62 What matters is that you're still the legal husband
It wasn't long when Secretary Yun came back with an apparent expression of uneasiness, he hastily glance at the two young masters and mumbled something to the other person who just entered with him.
"It's been a while, Shin, Tristan..." Junho Silas the game's executive in charge greeted.
He's a skinny, fairly good looking man in his early 30's but his unkempt appearance and shaggy hair made him look like a vagabond.
"How have you been?" Tristan smack hands with Junho, like meeting an old friend.
"Fine, I guess...you want to know about our contract player, Yeri Zhi?" Junho Silas nonchalantly sat across them and scratched his head, seemingly thinking. "Well, she's a high school student, pretty but unfriendly, like the cold wind blowing in the-"
"Ahem!" Secretary Yun quickly interrupted, "Mister Silas, I don't mean your impression of her but Boss wants to know her game statistics, connections and involvement in this event."
'Boss?' Junho Silas attention darted to Shin Keir, despite his strange feeling he decided to wave it off.
"It was Saeki who signed her up along with those other guys, he said they're all his teammates. I didn't see any problem given that they're rankers and have high stats but she's only here to promote the game, maybe she will change her mind if the pool prize increases."
"This is very interesting with Saeki's personality, he would have long hit on her and bragged to us," Tristan commented with a mischievous grin.
"Ah, I remembered Saeki saying they only got acquainted in the game and he just met her today, as for her game stats..." Junho Silas paused and glance at the led screen outside. "Her succubus avatar contributed a lot to her high rank despite her login time being low."
"A succubus?" Tristan chuckled and leaned lazily on the couch, it's not surprising that the naughty bunny will choose a succubus.
"That's it? can you be more specific?" Shin Keir looked dissatisfied.
Junho Silas was surprised, Shin Keir is showing interest in a woman? If that's the case...
"How did she offend you? I can just blacklist her if you want." Junho assumed that could be the only reason for Shin Keir to ask about a woman.
Tristan laughed, somehow enjoying their conversation.
["Everyone we are now in Elysium, the newly opened dungeon!"
The loud, resounding voice of the host interrupted them, the crowd's attention focused on the live game demo shown on the large led screens.
["What a proficient display of our players' skills! our team seem to know each other's strengths and weaknesses. It appears that 'in-game marriages' is very advantageous compared to forming a team."]
"This is the enigma of having a gorgeous succubus wifey!" Saeki joke around with the host as his fingers dance on the keyboard.
Upon hearing that, Tristan slap his leg and burst out laughing, of course, it was easy to understand what Saeki meant since he is one of the developers.
Turns out Yeri made practical and effective use of her avatar, marrying high ranking players instead of joining any guilds or team.
"Don't take it to heart it's just a game! what matters is that you're still the legal husband." Tristan appeased Shin but his wicked smile doesn't seem to be fitting with his words.
"..." Shin Keir.
"Come to think of it, for bunny to rank high means she's been playing this for years...How many do you think she married so far?" Tristan added.
Secretary Yun felt like his butt is on fire while the rest of his body is feeling the arctic.
'Young Master Felan is fully aware of the tyrant emperor's personality, even if it's just a game he will surely take it to heart yet why is he provoking him?'
"I believe Fifth Young Master Jie is unaware of Miss Zhi's relationship with you, Boss." Secretary Yun tried to mend the situation.
"What is going on?" Junho felt annoyed and confused. "Shin that girl is still young, If she offended you in any way just be lenient this time and let me take care of it."
"Don't worry she didn't offend our baby cub here," Tristan told Junho and patted Shin Keir. "Shin, just out of curiosity, between you and Saeki, who do you think she will choose?"
"Hey! what are you up to?" Junho may not know the details but he can tell that Tristan is taunting Shin Keir.
"Young Master Felan, If the Boss blank out..." Secretary Yun also reminded Tristan.
It would have been better if Shin Keir got furious like usual rather than being calm, which is more terrifying.
'Isn't this a good opportunity to test my hunch?' Tristan looked completely unconcerned and his eyes beamed in amusement.
"All of you shut up!"
Shin Keir marched out of the room, devoid of any emotions.
"If the two of you plan to go crazy here, I swear I'll f*ckin resign!" Junho Silas warned Tristan and left to follow Shin Keir.

"Just one last strike to the dungeon boss!" the host concluded.
Yeri felt relieved, soon she can finally go home.
[Dungeon Boss summoned the guardian of hell tower, the demon king.]
The crowd applauded hyped up by the game's turning point but not for the team doing the game promotion, this situation wasn't a part of their tutorial!
The Demon King immediately went on attacked mode and instantly killed 3 players including Saeki's avatar 'General looter'.
There's a 30-second cooldown for players who died to respawn but oddly enough, the demon king seemed to be lying in wait, killing the players again.
"Isn't this too overpowered?"
"You think there's some server error?"
Several people started noticing the abnormality whilst others think it's just a ploy to boost the games online audiences.
Saeki removed his headset to avoid being heard, how mortifying for him, the prince of entertainment to have his avatar killed 3 times in a row now!
"Who the f*ck is pulling a prank out there?! this demon king shouldn't have shown till the official battle between teams!"
The staff present were also unaware of the sudden change, they can only pretend that nothing's wrong otherwise it will affect the game.
Yeri tilted her head also perplexed, the rest of her team had already died more than once except her, and somehow this demon king NPC is only raising his defence without attacking her back.
"It's been a while, Shin, Tristan..." Junho Silas the game's executive in charge greeted.
