Free Web NovelChapter 50: The Grandmaster Reward
Mia buried her face in the pillow, too embarrassed to look directly at Lucas.
Her cheeks were still burning.
Every time she thought about what had just happened, her heart began racing all over again.
This was the first time she had ever felt such overwhelming emotions, and she didn’t know how to handle them.
The room was in complete disarray.
The bed sheets were wrinkled beyond recognition, and even the blanket had ended up on the floor.
Lucas couldn’t help but laugh.
"Looks like we won’t be sleeping on this tonight."
Mia immediately pulled the blanket over her face.
"Don’t say it!"
Seeing her embarrassed reaction, Lucas laughed even harder.
A few minutes later, he called room service and requested fresh bedding.
The hotel staff worked efficiently.
Before long, new sheets, blankets, and pillows arrived.
Meanwhile, Mia had escaped into the bathroom.
The sound of running water echoed softly through the suite.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her reflection.
Her face was still red.
No matter how much cold water she splashed onto her cheeks, the warmth refused to disappear.
She lowered her head shyly.
Everything felt unreal.
Just a few months ago, Lucas had been an ordinary student.
Now he had completely changed her life.
And somehow, without realizing it, he had become one of the most important people in her heart.
Outside the bathroom, Lucas sat quietly on the edge of the bed waiting.
Ten minutes passed.
Then fifteen.
Yet Mia still hadn’t come out.
Lucas smiled helplessly.
He walked over and knocked lightly on the door.
"Mia?"
No response.
"Mia, are you planning to stay in there all night?"
Finally, a small voice came from inside.
"...Maybe."
Lucas couldn’t help laughing.
After a few moments of gentle persuasion, the bathroom door slowly opened.
Mia stepped out shyly, refusing to meet his eyes. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The sight made Lucas smile.
Without the livestream filters, makeup, or cameras, she looked even more beautiful.
More real.
More genuine.
Taking her hand, he guided her back toward the bed.
This time, neither of them spoke much.
The earlier excitement had gradually faded, replaced by a comfortable warmth.
The room became quiet.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights illuminated the night sky.
Inside the room, Mia rested her head against Lucas’s shoulder.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing your first intimate relationship!]
[Goddess Gift Pack is being distributed...]
[Ding! Congratulations! Host’s maximum rebate limit has increased to $100,000,000!]
[Reward Acquired: Grandmaster Martial Arts Cultivation]
The moment the notification sounded, Lucas’s entire body trembled.
A terrifying surge of energy suddenly erupted from deep within him.
Unlike the enhancement from the Triple Soldier Physique, this power was on an entirely different level.
It flooded every muscle.
Lucas felt as though an invisible force was continuously tempering his body.
His senses sharpened dramatically.
His hearing became clearer.
His vision became sharper.
Even the flow of air around him seemed easier to perceive.
At that moment, Lucas felt as if he could crush steel with his bare hands.
An indescribable confidence filled his heart.
The power of a Grandmaster.
At the same time, his temperament underwent another transformation.
His already handsome appearance seemed to gain an even greater sense of mystery and attraction.
There was now an invisible aura surrounding him.
The kind of presence that naturally drew people’s attention wherever he went.
Lucas slowly clenched his fist.
The explosive power hidden beneath his skin shocked even him.
"If this is Grandmaster-level strength..."
"Just how powerful are the realms above it?"
A look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
The world Xavier had described suddenly seemed much larger than before.
After calming down, Lucas glanced toward the sleeping beauty beside him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Then another thought struck him.
The rebate limit.
Immediately, he picked up his phone.
Without hesitation, Lucas transferred $100,000,000 directly into Mia’s private account.
The transfer had barely been completed before the familiar system notification appeared.
[Ding! Congratulations!]
[Host has received a 100x rebate!]
[$10,000,000,000 deposited successfully!]
Lucas stared at the notification.
Even though he had expected it...
His heartbeat still accelerated.
Ten billion dollars.
Just like that.
At this point, money had completely lost its meaning to him.
Whether it was one hundred million or ten billion, both numbers were already far beyond what a normal person could spend in several lifetimes.
Lucas suddenly laughed.
A few days ago, he was dumped from being broke.
Now he was casually creating billion-dollar transactions.
Life truly was unpredictable.
After getting dressed, Lucas walked onto the balcony alone.
The evening sky stretched endlessly above Silvermont.
Countless neon lights illuminated the city below.
Traffic flowed endlessly through the streets.
The entire city glittered like a sea of stars.
Lucas lit a cigarette and quietly looked into the distance.
He had already stepped into the Grandmaster Realm.
People like Xavier treated him as an honored guest.
It almost felt as though he had reached the peak overnight.
After taking a few final puffs, Lucas flicked the cigarette into the ashtray and returned to the room.
The room was quiet.
Mia was sleeping peacefully beneath the blanket.
Her long hair was spread across the pillow, and the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains made her already beautiful face look even more breathtaking.
Lucas stood beside the bed for a moment.
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
No matter how many beautiful women he might meet in the future, Mia would always be special.
After all, she was the first woman who had truly become his.
With that thought, Lucas lay down beside her.
Feeling the warmth of her body next to his, he slowly closed his eyes.
Before long, he drifted into a deep sleep.
When Lucas woke up the next morning, sunlight had already filled the room.
The first thing he saw was Mia staring at him.
The moment their eyes met, Mia panicked.
She immediately shut her eyes and pretended to still be asleep.
Lucas almost laughed.
This girl was far too obvious.
"Mia."
"You know I saw that, right?"
Hearing his voice, Mia’s eyelashes trembled.
A few seconds later, she slowly opened her eyes again.
Her face was completely red.
She looked so embarrassed that she wished she could bury herself under the blanket forever.
Lucas couldn’t help teasing her.
"Why are you still acting shy?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"It’s not like this is the first time you’ve seen me."
Mia immediately punched his chest lightly.
"You’re so annoying."
Her voice was soft and filled with embarrassment.
Then she suddenly remembered something important.
Her expression changed.
"Lucas..."
"Hmm?"
"I can’t get up."
Lucas looked confused.
"Why not?"
Mia’s face instantly became even redder.
She grabbed the blanket tightly and lowered her head.
"I don’t have any clothes."
Lucas froze briefly.
Then he remembered.
Last night had been far more intense than he originally expected.
Mia’s clothes was all soaked up.
Realizing what she meant, Lucas suddenly laughed.
"It’s fine."
"There are only two of us in this room anyway."
"It doesn’t matter whether you wear anything or not."
"I promise I won’t laugh."
Mia immediately grabbed a pillow and smacked him.
"Lucas!"
"You’re horrible!"
Seeing her embarrassed reaction, Lucas laughed even harder.
Mia pouted angrily.
"Stop laughing."
"I still have classes later."
"Hurry up and think of a solution."
Only then did Lucas stop teasing her.
Looking at Mia hiding beneath the blanket like a frightened rabbit, he shook his head helplessly before reaching for his phone.
"Fine."
"I’ll get someone to bring you new clothes."
Only then did Mia finally breathe a sigh of relief.
