That was why, in this game of Punklorde, she preferred being an NPC shopkeeper; otherwise, she might accidentally get too deeply involved.
People like them couldn’t afford to get involved.
“Oh my, A-Yun, you’ve been shunned by our daughter, haven’t you?
Do you need a comforting hug from me?”
“It’s free of charge.”
Nihilux generously opened her arms, and her womanly bosom was truly quite alluring, but…
“…”
Stark sighed helplessly.
Now was not the time for snide remarks.
He didn’t have an omniscient perspective, so if she knew something, she should just say it.
“You have to figure it out yourself.
Cheating isn’t fun, and be careful, or Aha might ban your account.”
“Would Aha bother with me?”
“…”
“Great Ms.
Xu Zhao, I only have you!”
The man made a gesture to grab Nihilux’s hand but stopped in front of her, putting on a pitiful expression.
His eyes were so soulful that even a stray dog would fall for it…
Seriously, why is a grown man acting so cute!
Nihilux’s mouth twitched.
“…Fine, fine.
Seeing you look so pathetic, I’ll give you a little hint.”
“She’s jealous.”
“Jealous?”
Stark was confused.
Jealous of whom?
He spent almost twenty-four hours a day with Wolf Cub; except for bathing and using the restroom, he was either holding her hand or hugging her…
Could it be that kid, Willis?
But he only looked after those scavenger orphans in passing.
After all, if they were willing to change, Stark could offer some help within his capabilities.
He just smiled at that group of lads occasionally and gave them a few pointers.
That shouldn’t be enough to cause jealousy, right?
Is Wolf Cub really that possessive?
“…”
Nihilux’s expression gradually became speechless.
He was usually a smart enough person, so why, when it came to himself, was he so oblivious and foolish?
There were only two women in the house in total…
She couldn’t say any more.
Otherwise, it would be no fun, and the fact that Stark didn’t even consider her as a possibility made Nihilux feel a little annoyed.
And yet he stole glances at her all the time…
Could it be that he was just purely lecherous?
That was a very high possibility.
Nihilux decided to say no more.
Let’s treat it as punishment for him not understanding his daughter’s thoughts.
After all, what’s the difference between a daughter and a lover?
There were plenty of them competing with their biological mothers for their fathers.
Besides…
Silver Wolf was a girl who had lacked love since childhood, wasn’t she?
However, she still patted Stark on the shoulder like a good buddy, laughed heartily, and winked at him.
“The manuscript will be finished tonight.
You’ve done well.
I’ll reward you with a lap pillow.
Seeing you so upset, I suppose I could let you lie down for a while longer…”
“Oh…”
Stark nodded, distracted.
“Wait…
can’t you give me more of a reaction?
Say something.”
“Either is fine…”
“Hey, that really hurts my self-esteem!”
Nihilux felt like she was being given the cold shoulder.
She looked at the lolicon and daughter-obsessed man in front of her with disdain.
Was her allure really not as good as that Wolf Cub’s…
That was too embarrassing, wasn’t it?
Wait, was this guy actually Silver Wolf’s biological father?
Did Aha kidnap someone’s daughter from somewhere, and he had been chasing after them the whole way?
Silver hair, blue eyes…
Come to think of it, the more she looked, the more they resembled each other.
So, who was the child’s mother?
“You care that much?”
“Nihilux, I just think that if you love a wolf, you should always love only that wolf.
Wolf Cub is so cute, Wolf Cub is so small, so delicate, so cute…
How could there be such a perfect daughter as Wolf Cub in this world!”
“Alright, drop dead, you lolicon…”
Basement, Arcade.
Silver Wolf was also absent-mindedly fiddling with the joystick.
It had been two or three months since she obtained the game cartridge, and she had successfully reached Lv6…
Her physique and stats had improved significantly.
At this rate, reaching Lv99 was probably just a matter of time.
A cheated life is just different.
All of this was thanks to Stark.
That’s right, all of it was the change that man had brought to her.
But just now, she had…
“Ahhh!”
“Take this, take this, die!”
On the screen, the character Silver Wolf was controlling unleashed a frenzy of attacks on the opponent, quickly getting a K.O.
She was panting, feeling quite frantic, pounding on the buttons…
“Uh, Sister Wolf, are you okay?”
Willis, sitting on the other side, shivered in fear and observed cautiously.
Silver Wolf’s eyes had been red when she came downstairs earlier.
Consequently, the atmosphere in the entire Arcade became heavy.
“Sister Wolf?”
“I’m fine, continue!”
Willis jumped, not daring to refuse, until Silver Wolf was once again immersed in the game and her mood had slightly calmed down.
Only then did he tentatively guess.
“Did Sister Wolf and Uncle Yun have an argument?”
“No…”
How could that be called an argument!
Silver Wolf gritted her teeth, slumped in front of the game console, holding back words in her chest.
After a long while, she turned her head, exposing only her eyes from the crook of her arm, and repeated again.
“We didn’t have an argument!”
“…”
Willis scratched his head.
If they didn’t argue, why was she like this?
He found it hard to imagine Stark criticizing or lecturing Silver Wolf.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t like Stark.
He was clumsy with words…
Even though Silver Wolf clearly didn’t look happy, he didn’t know how to comfort her.
He just instinctively pressed his hand on the joystick and muttered a sentence.
“Brother Yun is a good person…
don’t be angry at him.”
“…” This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Silver Wolf buried her head back down, her little mouth slightly puffed up as if she had been wronged again.
Didn’t she know Stark was a good person?
Did she need an outsider to tell her that?
Why…
does everyone defend him!
She didn’t want others to defend him.
Hmm, no, why did she have such a strange thought?
Today, Silver Wolf was a melancholy little girl.
She stood up abruptly…
“I’m going back to sleep.
Watch the place for me.”
“Thanks!”
“…Oh, oh, walk safely, Sister Wolf.”
Actually, the Arcade didn’t need anyone to watch the place, but Silver Wolf seemed to have treated this place as her own home; it was her small territory…
Now, the master of the territory was going to rest.
The head steward, Willis, came online.
He scratched his head again, feeling somewhat at a loss.
It seemed he had messed things up.
Silver Wolf had crawled into her little nest.
Stark came down from upstairs.
“Where’s Wolf Cub?”
“She…
she went to sleep, Uncle Yun.”
“Ah…
she really is angry at me…
Did she say anything to you guys?”
Willis clumsily repeated that line, saying they hadn’t argued…
Stark kept muttering it over and over, unable to help but laugh.
“Indeed, no argument.”
“Such a tsundere…”
He lowered his eyes, as if he could imagine Silver Wolf’s little expression.
It was a pity he couldn’t see it for himself.
How long would Wolfie refuse to let him touch her, intentionally distancing herself?
He was already starting to feel lonely.
“By the way, kid, how is business lately?”
Willis perked up.
“There are more and more people.
Those mobile phones, water heaters, and toys that you fixed, Brother Yun, are all selling very well…”
“We collect them ourselves and sell them ourselves.
We can make a lot of money just by flipping them.”
He smiled sincerely, although everything wasn’t as smooth as he made it sound.
Some things were sold with the help of the orphans.
Naturally, there would be people who wanted to skim some money off the top…
Selling items at a high price instead of the original low price and pocketing the difference—that was the essence of human greed.
Furthermore, it seemed they had recently been noticed by some factions.
This made Willis feel somewhat uneasy.
He looked up, about to explain, but noticed that Stark’s gaze remained fixed on that door to the storage room.
Perhaps tonight wasn’t a good time to talk about it?
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.
Uncle Yun, you go ahead and get busy.
Um…
good luck.”
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
