"He actually got out?" Mike was stunned. He never expected Dustin to leav
e that place safely. He only made a casual call to his dad without expect
ing much.
Since when had his father gotten so authoritative?
"Um, are you all right?" Abigail was the first to walk out of the coffee
shop and approach Dustin, the rest of the students following behind her.
"What could've happened?" Dustin splayed out his hands. "And why haven't
you gone home yet?"
"Abigail was worried you
were going to be chopped up, so she wouldn't leave." Nina interjected. "S
till, to think you managed to get
out of there safely after upsetting Lord Horst. You sure are lucky. I'll
give you that."
"Is he very powerful? I went easy on him just now and didn't give him a b
eating." Dustin responded indifferently.
"What? You wanted to give him a beating?" Nina rolled her eyes. "Are you
crazy? Lord Horst is the assistant leader of Flame Dragon Gang, and he's
got hundreds of men at his beck and call. No one could save you!"
"Dude, word of advice? Don't think you're invincible just because you're
a decent fighter. There are countless people out there who are stronger t
han you. You better lay low." Mike grumbled.
"He's right. You're new to this place, so you don't have any idea how dan
gerous Millsburg can be. Do you think you could've safely escaped if Mike
hadn't made a call to help you?" One of the boys snorted.
"Mike? Which Mike?" Dustin was puzzled.
"This one, of course!" The boy waved at Mike proudly, being the perfect l
ackey.
"Him?" Dustin shook his head, smiling. "First of all, I left using my own
skills. It had nothing to do with others. Secondly, what makes you think
that a person who cowered in fear because of Lord Horst could save me?"
"You're a stubborn brat!" Nina was displeased. "It's bad enough that you
aren't thanking Mike for saving you, but aren't you being rude by insulti
ng him instead?"
"Exactly! We shouldn't have asked Mike to help you if we knew you would b
e so arrogant!" the boys agreed.
"Forget it. Since he isn't grateful for my help, let him stay in his bubb
le. Sooner or later, someone will teach
him a lesson." Mike waved their words away, feigning generosity.
"See? This is how a kind and generous person should act." Nina gave Mike
a thumbs up.
"You've still got a lot to learn before you can reach Mike's level." the
boys sneered.
Even the girls couldn't help frowning. Although they were attracted by Du
stin's good looks and brave attitude,
his disgusting character put them off.
"Fine. If you think that he helped me, then so be it." Dustin couldn't be
bothered to argue. After lagging down a taxi, he turned and asked Abigai
l, "Since we're traveling in the same direction, would you like to share
a ride?"
"Mike, Nina, I'll be on my way. Let me know if anything comes up," Abigal
l said her goodbyes before leaving
with Dustin.
As soon as the two left, Nelson and his brother emerged from the karaoke
bar, looking displeased.
"Hey, isn't that Lord Horst? He looks pissed. Do you think he's going to
hunt that guy down?" someone pointed
out.
"Hunt him down?" A mischievous twinkle lit up Mike's eyes. He quickly app
roached the two men with a sneaky smile. "Lord Horst, are you trying to f
ind the guy who fought you just now? I can bring you to him. I know where
he is."
"What?" Nelson exclaimed, his features contorting in rage.
Not noticing the other man's shift in
expression, Mike continued gushing. "Lord Horst, you
should teach that arrogant brat a lesson. Please don't worry about offend
ing me. You can rough him up as much as you want!"
"Rough him up? I'll fucking rough you up!" Nelson roared, landing a firm
slap on Mike's face. "You fucking moron! Leave me out of your goddamn sui
cide mission! Fuck off!"
