Chapter 1151: Selecting The Luna (Part 2)
Gary was wishing that this moment would last forever with Xin. He was enjoying her soft embrace, and the two of them just relaxed to enjoy the music as they swayed from side to side.
Yet, fate was cruel for Gary because he wasn't even able to enjoy many moments of peace before he felt a tap on his shoulder. To his surprise, it was Kai of all people.
"What's wrong?" Gary asked as he calmly let Xin go, who almost looked like she was about to fall asleep due to the state she was in. She had clearly been enjoying the moment as well.
"Honestly, it's an awkward situation to be explaining," Kai said as he folded his arms. "I think it's best that you follow me. Oh, and Xin, this involves you as well, so you better come too."
Both Xin and Gary looked at each other for a moment, wondering just what matter would involve the two of them, and enough to even take them away from the situation they were in.
The party was continuing on, as Gary was led by Kai out of the venue itself. They exited through one of the many double doors and into the hallway. Then he continued to follow Kai down the hallway.
"What's this about? Are we being attacked? Should we clear out the room? You being like this, silent, it's not going to help the situation," Gary said.
"You're right," Kai replied. "And this is one situation where I think my advice isn't going to help you."
Kai had stopped just outside another door. It was a large, empty room, not as big as the one they were in, that was used for interviews and at times could be turned into a makeshift makeup room.
When Kai opened the door, for a moment, Gary saw sweat running down the side of his face. He could hear his heart beating.
'What is going on?' Gary thought.
Instantly, Kai stepped to the side, and Gary could see the inside. There were four women standing in the room, each of them with their arms folded. Some were tapping the side of their foot, others had their eyebrows furrowed, and they were staring straight at him.
Gary's feet froze; he hadn't even stepped into the room yet, but he was wondering why all of the cells in his body, just like when he fought against Harvor, were telling him he had to get out now.
'I… should run… my body is telling me to run. Right now would be the time a system quest would come up or something I can tell.'
Gary's lips moved, wanting to ask something, but he paused, wondering if he should or not, and in the end, like everything that got him so far in his life, he asked.

"Amy, White, Marie, Olivia… what brings you all here? Why are you all here?" Gary asked.
"Kai, bring him in!" Marie said.
"Right." Kai quickly pushed Gary from behind, and then he closed the doors. It was all in one smooth movement, and before Gary knew it, he ended up sitting in a seat just a few meters away from the others.
"Xin, you come over here; you're on our side!" Amy shouted.
"Huh, me… wait, what's happening?" Xin asked.
"Xin," Amy said again. It only took the second time to mention her name for Xin not to ask questions, as she moved over to the other side, and now there were five women who were staring straight at Gary.
"We heard from Tom; we managed to get it all out of him," Amy said. "That you have to pick your Luna wolf, right? We heard the details about it all, so we decided to make it easy for you."
"We all gathered here, so you need to pick one of us to be your Luna!"
"Pick one of you? Wait, even you, Amy? Why you?" Gary said, as he felt intense heat coming off them even from where he was sitting. His back was starting to sweat even further.
"Tom explained it; the Luna is someone that you need to trust. Although I'm not like you at the moment, you can turn me, and as your sister, who can you trust more? If you can't decide between all of these, then you can pick me! As I said, we have all gathered here to make it easy for you."
'Easy for me!' Gary screamed in his head. 'In what world would this be considered easy! Is she doing this to me because I left her at the park on her own that time? Or because I stole the last ice cream? Who knew she would get back at me like this! I thought she cared about me!'
"Gary!" Marie shouted out. "You have to think about this properly. You can't just pick Xin because she's your girlfriend. Although Tom told us that it's possible, you need to think about her. The matter of Luna and who is your girlfriend are two different matters."
"I think even Xin would agree about that, right, Xin?"
"Actually, err…"
"Yeah, see, she even agrees," Marie said, cutting her off before she could even answer.
Just like that, the girls started to shout at Gary, to the point where even with his ears, he couldn't distinguish what was being said from one to the other; it was all just becoming noise in his head.
Kai, who was stationed at the back, only had one word to say. "I'm sorry, Gary… for putting you in all of this."
"Alright, everyone, just stop!" Olivia shouted as she stomped her foot. "We haven't even heard Gary speak. Let him speak; let's hear him out."
As all eyes stared at Gary, he gulped down his fears. 'I have to pick one…'
