“Ahh! Why am I not angry at the fact that he rejected me? Instead, I want to be by his side even more! Is this what’s it like to have charming personality?!”

“Although he said he wouldn’t come meet me, his smile sure was enough to melt me. I don’t know what reason behind him not coming down, but whatever it is, I’ll accept it!”

“With that smile of his, I would worship him forever! I heard that he is having a protest against the property developers with this method. I mean, that building was built not too long ago, but only after two earthquakes, it’s slanted? The developers must have cut corners. Otherwise, how could such a problem even happen?”

“So he’s doing this for everyone’s sake? He’s so selfless! He should be a role model for my kids. Although I would never let my kids do something that dangerous, his dedication is worth learning from.”

Bruce listened to their discussion from upstairs and shook his head with a smile.

“Ding, congratulations to host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”

Bruce couldn’t believe his eyes — an additional 10 points — just like that?!

Awesome!

Absolutely awesome!

After analyzing the situation, Bruce knew what to do. No matter how many people were taking pictures of him, he had to keep a smile on at all times.

No one was allowed into the building but these people were like idolaters. They entered this dangerous building just for a signature. Luckily for Bruce, it was in line with his desire to earn more points!

Although he did not know how long this popularity would last, it was fine as long as he got what he wanted.

In a trance, he noticed a black figure in the crowd. Despite it being summer, the figure was dressed in black from head to toe. He even wore a pair of sunglasses.

This person was not following the crowd — he wasn’t shouting or cheering for Bruce. All he did was stare.

How strange —

Could it be..?

Knock Knock Knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It should be Aurora.

It seemed that this girl was determined to wait until he moved out.

“I went out to buy some grocery just now. I’ll cook in a while. You should start packing.”

“Today, I brought the other workers in the community and prepared for meeting with the developers. If everything goes well, the reconstruction will start in a few days. You can’t stay here when that time comes. Although I don’t know what you’re waiting for, it’s really not a good idea to keep staying here.”

As soon as the door opened, Aurora carried a few bags filled with snacks and some groceries. She spoke as she walked, as if it was urgent.

From her point of view, all the residents in the community were targeted people that she had to take care of, and this was the first time she had encountered a situation like Bruce’s. So she didn’t know what else to do.

She might as well tell Bruce everything that the community would do next, so that he could make his own judgement in case something out of control happened.

She knew very well that although Bruce seemed to be indifferent to many ways, — like not going out — he was not a bad person, and also a mage.

No one would be able to escape his hands if he were to use his powers.

So, Aurora would rather help Bruce first and negotiate with the developer later.

Fortunately, both parties were relatively stable, which made Aurora feel a lot more at ease.

Suddenly, Aurora realized a problem, “Is it because you weren’t able to find some place to stay?”

“If that’s the case… You can stay at my place…” as she said this, Aurora’s cheeks turned red. The thought of inviting someone — a male — to her own house made her slightly embarrassed.

But she knew that she invited him because she liked him and wanted to spend every day with him.

This was love!

Bruce was still a little stunned.

‘Go to your house?!’

Such a direct invitation, there was no need to say anything else. It seemed that he had made preparations before saying this.

“I have a place,” Bruce said indifferently. Aurora was shocked. She proceeded to nod and didn’t say anything else.

“However, after I move, you can come whenever you want. You’re welcome at any time,” Bruce added.

Once again, Aurora was shocked. She turned her head and smiled.

“Yes, of course I’ll visit. Who else would cook for you?!” Aurora said happily as she continued to cook.

At this moment, Bruce was standing by the window.

In less than ten minutes, he received a total of 10 points. An hour was 60 points. The people downstairs had stood for at least two hours.

But they didn’t always call for him, so he only received a total of 70 points.

What change?!

A magnitude-7 earthquake gave him at least 5 points. Just by standing for a while, he could get 70 points. Not only was it a safer way of earning points, the reward was several-folds more than a C-rank house-leaving crisis.

This was the happiest moment for Bruce!

Soon, Aurora had finished cooking. After the two of them ate, Aurora openly walked downstairs.

“It’s Aurora, the creator of Flame Man! I’ve seen his photos in their community center. She must be looking for Bruce to continue the story of Flame Man!”

“I’m going to faint. I got to meet both of them today, I’m really excited. Quick, go and ask if it’s going to be a series.”

Aurora could only respond with a smile to that encounter. Then, she said, “I’m sorry. I haven’t thought about making it a series yet. I’m a community worker. What I need to do now is to negotiate with the developers. You’ve all seen the problem with this building. It has been seriously damaged, and Bruce is still living in the building to demonstrate the danger. There are 85 households who are like him. I have to give them an explanation.”

As Aurora spoke, the crowd became a little mad.

They also had houses. The thing they were most afraid of was meeting irresponsible developers who would hide away after getting the money.

The houses were bought with the hardship of the people.

But as soon as something terrible happened, the developers were immediately out of sight.

Now that they saw Bruce and Aurora’s attitude towards the matter, a wave of emotions stirred up within the crowd.

“We’ll to go too! We deserve justice and an explanation!”

“Let’s support Aurora!”
