“Who the hell is calling?! So annoying!” Renee snapped as she stumbled around. She was rather


    frustrated by the constant ringing of her phone, and just threw it away as a solution.


    “Hey, why did you throw your phone away?” Rosie groaned, trying to keep Renee steady as she picked


    up her phone from the ground.


    The person on the other end of the line was quite stubborn as well. They kept calling, especially since


    Renee was not picking up.


    Helpless, Rosie had to answer the call instead. “Hello? Who is this?”


    “You’re not Everheart.”


    “Umm, I’m her friend. She’s had a bit too much to drink, so she can’te to the phone right now.”


    “She’s drunk?” The voice sounded extremely icy. “Where are you?”


    “I’m at this pub in Water Dock. Who are y-“


    “Take care of her, I’ll be there in a minute!” The man ordered harshly as he ignored Rosie’s words,


    hanging up right after.


    “Ah…” Rosie was utterly stunned, still holding onto the weak Renee. She didn’t know if she should


    leave or wait for the man. He had sounded quite intimidating, so she didn’t dare leave, even if she


    wanted to.


    “Miss Everheart, wake up! Do you recognize this number? He’sing over soon.” Rosie hesitated for


    a while, and decided that it was best to ask for Renee’s opinion on this matter.


    “This number…” Renee stared at the screen groggily. “I don’t know who that is, he must be a bad guy!


    We can’t let hime over!”


    “A bad guy? Let’s leave right away then, we can’t let him find us.” Rosie was rmed, and quickly


    dragged Renee towards the exit. As they were making their way out, she nearly bumped into a tipsy,


    muscr man.

    Seeing how gorgeous Renee was, desire immediately shed in the man’s eyes. He smirked at her


    and said smoothly, “Hey there, beautiful! What a coincidence, huh? We’re both drunk! You’re the


    prettiest girl I’ve ever seen, you know? Since fate clearly brought us together, would you like to have a


    ss of wine with me?”


    “Please, have some respect, sir! She’s not that kind of person!” Rosie warned as she blocked the man


    with one arm, her expression cold. She had worked many different jobs to pay for her son’s medical


    bills previously, and had been in many pubs and clubs like this.


    With her experience, she knew exactly what kind of intentions these types of men had.


    “Shut it. I’m not talking to you, so don’t get involved!” Max forcefully pushed Rosie aside and turned to


    his friend. “Ed, you’re into chicks like this right? Take her then, and make sure she doesn’t get in my


    way!”


    “How dare you hurt my friend?” Renee sobered up slightly when she heard the perverted man’s words.


    Despite being dizzy, she was still able to send the two-hundred-pound man flying with one kick.


    “Oh my god! It’s a fight!” The entire pub instantly erupted into chaos, with excited screamsing from


    the crowd.


    After all, this was the infamous Water Dock, a ce notorious forwlessness. Additionally, the bar


    they were in had a lot of shady characters around. A fight was considered entertainment to them, so


    the crowd was very much looking forward to it.
