Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 469

After Rose returned to her rented room, she plopped herself onto the bed, sighing once in a while.

Josephine was putting on a beauty mask and felt confused when she heard those repeated sighs.

"What's the matter?" Josephine asked.

Rose depressingly said, "Today, I met someone who said I was ugly."

Immediately, Josephine peeled off the beauty mask and bellowed, "Who said so? Let me tear up her mouth."

"A young girl."

"How rude!" Josephine spat.

"Children's words mean no harm.'

Josephine looked at Rose who was depressed and comforted. "Since you know that children's words mean no harm, then why are you still sulking?"

Sitting up, she gloomily said, "Josephine, I think I saw your big brother today."

Josephine's mouth was agape in shock. "Maybe it was a coincidence?"

"Twice in a day?" Rose lifted two fingers.

"Did my brother recognize you?" Josephine had a bad

feeling about this when she saw how dispirited Rose looked.

Rose cried out, "Josephine, he didn't recognize me."

Josephine,

She took a packet of tissues and handed it to Rose. " Cry your heart out. There are plenty of tissues."

Once Rose was done crying, Josephine was done playing a round of a game that had similar gameplay to Wild Rift.

She turned her head around to look at Rose. "It's normal for my brother to not recognize you. Look at you, you're wearing a huge mask and have huge spectacles on. You could almost wrap yourself up into a present. It'd be weird if he could recognize you."

Rose was quick to see the silver lining. "This is good. I can go out as I please in the future."

Josephine was in awe of Rose's will that was as strong as an unbeatable cockroach. "It's hard to not like your optimistic personality."

Rose looked at the game on the computer screen and curiously asked, "Why are you addicted to this game?"

"I'm planning to earn some money by playing video games," Josephine replied.

Rose was reminded that she and Josephine were left with little money.

"How much can you earn from this?"

Josephine exuded confidence as she replied, "I haven't started earning yet, but trust me, I'll start earning soon enough."

Rose pushed further. "Where does your confidence come from?"

"I've played games for more than ten years and have already spent thousands of dollars, so I'm sure I'll reap something out of it." Rose,

'It's quite rare for someone to have lost thousands of dollars in games, no?'

After a few hours, Josephine slammed the table and bellowed, "Sis Angeline, I've lost all our money in the game. Sob, sob. What should I do?"

There was a ton of junk food and snacks in front of Rose. She was a person who ate when she felt sad, and now, she had eaten till she was feeling bloated. It was at this moment she suddenly heard Josephine crying...

Rose then silently put down the half-eaten banana, thinking that she could still keep it for tomorrow as a n energy booster.

"How'd you lose so badly?" Rose walked over to the laptop.

Josephine cried as she explained, "I was on a winning streak when a low ranking player came in. I merely scolded him for being a noob and he defeated me, who's a top-ranking player!" Rose looked at the laptop screen.

"Is that him?" She pointed at the only low ranking player on the screen. It was a player named 'Empire Without Sunset'! Josephine was extremely irritable upon the mention of that 'Empire Without Sunset'. "It's him alright.

Ruthless and quiet, he's a cruel person. Sis Angeline, help me annihilate him."

Rose sat in front of the laptop and loaded the game on behalf of Josephine.

Josephine keyed in some words in the chat, challenging 'Empire Without Sunset'. 'Switching to another expert to play with you!'

Rose speedily changed Josephine's in-game name from 'Zaynie Green' to 'Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber'.

It took a while for 'Empire Without Sunset' to reply. One on one?'

Rose was still contemplating when Josephine agreed to the other party's challenge.

'What do you want to challenge?' Rose typed into the chat.

'The lady should decide.'

'How do you know that I'm a lady?' Rose wondered.
