Chapter 454


    All done.


    Without any more obstacles keeping her back, Charmine ran toward the basement. The basement had


    no window; there was only a dim yellow light on the wall. Robertid on the Japanese-styled tatami as


    he slept soundly. Charmine walked over and kicked him gently on the leg. “Wake up! Follow me!”


    Robert blearily opened his eyes with that, and he noticed it was Charmine, he frowned with confusion.


    “Why did youe?” “You’re going to starve to death if I hadn’te,” Charmine scoffed. “Follow me!”


    Robert remainedying on the ground. “I’m not leaving. I want to learn gaming with Uji Quin!”


    Upon Robert’s arrival to his mansion, Uji Quin told him that the most important aspect of gaming was


    one’s inner peace. One should not be disturbed by the outside world and that they should stay in a safe


    ce. A darker ce would be ideal. Robert was initially skeptical of that, but Uji Quin came down to


    his basement to perform a few battles in the game. He told Robert that he only found the ‘right feel’ of


    gaming in the basement when he first started.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Thus, throughout the days and nights, Robert tried to find that same ‘feel’ as he abstained from eating


    and drinking. He tried to find that ‘peace’ from within him. Robert was not sure if it was due to some


    psychological reasons, but his gaming ability had actually improved a lot! Why would he leave after he


    had gained such promising progress? Charmine knocked his head. “Do you think Uji Quin is teaching


    you? He worked with Tiffany to kidnap you, and Tiffany even used the photo of you in the basement to


    force Grandpa to give her his 30-percent shares! “It’s always been a plot when Tiffany set you up to


    learn from Uji Quin! Youing to Kansas broke our parents’ hearts, so they gave their shares to


    Tiffany!” Robert reeled in shock at that for a good moment, but he quickly argued, “Impossible! I don’t


    believe you! Tiffany’s not that kind of person!”


    “You’ll know once you get home. Follow me now. When Uji Quines back, we won’t be able to


    leave!” Charmine pulled him up.


    Robert swung her hand away. “I’m not leaving! What can I do when I get home? What’s the point of


    going back to a home with family members plotting against one another? You’re all plotting against


    each other, harming one another to get the shares! Even Tiffany, the only . person who loved me, had


    turned into someone I don’t even recognize. My home has nothing worth for me to go back for!


    “I get to learn about gaming here at least, to improve my skills. I’ll return someday and show


    every single one of you how a gamer can be sessful, too!” “Hah! Do you think you’ll be able to learn


    from Uji Quin? Do you think he can teach you?” Charmine scoffed coldly. “Oh, how arrogant! If I can’t


    teach him, can you?” A mocking voice was heard. Charmine frowned and turned to see Uji Quin


    walking down the stairs into the basement. 1 He was dressed in burgundy silk pajamas, his bare chest


    exposed. He gave one the impression of a typical wealthy man. Behind him were 100 bodyguards that


    blocked the entrance. 1 Was he not…at the nightclub? Why did he return so quickly? Uji Quin fiddled


    with the two jade beads in his hands as he condescendingly spoke, “What? Disappointed? You didn’t


    expect me toe back? I didn’t expect a woman like you could get past my system either. If I didn’t


    feel strange out of the blue and came home early to check, you would’ve brought him away.” Charmine


    red at him coldly. “Kidnapping is illegal. Are you trying to be a criminal with Tiffany?” “I don’t know


    what you mean.” Uji Quin looked at Robert. “Robert,e here, stand beside me. Tell Charmine: did I


    kidnap you?” “Yes, Master!” Robert nodded politely and walked toward Uji Quin.
