Chapter 414
“He actually got out?” Mike was stunned. He never expected Dustin to leave that place safely. He only made a casual call to his dad without expecting 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. “Still, 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 beating.” 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 than you. You better lay low.” Mike grumbled.
“He’s right. You’re new to this place, so you don’t have any idea how dangerous 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 lackey.
“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 insulting him instead?”
“Exactly! We shouldn’t have asked Mike to help you if we knew you would be so arrogant!” the boys agreed.
“Forget it. Since he isn’t grateful for my help, let him stay in his bubble. 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 Dustin’s good looks and brave attitude,
“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 Abigail, “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,” Abigall said her goodbyes before leaving
