Bab 164: The Nightclub
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earsplitting music blared inside the club. Everyone within rocked their bodies perfectly or off tune to the beat of the music. The crowd cheered and shouted, some raising fists as they danced.
The putrid scents of cigarettes, alcohol and stale sweat perfused through the air, occasionally, with the smell of old bile from a corner by the long bar.
A young girl with her face concealed by a painted red and white fox demon mask stood out from the crowd. She darted her eyes around from beneath her mask and scoured them through the room.
It was the weekend so it was much more crowded than usual, leaving hardly enough space for anyone inside.
This…was so exciting!
This was her first time at a nightclub!
The adrenaline and electric pulse she felt from the loud music and scent of sweat was exhilarating!
Mimi's glittering eyes fixed on a pair of youth's clinging to one another while producing lewd noises. Their tongues and hands explored one another brazenly while moaning and groaning breathlessly.
Oh my! So bold and affectionate! It was practically like live-action porn! Was this what youths in society were doing now these days?
A hand suddenly hovered over her face, obstructing her view of the pair. Pouting her lips, she tilted her head to see a man, who just like her, also wore a mask.
Completely white, his mask was rather simple but still considered chilling. It bore a face with two curved, black eyes and a wide smiling expression that practically stretched across the entire surface.
This mask oddly matched the man's personality very well.
A mellow, sunny voice spoke from behind the mask and said, "The little one shouldn't look at such vile things."
Mimi stared back at him without blinking and snorted contemptuously. "Regrettably, I'm looking at you. Doesn't that count as looking at a vile thing?"
As expected, Shen Jue didn't get mad and merely patted her head. He reached out and grasped her hand.
"Stay with me okay? It's too crowded here, you might get lost."
Mimi inwardly snorted. She would prefer getting lost.
That way, she could look and explore everything longer!
But knowing they had a mission, Mimi kept silent and allowed Shen Jue to lead her through the crowd until they reached a level of stairs.
She quickly noticed Shen Jue seemed to know his way around as he easily passed through - as if he had been here before.
With such a thought, Mimi couldn't help but narrow her eyes behind her mask.
As if sensing her questioning gaze, Shen Jue said, "I've been here before to deal with some business."
Mimi knew this business he spoke of was obviously illegal.
"Your sister and I also came here once..."
The girl's chilling voice cut him off. "Stop."
Mimi stopped in place, staring glassily for a moment. Shen Jue was forced to stop moving and turned around to look at the fox masked girl.
He could tell she was staring at him but couldn't see her expression. But for certain, those bright purple eyes of hers were burning with violent emotions.
Mimi stared at him for quite a while, then said, "What's your intent in telling me things like that?"
The smiling expression on his mask remained still. He sighed softly.
"I just thought you'd like to know."
"Well I don't, so cut it out." Mimi glared and walked passed him to walk up the stairs. "Do you have a VIP pass?"
He nodded and took out two passes from his pocket.
Mimi sneered. "Then let's not keep them waiting."
…
Mimi and Shen Ju went up to the far VIP section. Compared to down below, the area was much more spacious and exquisite. White booths and dim but colorful lights; It suited the qualifications of a VIP lounge.
Mimi sighed softly to herself. She'd prefer to be down below with the scent of alcohol and hot-blooded, lustful groping youths, it was at least more exciting than this!
When they walked up, they identified a nervous-looking middle-aged man in a stiff suit, fidgeting in his seat.
He must have known beforehand that they'd wear masks because the middle-aged man glanced up, and his face filled with a smile as he stood up, rushing toward them. A couple of tall bodyguards stood in the distance.
The man greeted them hastily. "Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you Mr…"
"Po," Shen Jue's silken voice replied gently.
"Right, Mr. Po! It's so good to meet you! My name is Yu Feng, but please call me whatever you like!" The middle-aged man's words loaded with flattery.
"Mr. Yu is fine." Shen Jue's response was curt.
Yu Feng restlessly stared at the man and gestured toward the white sofa. "Ah, well come sit! Would you like to order something to drink?"
"No, that's not necessary." Shen Jue said while sitting down on the white cushions.
"Ahaha…very well then."
Before arriving, Shen Jue had advised her to remain behind him and stay quiet while he talked.
That is exactly what she did. Mimi stood behind Shen Jue, her posture straight, hands folded neatly in front of her while the fox demon mask veiled her small face.
Yu Feng had just sat down when he noticed the small figure standing calmly behind the masked man. Like him, she too wore a mask - the shape of it of a fox. He couldn't help but be surprised.
Though he couldn't see her face, the girl's stature was rather diminutive for her age. She couldn't possibly be no older than a teenager.
"Uh, this is..?" His eyes drifted up and down the quiet girl, a trace of doubt and surprise flashed in his eyes.
Shen Jue crossed his legs and in a slightly sharper tone, chuckled. "This is my aide, Little One."
Behind her mask, the edge of Mimi's lips twitched. His aide? And what was with that name?
At that moment, her hands itched to hit the man. Creepy bastard, she hated when he called her that!
"Oh." Yu Feng nodded his head and quickly glanced away from Mimi.
He dared not stare at her for too long as he felt the man across from him was sending him icy stares when he did.
The three sat in stillness. Shen Jue didn't bother breaking the tense silence and lazily lounged against the white booth, his long legs crossed.
Yu Feng swallowed and finally spoke up. "Mr. Po, about what we discussed on the phone earlier. Is…Is it really necessary to harm my company?"
Shen Jue patiently responded, "You support Hiro Corp, do you not?"
Yu Feng nervously retorted, "Y-yes, but my company needs the support from them, I have never participated in any of their acts! My company and I are nothing but clean!"
To his surprise, Shen Jue laughed, as if he was immensely amused by his words. Cold sweat dripped down his back.
"No one is ever clean." Shen Jue's voice contained smiles. "Moreover, just supporting the Hirogori is already an unforgivable sin."
Yu Feng paled, he could identify the threat in the man's words. "I-I'll cut off all contact with them! Will that appease you?"
Shen Jue's head tilted, "You think that's enough to please me?"
