Chapter: 704
"Understood. You can step aside now, and don’t dampen Uncle’s mood."
With that, Abigail forcefully dragged Dustin away.
She immediately showed her true colors once they were out of Edmund’s sight. "Uncle, I didn’t expect you to be so useful. It seems I’ll have to make good use of you as my tool in the future."
"Just listen to what you’re saying." Dustin responded impatiently. "Either study diligently or practice martial arts seriously. Don’t wander around aimlessly all the time and waste your great talent."
"Uncle, I’ve been training all day. Don’t you understand the importance of work–life balance? I should at least take a break, right?" Abigail raised her head proudly. "Considering that you helped me once, I’ll treat you to something tonight!"
Dustin shook his head and couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
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 music bar. Compared to the lively and noisy atmosphere of a karaoke bar, the music bar was quieter. Friends could sit together, drink, chat, and listen 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 thought 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 exquisite features. She looked pure and innocent, like a fairy. With just a glance, she could capture a person’s attention.
"Sorry, we’re late. Abigail approached them with a smile and took the opportunity 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 here. 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 to drink and sing?" Mike seemed displeased.
