Chapter 170 I Need Your Help!
[Part 4/4 of today's Mass release! Here you go fellas! See you tomorrow!]
Hugo sighed deeply, running a hand through his messy hair as he stared at the puzzle. The stickman drawing kept flashing in his mind like a bad meme.
Walking over to the window of his dorm room, he leaned against the cold glass, gazing out at the dimly lit campus.
The chilly air seeped through the cracks, making him shiver slightly.
His thoughts wandered back to Loli. He remembered how utterly terrified she had been when he'd desperately threatened to reveal her secret during the test if she hadn't showed him the answers to the questions.
The way she'd fidgeted, her wide eyes filled with panic. He had even been happy that his little trick had worked...
Then there was that moment in her dorm room—how nervous she'd been when he'd tried to build tension, leaning in almost close enough to kiss her.
She had been so close to screaming out or even fainting, and he had had no clue how bad the depth of his actions truly were.
Hugo groaned, smacking his forehead.
"I'm an idiot," he muttered. "No... I'm the King of Idiots. Actually, scratch that—I'm the
Emperor of Idiots.
"Who goes around tormenting someone like that? I'm basically a Disney villain, minus the catchy songs. And the pointy nose. And the ridiculously long chin. And the stupid sidekicks."
He paced back and forth, shaking his head. "And she didn't even punch me! If someone did that to me, I'd have drop kicked them out of a window. She's too nice. Tolerant. Saint level patience."
He stopped pacing and stared at the sky outside. "I swear, Loli, I'm gonna make it up to you. No more teasing, no more threats. From now on, I'm—"
Ding!
His phone buzzed loudly, interrupting his moment of repentance. Frowning, Hugo grabbed it from the desk. The message was from Sanchez. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire
[Sanchez: Yo Hez, I need your help!]
Hugo raised an eyebrow. His already solemn face became even more grim. Sanchez never used proper punctuation. This was serious!
The next part of the message was a flood of pleading emojis—hands clasped together, crying faces, even one random praying emoji thrown in for good measure.
For a final touch, he'd slipped on his ABCD ring set, just in case things needed a little extra flair or he had to get serious.
Taking a deep breath, Hugo pushed open the heavy glass door and stepped inside.
The warm interior greeted him with soft golden lighting, the gentle hum of conversation, and the faint aroma of roasted spices and fresh herbs.
Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and the walls were decorated with elegant murals of rolling vineyards and blooming orchards.
Waiters in sharp uniforms glided between tables, carrying silver trays with dishes that looked like they belonged in a museum.
Hugo barely had time to take it all in before his eyes landed on Sanchez. His cousin was sitting at a table near the back of the restaurant... and across from him were two girls.
Two exquisite girls.
Hugo couldn't see their faces—they were sitting with their backs to him—but even from behind, they looked stunning.
One had long, flowing hair that shimmered like silk under the light, while the other's short, stylish cut framed her elegant slender neck.
Hugo froze, blinking. "What the...? They're too beautiful, even from the back! Is Sanchez pulling off some kind of double date?!"
He couldn't help but get a little excited at the thought.
Before he could form another thought, Sanchez spotted him and waved frantically. The sheer desperation on his cousin's face sent alarm bells ringing in Hugo's head.
"What the hell is going on?" Hugo muttered under his breath as he made his way toward the table, his curiosity—and dread—growing with every step.
