Noelle and Cedric Chapter 40

Chapter 40

Cedric and Noelle returned to their apartment complex.

When Noelle logged into her account, she received a notification saying that someone had sent her a friend request. She glanced at the username and realized that it was actually Lucas. She had only rejected Lucas' request to join his team a few days ago, so she never expected that her arrogant brother would contact her himself.

Noelle did not accept his friend request but proceeded to team up with Cedric to clear a dungeon.

They completed the round with three other random players. Once the round was over, she received another friend request.

She then realized it was from the player who had joined them in defeating the previous dungeon. Remembering that the player had been quite skilled, she accepted the friend request. Almost immediately, she received a message from that player.

The message read, "Hello. I'm Lucas Liddell, the captain of Team Luminark. I believe you're a talented gamer. Would you like to join our team? We can discuss the terms and conditions later." • Noelle frowned. "Why is he everywhere?"
