The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 69

"Who could it be? Everyone who's supposed to be here is already here." A slightly perplexed voice sounded in the private room.

With that, the young man opened the door. His actions were so rough that some beer spilled from his glass. "See who's here?"

Amidst the slight smell of alcohol, Jacob looked into the room impassively.

In the big room, around a dozen young men and women were sitting around a round table with scrumptious food on it.

"Haha! Jacob, I told them you are coming, but none of them believed me!" Geoffrey stood up and waved to him. "Why are you still standing there? Come in and have a seat!"

Jacob looked at his old classmates' faces that he almost forgot before he gave a polite smile. "Sorry for being late."

With his appearance, the atmosphere in the room took a slightly awkward turn. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

After all, he only stayed in university for around two years, so he was not as close to them as others.

Fortunately, everyone was grownups now, so they became familiar with each other after having a few conversations.

The head of the class, Colin Ramos, who organized this event, showed Jacob to his spot at the table. In no time, the atmosphere slowly became comfortable and amicable again.

The thin man who welcomed Jacob with a beer in his hand just now was Harry Barlow. He came from a well-off background, so he shared similar topics with Jacob, who also came from a wealthy family back then.

Hence, he was quite excited to see Jacob there.

With David sitting in between them, he raised his glass to give a toast. "Here's a toast to you, Jay!"

David smiled warmly as he poured some beer for Jacob.

When he was filling the glass up, someone said loudly, "David, it must be full to the brim! Jacob is late, so he must at least drink three glasses first!"

Startled by them, David's hand jolted, causing some beer to spill over.

"F*ck, David! Are you drunk after a few glasses of beer?" A rather rude voice rang.

Following the source of the voice, Jacob saw that it came from someone who used to bully David back in school, Matt Cress. As soon as he saw Matt, a cold look glistened in his eyes.

Back when they were in university, they were enemies.

However, at the current age, Jacob would brush their previous animosity off and regarded that as their youthful immaturity, unless Matt decided to antagonize him.

"Jay, here's one for you." Harry brought his glass to Jacob's glass on the table before he gulped it down

in one go.

"Good one, Harry!" A few people sitting next to them, who were just following their conversation, bellowed. "Jacob, look at Harry's sincerity! Now, what about you?"

Jacob nodded and followed suit, gulping down the contents of the glass in one go.

"Hey, don't drink too much! This beer is strong. You'll get drunk easily."

Sitting opposite to them, Matt remarked sarcastically, "What a good pair of buddies! But David, didn't you say to go to the washroom just now? Did you release yourself by the door?"

"Ew! We're eating here!" A girl next to him complained.

Matt gave a wave before he walked over with his glass filled with beer. "Here, David, let's continue the round just now."

This situation looked similar to their time in school. Even after six years, David was still the same honest man. With a pained look on his face, he pressed his hands together before saying, "Matt, just let me off the hook. I can't take it anymore."

Just like before, Jacob could not stand seeing other people being bullied. His eyebrows arched slightly as he said, "Here, let me drink with you instead."

"You?" Matt pouted. "All of us have started drinking since the beginning. If you were to start drinking with me, you have to drink three glasses first! Otherwise, just be good and sit there!"

Hearing his impolite tone, the head of the class, Colin, frowned slightly.
