After the emotional conversation between the brothers concluded, Luke moved on to the more important stuff.
“By the way, have you received an invite a few days ago for some special event?” Luke asked Leo, who nodded his head in response.
“I did, why?”
“It’s because, Cervantez talked to me about the event today, and he told me to pass a warning to you as well” Luke said, as he looked Leo dead in the eyes.
“Pass a warning? Don’t tell me that the guy knows about this event as well…” Leo muttered, as he seemed extremely annoyed by the fact that Cervantez seemed to have some hidden knowledge about this event as well.
“He does…” Luke said, as Leo threw his hands in the air in exasperation.
“What is your problem?” Luke asked, sounding annoyed as he did not appreciate Leo’s attitude when it came to Cervantez.
“Don’t you find it suspicious brother? The man knows far too many things about far too many events in the future….
It was fine at the start of the game, but his actions seem hella suspicious to me as time passes” Leo said, as Luke smacked him on his head for making this comment.
“Cervantez is not suspicious, he’s my guildmaster and you will refer to him with respect.
Also, everyone has secrets.
How he gets the information is not as important as what he does with it.
And although he could have kept all the information to himself, he has been gracious enough to pass it on to me, and allowed me to pass it on to you.
So be thankful and don’t bite the hand that feeds you” Luke warned as Leo grit his teeth and nodded.
“Alright, I hear you–” Leo said, as he decided to behave and not question the source of Cervantez��s future knowledge, although the topic bugged him secretly.
“So… as I was saying, Cervantez has told me to warn you to ‘Not Gamble’ during the special event.
He has explicitly told me, to not give-in to the temptation of gambling and be happy with whatever I have achieved in the event naturally” Luke said, as he gave a sort of direct yet sort of cryptic warning to Leo.
“I don’t understand? What is this? A gacha-spin event?” Leo asked, as Luke shrugged his shoulders in response.
“I have no idea as to what the actual event is.
All I know is that it’s very important to our future as rankers and that we are not supposed to gamble away our gains inside it.
I have passed on to you everything that was previously said to me” Luke said, as Leo’s left eye fluttered when he heard this response.
“What sort of bullsh–”
“Behave! What did I just tell you?” Luke warned as he cut off Leo before he could curse Cervantez.
“Oh perfect–” Leo said, getting up as he threw his hands in the air in frustration and stormed into Luke’s room to separate himself from his annoying brother.
As Amanda emerged out of the bathroom, to see Luke sitting on the floor frowning and Leo to be missing, she automatically assumed the worst that the brothers had fought over her, however, that was not actually the case at all.

( Back in the game, Eren )
Eren was quite fed-up with the treatment that the demons gave him.
The demons treated him like a dog that could speak. A plaything more than a valued tactician, and this attitude of the demons pissed Eren off greatly.
However, not having the strength to stand-up to his bullies physically, and not having the luxury of abandoning their camp and dropping to level 0, the only realistic choice that Eren had against the demons was to endure.
“Speaking human…. Tidy up, for today is the greatest day of your entire miserable life” Count Vaugn said, as he walked into Eren’s room alongside a dozen other human slaves holding buckets of water and washcloths.
“Today we meet the Demon King himself! It seems like the path you had drawn for the demon army to reach the Western front has worked perfectly.
The King is pleased and has taken notice of your contributions.
Be proud, for you get to be in the presence of the greatest warrior to have ever been born on the sacred land of Terra Nova” Count Vaugn said, as he snapped his fingers.
Upon receiving his instruction, the human slaves, off which some were females and some males, began undressing Eren in Vaugn’s presence as they began cleaning every square inch of his body.
Although Eren felt extremely uncomfortable to be touched by men, he resisted the urge to kick them away or feel embarrassed as he sat rooted to his spot looking stoic.
Soon, the servants were done cleaning him and Vaugn approved of the clean-up as he threw a demonic attire for him to wear.
“The uniform of a Demon Captain. Be proud…. For you have become the first human to get it…. Ever” Vaugn said, as he urged Eren to put it on.
The physique of the demons was unlike humans.
Their upper torso was larger and longer than humans and their shoulders were not as wide compared to their hips, giving them a very slight ‘V’ curve compared to the prominent ‘V’ shape on human males.
This meant that the clothes designed for demons did not fit Eren properly at all, as they fit properly at a few parts but were overly long at others, making him look like a kid wearing a man’s outfit.
“Ha— you don’t have the muscle to wear a captain’s outfit, however, your brain makes up for it” Vaugn mocked, as he felt satisfied with Eren’s overall get-up and decided to take him to the Demon King’s Castle, to meet with the greatest warrior in all of Terra Nova.
