When Paul invited Irene to the party, he was sure Holly would be confused about why someone had joined, but he had already told her that he would try to get some more people for their group, so there shouldn't be any problems.
When Irene accepted the party invite, her name popped up on the side of his screen, along with the level 36 to accompany it.
While he was preparing to walk away and meet back up with Holly, who should have been finishing up her siege tutorial around that time, COOLMATH, standing to the side, suddenly spoke loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
"Lazarus, that was an amazing duel. I am very impressed; I would be happy to have a 100k thalor duel with you; how about it?"
Paul, frozen in his tracks, was at a loss for words. Internally, he couldn't help but think that Mr. Surf Bro's audacity was beyond belief.
