Chương 596: 596 Brooooo!

Shen Yue noticed the state Liam was in and for a second, she did not know what to do. The person in front of her was pale and lifeless. Something felt wrong.

"Are you okay? Do you need some water? Shall I call the hospital?" She did not even know if he could hear her, but she could no longer simply watch.

She went closer to hold him and support him and grabbed a water bottle nearby to give him some water. At the same time, her other hand fished for her phone to call for the emergency.

However, before she could do that a hand shot forward and held her. Shen Yue turned to see Liam looking right at her blankly in a daze. He was no longer shaking or shivering that badly?

Umm…?

At the other end, Liam finally closed his eyes and tried to breathe. His cold and frozen body was slowly thawing. Heat emanated from the spot Shen Yue touched him.

The warmth from her hand was slowly spreading across his body and removing the frigidness.

A second later he was finally able to get a hold of his emotions. He still did not know what happened. Maybe it was a panic attack from the unusual nightmare? Or maybe…

He let out a deep breath and turned to sit properly on the bed. He then pulled Shen Yue closer to him and hugged her tightly. The woman was like a warm shelter on a cold freezing night.

He yanked her even closer, making her sit on his lap. Shen Yue was surprised at first but she crossed her legs, wrapping them around him, and hugged him back tightly.

She buried her face in his shoulder, taking in the familiar scent. All the anxiety, uneasiness, and worry she had been holding in for so long, finally broke loose and tears started spilling from her eyes.

Liam felt the wetness on his bare skin and sighed, "I am fine now. Don't worry. I am fine. Thank you." He gently stroked her head.

Shen Yue nodded silently but she didn't look up. She just hugged him tightly like she did not want to let him go. Her soft body clung to him.

Liam felt the long smooth legs lock around him and his hands moved on their own to caress her soft naked thighs. They were incredible to hold and touch and as he did, more heat started spreading.

In the flow, his hands started going further up, inside the short skirt that the woman was wearing. He felt part of her soft flesh, pinching them as he wished.

Shen Yue's body shuddered a little.

But she did not push him away. She only hugged him even tighter. Liam pulled her away to kiss her lips.

"Thank you for caring about me so much."

Shen Yue was completely caught off guard and was swept up by the kiss.

As if she suddenly realized something, she hurriedly pulled away buried in Liam's shoulder again, wiping her tears hastily. It seemed that she did not want to show her crying face.

"You look beautiful even if you are crying or smiling." Liam chuckled and patted her. He pulled the girl again and kissed her properly.

That was right. He had people he cared about. He would never become like that monster he witnessed in his nightmare. He would not lose his mind. He was chasing after power but that was to protect himself and the people he loved.

His body soon completely relaxed and his hands moved to remove the shirt that was holding him back. Shen Yue blushed furiously but she lifted her arms shyly.

She was not wearing a bra underneath so Liam could clearly see her enticing body and her curves.

"You look beautiful."

He held her waist and lifted her up to place the girl down on the bed. He tugged at the other piece of clothing that was hiding her and then did the thing that he should have done a long time ago.

…

…

…

"Bro! Bro! What happened? You went offline for six hours?" A loud voice sounded as the door once again sprung open. Rey stood at the door with his jaw on the ground.

He then quickly closed the door back but he had already caught a glimpse! There was someone else on his brother's bed! This was huge news!

He was grinning from ear to ear and quickly pretended as if he had never barged in. A few minutes later, a door opened and closed in a hurry. Rey saw someone speeding out of the apartment.

He snickered and quickly went back to Liam's room.

"Brooooo!"

Liam was silently sitting on the bed and gazing out the window before he looked at the person flashing a big shining smile and giving him a thumbs up. He shook his head helplessly.

"Did you finish the task I gave you?" He asked the guy without letting him ask the obvious next questions.

"Ahem." Rey immediately looked away and whistled.

"I am almost done, bro. Almost."

"Alright. Then I will update your sister about this, huh? I will tell Alex that you are almost done?"

"Bro. Bro. I am really almost done. Please don't tell her. I am logging back in right now." Rey disappeared even faster than Shen Yue running away from Liam's room.

And as soon as he left, Liam's expression changed. In the empty room, he sat down alone and a cold look appeared on his face. The nightmare that he had experienced was a wake-up call.

In fact, ever since he faced the tower master, this same thought plagued his mind.

He was strong now. There was no doubt about it. The him from the previous life could have never imagined obtaining this kind of power, but he had achieved it.

However… the cruel truth was that he was still nowhere as strong as the terrifying monsters that would descend on this world eventually.

Those were his real opponents now, not the weaklings that would appear at the beginning. The strength he had now was perhaps enough to deal with the first few waves but what about later?

And what if something unpredictable occurs and he had to face another supreme being like the tower master? Then he would once again be reduced to the same old weak helpless state.

No. That can never happen. He needed to change his strategies. From the last fight, this much was abundantly clear.

He needed to focus on the endgame. He needed to obtain more power. After all, he had died very early in his previous life. He did not want to think of what might have happened after his death. Maybe there were even stronger beings that came later after.

And to stand against these truly terrifying opponents, he needed to work on his strength more, the unique skill that he possessed, his soulmancer class.

As several plans started forming, his mind was now clearer than ever. He knew exactly what he had to do in this last phase.

Liam stood up and took a deep breath. It had really been a long time since he logged out. Maybe the next time he logged out, everything would be different.

He was engrossed in the plans for the last phase of the game and the future when he inhaled another deep breath of air and did some light stretching. His mind indeed felt sharper and clearer today.

And as for the reason…

Liam ruffled his hair, thinking if he had gone overboard earlier with Shen Yue.

"Should I go and check on her?" He did not want to make her feel awkward so he decided to talk with her later on.

He drank some water, took a few more deep breaths, and stepped into the game capsule. There was a lot to be done. Liam yawned and laid inside.

Just as his hand reached for the start button, he suddenly froze.

His eyes widened in shock and his mind spun dizzyingly. In fact, he looked paler than he had before.

He abruptly stood up, fumbling around, and stepped out of the game capsule without logging back in. He sat down on the bed, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath again.

Yes, this was it. There was no mistake. This was mana. There was already mana on earth. Just how could this be possible?
