Since he was quite free, he thought he could use some time to relax.
Twenty minutes later, Dustin and Abigail exited the car in front of a mus
ic bar. Compared to the lively and noisy atmosphere of a karaoke bar, the
music bar was quieter. Friends could sit together, drink, chat, and list
en to music. It was relaxing and comfortable.
"Abigail! Over here!"
Right after they entered the music bar, a short–
haired girl stood up and waved at Abigail. Dustin followed the direction
of the sound and recognized several familiar faces.
The short–haired girl was Nina
Sharp. Another one was a popular guy in school, Mike Horton. Dustin thoug
ht the rest looked quite familiar but couldn't recall their names.
The only person he couldn't recognize was a girl in a school uniform. She
looked young and pretty. The girl had a delicate oval face with exquisit
e features. She looked pure and innocent, like a fairy. With just a glanc
e, she could capture a person's attention.
"Sorry, we're late. Abigail approached them with a smile and took the opp
ortunity to introduce Dustin, "Uncle,
you've already met everyone else. So I won't introduce them again. As for
this person, she's the star of today.
our guest of honor, Ruby Xenos."
Abigail added, "Let me tell you a secret. Ruby is not only a popular live
streamer with millions of fans, but
she's also a star at our school."
"Abigail, don't be ridiculous. I'm just a trainee, still far from being a
star," Ruby pouted.
"Your singing is so beautiful. It's only a
matter of time before you debut. I believe you'll become famous in no
time!" Abigail said with a smile.
"Whatever you say!" Ruby rolled her eyes.
"Look, I didn't lie to you. I told you there would be beautiful girls her
e. So, are you impressed?" Abigail turned
back and teased Dustin.
Dustin glanced at her sideways and couldn't be bothered to respond.
"I mean, Abigail, why did you bring an outsider with us when we're here t
o drink and sing?" Mike seemed
displeased.
"Yeah, Abigail, it's Ruby's birthday today, and it's not quite appropriat
e to bring a stranger along." Nina chimed
In.
"It's alright. The more, the merrier," Unfazed, Ruby smiled.
"That's right! This guy here is good at fighting. If anything happens,
he can be our bodyguard." Abigail nodded
repeatedly.
"What's the point of being good at fighting? If something really happens,
it's all about connections and relationships," Mike sneered. Since Dusti
n stole the limelight before, he had been holding a grudge. He wanted

to use Lord Horst to deal with Dustin and settle the score. Yet the
man slapped him right then and there. His face was still a bit swollen.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Since everyone is here, let
Ruby sing us a song." Abigail quickly changed the subject.
"It's been so long since I've heard Ruby sing. Today, we're finally in fo
r a treat!"
"Ruby, come on stage quickly. I can't wait any longer!"
The crowd joined in the cheer.
"Well, I'll try my best then." Ruby nodded with a smile, then walked up t
o the stage and talked with the male singer. The male singer readily agre
ed and willingly gave up his spot.
"Oh, this young beauty is taking over the stage. Interesting."
"Hey, pretty! Sing 'The Love of a Boatman' for me!"
As soon as Ruby stepped on stage, she immediately drew the attention of c
ountless people, especially the men who had a few drinks. They became eve
n more excited and kept cheering for Ruby.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to sing this song." Ruby apologized.
"The Love of a Boatman is simple. You can learn it on the spot. As long a
s you sing this song, I'll reward you!" A chubby guy walked forward with
a smile, holding ten roses that he had purchased. Each rose cost one hund
red dollars. He had spent more than enough to request a song.
"I really don't know how to sing this song." Ruby seemed awkward.
"I don't care. I've already requested the song, and if you don't sing, it
means you're disrespecting me." The chubby man continued with an evil gr
in. "Of course, if you're willing to have a few drinks with me, we can le
t this matter go."
Upon hearing that, Mike immediately stood up, infuriated.
