She opened her mouth to say something, but then she hesitated and retracted back.

"See you later!" With those words, she left the room.

Seeing her leave, Luis mumbled in confusion, "What's wrong with her?"

He could see that she wanted to say something, but hesitated. Although he was curious to know what was up with her, since she had already left, it was not a good idea to ask her now.

'I'll try asking her at tomorrow's date.'

'Wait! The date isn't cancelled, right?!'

Thinking of this, he hastily sent her a message. To which he got a reply within a few seconds.

[Time?]

"Hmm, after breakfast!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Okay!]

---

"Well, that's done."

Luis mumbled, then sighed, slumping on his bed.

"Finally over. Everyone kept asking so many questions that I felt like I was on a trial."

With closed eyes, he gradually slowed down his breathing. After concentrating for a moment, he mumbled.

'I feel like I am ready for the breakthrough.'

***

As he expected, his battle with Alicia helped him trigger his chance to break through. 'Now I can finally enter the Order Rank!'

Without wasting any time. Luis used his spatial magic.

"Pocket Space!"

Then, through the purple vortex, he instantly went inside his pocket space.

***

When Luis opened his eyes, he found himself in a white room, with 200 cubic meters in size.

In one corner of the room, he saw many items, kept in an organized manner.

"I don't know how much the size of my Pocket Space will increase once I break through to Order Rank," Luis uttered, with some expectations.

Then Luis took out some items and started drawing a magic formation on the white ground.

It was the same magic formation that he had in the mana training room of the Suarez family estate.

With his Sorcery Talent, it wasn't difficult for him to draw it. Then he took out a lot of mana stones and some other materials to activate the Magic Formation.

"Finally done!"

Though the process was simple for him. It still took him more than an hour to prepare everything.

After a test, Luis was certain that the formation was working properly. So he went and took out a lot of herbs, pills, and elixirs. Then placed them at the centre of the formation.

After that, he finally brought out the important items for today's breakthrough.
