Chapter 294: The Revenge Party

"What gift have you prepared for Downey?"

In the infamous Viper Nightclub in Hollywood, James Franco leaned against a pillar near the entrance and asked Jonah Hill, "You and Seth have been planning for so long, must be something special, right?"

Jonah Hill shook his head firmly, "It's a secret until the reveal!"

James Franco then turned to Murphy, "And you?"

Murphy glanced at his watch. Robert Downey Jr. should be arriving soon and said, "You'll see in a moment."

He stood up, "Anyone wants to come out and see?"

"I do!" Seth Rogen was the first to jump up.

James Franco, Jonah Hill, Paul Wilson, and David Robie followed suit.

Their departure made the spacious Viper Nightclub considerably quieter.

For his bachelor party, Robert Downey Jr. had booked the entire nightclub.

A Porsche 911 roared down Sunset Boulevard, with Robert Downey Jr. at the wheel, riding high from the success of "Deadpool" and on the brink of A-list stardom. On top of that, his impending marriage to Susan Levin was the cherry on top, marking both his personal and professional life as flourishing.

The guest list for the party was small, primarily close friends and some well-acquainted colleagues from the set.

As Downey Jr. drove, pondering what pranks his mischievous friends had in store, he knew they wouldn't miss this opportunity for revenge. His notorious sharp tongue had made him many playful enemies.

Exiting from Beverly Hills, Downey Jr. first stopped at the wedding planning company to sort out some minor issues before heading towards Viper Nightclub located in the Sunset Strip.

The red Porsche cruised past the northern boundary of UCLA, with towering palm trees and movie billboards speeding by, soon reaching the bustling Sunset Strip.

The "Sunset Strip," known for its outdoor bars, cafes, restaurants, and designer stores, is the nightlife hub of the City of Angels. Viper Nightclub, once notorious and founded by Johnny Depp among others, had become one of Hollywood's most famous night spots despite its scandalous reputation.

In recent years, Johnny Depp had sold his shares, and aside from the name, the nightclub had little to do with him.

From a distance, Downey Jr. could see Murphy and his gang waiting outside.

They were waiting for him? What had they prepared? Downey Jr. grew wary.

But what had to be faced, could not be avoided. He knew he'd have his chance for revenge eventually since none of his pranksters were married yet.

Downey Jr. expertly parked his Porsche right in front of the nightclub.

He got out, waving at Murphy's group, "Hey, everyone."

Murphy, arms crossed, had a look of anticipation, clearly awaiting the commencement of their planned mischief.

Was it starting already? Downey Jr. looked carefully for any traps they might have set from his car to the nightclub entrance.

After a thorough check revealing nothing amiss, he glanced at Murphy with heightened alertness.

If it was just verbal sparring, Downey Jr. was confident against even a dozen Murphys. But if Murphy took action...

Downey Jr. recalled the silent, deadly Murphy Stanton in jail, making life miserable for his unlucky targets.

He had been particularly sharp-tongued recently, but surely Murphy wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics? Downey Jr. was filled with dread, the anticipation of an unknown horror being the most terrifying.

Murphy pointed at Downey Jr.'s brand-new Porsche 911.

"What?" Downey Jr. quickly looked back.

A bearded black man ran up to the Porsche, climbed onto the hood, unzipped his pants, and pulled out a dark object, aiming straight for the car's windshield.

Downey Jr. closed his eyes, mentally shouting, "Murphy Stanton! Wait and see! I'll get my revenge."

Without any hesitation, the man "cleaned" the Porsche's windshield right there in public.

Murphy struggled to contain his laughter, watching Downey Jr. This level of prank was light for them, merely setting the stage for Downey Jr. to plan his revenge later.

"Cool! That's so damn cool!"

Jonah Hill, following Murphy, exclaimed excitedly, "Yes! Do it! Give him more! Keep going, don't stop! This is so satisfying!"

Clearly, Murphy wasn't the only one who had been on the receiving end of Downey Jr.'s sharp tongue.

James Franco and Seth Rogen laughed uncontrollably, while Paul Wilson pulled out a camera to record the scene, and David Robie and others reveled in the moment.

At that moment, Downey Jr. was their common enemy.

After the man finished and swaggered off, Downey Jr., resigned, spread his hands, "You guys, enjoy this now, but I won't let you off in the future."

Murphy knew what he meant and delivered a final blow, "Sorry, Downey, I never planned to have a bachelor party."

Downey Jr. retorted fiercely, "Is that up to you, Murphy? Even if you don't have one, I'll organize it for you, and then..."

He stopped mid-sentence as Murphy turned and entered the nightclub.

"Downey, hurry up!" Jonah Hill called out loudly, "We're all waiting!"

Resigned to his fate, Downey Jr. braced himself and entered the Viper Nightclub.

Jonah Hill, following closely behind Murphy, asked, "Where did you find such a character?"

"I paid Paul $500 to hire him," Murphy revealed the source of their entertainer.

"Seth Rogen, clearly a victim of Downey Jr.'s verbal assaults, agreed, "That was so cathartic!"

Settling down, Murphy inquired, "What have you guys planned?"

"It's a secret!" Jonah Hill remained tight-lipped.

James Franco added, "It'll be unforgettable for Downey."

As Downey Jr. entered, the nightclub's music suddenly blasted, and a group of scantily clad strippers took to the stage, transforming the quiet venue into a den of iniquity.

But the night's theme wasn't just debauchery; the focus was on pranking Downey Jr.

This bachelor party felt more like a revenge fest.

The bartender delivered Downey Jr.'s requested cocktail, which he spat out after one sip. The concoction, courtesy of Seth Rogen, contained something described as a "top-tier dark beverage" from a Canadian farm.

After that experience, Downey Jr. didn't dare touch another drink. Hungry, he picked up a pie that looked and smelled delicious. He inspected and sniffed it for any tampering before taking a bite.

But after chewing a few times, he realized the pie's filling was far from normal—it was filled with worms.

"It's high in protein!" Jonah Hill exclaimed excitedly, "I had it specially brought from the Netherlands! Don't waste it, Downey, it's very nutritious."

Downey Jr. involuntarily dropped the remaining half of the insect-laden pie.

Eating such things wasn't as horrific as it seemed—the filling was just mealworms.

"Jim, Jonah..." Murphy intentionally raised his voice, "What's the worst thing about finding worms in your food?"

"Ten worms!"

"A hundred worms!"

"The more, the

 worse!"

Amid the chaotic responses, Murphy looked at Downey Jr. and said clearly, "The worst is finding half a worm!"

Downey Jr., being smart, immediately grasped Murphy's implication and couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ugh..."

He vomited, quickly disposing of the contents in his mouth and dashed towards the restroom.

"It's over..." Paul Wilson said sympathetically, closing his eyes.

Earlier in the afternoon, James Franco, the first to arrive, had warned everyone to use the restroom on the second floor and avoid the men's room on the first floor at all costs.

Murphy and the others eagerly anticipated Downey Jr.'s misfortune.

Not long after, Downey Jr. emerged from the restroom, his previously neat attire now completely covered in white, resembling a mythical snowman.

"Who did this!" he shouted, "Who's responsible! Murphy Stanton, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and James Franco, I swear I'll turn your bachelor parties into nightmares!"

"What did you use?" Jonah Hill asked curiously.

James Franco shrugged, "Just regular cream."

Ultimately, Downey Jr. left the Viper Nightclub in a disheveled state, marking the end of Murphy and the gang's pranks, as Downey Jr.'s wedding was next.
