BXBX NOVEL Chapter 858 - Black & White Club (4)
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?"
Rhino narrowed his eyes at her. "What did you call me?"
"You used so many steroids that your hearing is damaged?"
"Listen here! I intend only to make you admit defeat, don't anger me… you might get hurt!"
"Ha! Let's see if a brainless guy can make me admit defeat. I give you three seconds before I knock you out. One!" Sarah extended her arm in front of him and showed her index finger.
Rhino frowned. "Brainless guy?"
"Two!" Sarah's middle finger joined next to the index finger.
No matter how Rhino looked at Sarah, she is a weak young woman. Why is she so full of herself? Maybe a slap or two will do her good to deflate that attitude. "Now you…"
"Three!" Sarah extended her thumb and slowly lowered her hand.
Rhino saw a black flash move toward him, rise into the air, and then… darkness and complete silence.
Sarah looked down at an unconscious large guy and then at the announcer who was unmoving and staring at the sight in front of him. Everyone was silent for few seconds before crowd erupted in random noise.
Sarah took a mental note to come up with some noise canceling technology, this is too damaging to her delicate ears.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Ladies and gentlemen!", announcer shouted when he got out of his shock. "Rhino lost his chance to have ninth consecutive victory! New fighter is here, and you can call her Nyx!"
Man with the microphone got inside arena, and two more people followed, who dragged unconscious Rhino outside.
Announcer eyed Sarah up and down few times with a big smile on his face, but it was not lecherous. Sarah can practically see dollar signs in his eyes. The man was obviously thinking how much money they will earn with her as a fighter. She does not look strong, so the people will bet on the other (bigger) fighters… and Sarah will take them down, earning the house a lot of money in the process. He might be just an announcer, but he is doing this for years, and he knows what a good fighting move is when he sees one. He will do his best to treat Sarah well and make sure she fights as long as possible. Ah, maybe he even gets a direct praise from a member of White family!
"This is the first win for Nyx, it's too early for me to talk about defeating champions and all the glory that will bring! As you know, we mention that only after fifth consecutive win! Now… is there anyone brave enough to challenge Nyx? …"
