Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Everyone is looking at each other and I'm just looking at them while crossing my arms. Ivonna looks at me and she leans toward me.

"Are you sure? I mean you can use this to clean your name, right?"

I shake my head.

"No, I don't think so. Just because I did it to prevent the war, that doesn't justify what I did to the people and to the players. I thought about it but I don't think it will be that easy for them to accept it if I'm the one who gives them the information and there will always be someone who will say that it's just a coincidence whatsoever, and it would only stir another problem, but if you and the others who use this, I think they all can accept it since you're all the one who protects and prevent big war."

Ivonna is concerned and crosses her arms.

"Are you really fine with this?"

I nod.

"Yeah, as long as it won't affect my real life, it won't be a problem since it doesn't bother me anyway. You know that this is the best decision we have and you know deep down it's better for you all to take all the credits."

Ivonna is just looking at me and sighs while smiling.

"Yeah, but I will not take it for free though. How about I will treat you to dinner tomorrow? Is that sound good to you?"

I tilt my head while raising my eyebrows.

"Is that a date? Well then, I will gladly accept it."

Ivonna is about to correct me but then she closes her mouth and just nods.

"I guess, yeah."

Kingstar and the others are looking at me. He raises his hand.

"Are you both done discussing something?"

We both look at him and nod. Kingstar nods with understanding and puts both of his hands on his knees.

"So, you're saying we just take all of these and take all the credits? I mean, I'm not going to complain, but what about you? We can mention your name and we can just say that you help us find this information."

I cross my arms and nod.

"I'm fine, you all don't have to do that. Let me be the villain in this story and you don't have to worry about it because I'm used to this. I think I'm more fit to be a villain than a hero, right?"

Kingstar, Queenstar, Lothair, and Diamond are looking at me and just shut their mouth while nodding in agreement. Ken is raising his hand while looking at me.

"But the real villain is Aspen, right? We should expose him and it will clear everything up, not just that, but we all can work together to hunt him down as Kingstar said earlier. Even if it's the Baltizar's descendant who planned all this, but Aspen was the one who triggered it, right? We need to stop him before everything is too late."

Everyone nods in agreement but I shake my head in disagreement.

"No, we don't want to waste this opportunity."

Ken is furrowing his forehead.

"What do you mean?"

I look at him and raise my eyebrows.

"He doesn't know that we know, and if you told the world about him and what he did, he would hide far away, and then we wouldn't be able to find him and Baltizar's descendant. Our priority is to take him down and defeat Balitzar's descendant, but it won't be possible if we confront them both publicly. We need to pretend that we don't know so he will show up later in the future, and when that time comes, we will take him and Baltizar's descendant down. We need to be careful about this because if we are not, then god knows what's going to happen to us. We need to be cautious and keep an eye on everything if it's necessary and we will make a move when the time is right."

Cho Ahn is nodding in agreement.

"That makes sense. So what you're trying to say is that you want to be the villain so the players and the people would stand together to fight against you since you don't want the world to know that the true villain is Aspen?"

I smile and nod.

"That's exactly it. My purpose is to make people stand together while all of us are preparing to take down Aspen and Baltizar's descendant."

Everyone is nodding and humming with understanding. I take a deep breath and exhale deeply.

"So? Is everyone agreed with my proposal?"

They're all looking at each other and they nod. Kingstar looks at me and nods.

"Yeah, we accept your proposal."

I clap my hands and smile.

"Great! Now everything is in your hands. Make every single one of the documents worth convincing everyone. It might be hard or it might be easy depending on how you use them, so use them carefully. I guess that's it, you all can get some rest because you all deserve it."

Everyone is nodding and yawning in agreement, then one by one is leaving the house and logging out from the game. It's only Ivonna and I left in the house. I look at her and raise my eyebrows.

"You're staying?"

Ivonna shakes her head while smiling.

"I'm waiting for you to log out."

I'm humming and nodding.

"Okay then, let's log out."

Ivonna nods and we both log out from the game.

I'm stretching my arms and everyone is already leaving the gaming room and going to their own room. I look at William's pod and he hasn't played the game for quite a long time now, I hope his exam went well so he can come and play with us again. Now that I think about it, I haven't had alone time with him, I guess I will have that later.

Ivonna is stretching her arms and cracking her neck.

"I'm so tired, can I use your bed because I don't want to walk that far..."

I'm chuckling and nodding.

"Yeah, sure go ahead. I'm going to check on William and see how's he doing right now."

Ivonna tilts her head.

"Right, he's in his exam week now, I hope he's doing alright. Anyway, I'm going to get some rest now."

I nod we both leave the gaming room then Ivonna lays down on the bed while I'm leaving the room to check on William.

I can hear everyone is laughing downstairs in the kitchen and right on time where William just got back from college. I walk downstairs while waving at him.

"How's the exam?"

William is exhausted and slouching in front of the door while removing the backpack.

"I'm so tired... I want to play!"

I'm scoffing and pat him on the shoulder.

"Want to drink tonight? It's on me."

William immediately stands straight and looks at me with a huge smile on his face.

"For real?! Man, I was thinking of something to make me feel relaxed tonight but now you want to treat me for a drink! I really love that, thank you!"

I shrug.

"I can tell that you need it, so don't mention it. Should we bring all the boys as well?"

William nods in excitement.

"Oh! Yeah, that would be awesome! I will tell them now!"

William runs toward the dining room and I can hear him telling the guys that I'm inviting them for a drink tonight, and I can also hear that they're all cheering in excitement after that. I walk toward the dining room and as soon as I enter the room they're all cheering while rising their glasses of water at me.

Emma is nodding up and looking at me.

"So you're all going to have a boy's night later?"

I'm nodding.

"Yeah, I'm doing it because William seems stressed out from the exam. So at least this is what I can do for him."

Emma is humming with understanding.

"Oh, have fun then!"

A few hours have passed and it's nighttime. I change my clothes while all the boys are waiting for me downstairs. I walk down the stairs and see Emma and all the ladies are with them and they're dressing quite nicely, I tilt my head and raise my eyebrows.

"Oh? Are you guys also want to have a lady's night?"

Emma is grinning while nodding.

"Of course! We haven't had a lady's night so I guess tonight is a perfect time since you're all going to have some fun out there."

I chuckle.

"Fair enough. Where are you guys going?"

Francesca shrugs.

"Maybe have some wine after dinner. Emma said that she knows a very beautiful place and so we are going to let her lead the way."

I nod with understanding.

"Nice... Have fun and be careful out there."

They all nod, then I look at the boys and nod up.

"Are you boys ready?"

Michael is wooing.

"Let's get wasted boys! Let's go!"

Everyone is chuckling and scoffing and then we all leave the mansion to have some fun.
