A Gentle Beauty Beating Down a Full Grown Man

Upset at having met with Titania, Richard considered going back to the military base, but thinking of the personnel cleanup he had to do because of the Girardi family interference, he decided to go to Raven, a high-end club to get some drinks and relax. He knew a couple of his friends usually went there on Friday nights and he needed some company and space to clear his head. Since he usually declined to join his friends, he was sure that they would be extra happy to see him.

He quickly changed out of his military uniform into a simple suit paired with his combat boots and made sure his weapons were properly hidden all over his body. After making sure everything was in order, he quickly drove his sports vehicle to the bar, tossed his keys to the valet, and entered the building.

As always, Raven was tastefully decorated. The dark sumptuous leather of the furniture contrasted with the golden recessed lights and white marble flooring. There were different sections full of people from the aristocratic circle who were dressed to the nines and interacting with each other while drinking and dancing. As he walked through he simply nodded at the men and women greeting him before heading to the private sections on the second floor that overlooked the dance floor and the entire club.

As he expected, his friend Lucas Miller was there with a couple of people he didn't know. The group of men was surrounded by a group of scantily dressed women who flirted and poured drinks.

When Lucas spotted him, he quickly got up and went to greet him.

"Richy Rich my man, what's up? I didn't expect to see you here!" Richard gave him a hug before leading him back to the table.

"I needed a break."

"Miss Girardi again?"

Richard could only sigh in response.

"Well, it's good that you're here. We got drinks. We got bad bitches it's going to be a good night!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my best friend in the world, Richard. Rich from left to right is Sloane from S-electronics, James from R-construction, and Leon from Fashion House. The ladies are on the house so let's forget our worries and drink. Tabs on me today."

As Lucas finished the round of introductions, Richard looked around and memorized everybody's name while the men and women looked at him and did the same. The aristocratic circle was very small, especially in the capital city. There was nobody who didn't know Richard's name and face. All the men wanted to make a connection while the women wanted to secure their futures.

Richard nonchalantly took in their gazes before taking a seat. He was used to people gauging the benefits of getting to know him every time he met them. It made him cherish the few true friends he had like Lucas even more. He made sure to place his back to the wall and sat where he could observe the comings and goings of people.

The night carried on with just casual topics being brought up as everyone conversed casually. The original awkward silence when he joined had disappeared and the group was getting rowdier as they continued drinking. Emboldened by alcohol, one of the women tried flirting with him and he coldly glared at one of the women who tried to slide her hands on his thigh. Thankfully she got the message, and she respectfully shifted her target to one of the other men.

Richard just slowly sipped his old-fashioned and looked around the area in boredom. Some people were drinking as if their lives depended on it while others quietly went to hidden corners to make out with each other and dance. At the table across from them, it was a group of 4 rowdy men surrounding one woman.

He hadn't gotten a look at her face; all he saw was hair as white as snow that trailed down to her waist and blended in with the long white dress that she wore. Her slender arms were loosely by her side while he stood in a wide-legged stance with her black boots impatiently tapping the floor. As he continued watching the scene absent-mindedly, he saw one of the men reach out and grab her arm as he began yelling and the rest of the men backed away.

Sensing the situation was getting serious, Richard quickly got up and approached the table, intending to stop whatever was going on. As he got closer he began hearing what the man was saying.

"You illegitimate witchy bastard, if you think I'm going to help you out, think again."

"Or actually, I can help you out if you give me something in return."

"That something is your body of course. I've never tasted a woman from the Valentine family before so even a half-breed like you is fine. I'm sure you'll be as sweet as chocolate."

As the men jeered and made sexual jokes at the woman, Richard could feel his face frown in disgust. The fact that they felt it was fine to speak like that about anybody truly disgusted him to his soul.

"Come on witchy, if you make me cum I'll give you sum." The man holding the girl sang.

"Is that your final answer? You refuse to peacefully cooperate?" Richard heard a cool, indifferent voice ask.

"Cooperate on this dick witchy. You know what I want baby, that white skin and pink p-." Richard watched the man's hand grope the butt of the girl as filthy words came out of his mouth. Before he could rip it away. He saw the man flying threw the air. The girl had executed a textbook-perfect shoulder throw with no hesitation. As the man crashed into the ground, he saw a roundhouse kick snap into the face of another man, sending him to the ground while her fist flew into another man's stomach. In less than a minute, all four men were subdued and groaning on the floor while cursing at her.

"Celeste Valentine, you damn witch. Do you think you can beat this young lord up? I'll report you to the Valentine family and they'll get rid of you, you unwanted bastard."

"Blah blah blah. Report report report, all you know how to do is go tattle to your parents you little crybaby. Go and report if you want to, I have a recording of everything you just said." Celeste pulled out her cell phone and pressed play.

"Come on witchy, if you make us cum I'll give you sum."

"Come on witchy, if you make us cum I'll give you sum."

"Come on witchy, if you make us cum I'll give you sum."

The recording played three times before being stopped. "Young Lord Cross, aren't you getting married in a few months? I wonder how your loving fiancé; the favorite daughter of the Chrysler family will feel hearing her loving fiancée say those words? Hmmm? I'd bet everything I owned that she wouldn't be too happy but what do you think? What do you think her father would do about that? I heard through the grapevine that recently your two families are collaborating on a project. Can you bear the responsibility of being the one who caused that to break down?"

Seeing the man angrily staring at the woman yet not being able to do anything, Richard couldn't help but laugh.

As he laughed the girl turned to look at him and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Fine white hair cut into bangs fell softly across her forehead, framing a delicate heart-shaped face while the rest fell smoothly down her back. She had fox-shaped purple eyes framed with thick white lashes that stood out against the almost translucent skin. With a delicate nose and soft pink lips, she looked as if a spirit of snow and cherry blossoms had come to life. Her figure was tall and slender but clearly had strength seeing as how she just toppled four grown men.

The beautiful face smirked at him before turning back to the men groaning on the floor.

"As I said, if you don't want this spread out, I suggest you accept my meeting on Monday so we can move on with what I need you to sign. Naturally, if you don't want to, this recording will be directly sent to your fi.an.ce. Anyways bye bye." Celeste cheerfully waved before turning away from them.

"You ghost-looking bitch, once I destroy that phone you can't do anything to me. I'll kill you!" Andre Cross leaped from the floor and charged towards Celeste. With no hesitation and without even looking back, her leg snapped out and she threw a hook kick that knocked him down to the floor.

Slanting her eyes and giving a cold smile to the man on the floor, Celeste told him, "Because of that foolish move you just did, I'm doubling everything on the contract. See you Monday, Mr. Cross. I hope by then you'll have come to your senses."

She then turned to Richard and gave him her best smile.

"Sorry that you had to see that unsightly scene. Hello Richard Carrington, I'm Celeste Valentine. I've been hoping to meet you for a while. I have a deal that I think you'll definitely be interested in. Shall we talk in private?"
