Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 634

Chapter 634

What Elise had announced completely shut everyone's mouths. After that, everyone ate their own food at the table and the atmosphere was unusually silent.

After dinner, she went upstairs. Now that the teacher had canceled her evening test, there was nothing else she needed to do in particular. Therefore, there was no need for her to be constantly in school every day.

After taking a shower, she saw the set of equipment that Wendy had given her. Then, after she wrapped her hair with a dry towel, she sat down at the computer desk.

Finally, she opened the box and saw the words 'Apocalypse Strike' gilded on the box's interior. This should be the name of the game.

After setting up the equipment, Elise entered the game's interface.

As a matter of fact, 'Apocalypse Strike' could not be regarded as a game in the traditional sense. It was more like a stand-alone adventure game. After logging into the game, one did not have to do anything. Instead, they just needed to spectate the NPC's behavior.

Elise saw Winston Churchill in the game, who had unified all the member nations. However, when the countries were thrown into war, one of the member nations retaliated by dropping an atomic bomb. As a result, there was a collision that destroyed the entire country.

She tried to stop it from happening but could not do anything. When the game interface turned pitch black, the computer screen had also turned black. Then, it automatically returned to the original desktop screen.

At once, Elise woke up from the game and glanced at the time. Only less than 5 minutes had passed?! The game flow of 'Apocalypse Strike' is a little too fast.

Knock! Knock!

"Who is it?"

She was startled when someone suddenly knocked on her door.

"It's me, Owen," the person outside the door responded.

Elise regained her composure when she heard that and got up to open the door.

"Is something the matter?" she asked impassively.

Owen lifted the tray in his hand and said, "I saw you didn't eat much at night, so I made some supper. Would you like to have some?"

Before she could speak, he saw the 'Apocalypse Strike' gaming equipment beside the computer desk from the corner of his eye.

A trace of unnoticeable joy flashed in Owen's eyes. However, he quickly hid it. Then, he helped himself and walked in. After he put down the tray in his hand, he added, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to get married so soon. You do know that you have better choices out there, right?"

"What do you want to say?" She crossed her arms over the chest and blocked his way.

"Good advice, like medicine, is a bitter pill to swallow. Likewise, faithful admonitions are unpleasant to the ears. Mr. Fassbender treats me well and you're his goddaughter. So I don't want to be an onlooker when you're making a bad decision." Owen pushed his glasses and had a righteous expression on his face. Then, he continued, "Men know men the best. Those men who think deeply of using marriage to restrict women as soon as possible often wish to turn women into their private property. Miss Sinclair, it's good for you to never ever set foot on this path."

"So, you're meaning to tell me that Alexander wants to keep me in captivity and raise me to be his pet?" Elise smiled mockingly at his words.

"The fragility of humanity cannot withstand such a test. So, Miss Sinclair, I'm simply reminding you to be cautious. Because I regard you as a family member, I'm taking the risk of being criticized as a snake and sharing with you my innermost thoughts," Owen said, his words filled with double meanings.

"Thank you, Mr. Morgan, for your concern. But even if my husband wants to keep me in captivity, it would only happen when I consent to it. So, you don't have to worry about the affairs between my husband and me," she rebuked bluntly.

"If that's the case, I guess I'm overthinking," he said warmly. "Joey calls me Owen, and I regard you as my family. So, you can just call me Owen in the future."

"That is unnecessary," Elise said coldly. "The relationship I have with the Fassbender Family can't be put on the same pedestal as your relationship with them. It is better to distinguish some things clearly. The world would be a chaotic mess without some boundaries."

He blurted out when he heard that, "It has always been a messed up world."

"What?" She immediately became wary of him.

"Oh, it's nothing." Owen swiftly concealed his emotions. Then, he returned to his gentle and elegant self. "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you. Have a good rest, Miss Sinclair."

Elise did not want to continue their conversation any longer, so she was resolute when she said, "Goodnight."

Even so, he was not annoyed and walked out calmly.

She waited until there was no sound of footsteps. Only then did she turn her face around and stare at the door meaningfully for a while before closing the door again. Lying on the bed, she could not help but recall Owen's words.

Why does Owen say the world is a mess? This question had troubled her all night.

Early the following day, she began to investigate the matters relating to 'Apocalypse Strike' and Wendy. However, the result came up empty, making Elise feel all the more suspicious. Something is off about this!

Owen quietly left the villa and went to Wendy's house in the dead of night.

"Miss Jennings," he respectfully greeted as he stood by the door at a far distance.

"Failed again?" Wendy asked, looking indifferent as she did not even bother to look at him.
