Chapter 641

Glen, who was normally a rational person, lost all his composure in an explosion

of anger.

Pax raised his wine glass and tried to give him a toast. "Don't be angry, Glen. Here, have some wine to take the edge off."

Glen responded by shoving Pax aside and yelling at him, "Fuck off!"

Things wouldn't have turned out this way if it weren't for Pax and Tony. Glen even delivered a powerful kick to Pax in his fit of anger, causing Pax to fall miserably to the ground, though he did not dare to retaliate. To the side, Tony's face had drained of color, and he quickly hid himself in a corner to avoid Glen's wrath. Naturally, Jack, Zane, and the others were unaware of the chaos that was unfolding within the hotel. The air outside was crisp and refreshing. Frank had already left with Lucius and his party, leaving Jack and the others behind.

With gratitude warming his heart, Jack turned to look at Zane, Neil, and the others. He said, "Thank you for backing me up today."

Neil couldn't help himself and smacked his fist lightly against Jack's chest. "What are you thanking us for? Do you really need to be so formal with us considering our tight bond? Who's going to help you out if not for us? Besides, their attitudes were way too horrible, and they were practically trying to insult our intelligence."

Leo nodded and added, "I didn't think that Glen was that type of person. I see him for who he really is now."

"He has turned into someone completely unrecognizable after spending a few years abroad," Zane muttered as he sighed to himself.

"To be honest, I've never liked how those who studied in Angleria carried themselves. They think they're better than everyone else just because they went abroad and learned how to ballroom dance. All those bastards scorned me because I didn't know how to dance. It's fucking ridiculous," complained Leo.

Jack smiled and said, "I'm sure everyone didn't get to have their fill of food earlier because of what happened. Why don't we find somewhere to sit down and keep eating? You guys can decide on the place. My treat."

Besides, it was difficult to fill their bellies since they were attending a birthday banquet. After hearing Jack's words, everyone present realized that their stomachs were feeling a little empty, so all of them responded enthusiastically to Jack's suggestion.

Neil exclaimed excitedly. "Great idea! I need to find a way to get rid of my bad mood anyway. Since you've made such a gracious offer, then I have no choice but to take you up on it and eat till your bank account is empty!"

"Perfect!" Zane agreed. "Even better if the place serves white wine. The red wine that they were serving at the banquet earlier was so bland. I'm not a fan of the wines that are brought in from abroad, so I was pretty annoyed."

Charlotte nodded and chimed in, "I haven't drank in quite some time. I'm going to drink every single one of you under the table today!"

The group chattered joyfully amongst themselves as they made their way toward a nearby restaurant and enjoyed a feast together.

Gratitude overflowed from Jack's heart. Compared to Zane and the others, Jack was just a regular citizen, making the difference in status between them all the more prominent. But Zane's, Neil's and the others' sincerity had made it possible to bridge the yawning distance between them, allowing them to become real friends.

Of course, Jack couldn't forget Leo, the man who was willing to take a knife for him, who he had formed an unbreakable bond with.

The life of a student was innocent and filled with wonderful moments, even if there are bumps here and there along the journey.

Jack hoped that the genuine friendships he shared with these people would be able to stand the test of time. He hoped that even if they were to go their own ways to find their purpose in different corners of the world, they would still keep these warm memories close to their hearts.

Meanwhile, in Tarthy City, Emily and Quintis were taking a leisurely stroll in the garden of their estate. They could see the bustling town of Seresto in the distance.

Since it was nearing the new year, excitement permeated the surrounding air. Even those who were standing atop a mountain could see how Seresto was bathed in a kaleidoscope of colors as fireworks exploded and lit up the sky above it. It was a breathtakingly beautiful sight to behold. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ FіndNovel.net
