Chapter 861 - Black & White club (7) (1/2)

Super-loud drumroll ripped through the club while large letters were blinking on the screens above arena:

'Challenge to the champions!'

Voice boomed from downstairs: ”Aaaaand this is the moment we are all waiting to see if it will happen… When it will happen?… Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen… It is happening!… Our unfathomable Nyx is creating history right in front of our eyes! Nyx defeated ten opponents one after another, not giving them a chance to surrender, and she is right now issuing a CHALLENGE TO THE CHAMPIONS!”

The crowd erupted in cheers and screams.

The announcer waited for some time before continuing: ”The rules are: when the challenged champion is present, he or she can't refuse, at the risk of losing the position. In the case when challenger wins against the champion, the challenger will take that champion's spot! If challenger wins against two champions, both champions are off the list, and the empty space is available for everyone interested to fight for it in a special event which will be organized separately. Why does everyone want a title of a champion: bragging rights, privileges aaaaaaand… MONEY! Are we going to witness a change in our champions' lineup after more than three years?”

The crowd went into frenzy as live stream of the arena was shown on the big screens above.

Announcer approached Sarah. ”Blackstain is not here, so if you challenge him, you will need to wait it out… but Amber, Jade and Swift are here tonight! … Are you going to pick one of them?”

Sarah smiled and nodded, her eyes not leaving two women behind that glass enclosure.

…

Up in the VIP room, Noah's eyes are glued to Sarah's smiling face on those screens above the arena.

”My Mistress…”, Noah mumbled, and he had to hold onto railing because his legs were giving up on him.

Liam also saw Sarah and he shoot up from the sofa. He felt his heart tremble for few seconds. When he came out of his initial shock, he bolted for the door.

”You are not allowed to leave.”, deep cold voice sounded when Liam's chest slammed into a firm palm.

Liam paled when he saw four bulky men in black suits blocking the doorway.

”What is the meaning of this?”, Liam weakly asked.

”We have orders, no one leaves.”, one of the men in black responded, pushed Liam inside and closed the door.

Liam stared at the closed door for some time before turning to Aaron. ”What is the meaning of this?”

”Meaning of what?” Aaron shoot him a side look.

Liam's face twisted from anger. ”Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about? Why can't we leave?!”

”Why would you leave? We just arrived. We still have things to discuss.” Aaron gestured toward the sofa for Liam to sit down.

”What topics?”, Liam squeezed through his teeth.

Aaron shrugged. ”I don't know… How about we start with you answering: Why did you put all of us at odds against the White family?”

”What kind of a question is that?” Liam did his best for panic not to show on his face. He was fearing this… that they will pin this whole situation on him.

Thomas looked at Liam with disdain. ”A reasonable one. Any person with half a brain would know not to mess with Whites. Why did you go to such lengths to break up Aiden and Sarah?”
