Chapter 413


    In a coffee shop across the street, Mike and his group hadn’t left. Instead, they’d made themselves co


    mfortable in the shop to enjoy the show.


    “Abigail, was that man your rtive? He’s so handsome and brave! He even dared to boss Lord Horst


    around.”


    “She’s right. With his looks and moves, he makes me feel so sale.”


    The girls gathered together and gossiped, their voices turning into adoration when talking about Dustin


    .


    “So what if he can fight? In this day and age, the only things that matter


    are brains, connections, and family backgrounds.” Mike humphed begrudgingly. “Besides, we don’t eve


    n know if he can make it out of the ce alive after offending Lord Horst, so what’s


    there to brag about?”


    “He’s right! That guy beat up Lord Horst’s men and embarrassed me Dragon Gang. It doesn’t matter


    how strong he is; he’s still dead meat.”


    “He’s just a foolish brat who likes to show off.”


    The boys grumbled unhappily in return, making the girls worry again.


    Dustin may be strong, but the person


    he upset was the omnipotent Lord Horst of me Dragon Gang. Fighting skills alone were useless aga


    inst thetter.


    “Mike, didn’t you say that your dad is friends with Lord Horst? Could you please ask for your dad’s help


    so that Lord Horst lets Dustin go?” Abigail implored, her eyes glued to the karaoke bar, worried that so


    mething might happen.


    “Abigail, even if my


    dad is friends with Lord Horst, you can’t expect me to ask my dad to help a stranger, right? “Mike looke


    d troubled.


    “Can’t you do it as a favor for me, Mike? He helped me just now, so I can’t leave him like this.” Abigail


    begged.


    “But-” Mike hesitated before nodding. “Alright. I’ll give it a go for you, but no promises. You know how L


    ord Horst is. No one can stop him if he’s angry.”


    “Thanks.” Abigail forced a smile.


    “I’ll do my best.”


    Mike pulled out his phone and walked to a corner before pretending to make a call. He may have promi


    sed Abigail to help, but he didn’t say anything about seeding. After all his father was still way below


    Nelson, so there was no way thetter would do his father a favor..


    All Mike was doing now


    was putting on a show to win Abigail’s favor. He couldn’t care less about Dustin’s safety.


    “Done. My dad said he’ll put in the request, but the final decision lies with Lord Horst.” Mike made sure


    to give himself an out.


    “Thanks, Mike.” Abigail smiled.


    “You’re wee! Aren’t we friends? Of course I’d help you when you’re in trouble.” Mike boasted.


    “You’re spoiling her, Mike. Why don’t you two start dating?” the short–haired girl said.


    “That depends on Abigail. I don’t mind.” Mike answered hall–jokingly.


    “Stop fooling around, Nina.” Abigail red at the other girl bashfully, her reaction leading Mike to think t


    hat he might have a chance.


    “Look. That guy got out!” One of the girls suddenly pointed at the karaoke bar.


    Everyone turned their heads and saw Dustin walk out of the building, seemingly unharmed.


    “Holy shit! Mike got him out with a phone call. That’s so cool!”

    Everyone was shocked to see Dustin walk out, and the boys immediately began praising Mike.
