Chapter 780


    After Esther entered the bar, she wasted no time and started downing drinks.


    After a few sses, her face turned red, and her words began to slur. She clung to a bottle, her


    eyes unfocused. "Listen, Mobius is a horrible person. I must have been blind to fall for him."

    Pearl could only look at James and frown when she noticed his apparent interest.


    "So, I''ll never forgive him. He didn''t evene looking for me. I''m sure he stopped loving me a long


    time ago… I hate him. I hate his guts!" Esther was so intoxicated that she kept smiling at everyone


    around her.


    A fat man saw how silly she looked and walked over with a smile. "Are you single? Would you like


    to have a drink with me?"


    Esther began shouting when he ced his hands on her. "Don''t touch me. You''re disgusting. Go


    away."


    The man initially had a smile on his face, but after hearing her words, his eyes widened. "Listen,


    don''t pretend to be a prude, or I''ll teach you a lesson!" He raised his hand as if to p her.


    Esther looked up at his hand with twinkling eyes.


    Suddenly, the man felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and when he turned to look, the slender man beside


    Esther had grabbed his wrist, his eyes emanating a terrifying aura.


    "Who were you nning to teach a lesson?" The man sounded gentle and nonchnt, but there


    was a clear hostility in his tone.


    "I don''t think I''ve done anything to you. Why are you doing this?" The man''s wrist was throbbing


    with pain, but he was at a loss for words.


    "I asked you a question. Who were you nning to teach a lesson?" James red at him with a


    cold expression, the hostility in his eyes getting stronger.


    James might have appeared frail, but he had a fearsome side to him.


    The man was now trembling with fear and began to plead. "I didn''t mean anything by it. I just


    wanted to have a drink with this beautifuldy. If she''s not interested, that''s perfectly fine. I''m not


    forcing her."


    James didn''t seem inclined to let him off the hook so easily. He released the man''s wrist but


    suddenly delivered a swift kick that sent him sprawling onto the floor.


    The man started howling in pain upon hitting the floor, and everyone in the bar watched him as if he


    were a clown. Humiliated, he yelled, "Do you know who I am?"


    "I don''t need to know, but I know who you touched," James replied calmly.


    Esther, too drunk to fullyprehend the situation, had a hunch that this was about her. She asked,


    "Me?"


    James smiled at her. "Yes, you." He switched from fierce to gentle in a blink.


    Pearl stood by, watching the events unfold, and decided it was best not to get involved. Besides, it


    seemed James was quite taken with Esther.


    "I''m the boss of Enswood. My men won''t let you get away with this if you''ve offended me," the man


    threatened, rolling over, standing up, and pointing his finger at James.


    "Who are you pointing at?" James reacted quickly, grabbing the man''s finger and bending it with


    lightning-fast reflexes. A loud crack echoed through the bar as the man''s finger broke.


    "Argh!!!" The man screamed in agony.
