Aria rolled her eyes. “I’m fine. You managed to make it in time, but you’re still paying for my dress.“”


    “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay,” Blondie chirped fawningly.


    When they returned to their private room, Winter went up and asked, “What took you guys so long,


    Jean?”


    Blondie appeared exceedingly smug as he proimed, “There was this bastard messing with Aria. I


    had to straighten him out.”


    Jean sighed but nodded.


    “What? You were in a fight?” Winter asked in concern.


    “Don’t worry, Winter–it’s no big deal.” Blondie patted his chest confidently. “It’s just some thug. I’ll deal


    with him if hees again.


    Winter did not pry since Blondie sounded confident enough, though Jean remained a little on edge.


    Still, after the mess before, the friends yed around for a while before preparing to leave.


    That was when someone kicked open the door, and Crew Cut strode in.


    Everyone was immediately left dumbstruck, the music in the private karaoke room suddenly stopping,


    leaving it eerily silent.


    Still, Blondie promptly leapt to his feet. “Shit, you’re back for more? Let’s go!”


    Crew Cut did not look particrly buff, so Blondie was not particrly worried.


    “That’s the one, boss!” Crew Cut suddenly yelled, pointing at Blondie.


    A bald, burly man strode in at his words, followed by a gang of goons numbering just over a dozen.


    Each of them were armed with baseball bats and other weapons!


    Blondie was immediately left dumbstruck.


    He did not expect Crew Cut to be so unfair, bringing so many of his friends!


    Still, he was immediately cowed and averted his eyes, seeing that the gang were all clearly thewless


    type.


    The bald man–Kait Wooper- grabbed Blondie by the cor right then. “You’re the one who hit my friend,


    huh?”


    Blondie’s earliest confidence waspletely gone as he stammered, “No, it’s just a


    misunderstanding… He was messing with my ssmate, so I had to do something…”


    Smack!


    Kait pped Blondie across the face, sending him wobbling and almost dropping to the floor.


    “And? Who was he messing with? Show her to me!” Kait snapped.


    The students were all silent, while Blondie trembled as he pointed at Aria.


    Aria red viciously at him in turn–and here she thought what a man he had been, standing up against


    Crew Cut.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    And now, he caved as soon as Crew Cut brought his boss!


    Kait turned toward Aria as well and beckoned her over.


    Aria was too scared to disobey and gingerly walked over the shards on the floor as she said tentatively,


    “Sir… It’s none of my business. I did not hit your friend.”


    Kait simply pulled her into his arms, his eyes shing with lust as he studied her, “So, my friend was


    messing with you, was he?”


    Aria gulped, unsure what to say for a moment.


    After some thought, she shook her head. “N–No…”


    Kait nodded in satisfaction. “Well, since he didn’t, don’t you think your ssmate went too far by hitting


    my friend?”


    Aria nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes… He was way out of line. I’m sorry for what he did.”
