Fate Online: Shadow

"They've only known each other for only a day back then, but they are already this close. Women sure have some scary traits"

While both men are just stupidly standing there by themselves, the feast around them is already reaching its climax, with male players drinking beer and all, and some of them are even flirting with some of the single female NPCs in the village.

And the female players who attended the feast just looked at their fellow players with disgust as they chattered amongst themselves.

"Men sure are men"

"Yeah, they are all the same, when they are hard, then they're hard, they won't even consider the people around them especially when their drunk"

"But not all men are the same though, look at Maverick, he's so cool!"

"He's just standing there, cooly drinking his beer in a cool way!"

"But I think Shadow looks better, it's a pity he already has a girlfriend though"

"My god, he...is..so hot and awesome! So much unlike his rough-looking friend who has a stupid ass name called Cereal Killer"

"Right!? Like who the heck have names like that? I really wonder what our beautiful guild leader saw in him"

"Miya, what about you? What do you think about Shadow?"

Miya was startled when the female hunter suddenly turned towards her and asked her a question.

"Uhh, he's cool I guess" Miya just shrugged her shoulders as she didn't care anymore. In fact, she had already long given up on Michael seeing how much he cares about Solitary Tempest, and she's not that kind of a woman who would try to destroy a beautiful relationship because of her desires.

After all, she is a woman with pride and dignity, and she wouldn't stoop so low as stealing someone else's man.

"Uhh, okay" the female hunter suddenly doesn't know what to say and just excused herself along with her friends.

"Kyaa! She's so cool! Did you guys see that!?"

"If only she was born a man! God, our Miya is so damn cool!"

"Ha..ha..ha" Miya could only laugh dryly to herself.

In fact, Miya is actually really popular among the female members in their guild, and she knew the reason behind it.

It was because she has this manly side of hers that would just come out of the blue, which some people would mistake her as some sort of a lesbian to the people who don't really know much about her.

"God, when can I find a man who will truly care for me and love me?"

Miya sighed to herself as she just sat there and tried to enjoy the sight of the festivity in front of her.

Meanwhile.

"Big brother! Come with me and dance!"

While Dylan and Michael were talking with each other, the voice of little kid suddenly sounded from beside them as Michael felt two little hands grabbing his hand, trying to pull him up.

Michael turned his head and saw Mara pulling at him, trying to make him get up from his seat.

"Go, didn't you say you're the Lord here? Don't be such a bore now" Dylan suddenly nudged him with a huge smile on his face.

"But I'm not good at dealing with kids" Michael whispered in annoyance.

"Big bro, get up!" Mara still kept pulling him, not having a single clue about his distress.

Dylan suddenly had a deadpan expression on his face and said, "You're not gonna perform in front of the kids, asshole. Go out there and show the people here who's the boss"

"You're annoying as ever" Michael growled at him, but in the end, he still followed Mara behind her as the little kid excitedly pulled him with her.

"The lord is here!"

"UOHHH!"

"Let's have some fun tonight my lord!"

*****

"So you're also heading out tonight?"

The voice of Amanda sounded from the other side of the phone call.

"Yeah, I and Dylan are just gonna have some drinks tonight," Michael said with his phone stuck between his ear and shoulder as he busied himself with putting his pants on.

"Okay, make sure you go home early then," replied Amanda.

Michael couldn't but laughed and said, "Hey, shouldn't I be the one saying those words to you?"

"..."

"Just make sure to get home early and not wander around after you two are done drinking, okay?"

Michael didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her sudden sternness that he just replied, "Okay, that goes the same for you too"

After that, Michael and Amanda said their goodbyes and hang up the call.

Michael wasn't in a hurry to change as he took his time to fix himself, and after that, he made his way out of his room and into the living room where his old man quickly noticed him.

"You're going out again brat?" Tom said while switching the channels on the TV.

Michael just rolled his eyes at him and said, "What do you mean again? I rarely go out, and besides, I'm hanging out with Dylan tonight, our ladies are also busy with their own matters"

"Anyway, where's mom? I've never seen her all day"

"She's at the gym, she'll be home later" Tom simply said, then ignored him.

Michael shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then don't forget to tell her that I'm hanging out with Dylan, old man"

Near the front door, Michael quickly took a particular car key from the key rack.

"Old man, I'm borrowing your car!"

"What!? Come back here, you brat!"

Tom tried to stop Michael as he hurriedly stood up from the sofa, but sadly for him, the latter already disappeared from the door.

"Brat! You better make sure that it doesn't come home with scratches!"

Michael didn't hear what Tom said as he was already on the way down to the parking lot through the elevator.

"This is really a nice looking car" Michael couldn't help tilt his head to the side as he gazed at the Black Ford GT in front of him.

"I better go, I don't want the old man coming down here and get the keys back from me"

Michael hurriedly went inside the car, started it, and quickly drove it out of the apartment building.
