The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer by Dream Searcher

Chapter 221

Soren hadn’t drunk much and was still conscious, but his face had already started to turn slightly red. His eyes also glistened with a new intensity.

“Do you still want to spend some time with your former coursemates?” Soren asked me when he noticed the crowd beginning to leave, some still chatting with their friends.

My heart raced as I looked at him. “I need to go back to my table to collect my stuff.”

“Okay, go ahead. I’ve still got some things to take care of, but I’ll call you when I’m ready to leave later.”

Once again, I insisted, “I can go back home myself if you’re busy. You don’t need to trouble yourself.”

“It’s no trouble,” he replied. “I’m just going to spend some time with my coursemates.”

Soren looked straight into my eyes with a faint smile as he asked, “Are you worried I might do something unthinkable because I’m drunk?”

My face flushed instantly, and I shook my head. “No, I know you’re not that kind of person.”

His smile grew wider as he stared at me even more intently. “You shouldn’t trust men too much, no matter how gentlemanly they seem.”

“Umm…” I wasn’t sure how to respond.

What was he implying? Was he saying he might try something just because he’d been drinking? Should I leave the academy with him if that were the case?
