Chapter 64 First Fight Party 6 (1/2)
Of course the match couldn't begin like that. Participants had to remove their shoes and any other articles of clothing that would get in the way. Honestly speaking, It was just an excuse for the guys to show off their muscles as shoes were really the only dangerous thing they had on them thanks to security.
Once the tall idiot had removed his shoes and his shirt, he started flexing to the crowd to show off. This was especially invigorating as everyone was currently indulging themselves in various forms of pleasurable substances. As such, the roaring got louder and louder. The tall idiot continued to show off as music began to play in an effort to really work people up. In this way, it would cause more people to want to bet which would then raise the stakes. For many, high stakes gambling is the ultimate high.
Of course, while this one man show was going on, Laz just calmly sat down and removed his shoes, setting them down next to Kennedy. He then undid his jacket in a unhurried fashion and neatly folded it before beginning to unbutton his shirt. For the few people who were looking on, mostly the guards of the other youths, Laz seemed completely unfazed but the much taller and rowdier man on the stage in front of him. Those watching couldn't help but nod in approval at this young man's calm demeanor. As they knew well, in a fight, a battle or a war, the most important thing was to remain calm.
The real shock came to most people when he finally took his shirt off. Laz, by nature, wasn't a very vain guy. He never had much money, ever, so he just always wore what he had laying around and did enough to make himself not look like a hobo. Admittedly, with the clothes on that were a bit too baggy, Laz looked like he was wearing borrowed clothes. As such, it made him seem a bit poor in this rich environment. Once people had that impression, they would then look for every other fault a person possessed and act like it made them into less of a human. But once the shirt came off, people shut up.
Laz had experienced much since he started to change a few weeks ago. Be it the initial body burning he went through in his apartment, the constant beat down he got as a result of Bill, or the time he decided to taste the likely poisonous nectar and drink the highly suspicious glowing water, his bdoy was in a constant state of refinement. Even top athletes train for around 12 hours a day, several days a week. But Laz was basically undergoing body training every moment of every day, 24/7. As such, the initial muscle he had gain on the account of his first change had become a rock solid build now. If the tall idiot could be compared to a body builder, than Laz would be a chiseled statue of a god. Even Kennedy couldn't help but flush red as she looked at his finely sculpted abs, the explosive arms and his rock solid pelvic muscles that were visible above the waist of his pants. She almost found it hard to breathe.
But the thing that really stuck out to her was the tattoo on his chest. The blood red moon behind the blackened skeleton of a tree stood out prominently against Laz's somewhat white, unblemished skin. This point was made more glaring by the fact that his skin was pretty flawless as though though he had never experience the world. In fact, unknown to even Laz, the constant body training along with the energy circulation did a lot to help erase whatever scars he used to have.
For the ones watching him, it seems impossible for him to look that clean, even if he wasn't a merc.
The sight of this obviously young and powerful young man standing there in only pants and a skull mask was enough to make the few ladies at the party want to own this rare creature. The poor pets they had been playing with seemed rather dull by comparison.
Annie was no exception. As she sat off to the side with a leash in her hand while resting on the back of her own personal bull, she couldn't help but openly gawk at the exotic display before her. Alex was actually standing off to one side while sipping a drink and watching the match beginnings as well. Strangely, he had no such pet with him. As the situation stood, Annie wouldn't let him have one.
”This is the druggie bitch Tommy found right? Where did she get this hot piece of street meat to fight for her?”
Although one might think she was talking to her boyfriend, that would be incorrect as Jesse sat off on a couch to the side. Like Alex, he didn't have a pet with him. Instead, as he was leaning his head back, soft and supple fingers were massaging his temples in slow circles as he had his eyes closed. Without bothering to open them, he simply responded back,
”The girl is a bit obsessed with money. If you offer her a good price, she might let you go home with him.”
”Hmm... not a bad idea,” was Annie's only response. It was almost as though she didn't have a boyfriend right next to her. Most days, Jesse would show a bit of respect towards Alex since he kind of felt bad for the guy. But that only extended to a certain point. His days have not be good lately and therefore, he didn't give a damn about Alex.
”I hope he doesn't get hurt. Otherwise, that would ruin the fun later,” Annie added on with a strange glint in her eye.
Jesse didn't say anything but just grunted a bit as the finely dressed woman behind him continued to rub his head as though trying to relax him. He was very much enjoying this moment of relaxation.
Alex didn't say or do anything, he just stood there and watched while occasionally drinking. All in all, it was a strange scene to observe.

”Is Tommy ok? I can't believe his arm healed in only a few days?” Annie asked while looking over at Jesse. Even if her parents were richer than his, he showed signs of being very successful in business at a very young age show his parents gave him quite a bit of responsibility for someone so young. Recently, he had been going over the material about the strange mutations going on in people so that he might offer a few suggestions at the next board meeting. Unique resources were always in high demand.
”He's fine. Better than fine actually,” was Jesse's only response.
”He's not one of them, is he?”
”Strangely no.” For the first time, Jesse sat up and looked at Annie. Jesse's interest had always laid in a much higher place than high school or whatever trouble his friends would get up to. He was the type who wanted to be older now so that he could start doing amazing things and as such, he took an interest in the strange happenings as of late.
”My company has been doing research on the medical end after obtaining a few samples of these... things. Although there is no difference in the actual DNA structure of the creatures, there is a change in their inner bodily organs. It's like, over night, a new organ just grew right in the center of these people. We are doing lots of testing on this new organ, but we've yet to come up with what it is or what it does. It's amazing. But Jesse doesn't have that, at least not as far as we can tell. Of course, we can't just cut him open and take a look either, which is a pity.”
