Chapter81 Demon Ares
Leaving the hall, Louis's eyes were burning with anger as he wondered where he could vent it. Just then, he heard a commotion nearby.
“What's going on? Which idiot came and caused trouble at Palace Club? Are they really tired of living?” he angrily shouted at the two security guards nearby.
The security guard quickly approached and explained helplessly, “It's... it's the demon again. He just laid eyes on someone else’s woman, and now they're arguing. We're also in a dilemma!”
“This guy is getting more and more out of control.”
“Enough!” Louis cursed under his breath. Ares was a senior VIP at Palace Club; one of its core members. If things escalated, it wouldn't end well. No wonder the security guards couldn't handle it.
Ares was the kind of man who couldn't resist a beautiful woman. He dared to snatch any of them, and there were rumors about his unclear relationship with his father's mistress. Whether it was true or not, who knew?
“Why don't you go and ask them to calm down?” the security guard cautiously suggested.
Suddenly, Louis had an idea. He softly instructed the guard, “I won't go myself, but you should go and talk to Ares...”
Although the guard was somewhat puzzled, he hastily complied.
Louis looked toward the banquet hall’s direction and smirked, “If you dare mess with me, I'll show you what I'm capable of! I hope you'll enjoy this surprise!”
“I don't think Louis has ever suffered big losses before. If he realizes you’ve toying around with him, he'll surely go crazy. Can you imagine him going to find someone to turn you into minced meat?” Sarah said as she looked at Ethan while smiling, her eyes narrowed.
“If he dares to start a fight with me now, I'll really think highly of him! However, the tricks he used at the entrance earlier were a little predictable,” Ethan responded with a dismissive chuckle. If it came down to a direct confrontation, he didn't consider Louis a threat at all.
“You're quite cunning, but when did I become the Harris family’s reward? If you don't explain to me clearly, I’ll tell this to Chloe!” Sarah's tone suddenly changed.
“I was just messing with that guy, so why are you taking it so seriously? If you really want to be a benefit from the Harris family, then be my servant. I wouldn't mind.” Ethan teased Sarah with a wink, infuriating her.
Just at that moment, a disturbance erupted at the hall entrance. With the support of two young men, a drunken fellow stumbled in from outside.
“Isn't that Ares? This devil is here again. How unlucky!”
“Let's go over there and far away from this guy. I don’t want us to deal with his drunken rampage again!”
“What’re you all waiting for? Quickly bring the women to the third floor, or we won't have any fun tonight!”
Whispers spread through the hall as a group of people exchanged words. Many people were avoiding the drunken man, the area around him quickly emptying up.
“I have a feeling he's coming toward us! Have you heard of this Ares?” Ethan laughed as he watched Ares, who had aimless eyes.
Sarah reacted with a hint of surprise and unease in her beautiful face, “I do know him. His father is a big figure in Seattle's underground forces, the head of one of the three major gangs, the Crossing Gang! How did you know he's coming for us?”
Without waiting for Ethan’s explanation, the intoxicated Ares saw Sarah in the crowd as his eyes instantly lit up. He pushed aside two young men beside him, staggering toward Ethan and Sarah.
“Who is that woman? It seems like she was with Louis before!”
“No matter who she is, this is going to be interesting. Ares has his eye on her, so it doesn't matter who she was with before! If even Louis couldn't handle Ares, then who can?”
“What a shame; this woman is really unlucky!”
A murmur of whispers broke out again.
Sarah already got the answer even without Ethan's reply.
“What should we do? Can you handle this?” she frowned and looked at Ethan with a disgusted look.
Ethan innocently replied, “You said his father is a big shot. I don’t want to get stabbed, so what should we do?”
Sarah wanted to slap his face for joking around at such a time.
“Beauty... You're quite pretty, huh? Why have I never seen you before? Care to have a drink with me?” Ares had already walked up to Sarah and plopped down on the sofa next to her. He was about to put his hand on her shoulder.
However, Sarah quickly moved half a meter away toward Ethan's direction to avoid Ares’s hand. “You can drink by yourself. I don't know you, so please leave!”
Ares paused shortly when he heard this, then nonchalantly smiled, “You dare refuse me? Do you know who I am? Try asking around this place; which person wouldn’t know my name here?”
Sarah glanced at Ethan, her eyes lighting up. She wrapped her arms around his and said, “I don't care who you are, but my boyfriend is right here. If you don't leave, believe me when I saw he’ll beat you up.”
“Since when did I become your boyfriend?” Ethan almost spat out his wine, barely able to hold back.
Sarah replied smugly, “Weren’t you the one who said I was your reward? Aren't you going to protect your reward?”
Ethan put his wine glass down speechlessly, “If you just reveal your identity, this guy wouldn't dare to touch you. Of course, that is if he’s not stupid! Are you deliberately trying to set me up?”
After hearing Sarah's words, Ares paused for two seconds. He looked at Ethan, seeing the two whispering to each other and ignoring him. His face darkened, “Bastard, if you have any common sense, then hand your woman over to me. It’s your honor that I’m interested in her!”
Saying that, Ares swayed as he got up and reached out to pull Sarah's arm.
Ethan immediately grabbed his wrist and reminded him while smiling, “You're drunk. Go find a place to sleep it off and sober up!”
Ares angrily cursed, swinging his other hand toward Ethan's face, “Get lost! Do you know that with just one phone call, I can make it so that you’ll never see the sun tomorrow? It’d be smart for you to leave now. Tonight, I’ve decided to have this woman!”
Ethan narrowed his eyes, swiftly retaliating with a backhand.
With a just a slap, Ethan managed to send him flying! “Why didn’t you listen to me? Now, you’ve forced me!”
Sighing, he sat down as if nothing had happened and calmly sipped his wine.
On the other hand, Louis watched this scene unfold on the security monitor. He smirked with a sense of accomplishment.
