NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34: I'll remember you
"Let her go!" Seeing Elena being bullied, Harry stepped forward angrily, shoved Jian aside, and caught the staggering Elena in his arms.
"Brother-in-law!... Take me home!" Elena, reeking of alcohol, clung tightly to Harry as if afraid he would let her go.
Feeling the warmth of her delicate body in his arms, Harry's anxiety eased slightly. Fortunately, he had arrived in time!
"Who the hell are you? Who let you in?" Jian scowled, glaring at Harry with displeasure. His expression twitched with frustration.
Hearing Elena call him "brother-in-law," Jian immediately guessed Harry's identity but was unwilling to give up so easily. After all, he had been pursuing Elena for over two years, and just when he thought success was within reach, Harry had appeared and ruined everything. His anger surged.
"I'm Elena's brother-in-law. I'm here to take her home! What exactly were you trying to do just now?" Harry's eyes were cold as he stared Jian down.
"You say you're her brother-in-law, but none of us know you! Let Elena go—we'll take her home ourselves!" Jia stepped forward, attempting to pull Elena away, but Harry pushed her back.
"Yes! This is a class reunion, and you suddenly barged in wanting to take our classmate away. How do we know you're telling the truth? What if you're some pervert? Let Elena go! We'll take care of her!" Jian refused to back down, making one last attempt.
Drunk and already slightly hysterical, Jian only had one goal in mind—get Elena into his car and have his way with her. His obsession with her had reached a near-mad level. He was willing to do anything, regardless of the consequences.
"Kid, you're too naive to play games with me."
Harry took out his phone, his voice ice-cold.
"Do you want me to call your teacher and let them handle this? Do you really think I don't know what you were planning just now? You think your teacher won't figure it out? Hmm? Or should I call the police and let them investigate?"
"No!! Don't tell the teacher!! We meant no harm—we just wanted to send Elena home! You misunderstood!" Leah panicked upon hearing Harry mention calling the teacher. Fear gripped her, and she hastily tried to explain, guilt evident in her voice.
"Don't try to scare us with the teacher! Elena is drunk, so what if I send her home? I still don't believe you're really her brother-in-law! Let her go!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Jian's eyes as he signaled to the three hooligans beside him. The four of them coldly surrounded Harry.
Harry took a quick glance at a nearby table, took two steps back, grabbed a beer bottle, and smashed it hard against the table. Holding the sharp, jagged bottleneck, he glared at Jian and his lackeys, his voice like steel,
"Screw you! I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you're already barking at me? You really think I won't make you pay?"
Jian and the others instantly froze, panic flashing across their faces.
Though they acted like gangsters, they were just high school students after all.
Harry might not have been a hardened street fighter, but he had gotten into plenty of fights in high school—even breaking someone's arm once. Dealing with real gangsters might be out of his league, but a few cocky high schoolers? He wasn't afraid of them at all.
Even if they ganged up on him, he wouldn't back down!
"Brother-in-law!! Ignore them!... I want to go home!! Go home!!!" Elena clung to Harry stubbornly, her voice slurred yet determined.
"Give me my sister's phone!" Harry turned his sharp gaze to Jia and extended his hand coldly.
"I was just holding it for her! Here, take it!" Jia, shaken, stepped forward hesitantly and handed the phone over with trembling hands.
Harry snatched it from her grip and shot her a chilling glare.
"I'll remember you."
Then, he turned to Jian and smashed the broken beer bottle onto the ground. His voice was icy as he pointed at them.
"And you! If I ever find out you've bullied my sister again, I swear I'll break your damn legs!"
With that, under the stunned and fearful gazes of the restaurant's students, Harry helped Elena out of the private room, leaving behind a tense silence.
"Elena, are you okay?" Harry carried the drunk Elena into the back seat, holding her soft body in his arms as he asked with concern.
Elena's body appeared plump but wasn't heavy. It felt soft and comfortable in his arms. Her full breasts, long and slender thighs, and a waist so slim it could be held in one hand made her feel weightless in his embrace. There was no trace of excess fat as he held her.
Feeling Elena's soft breathing, tinged with the scent of alcohol, and the warmth of her full, soft breasts pressed against him, Harry's breathing quickened. How could he not be moved with such a drunk and vulnerable beauty in his arms?
It was no wonder that boy had acted so recklessly for Elena. If it were Harry, he felt he might have gone just as crazy for her.
"Brother-in-law! I… wuwuwu…"
As soon as they settled into the back seat of the car, Elena clung to Harry and burst into tears. Crystal-clear tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, dripping onto Harry's bare shoulders, leaving a cool sensation.
Elena cried with a mix of grievance and pain, her sobs wrenching at Harry's heart. No matter who it was, encountering such a situation would be difficult to bear.
Harry had initially wanted to comfort her, but as Elena's soft body pressed tightly against him, her chest trembling with each sob, his thoughts began to wander. His mind was no longer focused on consolation but filled with desire.
He couldn't help but entertain the thought of taking advantage of Elena's drunken state to have his way with her.
[Current state: aggrieved, sad, in pain, drunk, talking, confused, chaotic]
[Complete achievement: Hug from sister-in-law Elena, reward for physical fitness +3 (73 normal)]
[Intimacy: +20 (-20 Vigilance)]
Looking at Elena's current condition, Harry swallowed hard.
