Chapter 279

Carson: “Didn’t Fallon from Serenity Real Estate get a concussion from your punch?”

Elio: “Because he said Roman was an orphan, shouldn’t he be beaten?”

Carson was speechless.

Thinking about it now, those people deserved to be beaten. It’s just that Yates was so arrogant today,

and it’s rare for Elio to hold back. The light turned green and Carson focused on driving, staying silent,

In truth, Elio really wanted to fight Yates today.

But Astrid and Yates were childhood sweethearts. Even though there’s nothing romantic between them,

she considered him as a friend.

If he did hit Yates, she might not say anything on the surface, but she would definitely be hurt on the

inside. The goodwill he had accumulated through hard work might disappear because of this.

Astrid just moved into a new home and was about to pack up but was stopped Rickon. “Star, chill out.

You’re always working your butt off. Take a break now and let me handle this.”

“I have so many things, how long are you going to clean them up by yourself?” Astrid was about to get

up but Rickon pushed her back down again. Rickon pulled out his phone, opened a game, and handed

it to Astrid. “Your task is to help me improve the game level.”

“What?” Astrid, looking at the phone in her hand, immediately reached out and pinched Rickon’s face.

“Are you really Rickon? The Rickon I know always says gaming is a waste of time! You monster! Give

me back Rickon!”

Rickon glanced at Astrid, pushed her head back down onto the couch.” No more questions. Just play

the game. I’ll get someone to help pack things. You don’t need to worry about it.”

“Fine.” Astrid, having no choice, can only listen to Rickon’s demand and started gaming on the couch.

After just one round, Astrid was shocked. She chose a game role but found out that Rickon’s win rate

was only 9%…

She switched to several other game roles only to find that Rickon’s win rate didn’t exceed 30% with any

of them. This was a total disaster!

“Rickon, have you ever considered that gaming might not be your thing?” Astrid said, trying to put it

gently.

Rickon frowned, “Who says I’m not cut out for it? I think I’m pretty talented. I can kill dozens of people

even at the lowest level.”

Astrid chuckled, “Rickon, new players usually get paired with bots. In other words, you’re not playing

against real humans, but robots…” “Star, do you really think I’m that easy to fool? Just help me level

up!” After saying this, Rickon went back to sorting things out.

Astrid held her head in her hands. Did Rickon take the wrong pills or something?

While she was gaming, she heard Jon and Colton’s voices outside the door.

Colton: “Jon, have you lost your mind? Why did you buy so many cacti?”

“Mind your own business!” Jon walked in, arms full of cacti, grinning from ear to ear. “Star, look what I

brought for you!”

Astrid looked up, gave him a dismissive glance, and then continued playing her game.

Jon continued to ramble: “These cacti, you can put them on the windowsill and nightstand in your

bedroom. They’re nice to look at, but they can also come in handy as self–defense tools!”

“Like say, if Elio suddenly barges into your house with ill intentions, you can fling these cacti at him!”
