Chapter 61: The Distressed Dam

Dam has been having mixed feelings lately.

Looking at the packed backpack, there was a hint of timidity in his eyes. Although the guy who had bullied him had apologized to him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Dam, hurry up! Today is your first day back at school, cheer up!"

The fat father of Danm looked slightly gloomy. Looking at Danm's hesitant expression, he was furious. How could he, who had always been strong-willed, give birth to such a cowardly son!
"Okay, Dad!"

After packing up, Dan got into his father's antique car, and sped away with the roar of the engine.

Highland High School, as the most prestigious private high school in Gotham, gathers most of the common and aristocratic students in the music world.

Danm walked in the campus corridor with his head down, quickly glancing at the students who were laughing and walking around the campus, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Having attended this school for two years, he knows that this school is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

He quickened his pace, and suddenly his body staggered forward. He slowly put the backpack that had fallen to the ground back on his back, his face flushed red.

"Pfft! Look at that guy!"

"Isn't that Dam? My goodness, how long has it been since I last saw him? I almost forgot about him!"

With the conversations coming one after another, Dan couldn't help but rush to the classroom quickly.

Only after he sat down at his seat did he heave a sigh of relief and look at his friend Kate sitting at the next table. At this moment, Kate was staring intently at the book, looking completely unaware.

"Hi?"

Danm couldn't help but call out softly, but Kate just glanced at him lightly, then turned her head and continued reading, which made Danm feel a little embarrassed.

boom!
With a dull slap, Dam's upper body fell forward slightly and hit the edge of the table heavily. He looked back in shock.

"Dam, you're finally back?"

The blond boy patted Danm's back hard, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Sam, I've forgiven you, please don't bother me anymore!"

Danm gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice, his face slightly pale.

"Yes, yes! You forgot that Dam has the famous Bruce Wayne as his friend! He doesn't even think highly of people like us!"

As the boy couldn't help but shout loudly, everyone in the classroom looked over with laughter.

This scene made Danm clasp his hands tightly together, with an extremely ugly look on his face.

After patting Dam's shoulder hard again, the blond man walked away with his two companions behind him, occasionally talking about Dam's past embarrassing moments, causing others to laugh at him.

"..."

Dam spent this difficult day with a pale face, looking at his former partner, however, he did not get any response even though he signaled several times.

He couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

The sunlight shines from the east corner to the west corner of the teaching building.

Dam didn't know how he left the school. He slowly pushed open the familiar door. Hearing passionate laughter mixed with shouts, a smile appeared on his face again.

Looking at Lin Jue walking among the crowd, he smiled and rushed to Emily's bar.

He took Emily's wine tray as usual and started helping to serve the wine.

"Dam, I heard you went to school. How was it? You must have had a great time today, right?"

Emily couldn't help but quip.

"Not bad! Everyone is very enthusiastic!" Danm smiled and spoke very quickly. After responding to Emily's words, he hurriedly delivered the wine tray to the corresponding desk. "Woo! I want to go to school too!" Emily grumbled, but looking at the busy bar, she showed a relieved expression.

After about an hour, Dan slowly sat down at the dining table and began to drink by himself.

He looked at the bustling crowd in the bar with a deep gaze, feeling a rare comfort in his heart.

Lin Jue put the discarded empty bottles of the guests into the wine box one by one, and quickly shuttled between the tables.

"Good guy, Lin, you are the most capable employee I have ever seen!" A middle-aged man with a long beard couldn't help but admire. In such a big pub, Lin Jue was busy from morning to afternoon, and he had no intention of stopping to rest, which made a middle-aged man who was also a shop owner envious. He envied Emily for having such a capable employee!

There is no way. There is no harm without comparison. Compared with the guys in his store, Lin Jue has no complaints about his high-frequency work. However, his own employees leave on time at four o'clock in the afternoon and have no intention of making more contributions to the store.

"Ha! Thank you for the compliment!"

Lin Jue smiled. Working for several hours did not make him tired at all. He slowly put the last empty bottle into the wine box. He stretched and walked towards Dan's dining table.

"Hi!"

When Dam saw Lin Jue coming, his eyes lit up and he quickly poured the whiskey in his hand slowly into the glass beside him.

Lin Jue took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Feeling the burning taste in his throat, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face.

"Lin, when are you going to school?"

"?"

Danm looked excited, and it suddenly occurred to him that it would be very interesting if Lin Jue went to school.

"I heard it from Emily. She asked me about our school before. Compared with normal public schools, our school is more relaxed in admitting new students because it is a private school.

And from what I've seen, Emily's tavern is doing so well. Thanks to the deterrence of the Judgment Council, the business will definitely get better and better. The current income is enough to hire some employees!"

Looking at Dam's leisurely manner of talking, Lin Jue did not show much interest. At the moment, he just wanted to become stronger steadily, strong enough to not be afraid of any threat.

Thanks to the previous deterrence, the number of crimes near Hualier Street has been greatly reduced during this period, so much so that he went out to enjoy the cold wind at night these days and ran back in a hurry.

Now he feels that he can expand his business to a larger scale.

Just as the two of them were thinking about their own things, a graceful figure slowly came over and sat down beside Lin Jue.

Dam, who was originally speaking with great excitement, froze for a moment, and then his expression turned serious.

"Hello there!"

"Hello there!"

Somewhat flattered, Dan shook hands with Patrina and experienced the restlessness of adolescence for the first time.

Under the British-style western hat, Patrina's face was calm, her long legs slowly crossed together, and her eyes were looking directly at Lin Jue, who was deep in thought and no one knew what he was thinking about.

She casually took the wine glass from Lin Jue's hand and drank the remaining whiskey in it. Her action finally caught Lin Jue's attention.

"Lin, are you interested in taking a walk together tonight?"

"Why do you say that?"

Lin Jue frowned slightly, realizing that the elegant woman in front of him seemed to know something.

"..."

Danm stared at the two of them blankly, his eyes subconsciously looking towards the bar's booth. A small head was staring blankly at this side, and seemed to notice his gaze, then quickly turned away...
