Chapter 780

After Esther entered the bar, she wasted no time and started downing drinks.

After a few glasses, her face turned red, and her words began to slur. She clung to a bottle, hereyes unfocused. "Listen, Mobius is a horrible person. I must have been blind to fall for him."

Pearl could only look at James and frown when she noticed his apparent interest.novelbin

"So, I'll never forgive him. He didn't even come looking for me. I'm sure he stopped loving me a longtime ago… I hate him. I hate his guts!" Esther was so intoxicated that she kept smiling at everyonearound her.

A fat man saw how silly she looked and walked over with a smile. "Are you single? Would you liketo have a drink with me?"

Esther began shouting when he placed his hands on her. "Don't touch me. You're disgusting. Goaway."

The man initially had a smile on his face, but after hearing her words, his eyes widened. "Listen,don't pretend to be a prude, or I'll teach you a lesson!" He raised his hand as if to slap her.

Esther looked up at his hand with twinkling eyes.

Suddenly, the man felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and when he turned to look, the slender man besideEsther had grabbed his wrist, his eyes emanating a terrifying aura.

"Who were you planning to teach a lesson?" The man sounded gentle and nonchalant, but therewas a clear hostility in his tone.

"I don't think I've done anything to you. Why are you doing this?" The man's wrist was throbbingwith pain, but he was at a loss for words.

"I asked you a question. Who were you planning to teach a lesson?" James glared at him with acold expression, the hostility in his eyes getting stronger.

James might have appeared frail, but he had a fearsome side to him.

The man was now trembling with fear and began to plead. "I didn't mean anything by it. I justwanted to have a drink with this beautiful lady. If she's not interested, that's perfectly fine. I'm notforcing her."

James didn't seem inclined to let him off the hook so easily. He released the man's wrist butsuddenly delivered a swift kick that sent him sprawling onto the floor.

The man started howling in pain upon hitting the floor, and everyone in the bar watched him as if hewere a clown. Humiliated, he yelled, "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't need to know, but I know who you touched," James replied calmly.

Esther, too drunk to fully comprehend the situation, had a hunch that this was about her. She asked,"Me?"

James smiled at her. "Yes, you." He switched from fierce to gentle in a blink.

Pearl stood by, watching the events unfold, and decided it was best not to get involved. Besides, itseemed James was quite taken with Esther.

"I'm the boss of Enswood. My men won't let you get away with this if you've offended me," the manthreatened, rolling over, standing up, and pointing his finger at James.

"Who are you pointing at?" James reacted quickly, grabbing the man's finger and bending it withlightning-fast reflexes. A loud crack echoed through the bar as the man's finger broke.

"Argh!!!" The man screamed in agony.
