Bayspring, Starlight Bar.
The music in the bar was deafening, and the lighting dim and ambiguous.
James Anderson sat at a table in the bar's main hall, with his three childhood friends— Li Si, Guo Haishan, and Hu Dong—by his side.
At the moment, they watched as James drank one glass after another, his expression cold and gloomy, and his demeanor desolate without saying a word.
James poured himself another drink and downed it in one gulp. Just as he was about to pour himself another, Mistress quickly grabbed the bottle from him and said, "Hey, hey, James, you invited us out for drinks, but now you're drinking everything yourself. What's this all about?"
After saying this, she took the cups of the other two and filled them with drinks.
James remained silent, staring blankly at the glass in front of him.
