Chapter 3: Fight in the nightclub
At the same time, in the city.
During the day, the city of S puts on a calm, peaceful appearance. People take time to work, eat, and shop. But when night falls, this place becomes a bustling town with lots of interesting entertainment activities.
What could be more wonderful than ending a tiring working day, putting aside your worries and concerns by gathering, chatting, and confiding with friends? And no place completely meets, matches the wishes of most children, that is the nightclub. One of the famous lively nightclubs is named Nishi Azabu Muse. This bar attracts a lot of people, welcoming more than 1,200 people every weekend. This is a perfect choice for relaxation.
Today Egan Robert decided to end a busy, heavy week by going straight home, but his friend Joyce insisted on inviting Egan into a nightclub. As an excuse to gather to relieve the spirit, the main purpose is to help Egan find a girlfriend. He's been single for so long that the people around him worry.
Egan is a workaholic and he doesn't seem to have any love interest yet. Therefore, in all these years, no one has seen him with a pink shadow. Egan belongs to the rich class but is not spoiled. With Egan, women must be chosen carefully, not haphazardly. A person's appearance is not a measure of a person's worth. From Egan's point of view, that is. You base them on their nature and dignity, not on their fake appearances. Egan is still single because he wants to. Egan is still waiting for the right woman for him. Egan believes that his wait will be worth it, so despite the influence of friends and people around him, he is still steadfast in what he wants and does. Egan's life does not seem to depend on or follow anyone's arrangement. At least for now.
Talking about Egan's life will take a lot of time, overall Egan is a successful man. Having a noble background, intelligence and bravery are not inferior to anyone. Talking about looks, of course, you can't deny that Egan is handsome, his body is solid because he regularly exercises. Talking about personality and dignity, Egan has a cold appearance, but if it is someone he cares about they will receive tenderness from him. Egan is kind, kind to everyone. But with enemies, he is sometimes quite ruthless. An opposite, though difficult to understand, is attractive to others, especially to women.
Egan is truly an excellent product that nature created when it became a great concern of a large number of women. Many girls secretly admire, wish to become half of Egan. However, as said among those women, Egan has yet to find the woman he wants.
Talking about the date tonight, Egan is currently going to a nightclub with his friends.
Nishi Azabu Muse is the best nightclub in the city, its customers are rich people. For Egan Robert or any man, this is considered a paradise to conquer attractive girls. Or simply this is a hunting ground of cunning predators, specializing in deceiving, deceiving, falsehood lies... As much as possible, it's lucky that you don't fall into the trap when you become the target of bad guys. And Egan reminded himself to be careful not to fall into a trap. Here traps are everywhere. Anyone can be a bad person.
Egan and his friend arrived at the climax of the party, the atmosphere was full of people, loud music, freestyle dances, and comfortable drinks.
It was not a place Egan wanted to go to, but because of his friends, he reluctantly attended.
"Hey, Devlin!" Joyce patted the CFO of the company Egan owned. "How long has it been?"
"You guys are here." Called, Devlin turned to look, cheerfully greeting the two friends. "I thought you weren't coming?"
"Why do we always meet here?" Egan had been silent for a while, not very happy in his heart, because as soon as he entered this place, he suddenly remembered the trouble, revolving around this bar. The last time he was drugged, almost caused a big scandal.
Looking annoyed, Egan demanded the reason. "Without a place to gather, this place is not suitable for a chat."
"Stop scowling. Do you still mind the old things?" Joyce teased Egan: "Last time you weren't lucky enough to escape someone's stupid plan. Now, perhaps one would not be foolish enough to fail again."
"Come on guys, sit down." Devlin directed his attention. "We haven't gathered for a long time, so all unfortunate things should be erased."
Following the senior's advice, everyone took an empty seat next to Devlin.
Egan sat still, on the far right, opposite him was Bartender - The person who for no reason had to receive indifference and disrespect from him. Egan didn't even glance at the Bartender as he sat down.
"I heard that you have something that you need your advice on?" Joyce initiates the conversation.
"Yes." Devlin smiled in acknowledgment. "I'd like your opinion on the girl I'm keeping an eye on."
"Wow, oh my." Joyce teased. "Which angel dispels the prince's frozen heart? Curiosity can die."
The man named Devlin stared intently at the female Bartender, diligently completing his duties inside the bartender.
"How did you see her?"
"Who? Where?" Joyce asked eagerly. Egan also pretended to care a little, following the direction Devlin was pinning his eyes.
"Hima, for a whiskey," Devlin called for attention. The bartender turned to look at the owner of the voice. There was a pause when Devlin's eyes met the girl's. Those around them were enough to realize that the two had feelings for each other.
"Right now." The girl with the nickname Hima smiled at Devlin, then started doing her bartending.
The girl was a little embarrassed causing her cheeks to turn red.
"Okay, that's it." Joyce commented: "Pretty, cute, and very personable."
Hearing Joyce's praise, Devlin smiled amusedly. The girl he has his eyes on gets the love of his friends, what could be better than that?
