The Bar
Zed and Alex frowned. Seeing her brothers making this face, she pacified them "Don't worry. I know my limits. I promise I will keep them close and return with that scum, unharmed." There was a fierce look on her face as she said that.
Soon the dawn broke and the city bathed in neon lights. One of the streets in the city was bustling with sea of people as the street was crammed with bars and clubs. The crowd was having the night of their lives there . As it was situated in the shady area of the town, all sorts of activities could be found happening there.
In the private room of one such bar, a burly man with a bloated belly was sitting on the couch surrounded by beautiful young girls. A girl was sitting on his lap as he rested his back on the back of couch, shutting both of his eyes, enjoying the moment. The girl on his lap was seductively tracing his scar which ran from his forehead to his right cheek.
The man in front of him gulped afraid of breaking the news that he brought with him. He trembled as he spoke, "Bo… Boss… Our… our men returned with news."
Obi ran his hands on the naked back of the girl sitting on his right as he chuckled, sending a chill down the man's back who was kneeling in front of him. "Quick tell me, what did that person say? Our men did not agree for a meeting this soon, right? We must make that person pay a hefty price first for the information that I have. It was not easy for me to get to this position after what happened that year."
"N.. no sir. Not that." The man trembled as he continued, "Our men…. Our men didn't even get a chance to talk to that person. He chased and got them beaten up by his people." The man said in one go closing his eyes, not daring to look at the expression on his boss's face right now.
"What did you say?" the room stilled as Obi open his left eye abruptly, glaring at the man. His abrupt actions made the girl on his lap quiver with desolate sense of panic which caused her fingers to tremble, and her nails sank a little deeper on his skin above his injured eye.
Obi flinched with pain and the next moment; he grabbed the neck of the girl with his left hand which was groping her bottom a few seconds ago. "You dared to poke my eye you bitch. You dared to look down on my injured eye?" He gritted his teeth as he tightened the grip on her neck causing her to choke.
His left eye opened, while his right eye appeared to be damaged and remained shut probably due the injury which led to that long scar.
The girl struggled as she tried to break free from his death grip, her face turning blue from red. She wanted to refute his words, to defend herself but the words refused to come out of her mouth as he choked her. Her eyes showcasing her agitation. She continued struggling until her motions became sluggish and her eyes began drooping due to the lack of oxygen. Then, the movements ceased, and her hands slumped down abruptly, losing any sign of life on her.
Once the struggle stopped, Obi released his grip on the girl's neck which caused her body to slump on his chest. He pushed the body away causing it to fall back on the table like a plush toy. Her body finally touching the ground after hitting the edge of the table. He eyes, still open which showcased the horror that she felt just before her death. Fresh blood oozing out of her head due to the impact that her head had with the edge of the table and the ground.
The other girls surrounding the man had the same look of horror in their eyes as they looked on, but they dared not make even a breathing sound unless they wanted to become the next victim.
His underling was shaking in his boots with what just happened. He cursed his stars for being the one to deliver such news to his boss. He was close to lose his conscious out of agitation when…
"Bang" the door of the room was slammed open, followed by a small group of people led by a skinny man clad in black suit and white shirt. The collar buttons opened, revealing his white skin.
