Chapter 13: Spirytus
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Reyes asked the butler for Toya’s phone number. He hesitated when he filled in the caller ID.
He had thought of countless ways to address her, but with her current identity, all of these titles were stuck in his throat, and he was unable to spit out a single one.
While he was hesitating, he accidentally pressed the dial button. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and hung up.
He put down his phone. The caller ID was empty.
The bar was very quiet in the morning.
After cleaning up the trash left behind by the guests who had partied here the night before, the waiter was filling the counter with all kinds of alcohol.
When Reyes wasn’t going to class, he was either racing or drinking.
He was easy to find.
Sullivan walked around the bar and saw his friend who had blacklisted him.
He walked over and wanted to punch Reyes from behind.
However, when he thought about how this unlucky child had just met his future stepmother and might not be in a good mood, he stretched out his clenched fist again. His strength was also lessened, and he only patted him lightly.
“I knew you were here, boy.”
He sat down next to Reyes, who gave him a frown, as if he was unhappy at being disturbed.
Reyes had long legs. When he came to a bar, he usually sat on a high platform or a sofa without a table in front of him. He could stretch out his legs in these positions to make himself comfortable.
Today, he was sitting on a high platform because he needed the bar in front of him to have a computer.
The bar was much brighter during the day than at night, but it was still a little dim. In such an environment, the light from the computer screen was a little blinding.
The reflection of the wine glass beside him seemed to be filled with stars and it was sparkling with light.
Reyes was still brooding over Sullivan’s “having a brother.” He didn’t want to talk to him now.
Sullivan was used to his scowl and chose to ignore his unfriendly expression.
He questioned righteously, “Did you blacklist me?”
“I don’t remember what I said that made Young Master Reyes so angry.”
Sullivan pulled a nearby bar stool over as the waitress set him a glass.
Reyes ordered a CHOYA, a bottle of fruit wine that wasn’t very high in terms of alcohol content, and Sullivan asked for another bottle of Rickards.
“Do you still want me to help you woo Toya?”
Reyes finally had a reaction. He looked at Sullivan and felt speechless.
Sullivan was baffled.
He felt that Reyes should not have such an expression.
Reyes felt that this situation was not something a playboy like Sullivan could solve.
He said with mixed feelings, “I don’t need you anymore.”
His biggest problem now was not getting Toya to like him.
He was indeed unruly. He was stubborn and liked to lose his temper, and he did not have much respect for Butler. However, he was not a scoundrel to the point of wanting to snatch his biological father’s wife.
Although he really wanted to find out the real reason behind their engagement, he knew very well that even if he did, there was nothing he could do.
All he could do was comfort himself that Toya had not married Butler because of love.
They were already engaged.
They were already fiance and fiancee.
Sullivan froze.
Damn, the Lycan was gone?
The bait that Reyes used to fish him was out of the question?
He couldn’t believe it.
“Reyes, what’s wrong with you? What do you mean you don’t need me anymore?” Sullivan was exasperated and stopped drinking.
“I just don’t need you anymore.” Reyes was already unhappy enough, and now he was even more impolite.
Sullivan, unable to calm down, pointed at him.
Reyes had asked him to help chase after Toya last night, but this morning, he had said that he didn’t need him anymore. He couldn’t have won her over with his own strength in such a short time, could he?
If he really managed to win her heart, he would not be in this state today.
It was as if he had grown thorns all over his body.
Most likely, this fellow had a change of heart.
Who would have thought that Butler, such a devoted man, would give birth to a playboy?!
Sullivan couldn’t help cursing under his breath at the thought that Lycan was gone.
He had completely forgotten that he was also a playboy.
He nodded vehemently. “Good! Very good! Are you having fun toying with me?”
Reyes didn’t feel very guilty, but he tried to explain. “I didn’t mean to upset you.”
Sullivan wasn’t appeased. He called the waitress over. “Is Spirytus available?”
The waiter nodded.
It was impossible for a bar owner to not have this.
“Get him a bottle.”
The waiter glanced at Reyes hesitantly.
hesitantly was a distilled vodka with an alcohol content as high as 96%. It was the world’s highest alcohol content and the strongest alcohol. Ordinary people would instantly become numb and dehydrated after tasting it.
This kind of wine was used by the bar to make cocktails. It had never been sold on its own. After all, it had no special taste other than being strong.
No matter how good Reyes was at drinking, he couldn’t handle a bottle of Spirytus.
He refused. “Do you have such a huge grudge?”
Sullivan pointed at the two bottles of fruit wine on the table. “You can drink with these two bottles. Just get drunk..”
