Chapter 70
“What?” Rat exclaimed in surprise as clarity washed
over him. No wonder he’s so skilled at fighting. I can’t
believe I just messed with someone out of my league.
Damn you Mr. Webber for not informing me earlier. I
even gave you a beer bottle
“Manny, I’m sorry. It was just a friendly fire. I apologize
to you on behalf of Rat.” Samuel bowed slightly,
regarding Emmanuel with the utmost respect.
“Apologize to her if that’s what you want to do.”
Emmanuel pointed at Xylie. “Forgive my bluntness, but
all of you are only capable of bullying women. You’re
not up to the mark to lay even a finger on me.”
The crowd around them gasped in surprise.
Those words weren’t particularly hurtful, but they were
extremely humiliating, and yet Rat and his party didn’t
dare to utter a word.
Samuel even bowed and laughed. “You’re right. Thank
you for showing mercy, Manny.”
Taking in that scene, Xylie admired Emmanuel even
more. This man is so formidable!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Come. Since we’re all here, let’s have a few more
drinks tonight. Out of blows, our friendship grows.
Haha!” Samuel pulled Emmanuel to sit down and enjoy
alcohol together.
Emmanuel was a man who valued loyalty. Since
Samuel had shown him respect earlier, he had to
reciprocate.
After a few drinks, Samuel learned the entire story. It
turned out Emmanuel and Rat had a big fight over a
bargirl.
“Haha! Manny, you have good taste!” Samuel
immediately pushed Xylie next to Emmanuel, causing
her tender body to press tightly against him. “Serve
Manny well, and I’ll reward you with ten thousand!”
“I-” Xylie hesitated and didn’t refuse at once.
“Mr. Webber, you’ve misunderstood. I-” Emmanuel
wanted to decline, but Samuel and the other men.
started clamoring.
“Misunderstood? Don’t tell me you’re not satisfied with
just one girl? Haha! In that case, let’s have two girls to
accompany him! Manager, make the arrangement!”
Worried they would complicate things, Emmanuel
quickly waved his hand and stood up.
As he got to his feet, Xylie subconsciously followed suit.
The manager was also a competent and tactful
person. If it hadn’t been for Emmanuel, their bar would
have surely been thrashed.
Moreover, seeing how Emmanuel was able to be on
such good terms with Samuel at such a young age,
the manager figured Emmanuel must be influential
and needed to be treated well.
“Mr. Lowe, the private room is ready for you.” The
manager swiftly approached Emmanuel and Xylie.
Xylie kept her head down, blushing but not refusing.
Milani, standing at one side, mocked Yoel, “Ha! Your
goddess is gone. How should I describe this? It’s like
sending the girl you like to a lion’s den!”
Yoel was brokenhearted and deeply upset.
Nevertheless, he wasn’t someone as foolish as Milani.
He could tell Emmanuel wasn’t a lecher.
Besides, since Xylie didn’t rebuff Emmanuel, that
implied she felt safer with Emmanuel. That was
certainly better than her being bullied by those
ruffians.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Haha!” Samuel hurriedly shoved Emmanuel and Xylie
into the private room. “Manny, enjoy yourself tonight!
Consider this a return of the favor for the time you
helped me earn three million!”
“Hey ” Emmanuel still wanted to resist, but Samuel
closed the door and locked it from outside.
Click!
The door was shut, leaving Emmanuel and Xylie alone
inside the room.
The atmosphere instantly turned ambiguous.
Xylie instinctively clutched her chest as her clothes
had been torn earlier.
“Are you all right?” Although Emmanuel had a lot of
alcohol, he was actually more composed than Xylie
because he had never harbored any improper
thoughts toward women.
“Yes, I’m fine. Thank you for saving me!” she replied
shyly.
“I’m glad to hear that.” Emmanuel smiled. “Let me
introduce a friend to you. In fact, he’s the one who
asked me to help you…”
He took out his phone as he spoke, wanting to contact
Yoel to come in.
However, when he looked at the screen, Emmanuel
realized his phone had run out of battery.
