Chapter 192: - Making it Up to Loli-
About eight minutes since their encounter, Lily accompanied him towards the exit.
After making several turns through the maze of a hallway, a dead end finally appeared in view.
"This is so fun. I remember when I first came here, I had to always exercise my brain, memorising each hallway or find a mark point at each intersection. It's said that some students chose staying in the dorm because they couldn't find their way to the exit."
With their destination in sight, Lily quickly created a conversation between them after being awkwardly silent for the past minutes.
Finding sense in her word though, Max realized why the base was a maze.
'A constant brain exercise? Such a genius way to teach.'
Nodding, Max noticed Lily had come to a sudden halt.
Since they were so close to the exit, there were no passersby in this hallway. Those in sight were more than twenty metres away.
"Hum…" she began with a hesitant, shy look.
"About the video…" avoiding his eyes with a fierce blush staining her cheeks, she bit her lips and continued.
"I showed it to my friends and they didn't believe me. I tried reaching you since then but got no response."
Appearing confused at first as to what she meant, Max suddenly remembered the details of what he had done on that day.
He left the recording of his back while slamming into the sports instructor, deleting other recordings and pictures she had taken of them. He handed her his stargram ID after but never replied to the unknown text he received.
"... I was busy."
In an attempt to brush his guilty thoughts, Max gave a random excuse.
"Hmmm–. You aren't even going to appear apologetic?"
Pursing her lips to a saddened smile, she cutely stared at him.
Raising his brows at this act, Max felt that her expression was too mischievous.
In order to dismiss the awkwardness, he gave a quick solution that he almost regretted.
"I'll make it up to you–"
By the time he realised that he had spoken out of character, the words already flew out of his mouth.
"Yes."
Lily smiled, the edge of her lips stretched to the limit like she won a jackpot.
Seeing her expression, Max felt that there was much to it than she let on.
'Have I been tricked?' Realizing how cute she looked, Max felt a little bit cold.
"Good."
Finished relishing in the joy of his response, she took an excited step backward, her cheeks flushed to the brim that it looked like a fresh tomato.
Clearly, there was something to say that she seemed deeply shy to speak.
However, her smile popped.
"In order for my friends to believe, please let's re-create the video."
Like a gun that had to unload all of its bullets, leaving nothing but an empty barrel, she froze, staring at him with widened eyes.
'Ehn?'
Stunned, Max inwardly revised her sentence in his head.
'In order for my friends to believe, please let's re-create the video.'
'Let's?'
'Is she inferring that I should fuck her like I did then?'
'Crazy.'
Max's eyes roamed the loli before him, settling on her flat chest then measuring her petite figure.
'Right, she said she's sixteen.'
Seeing Max cast his doubtful eyes over her, her cheeks flushed once more.
"What are you thinking? I wouldn't be in high school if I wasn't of age." Clenching her fist, she said defiantly, which made Max nod.
"Okay." After giving it a few seconds' thought, Max nodded.
"Really?"
Surprised, she appeared taken aback that he agreed. After all, no one could bear having sexual thoughts towards her due to her frame and flat chest.
"Uh? Should I reconsider?"
Sensing her doubtful feelings towards him, Max raised his brows.
"Ah, no."
Fluttered, she quickly responded and blushed deeply after that.
"Let's- let's do it in my dorm room at night," she said, avoiding his eyes.
"Okay, sure. But I haven't settled in, I'll let you know when I decide to take sleep here," Max said in a reassuring tone.
"Okay." Breathing a sigh of relief, Lily smiled.
Staring at her loli frame, Max couldn't help but visualise the obscene of having her pinned to the wall while moaning with her little frail voice.
"That's the exit, it takes you up, inside the building above, the security guards will come and hand over your car keys."
"Oh, cool then." With a silent nod, Max turned and walked towards the dead end.
In this span of seconds, he felt her gaze focused on his back.
Reaching the end, Max studied the wall and spotted a silver button. Pressing it, he heard a faint hiss as a thin slit appeared. The white panels began to slide open, revealing the interior as a massive elevator—wide enough to hold thirty people without feeling cramped.
Resembling more of a shaft, with built-in seats lining all sides, Max couldn't help but feel exaggerated that he was the only one using it.
Stepping in–
"Bye!" Lily called out, waving her hands at him.
Nodding at her gesture, the doors closed.
Following that, a loud hissing sound could be heard and the elevator hummed silently as it rose.
'Well, not everything has been solved by advanced technology it seems.'
In response to discomfort, which unlike the elevator he used today, Max sat down and relished the vibration.
Two minutes or so passed until the elevator came to a stop. The doors parted open, presenting an empty spacious space that seemed like a hall.
Illuminating the space were sunrays that seeped through the glass.
At this sight, Max couldn't help but feel a slight sense of déjà vu.
'Feels like I have been out of reach from the sun for a month. Is it because I went so deep underground?' Max thought, confirming what the emotions he felt were.
His eyes scanned the hall and found the doors towards the opposite end.
'A good camouflage.'
Walking out of the decoy building, speculated to be where the Elites studied, he found his car just right outside with the same security officer as when he arrived on standby next to it.
"Thanks."
Max muttered as he collected his key, driving off a few minutes later.
'12pm? I still have time.'
Glancing at his watch, Max took off his shirt preparing to go for another round of intense deadlifting for a normal human until his phone rang.
"Zzz! Zzz!"
