Chapter 52

" You're late. " Ellen stated as a matter of fact. She pulled out a chair waving at the guy gesturing him to take a seat. Wu Chan was the guy who had saved Sherry the previous day in the hotel.

  " Miss Ellen, I'm s... sorry. I happened to encounter a little problem..."

     " Spill it."

  Ellen's tone was commanding as she looked at the thin man expressionlessly.

   Wu Chan hesitated but began spilling everything under the woman's piercing gaze.

   An hour later, a taxi pulled over at the streets of a poor dilapidated neighborhood. Ellen walked into a bar together with the trembling slender man behind her.

   " Umm... I think it's not safe to do this. These people are very dangerous. I think it's best to call the police... " He wiped the cold sweat dripping on his forehead with his shivering hands.

   " Keep quiet and lead the way, why didn't you think of that earlier. " Ellen rolled her eyes and entered the bar.

  Her nose wrinkled when the disgusting alcohol stench hit her nostrils the moment she walked into the disgusting bar.

   Men and scantily dressed women were singing their hearts out and dancing vigorously to the very loud music playing in the room while other roguish looking men were busy exchanging blows. Others were sound asleep drooling on the greasy tables.

   The entire sight was chaotic and disgusting to the core. Ellen held herself with much strength to avoid throwing up.

      " Where are they? " She eyed the nervous Wu Chan. The man wore a light blue t-shirt with black pants. He was thin and had feminine features on his clean face.

    " Ahh... this is a bad idea really. He's someone who can't be messed up with in this street. He calls the shots here and everyone fears him. " He sounded dispirited and apprehensive.

    Ellen was beginning to get more frustrated. His annoying loud voice due to the loud music made her incensed that she felt like punching his delicate face. A minute more in the suffocating bar was literally killing her.

  " Are you looking down on me? I'm not to be messed with either. Go and call that rogue, you're wasting my precious time! " She bellowed at him disdainfully.

   Wu Chan cast her a doubtful and worried gaze. He was really regretting agreeing to bring the short and delicate young woman in that kind of gangs and criminals infested street. He kept his phone ready, to call the police incase things went out of hand.

  Ellen watched him as he walked towards the counter and exchanged a few words with the bar attender. She was emitting an unapproachable and murderous aura.

   Soon, a roguish looking white haired man with tattoos and piercings all over his head, neck and shoulders led them upstairs to a what seemed like a private room. He knocked and ushered them in.

  What came to their sight was a group of four to six men who looked like criminals. They were gambling while heavily smoking. Many opened and unopened bottles of alcohol scattered on the tables. Almost naked women were seated on the men's laps being groped and entertaining them.

   The men's lustful eyes lit up when they saw the extremely beautiful woman making her way into the room. Ellen scanned them expressionlessly but her eyes were filled with disgust.

  She ignored their dirty gazes and found her way to the empty one seater chair. She sat cross-legged like a fierce domineering boss.

   Wu Chan gulped when he saw her nonchalance and disregard for the dangerous gang leaders in the room. He splinted to her side to protect her lest she got attacked. It was his fault anyway for bringing her to such kind of a place.
