Chapter 554 A Chance Encounter and an Invitation

Ethan was totally clueless about all the chaos going down in Celestia Vale. Meanwhile, Raymond and Phoenix were already on their way to the border, ready to throw down with some mysterious big bad for him.

Ethan wasn’t even thinking about why he was such a big deal that folks from outside the country were so obsessed with him. Little did he know, trouble was already knocking.

As planned with Angela, Ethan got Lorenzo plastered. After dinner, he grabbed her hand and led her out of the yard.

"Where we headed?" Angela asked, noticing Ethan wasn’t making a move to drive.

"No clue, just wandering," Ethan shrugged.

Just then, a black Audi rolled up.

"Isn’t that Leo’s ride? Dude loves his night drives," Angela said, recognizing the car even in the dark.

The Audi slowed down as it passed them, and the window rolled down to reveal Leo.

"Where you guys off to?" Leo asked, curious.

"Why do you care? Who’s in your car?" Angela pouted, spotting a shadowy figure in the passenger seat.

"Marco."

"Marco, get out of the car."

Marco reluctantly got out, looking like he was ready for a covert mission, even rocking sunglasses at night. Ethan almost lost it.

"Are you nuts? Where you planning to go looking like that?" Angela asked, half amused, half annoyed.

"Isn’t it obvious? I gotta dress like this to go anywhere now," Marco whined, almost tearing up, making Ethan finally crack up.

Angela couldn’t help but laugh too, realizing she was the reason for Marco’s getup.

"You had it coming for running your mouth," Angela glared at Marco, then turned to Ethan.

"Alright, let me help you out," Ethan said, pulling out a silver needle.

Before Marco could react, Ethan was already in front of him. Marco felt a sharp pain in his gut, followed by a warm sensation spreading through his body.

Marco’s eyes went wide, staring at Ethan’s hand holding the needle against his abdomen. Almost instantly, the pain that had been all over his body vanished. Once it was completely gone, Ethan pulled the needle out.

"What are you doing?" Leo asked, curious, getting out of the car and eyeing the needle in Ethan’s hand.

"Take off your sunglasses. Wearing them at night, you're not afraid of running into something?" Ethan didn’t answer Leo but gave Marco a heads-up.

Though a bit puzzled, Marco took off his sunglasses.

"Marco, your face is healed!" Leo exclaimed, his jaw practically hitting the floor as he saw Marco's face clearly under the car's headlights. The dude who was all bruised and swollen now looked perfectly fine.

"I'm healed?" Marco touched his face and body, realizing he felt no pain. He quickly checked himself out in the car's side mirror, eyes wide with surprise.

"I'm really healed! Awesome, I don't have to hide anymore," Marco shouted, practically bouncing with excitement.

"Don't get too cocky, or I'll mess you up again," Angela warned, her tone fierce.

"No, I swear I learned my lesson," Marco said, clamping his legs together and shaking his head like a scared puppy.

"Did you just heal him?" Leo asked, looking at Ethan like he was some kind of wizard.

"If not me, then who? Want Angela to beat you up so I can fix you too?" Ethan shot back, smirking.

"No thanks, I'm not into pain," Leo quickly replied, shaking his head.

"Alright, if everything's cool, scram," Angela huffed.

Marco quickly thanked both Angela and Ethan before hopping back into the car.

Leo was about to follow but then turned back to Ethan, "Hey, since you guys are free, wanna join us for some fun?"

"Where you headed? Isn't it enough to mess around on your own? You gotta drag Ethan into it too?" Angela grabbed Ethan's arm, glaring at Leo.

"I wouldn't dare. We're just hitting up RD Club for a few drinks, nothing shady. Besides, you'll be with us, right?" Leo explained quickly.

"RD Club?" Ethan raised an eyebrow.

"It's a private club set up by some rich kids. Most members are from noble families, and regular folks can't get in," Angela explained, pouting. From her expression, RD Club seemed no different from the shady spots Leo mentioned.

Angela had heard of the place but never been there and didn't think much of those kinds of gatherings.

"That's right, and I have a gold membership card for RD Club, which lets me bring three guests. Perfect, right?" Leo proudly flashed a golden card.

"Why not check it out? We're just killing time anyway," Ethan suggested to Angela.

Angela initially wanted to refuse but nodded after looking at Ethan. There wasn't much to do around here, and she didn't know where else to take him.

"Awesome! If you guys show up at RD Club, it'll be a big deal for them," Leo said excitedly, not expecting Angela to agree.
