Chapter-70

"What?" Rat exclaimed in surprise as clarity washed over him. No wonder 

he's so skilled at fighting. I can't believe I just messed with someone out of 

my league. Damn you Mr. Webber for not informing me earlier. I even gave 

you a beer bottle. 

"Manny, I'm sorry. It was just a friendly fire. I apologize to you on behalf of 

Rat." Samuel bowed slightly, regarding Emmanuel with the utmost 

respect. 

"Apologize to her if that's what you want to do." Emmanuel pointed at 

Xylie. "Forgive my bluntness, but all of you are only capable of bullying 

women. You're not up to the mark to lay even a finger on me." 

The crowd around them gasped in surprise. 

Those words weren't particularly hurtful, but they were extremely 

–humiliating, and yet Rat and his party didn't dare to utter a word. 

Samuel even bowed and laughed. "You're right. Thank you for showing 

mercy, Manny." 

Taking in that scene, Xylie admired Emmanuel even more. This man is so 

formidable! 

"Come. Since we're all here, let's have a few more drinks tonight. Out of 

blows, our friendship grows. Haha!" Samuel pulled Emmanuel to sit down 

and enjoy alcohol together. 

" 

Emmanuel was a man who valued loyalty. Since Samuel had shown him 

respect earlier, he had to reciprocate. 

After a few drinks, Samuel learned the entire story. It turned out Emmanuel 

and Rat had a big fight over a bargirl. 

"Haha! Manny, you have good taste!" Samuel immediately pushed Xylie 

next to Emmanuel, causing her tender body to press tightly against him. 

"Serve Manny well, and I'll reward you with ten thousand!" 

"I-" Xylie hesitated and didn't refuse at once. 

"Mr. Webber, you've misunderstood. I-" Emmanuel wanted to decline, but 

Samuel and the other men started clamoring. 

"Misunderstood? Don't tell me you're not satisfied with just one girl? Haha! 

In that case, let's have two girls to accompany him! Manager, make the 

arrangement!" 

Worried they would complicate things, Emmanuel quickly waved his hand 

and stood up. 

As he got to his feet, Xylie subconsciously followed suit. 

The manager was also a competent and tactful person. If it hadn't been 

for Emmanuel, their bar would have surely been thrashed. 

3/5 

Moreover, seeing how Emmanuel was able to be on such good terms with 

Samuel at such a young age, the manager figured Emmanuel must be 

influential and needed to be treated well. 

"Mr. Lowe, the private room is ready for you." The manager swiftly 

approached Emmanuel and Xylie. 

Xylie kept her head down, blushing but not refusing. 

Milani, standing at one side, mocked Yoel, "Ha! Your goddess is gone. How 

should I describe this? It's like sending the girl you like to a lion's den!" 

Yoel was brokenhearted and deeply upset. 

Nevertheless, he wasn't someone as foolish as Milani. He could tell 

Emmanuel wasn't a lecher. 

Besides, since Xylie didn't rebuff Emmanuel, that implied she felt safer with 

Emmanuel. That was certainly better than her being bullied by those 

ruffians. 

"Haha!" Samuel hurriedly shoved Emmanuel and Xylie into the private 

room. "Manny, enjoy yourself tonight! Consider this a return of the favor for 

the time you helped me earn three million!" 

"Hey-" Emmanuel still wanted to resist, but Samuel closed the door and 

locked it from outside. 

Click! 

The door was shut, leaving Emmanuel and Xylie alone inside the room. 

The atmosphere instantly turned ambiguous. 

Xylie instinctively clutched her chest as her clothes had been torn earlier. 

"Are you all right?" Although Emmanuel had a lot of alcohol, he was 

actually more composed than Xylie because he had never harbored any 

improper thoughts toward women. 

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me!" she replied shyly. 

"I'm glad to hear that." Emmanuel smiled. "Let me introduce a friend to 

you. In fact, he's the one who asked me to help you…" 

He took out his phone as he spoke, wanting to contact Yoel to come in. 

However, when he looked at the screen, Emmanuel realized his phone had 

run out of battery.
