Chapter 858 - Black & White club (4) (1/2)
On the third level in the VIP room, Aaron is sitting while fiddling with his phone impatiently.
He rebooted the damned thing five times already and it's the same: no signal. How is it possible that so close to downtown Austin there is no signal? A thought hit him, is it possible that Sarah somehow killed the signal? He shook his head dismissively. There is no way that anyone can do that, much less a harmless girl like Sarah.
He checked the time. It's getting close to 7 PM. They agreed to meet at 7. Knowing who is coming, no one will come early. Heck, even he would not come early if he is not so nervous about this whole thing.
Aaron can't help but wonder, what will Sarah and Aiden do? What is the purpose of gathering them here? Based on what Sarah told him, Aaron concluded that they want to get revenge for what happened (and what almost happened) at the wedding. But if that is correct, isn't it easier to hunt them down one by one? What can two of them do against eight people? Oops! Make that seven people, since they promised not to touch him. He is neutral in this whole thing and he will not help either side. He is doing this for the sake of his career as a model, and for an oportunity to confront Patrick.
It's so noisy down there. Aaron is happy that this VIP room has relatively good soundproofing, even thought side facing the comotion downstairs is a complete glass wall with a rail in the middle. If he does not stand up from the sofa, he can see large screens displaying the information about the ongoing fights. Why did Sarah ask to meet in this shady place? And it's not difficult to guess that not everyone can come to these places. He heard about Black & White club few years back, but he was unable to find out it's location, not to mention to come here. And here he is… in one of the best VIP rooms. Part of him feels giddy about it, but then he remembered Sarah and why he is here, and his mood dropped. How is she related to this type of place?
Suddenly, the noise from downstairs increased several folds.
Aaron glanced on the side and he can see screens above the arena showing: ”Rhino vs Nyx” and below was a timer which counted down starting from 59 seconds.
Aaron thought that this Rhino guy is at if for some time… so the noise is probably because of Nyx fighter. That must be some awesome fighting-machine.
Aaron stood up to see the arena below.
The sight below puzzled him. Even from this distance, he can see that Rhino is more than twice the size of Nyx. What the…? Is that a ponytail? Is Nyx a girl?
Aaron reached for the remote control for the large flat TV hanging on the wall which provides close-up view by streaming the live feed of the fight below. It took him few seconds to find the channel with the right angle. His mind exploded. 'SARAH!'
He saw the man with the microphone step out of the arena and close the iron gate behind him before announcing that the fight can start.
The crowd went silent.
…
Down in the arena…
Rhino looked at Nyx (aka Sarah) and was not sure what to do. If he hits her, she might break. And his signature move is elbow-in-the-chin. He does not want to kill this young woman. Why did she come here? But this will be his ninth consecutive win, he will not yield. He will just knock her out, or maybe hold her until she admits a defeat… yes, that is a good plan.
”Hey, you pile of steroids!”, Sarah called to him. ”Are you going to attack me or what?”
