Chapter 1009 - Chaos nightclub (2) (1/2)

”You didn't tell me that you will fight.”, Aiden told Sarah.

She noticed that he is not pleased with this and wondered: why is he so protective? She shrugged it off with a thought that he probably knows that down there are bosses and thugs from the Los Angeles area.

”I'm here to establish our supremacy. They need to fear us because that is the only thing which will keep them in check.”, Sarah responded. ”Don't worry about anyone connecting me with Nyx from Austin. I deleted all recordings from the Black & White club that had my face on them. I would include you in the opening act if I knew that you will be available, but don't worry… you can join in the fun later.”

Sarah glanced left and right and saw that on each side five of her generals are in position. She straightened her posture and gave a signal to the handler. He pushed a button on his control board and a one-way glass became two-way, revealing to the crowd below Sarah and Aiden standing with five generals on each side. It was an impressive sight: twelve people in black clothes and black masks standing straight with their arms behind back.

”Ladies and gentlemen, I present you: Chaos!”, the announcer exclaimed and gestured toward the main VIP booth.

Some people gasped, but most of the crowd cheered like they are seeing celebrities. Various bosses who came to see their competition observed them with complicated expressions.

Few seconds later, the handler returned the glass of the main VIP booth to the original state, so that people from outside can't see in.

Sarah kissed Aiden lightly on the lips and said with a smile: ”Watch me fight.”

Announcer was already setting up the atmosphere for the first fight of the club: Nyx will fight any challenger.

”When the fighters are inside, the gate closes…”, the announcer was explaining the rules. ”The fight ends when one can't fight anymore or admits a defeat. During the fights, there is one rule: no weapons.”

Number of people queued up to try their strength and skills against Nyx.

Sarah walked toward the arena in style. Members of her army of Chaos cordoned the crowd away and Noah was two steps behind her with a tablet in his hands, like a faithful assistant.

It all looked very impressive. Powerful, intimidating, and a bit business-like.

The fight started, challengers took turns and neither of them lasted long. Actually, it was boring and extremely predictable: the burly man enters the arena (after the previous one was dragged out), he says few words to encourage himself, flexes a muscle or two and rushes toward Sarah. A second later, he is on the ground, unmoving. The fight ends.

Few men taunted Sarah to attack first. She didn't hesitate and they didn't see what happened to them. At one moment they are looking at Sarah, and in the next one they are in one of the back rooms where they keep defeated fighters until they wake up. Doctor is present to give them a quick check up and an OK to leave.

Aiden watched all that with an amused smirk on his handsome face. It reminded him of the time when he was hopping between fight clubs in Austin, desperately looking to satisfy his hunger for an excitement, wanting to experience the rush of a fight. Just to find them all… disappointing.

He looked at his woman down in the arena and thought how everything before they met can be described as disappointing, him included. She changed that.

The statistics on the walls showed:

'Nyx -> Wins: 37; Losses: 0; Ties: 0'
