"Straighten your back and do not smile. Keep your expression cold and make sure there is not even a wrinkle on your clothes. Good, you are finally ready to head out."

Keith did not feel like he was ready at all. He looked in the mirror to see the same face he had been seeing for the past week.

'Grandmaster' was a title that carried a lot of weight and a lot of people knew who the grandmaster was. If Keith wanted to pass as the Grandmaster, he would need to put in the effort to correct his mannerism.

That was what the last week had been for him - to practice how to act like someone else. And he hated to say it but Clair had been someone invaluable to him during this process.

But now it was time to go back to acting their parts.

For the first time in a week, the Grandmaster finally opened his door and stepped out into the world. The servants greeted him, not being able to meet his eyes.

And those who did end up crying out of fear. Keith's expression was as cold as ice, willing to cut anyone who crossed him. But his heart was thumping in fear of being found out.

Clair walked behind him with her head bowed down. Her neck had a collar and a small chain that Keith was carrying. She was acting like a good slave did, submissive and walking behind her master.

But Keith could feel her judging his performance and weighing whether to kill him or not every second of the way.

"G-Grandmaster, the carriage is ready."

The servant who was in charge of the transportation bowed as low as he could. His head was almost touching the ground in front of Keith and he felt sorry for the servant.

He did not want to cause such panic and he also wanted to help the man back up. But one step was enough for Clair to tap her foot on the ground. Of course, it was a warning for Keith not to forget his role.

Clair gave Keith a small nod which meant that he needed to start acting his part now.

'Fuck it. Time to put all my training to test.'

Keith walked toward the car and he had to say - what a magnificent car it was. It was sleek and had a shiny metallic finish. It looked lined with leather seats and fully furnished and comfortable insides.

It was a car that not many people would be able to afford even if they worked their whole lives and saved everything.

'But m-my life is on the line here.'

"I cannot believe that the guild council sent such a worthless thing for me to ride. How dare they make a mockery of me like this."

Keith cried out inside his mind every time he spoke. The car in front of him was like a dream come true. It was everything a car-lover could ask for in his dream car. And yet, he still had to say such words.

If he could, Keith would have apologized to the car and consoled it that it was the best. But he could not do that now, especially since it was for his survival.

'I am sorry, car. You are magnificent, but my life is a little more important.'

Everyone looked stunned as soon as Keith opened his mouth. He was afraid that he had made a mistake right now but he chose to not step back. It was not in his character setting to step back and admit his mistake.

"I-I am sorry, Grandmaster. I will instantly go and dispose of this car and bring you a new and better one to use right away. Please overlook this small mistake on my part."

The guild member who had been asked to be in charge of this small transportation operation had gone pale and lifeless.

He almost looked like he had no life left in his eyes and Keith was sure he was afraid of his incoming death.

The MMO had painted the grandmaster as a ruthless person, willing to kill anyone who stepped even a little out of line. But Keith could not make such a decision all on a whim.

He did not want to kill an innocent man for something that was not even his fault. And this was a dilemma now he was faced with.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Excuse me, grandmaster. Can I suggest something?"

For the first time, Clair spoke up and everyone turned their attention to her. Keith was thankful for this since it allowed him to catch his breath.

"I am bored so can I be the one to destroy this car? This fool can go and bring you a new one in the meantime."

Clair's words caused the man to pale even more. It seemed he looked even more terrified of the car being damaged than of himself being killed. But would it be alright? It was not a harsh enough punishment to be carried out by 'the vicious grandmaster'.

'I need to trust Clair. She's on my side and she's even helped me out thus far.'

Besides, Keith's body was feeling all kinds of things when Clair clung to his arm. She was small for her age but not underdeveloped. And her breasts were certainly soft and ample enough to distract Keith.

He had lost this fight even before it had begun. And it was all thanks to his hormones.

"Fine. Do what you want to do. And you, hurry up and bring me a new car to use. And it better not be anything like this garbage one again."

Keith cried out inside his mind as the perfectly good car was burned in front of his eyes. However, as soon as Clair lit it on fire, it blew up like a bomb which was not normal.

From playing this game before, Keith knew that this was not the normal way for a car to be blown away unless it had a bomb implanted into it.

"Good job. You managed to stay alive this time and also defeated a plan to end your life."

Keith paled as soon as he heard those low-sounding words. Clair's smile made her look innocent but Keith knew her real nature.

Everyone looked stunned but Clair's hand on Keith's back reminded him that he needed to pull himself together and deal with this situation.

"Such fools. Did they think such a pitiful trick would work on me? I will make sure they pay for targeting me."

Keith growled those words out but his throat hurt. He wondered how the voice actors and superiors made this sound seem natural on T.V. Keith felt like his throat was going to get scratched if he made this noise again.

Everyone else flinched as they looked away from his anger. Everyone except Clair had a satisfied look on her face.

"I-I am so sorry for this mix-up. I brought your new car."

Keith met Clair's eyes once the new car arrived. Now that he had been saved from death once more, he was willing ot trust Clair more. And it was only after she discreetly nodded that Keith sat inside the car.

Everyone else sighed in relief once Keith was out of sight. It was finally time to have some peace once again. He could behave how he wanted to now.

"W-Wait for me, grand master. I am coming with you as well."

No, scratch that. He could still not act how he wanted to because of another obstacle in his way. And this time it was because of Shimi's sudden arrival. She managed to keep the car door open with her massive strength and sat in front of Keith.

G-Grandmaster, can I come with you? I promise you that I will not cause you any trouble. Please allow me to come."

Keith tried not to look down at her ample chest that was on display due to her begging posture. But no matter how much he tried to resist, he could not resist his eyes from looking down.

"Stop looking at her chest and start thinking about your life. Also, try to keep your distance from everyone else if you don't want to be found out."

Keith wanted to cry but he had to control his face. It was such a nightmare for him to be forced into this car with two females who could kill him.
