Isaac reached the neighborhood's gate. His mind was still turbulent. The robber scene didn't shake him much, but seeing Oliver with his group of friends did.

That made him re-think many things. He would never be able to have his revenge without careful planning. Oliver was always with his friends, like a leech.

Then, the gate opened, and Isaac entered the neighborhood.

After walking down the streets, one of the gates opened, and a dog ran out. From the yard, a female scream followed.

Isaac knelt down and saw the dog running toward him. Then, the dog began sniffing his clothes while he patted its head.

He knew who owned this dog. From the yard, Rachel came with an anxious look. After seeing the dog, she finally felt relieved.

"This bad boy always wants to go out." She said while rubbing her dog's fur.

Isaac chuckled and stood up, "Going somewhere?"

"No, coming from somewhere." Rachel replied with a smile and then asked, "Do you want to come in for a coffee? I haven't seen you for several weeks, and I felt lonely because of it."

"Sure." Isaac shook his head at her childish demeanor. She smiled and led the way to their mansion.

After entering through the front doors, Isaac saw the walls made of an oak tree and a beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the surroundings in warm colors.

The light danced in the walls and showed both of their shadows. Then, there was the closed kitchen was pitch dark, and comfy-looking living room.

They removed their outdoor clothes and walked inside the living room. After Isaac sat down, Rachel went to the kitchen and made coffee before coming back.

The dog was sleeping on Isaac's lap, while he looked around the room and saw several framed pictures.

"Here." Rachel put two cups on the table and sat down on a comfy-looking chair. Her beautiful face had a calm smile as she smelt the delicious scent of coffee wafting through her nose.

Isaac took a quick sip and nodded with satisfaction.

"Ah, right." Rachel's face showed a sly smile, "I saw an interesting piece of news not long ago."

"Oh?" Isaac looked at her.

"Yeah, about you." She smiled, "Kissing with an adorable black-haired girl."

"Pfft!" Isaac spat out the coffee, and a few drops even landed on the dog's fur, which woke him up with a jolt.

Rachel covered her mouth and giggled, "Well, are you going to tell me about her?"

Isaac crossed his arms and said, "Ahem… Yeah… Her name is Luna."

"Luna…" Rachel closed her eyes and muttered that name in her mind, "She is your girlfriend?"

"Yep," Isaac replied with a smile forming on his face.

"I see…" Rachel slowly smiled and sighed, "You have grown… Time flies by."

"I think so…" Isaac looked at the smoking hot coffee and saw his reflection looking back at him.

"I am glad." She rubbed his hair and said, "I want to meet her… The one who managed to capture legendary Isaac's heart must be special."

Isaac rolled his eyes, "Is it really that surprising?"

"Yes!" She shouted with a laugh, "The number of heartbroken girls must not be a low amount. After all, they all felt hope after you stayed single for such a long time, but now… Whew, I am scared to think about what might happen once schools re-open."

Isaac wryly smiled.

They continued drinking, and after the coffee was finished, they bid farewells, and Isaac left the mansion.

Soon, he was back in his home. Then, Isabella rushed out of the living room, and before she could bomb him with questions, he spoke.

"I am fine. The robber didn't do anything, Michael made it in time, and I would have been able to run away."

He rushed upstairs, leaving stunned Isabella behind.

"Told you." Maxwell came from the kitchen with a cup of coffee, "Michael said that he was fine even if he wasn't there. You need to have trust in him."

Isabella opened her mouth, but no words came out. She went back to the living room with hundreds of thoughts assaulting her mind.

…

After returning to the room, Isaac replaced his clothes and took his bo-staff. He unwrapped it from the cloth.

Then, he spun it around his hand and thought about the three techniques Lionel showed him. They were basic ones but valuable.

"Slash… Thrust… Deflect…"

He jumped to his feet and moved the staff in front of him. Then, he began training the three moves.

"Slash…" He changed the grip on the staff and did a horizontal slash. The staff caused a sharp whistling sound to echo in the room as it brushed past the empty air.

"Thrust…" Then, he pulled his staff back before pushing it forth. Again, the sharp whistling sound appeared, and the staff sent a powerful thrust forward.

"Deflect…" In Isaac's vision, a transparent figure appeared that resembled a lot of Lionel's athletic figure. That illusionary figure sent a slash forward.

But then, Isaac moved his staff to intercept the attack and did it successfully. The side of his staff deflected the attack away and caused illusionary Lionel's posture to be a mess.

Then, the transparent figure vanished.

…

The following day.

Isaac had returned to Stronglord. He walked in the busy streets and earned a lot of looks from nearby players. Whispers flew through the air and landed on his ear.

He could hear their discussions being amount many things. One was about his previous stream, then a few shady-looking guys talked about his Resurrection Pearl and Teleportation Pearl.

Both weren't a secret anymore, and Isaac carefully scanned everyone that entered his path. Soon, he reached his destination.

The enormous Colosseum's shadow loomed over him. That's right, he was going back there, and this time, he was going to stay there for a longer time.

There were many who aimed for high-ranking positions, but not Isaac. He only wanted level up and rewards. But he wouldn't mind if his ranking was high.

His level rank was already in 400, and that made him instantly a pro player. Being in the top 500 was a huge honor.
