14 Increase Spirit for Free - 101

When Emily came out of her room to take a break from her acting practice, she couldn't help but be completely captivated by the delicious smell floating out of the kitchen. She saw a very tired looking Oliver completely focusing on stirring something in a pan.

Oliver spotted her soon enough. He gave a wide, but tired grin, and said, "Dinner's almost ready! Could you please set the table? Only for two people though, Lena usually has her dinner in her study."

They say that humans look best when they are completely focused on doing something.

'He didn't notice me checking him out right? Surely not, I mean I moved my eyes up as soon as he smiled. Yes….yes he totally didn't notice.' Emily had almost jumped out of her skin due to a guilty conscience, but she was an actress in training after all. She was able to cover her flaws very quickly.

With a small mutter of yes she hastily started setting the table.

....

*Meanwhile on the other side of the city*

Romano, along with five of his best men, was enjoying some red wine in an ordinary looking black sedan.

The car was currently parked in one of the less frequented areas of a middle-class residential area.

"Boss, our target is approaching."

Romano carefully observed the young brunette walking towards his car. As soon as she was close enough he said, "Begin."

Five muscular guys with black masks over their face exited the car with surprising agility and quickly surrounded the brunette.

The surprise was clearly written on the brunette's face due to the sudden turn of events.

"Who…who are you guys? What do you want?"

Even though the girl looked meek and scared, just by her body posture anyone experienced enough could tell that she was going to struggle to the end.

And all five of the men had experience in violence in spades.

One of them clicked his tongue twice and immediately all of them pulled out their pistols and pointed it at the girl.

"Get in the car. Our boss wants to meet you." A hoarse voice sounded from the man who had clicked his tongue twice.

The brunette immediately put her hands in the air and said, "Hey calm down guys! I will follow you. No need to be so serious about it."

"Don't stall for time. I will count to three. Get in the car!"

'I really can't think of a good way to escape alive from these people. These assholes aren't joking, they straight up pulled their guns on me. Damn! Why the fuck does someone wants to meet me so much. Wait…it can't be! Did they find any clue from one of the bodies? But that can't be true..'

The girl boarded the car without much resistance.

Romano was eagerly waiting for her. He gave her a warm smile.

"Miss Brittany I am truly sorry for the rude behaviour of my men. Would you like some wine to calm down your nerves?"

Brittany just returned a quite glare.

Romano took a moment to observe her under the car's interior lights. He gave a sigh.

"Such a pity. I don't know what you did to make that monster angry, but I suggest that you should fully enjoy your remaining life....because it is pitifully short."

...

It was slightly raining outside. But the increasing black clouds in the sky suggested the arrival of an even intense downpour.

"Hey mom, listen to me! I know I shouldn't have kept Emily and Ashely a secret. And I'm really sorry about that! I just didn't know them too well because I started living with them out of pure coincidence. I remember your warnings about not bringing unknown girls to my home, so I didn't want to make you angry. But both of them really needed my help and I couldn't say no because that's how you raised me to be."

Oliver lightly took her hands and gave them a small kiss.

"My sweet, kind, and forgiving mother you look beautiful when you are angry, but you look even more beautiful when you smile. Please smile for me!! I have an idea. How about you go downstairs, talk to them, get to know each other and stuff. I will go out and get some of your favourite dumplings. We can all have a nice lunch together. It will be so awesome!"

NO! YOU FOOL, DON'T GO!

The frown on Lena's face had lessened considerably.

"Sigh, okay you win. But you are not completely off the hook. Hmph!"

Oliver gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and ran out of the house to buy her favourite food form her favourite restaurant.

As it was still slightly before noon so there weren't many guests in the restaurant and Oliver was able to get the take-out very quickly.

HURRY! HURRY! MOTHERFUCKER HURRY BACK HOME! PLEASEE!

Twenty minutes of more boring driving and Oliver could see Lena's house in the distance again.

He saw those black smokes rising leisurely into a rainy sky again.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

With a loud shout, Oliver roll-jumped out of his bed. He landed on the floor with a loud thud.

>

"Fuck fucks fuck fuck, I will really torture her to death. But that's not enough. I need to make my loved ones stronger so that they at least run away if there is ever a need to. Yes, I need to do that. Yes yes."

'Calm down, Oliver. You can do this! You will keep them alive and happy.'

After somehow calming himself down Oliver quickly freshened up in the bathroom.

...'What time is it Grace?'

>

'Hmm, I woke up quite late. Is this the side effect of exhausting my spirit? Although I do feel quite refreshed even after such a horrible nightmare. Seems like the effect of spirit is quite profound on my body.'

>

'Wow, a lot happened huh.'

Oliver quickly opened his status menu and indeed he noticed that his spirit had increased by 0.2 points. It was 2.2 right now. Although it was pitifully low compared to his other stats, it still made him happy because he had found an SVP-free way to increase his spirit.

'Now, let's get some serious stuff take care of.'

>

'Wait! There's more?'

>

'Grace I know that you usually don't joke, but I really hope you are doing it right now.'

>

'Sigh, forget about it, she must have thought of it as some friendly skinship between a mother and her child. Oliver, don't think about her sweet and full lips. Don't think about her pert bottom, and definitely don't think about her sexy little feet. Yeah, don't think......'
