Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 378 +25 Bonus Astrid was surrounded by three men . She looked tipsy , her balance wavering . When one of them pressed a glass to her lips , she shut her mouth tightly , too weak to resist any more than that . At least she was still sober enough to push his hand away before he could touch her again , though it was clear she was losing that fight . I frowned . " Piece of shit ! " I snapped , lunging forward to knock his hand aside and pull Astrid into my arms . Astrid flinched , mistaking Sebastian for Kyle . " Let me go ! " she cried and struggled against his grip . " It's me .

Do you want me to leave you here ? " Sebastian asked , looking down at her . She blinked at me through heavy , unfocused eyes . " S - Sebastian ? " she slurred . " N - No ... Get me out of here ... " Her body went slack as she relaxed in his arms . " Hey , asshole ! Can't you see she's one of us ? Get your own drunk girl , you dog ! " one of the men barked . " Yeah ! You can't just take her ! " another added . All three were on their feet now , faces red , fists ready . " Back off before you really piss me off , " I growled .

Kyle's eyes blazed , and he shouted , " Who the hell do you think you are ? She's one of us . We're colleagues ! You're the one trying to take advantage of her ! " He cracked his knuckles , and his friends mirrored him , stepping closer . I wasn't worried . Three drunk men didn't scare me . I squared my shoulders , ready if they tried anything . Then a familiar voice called out , light and surprised . " Mr. Grimwald ? Is that you ? " I turned and saw a young man approaching . It was one of our new recruits . " Tom Huxley ? " His face lit up . " That's right , sir ! You remembered !

We only met once at dinner ! " His smile faded as he took in the scene - me holding Astrid , the men bristling around us . " What's going on here ? " he asked . " My father owns this bar , so it's my bar too . Let me help settle this . " Kyle jumped in immediately . " That guy grabbed my colleague ! He's been eyeing her all night , and the moment he came in , he snatched her up ! We can't let perverts think they're safe here , can we ? He should be thrown out ! " 1/2 Chapter 378 +25 Bonus He pointed at me , face twisted with false outrage . " Look at him ! He won't even let her go !

" His friends chimed in , echoing his accusation . " That's not true , " Astrid said suddenly , her voice hoarse but clear . " I called him . I told him to come save me . They were the ones trying to take advantage of me . " D ADMINJ
