171 Lisa Heartwell - The one who left him to die

A smile came to his lips as Rio heard the system's voice in his head again, he had been waiting for it since last night. He was curious to talk with the system, ask questions and doubts he had found in these past 8 years, receive the rewards for all his hard work, see how many points he got or just simply discuss his next strategies with the system - but that would all have to wait for a while. 

After all, as he said before, today was a day dedicated to the protagonist. It wouldn't be fun if he ignored him and decided to talk with the system instead. 

Unlike his past self which bore no hatred or animosity towards the protagonist, and would even want to ignore him, the current Rio had developed a form of wariness against this chosen son of fate, that just wouldn't leave him alone now. The incident from 2 years ago, was simply a slap of reality for him because of taking things too lightly and thinking of himself as untouchable.
