Face-Slapping System



Carrol pondered for a moment before she shook her head, "White Tiger Nation is pretty big compared to Orient Pearl Country. However, I know that there are not that many cultivators in the city that we are in."

"As for this Tiger Tyrant guy, I have never heard of him. But for his underling to be a level 3, we can assume that he isn't an ordinary person as well."

Roland nodded his head. However, he was actually disappointed that Carrol also did not know this Tiger Tyrant guy. Else, he would have managed to estimate the strength of his opponent so that he could prepare in advance.

He did not blame Carrol on this. After all, what she said was indeed the truth. White Tiger Nation was quite big. Who knows how many people named Tiger Tyrant in that nation at this moment.

The information that Razor had revealed was only superficial stuff as well, so the matter regarding Tiger Tyrant should be put on hold for now. However, Roland already has some ideas on whom he should 'ask' next.

Anyways, since he did not manage to obtain any information about this Tiger Tyrant, Roland proceeded to ask another question that he had been curious about as well.

He invited Carrol to Pure Dew Villa, saying that he still had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask. However, Carrol declined and said that Stacey only learned that she was here for a few hours.

In the end, Roland just invited her to sit with him on the hard bench, this time, she did not decline.

After she sat down, Roland went directly to the point again and stated, "In truth, I've been meaning to ask you this. I just recently encountered this cultivator thing, and I am still ignorant to a lot of matters. Can you help me regarding this area?"

Roland's information regarding cultivators was indeed just a minute amount. As he had already come into contact with them, it was better to 'properly' learn about them while it was still early.

The information online was nothing but a wild fantasy of writers. So, he thickened his face and decided to ask a real cultivator instead.

On the other hand, Carrol was taken aback by Roland's remarks. She had never imagined that someone as strong as him would actually ask this kind of question.

And besides, even if he truly didn't know, there were still the guards who also had some strength on their own.

'Is he testing me?' She thought.

It would have never occurred to her that Roland was indeed telling the truth. However, this misunderstanding inadvertently allowed Roland to learn a lot of things as Carrol answered all his questions truthfully, thinking that he was testing her.

Anyways, an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. Carrol has already answered most of the questions that he has been curious about. Even her level, which was currently at Level 2 did not escape Roland's probing.

For one thing, Carrol thought that Roland had already sensed her level already, so she answered truthfully when he asked her about it.

"Oh, right, Stacey mentioned that you also wanted to ask me about something?" Roland asked after recalling Stacey mentioning this.

Carrol nodded her head, "It's not something serious, I would just like to ask if you truly love my Miss Stacey."

It was her duty to protect Stacey from harm. Although this was a little late for a question now that Stacey and Roland have already been together for a few weeks, she still decided to ask just for formality.

From what she had seen, it was apparent that Roland indeed loved Stacey.

Hearing the question, Roland was taken aback a little. He did not expect that her question was about something like this.

He pondered for a moment before sighing, "It depends. Each of us has our own perception of what love is. For me, I consider Stacey as my own, and deeply cared for her. If we go by my perception of love, then, I, Roland, indeed love Stacey." He declared confidently.

His feelings for Stacey and connection to Stacey has already grown past being just friends and acquaintances. Right now, Stacey was the most important to Roland. It was her who pulled him from the darkness called emotion that even the money and material things rewarded by the System could only suppress a little.

Hearing his answer, Carrol nodded her head in recognition.

"That's enough of an answer for me. I only have one request, please protect her, just like how I protected her long before you arrived," she continued.

"Naturally," Roland smiled and answered confidently.

If it was before, he would surely not answer such confident words. However, advancing to level 3 made his confidence rise to another level again. And with One, there was simply nothing that he needed to worry about. Especially after learning about some of the cultivators' handicaps while staying in this energy-less place called Fore City.

After that, Carrol finally stood up, signaling the end of their conversation. They shook Roland's hand firmly as she bid farewell to all of them.

Stacey invited her to the villa or even to her house as well, but Carrol refused and said that she still has something to do.

In the end, Stacey did not insist on it.

After Carrol's figure disappeared from their view, they finally drove back to the Pure Dew Villa with Janine driving the car.

And as usual, Mr. Frank and Missus Stella waited at the front of the villa to receive all of them.

"Welcome home, Master. Welcome home, Miss," Mr. Frank greeted them with a smile.

Roland and Stacey greeted each other in turn with a smile. And as they were already done eating, they immediately took a light shower before they laid down on bed. This was an eventful day, and both of them were mentally tired.
