Chapter 97: Easier than expected
"Alright, Yeon, that's enough already. Can't you see that Yura is feeling upset?"
"Here, Yura, let me help you wipe off your tears." While speaking, Alan picked up a handkerchief from the table, then began wiping the tears from Yura's eyes.
In truth, the reason Alan allowed Yeon to speak for so long was because Alan saw that Yura's humiliation gauge was rising at a rather fast speed when Yeon was speaking to Yura, and thus, Alan wanted to see if Yura would actually end up providing him with humiliation points or not when Yura's humiliation gauge reached 100%.
After all, this time, Alan wasn't the main perpetrator who was causing the humiliation gauge to rise. However, if Alan was able to obtain humiliation points even if he wasn't the one who was mainly responsible for causing the humiliation gauge to rise, it would mean that there were going to be plenty of ways for Alan to obtain humiliation points in the future.
When Alan heard that he had obtained 100 humiliation points, and this time, the system message was different from what he had been hearing, whereby usually, the system would say something along the line of, "100 humiliation points have been obtained by humiliating Han Yura", but this time, the system merely said, "100 humiliation points have been obtained from Han Yura", Alan immediately knew that he was going to be able to earn humiliation points even more easier than he expected he would be able to.
After all, from the looks of things, he didn't have to be the one who was mainly contributing to the rise of a person's humiliation gauge in order to obtain humiliation points from that person.
So long as he was still a part of the reason that contributed to the rise of the humiliation gauge, no matter how small of a part he was in contributing to the humiliation gauge, if someone else was to cause the humiliation gauge of a certain person to rise, when that certain person's humiliation gauge reaches 100%, he would still be able to obtain humiliation points from that specific person, nonetheless.
After Yura's tears were wiped away by Alan, Yura looked at Alan while with a grateful look on her face, then said in a low voice, "Thanks… I'm sorry that you ended up having to witness such an embarrassing side of me…"
"But… Alan, you have to believe me, I'm really not the kind of person that Yeon is describing me to be…" Upon speaking up to here, Yura looked straight into Alan's eyes while with an unwavering and hopeful look on her face, hoping that Alan would believe in her instead of Yeon.
"Of course I believe in you." Without any hesitation, Alan said while patting gently onto Yura's head with his right hand.
And right after, with a stern look on his face, Alan looked over to Yeon, then said with a grave tone, "Yeon. Even if you are upset about the fact that Yura didn't have any interest on marrying you from the start, there's no need for you to slander and humiliate her like this."
"Here, I will give you a chance to make this right. Apologize to Yura."
Right as Yeon heard Alan told him to apologize to Yura, the sneer that was on Yeon's face immediately disappeared.
With a forced smile on his face, Yeon tried to defend himself, "Look, Alan, I admit I was being a little too much, but it is a fact that Yura is still my fiancé! For her to act so intimate with…"
"Alright, I'm not interested in listening to what you have to say. Even if you are upset, it is still a fact that you slandered and humiliated Yura. I will make this clear for you, either you apologize to Yura right now, or I will hand the phone over to the authorities. As for what phone I'm talking about, you should be aware about it, right?"
"…" Right after Alan finished speaking, Yeon lowered his head downward to the floor and clenched his fists tightly.
However, in the end, after a short while had passed, Yeon raised his head and looked over to Yura, then apologized to Yura while with a forced smile on his face, "Yura, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said just now."
After Yeon was done with his apology, Yeon immediately sat down on his seat and focused on eating the food that was on his plate instead.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! They better hope that I don't end up as a stronger adventurer than they are in the future, or else, I swear I will take my revenge on them!"
Yeon thought to himself while he ate his food.
Meanwhile, a surprised look appeared on Yura's face when she saw Yeon actually apologized to her.
And right after, seemingly to be feeling curious as to what Alan actually had on Yeon for Yeon to actually be willing to obey him, Yura looked over to Alan and asked with a curious look on her face, "Alan, what do you have on Yeon for Yeon to be willing to listen to you and apologize to me? The phone that you just threatened to hand over to the authority if Yeon doesn't listen to you, what is in that phone?"
"Well, that's something that you don't have to know about." Alan tapped lightly onto Yura's nose with his right index finger, then continued speaking, "Alright, look at your make-up, it's all ruined because of your tears. You should head to the restroom and fix up your make-up first. The rest of the food should be here too when you are back from fixing your make-up."
Upon hearing that her make-up was ruined because of her tears, Yura immediately let out a gasp as she took out a mirror from her purse to take a look at her own face.
And right after, after confirming that her make-up was indeed in a mess, Yura stood up from her seat, then said right before heading to the restroom, "Excuse me for a moment!"
Right as Yura stood up and began walking toward the private room's door, Alan looked over to Sharon, then said in a low voice, "Sharon, go on and accompany Yura to the restroom. I have some things to speak with Yeon about."