"What do you two drink?" Hima put the wine glass in front of Davlin's eyes, then turned to look at the two boys on either side, asking questions.
"Like him," Joyce said politely.
"And you?" Hima asked Egan.
"Whiskey." He said, his face still flat.
The three boys were sipping drinks and chatting. All simple little stories. They don't want to bring work to life outside of office hours.
Everything was going normally until the unexpected happened. While at the counter, Egan and friends had a private space, at a table not far away a rare incident happened. The waitress was molested by a guest, and in fear, she couldn't keep her composure and threw alcohol in the guest's face. In the end, she got a slap in the ear and was severely insulted. The incident drew everyone's attention, including Egan. Witnessing that disturbing and inhibiting scene, Egan bravely intervened. He resolutely walked over to the table. Despite friends' dissuade.
"Come on, Egan, don't be reckless," Joyce called out, but Egan didn't care to hear.
The guy named Joyce helplessly turned to Davlin and complained: "He's like that again, he's been in charge of the world all day."
"Never mind, Egan is like that, it's annoying to see grievances." Davlin reminded.
Just a few steps Egan reached the scene of the incident. While the troublemaker took action to punish the young girl, Egan bravely raised his hand in support.
"Enough." Egan gripped the abuser's hand tightly, teaching in a tone of voice: "Don't embarrass yourself any further, hitting a woman is the worst of the worst things a bad man can do."
"Who are you, blatantly meddling in other people's affairs?" The other guest rudely scolded Egan: "If the soul is to stay aside if you want to be a hero, go somewhere else and show it off. There is no place here."
"I just feel disgruntled. Don't you think it's too much for your behavior?" Egan calmly accused him: "You're the one to blame first."
"What did you just say, want to slander?" The guy yelled. "Do you have eyes to see? This bitch has behaved inappropriately towards God."
God? Egan sneered, it's ridiculous that a bad guy dares to claim to be a god. Shameless indeed.
"Everybody here can see your vulgar actions. Control your attitude lest you face serious consequences." Egan glared, using a commanding tone of warning.
"This guy is not afraid." He stubbornly pushed Egan's hand away from his wrist. Unfortunately, Egan's power is greater.
"If you don't let go of Dad's hand, don't blame anything that happens to you." The angry man shouted at Egan.
Egan remained calm, the grip getting tighter and tighter causing the man to scream in pain.
"Damn it, dog. You'll get enough for worrying about how much money."
He yelled, then threw a free fist into Egan's face. Unfortunately, he quickly dodged it.
Then as expected, the two got into a brawl. That bad man and his accomplices beat the council, Egan. Two of Egan's friends also jumped in to help Egan.
The sound of broken glass, the sound of tables and chairs being pushed, and the cheers of the audience created a thick mixture of sounds, showing that a fight was happening here.
There is one thing that little is known about Egan Robert that once he is agitated, his actions can be very cruel and cause immense pain to the opponent. The proof was that each successive powerful punch had been mercilessly delivered to the rough face of the man.
Egan hates people who treat women badly. For Egan, women are meant to be loved, but not every woman deserves that love. Egan distinguishes between good women and bad women. And this poor girl doesn't deserve to be treated so badly.
Everyone around could only watch, some even excitedly shouting in support of that pointless match.
"Egan is enough. Don't fight anymore." A friend intervened, advising the man who was repeatedly punching his opponent in the face: "He will probably die and you will be charged with murder."
The word of warning is not deceitful or superfluous. Indeed, if Egan goes too far, things will end tragically. Although the Egan family can afford to handle a legal scandal, more or less the Robert family's reputation suffers. Egan didn't want the family's reputation ruined.
Egan finally calmed down, stopping to act as Joyce struggled to pull away from the inconsiderate bastard. Just now, he had acted rudely when he teased the waitress and then blatantly beat her because he refused to touch him. Egan felt that behavior was unacceptable and took action to punish him.
"You remember my face, you bastard." The other guy stood up from the floor, threatening Egan with a provocative gesture: "I'm not going to let this go."
The man's face, which was already ugly, now became worse because of bruises and purple.
"Try to commit the infamous act again, you will pay the price for looking down on others as well as humiliating them."
Egan hadn't just warned him. He glared, exuding a strong killing intent that made everyone around him hesitate. But the man still showed no remorse. He despised Egan's words.
"You just wait and see, this case isn't over yet. You'll get the reward you deserve for your act of gallantry and love to take care of your money." He stood up, proudly wiping the blood from the corner of his lips.
"I'll wait." Egan challenged again: "See what you can do. Don't just crow like a castrated rooster. No matter how loud it is, it's useless, it won't scare anyone."
"Damn it!" Before the great attack, he angrily cursed. He tried to rush towards Egan but was stopped by his companion. Egan was also prevented by his friends from attacking again.
"Come on Egan, stop here." Egan's friend whispered into his talent: "Don't get angry and let things go too far."
Following the advice, Egan abandoned his fighting stance and returned to the table with his friends. The other guy was also dragged away by his friends. Curses kept pouring out of his mouth.
