George immediately made way for Duke.
Duke successfully arrived before the bedroom door at long last. Just as he was about to knock on the
door, someone pulled it open.
He took a quick glance in the bedroom and spotted four women wearing the same wedding gown. They
were sitting on the small bed with their backs facing him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. This round should be asking him to find out the real bride.
This should not be too difficult.
“Dad, please put this on.”
Alden handed him a black VR headset.
Duke narrowed his eyes. “What is this for?”
“I designed a VR system. You can only experience it when you put this VR headset on,” Alden said.
“Dad, please rescue the real bride in the game.”
The moment Duke put on the eye patch, the scene in front of him changed.
He was in a cave with blazing fire, and there were four brides in white gowns being held captive in four
prisons.
All the brides looked exactly the same as Addy. Their figures, facial features, and even their eyes and
lips were a splitting image.
Duke understood that it was a photorealistic scene that Alden had carefully designed. Their faces had
also been copied and pasted, so it was impossible to differentiate them based on appearance alone.
He walked over as the fire before him grew increasingly intense.
However, he knew that it was just a simulation. In reality, he was merely moving around in the room.
He went forth while he heard the voices of a few women from the headset.
“Duke, help me! Help!”
“I‘m suffering! I‘m in so much pain! Hurry! Help me!”
“Please, help me! I’m burning...”
Their cries of pain echoed as Duke glanced at their faces.
He slowly walked through the fire, and the scene in the simulation changed all of a sudden. Despite that,
he was unaffected.
He continued walking until he stopped in front of the fourth prison.
When he swung his hand, golden light was released from his fingers, and the prison door was unlocked.
He then rescued the bride.
“Congratulations on passing the level!”
The system‘s robotic voice rang in the headset, and the VR scene instantly disappeared.
Duke took off the headset and saw the real Adina in his arms. His gaze was gentle and full of affection.
There were guests around them, and Adina felt a little shy as she asked, “How did you know it was me?”
“You‘re the only one who didn’t call for help.” Duke lowered his voice and said, “You‘re different from
most women. You‘re an independent individual. No matter what challenges you encounter, you never ask
a man for help. But from today onward, I hope that you can learn to ask me for help because I‘m your
husband and companion who will spend the rest of my life with you. We‘ll get through all the difficulties
and obstacles together.”
Adina blushed as she nodded. “Okay, I‘ll learn slowly.”
She would learn how to be more vulnerable, how to stand behind him, and how to enjoy being protected,
as well as pampered, by her lover.
When Alden saw this, he felt extremely upset.
He had stayed up late for three nights to make the system, but his dad defeated it in just a few minutes.
He pulled Duke‘s sleeve, scoffed, and said, “Dad, don‘t be too happy just yet. There‘s still one more
level.”
Duke turned around and saw Melody staring at him with a bright smile. She was his sweetheart, so she
would not trouble him.
