Even if he disregarded how his men caught fire, he could not explain how his own clothes kept spontaneously combusting. Furthermore, there was something suspicious about the man he was fighting. At this thought, Freddy raised his head to look at Christopher. When his clothes caught fire earlier, everyone was shocked except for Christopher, who remained incongruously calm, as if he knew it would happen. Moreover, when Freddy plunged his knife into Christopher’s thigh, not only did Christopher not dodge it, he didn’t even look pained. Just how stalwart is this young man? Clearly, Freddy had bitten off more than he could chew—Christopher wasn’t someone he could afford to offend. “Let’s go!” After a moment of thought, he told his men, “This jerk is too troublesome. Retreat!” However, his instruction, in turn, made the men confused. Troublesome? How is Christopher troublesome? His men didn’t think so. The fire was extinguished now, anyway, so why should we retreat? “Boss…” One of the ruffians spoke up but Freddy backhanded him and interrupted, saying, “Who’s the boss—me or you? I said let’s go! Did you hear me?”“Yes, sir!” After being backhanded for no reason, the ruffian felt a little wronged but he dared not speak up again. Instead, he walked away dejectedly as he clutched his cheek like an injured child. Having witnessed the scene, the other men did not dare to say anything either. Instead, they fled in embarrassment. Before Freddy left, he did not forget to give Christopher a tight-lipped glare before making his escape. Not long after Freddy left, the crowd erupted into cheers. However, before Christopher could bask in the praise of others, the voice in his mind spoke up. Ding! “Congratulations to the Host for spotting injustice and saving others in danger! You have received 2,000 thumbs-up points!” 2,000 thumbs-up? His heart leaped in ecstasy the moment he heard how many thumbs-up points the system was dispensing. While he knew he would likely get thumbs-ups for saving Samantha, he did not expect to receive so many points. Two thousand points meant 20 lucky draw chances and rounded up, they could be worth a billion bucks in total. I am going to be rich! “Thank you for saving me again!” While he was still calculating the riches 20 lucky draw chances could get him, Samantha walked up to him and addressed him with her head bowed. With a smile, he answered, “I wouldn’t say that I saved you. Their clothes caught fire on their own and I don’t know how that happened.” Knowing that the situation required discretion more than loud boasting, he kept his contribution low-key. “Regardless of what happened, thank you,” she insisted, lifting her head to gaze earnestly at him. “Twice. In less than 24 hours, you’ve helped me twice.” “You’re being too polite.” For some reason, the pure but sincere gaze was starting to make him nervous. “It wasn’t a big deal.” “It is a big deal!” she persisted. “If you didn’t appear at the right moment each time, I—” As if she was made of water, she burst into tears out of nowhere. Fortunately, she stopped after a while and asked timidly, as if she thought of something, “Will you walk me home?” “I beg your pardon?” Because of how soft her voice was, he could not hear her question clearly. “I said, will you walk me home?” she repeated more loudly and she explained with a blush, “With how I appear right now, I’m afraid of running into yet another bad guy.” This wasn’t the kind of request he could refuse. Therefore, he nodded in acquiescence without thinking about it. It turned out she didn’t live too far away and after a little more than 10 minutes, they reached a small, visibly worn apartment building. “This is me,” she told him, still looking incredibly shy. Since he didn’t know what else to tell her, he answered, “Okay!” In truth, while he didn’t have any other intentions for sending her home, he still felt reluctant to walk away for some reason. Nevertheless, he was prepared to depart like a gentleman, leaving nothing behind but a trace of his presence, until she spoke up with a question that excited him immensely. “Would you like to come up for a drink?” she asked softly. … Like his bachelor’s pad, her apartment was small and plainly furnished. Apart from an old television set, she did not have a single decent electrical appliance at her place. However, he felt very restless right now—too restless. Therefore, he pushed open the wine-colored wooden door and walked out onto the balcony. A cool breeze blew upon him, soothing his jittery nerves. If he were to be honest with himself, he truly admired his own ability to remain calm in this circumstance. Despite having dated Tina for three years, he was still utterly virginal when it came to sleeping with women.Later that night, somehow, he managed to leave Samantha’s apartment. After the evening they had, he was in a daze, with lewd images of their time together occasionally flashing in his mind’s eye. As he went down the stairs, he looked at the avatar of a toy poodle on her Facebook profile and he felt like spring had arrived for him. Swoosh! Just then, he received a Facebook message. Once he opened it, he discovered that it was from Samantha.
