Chapter 58: Unexpected Trouble?

Unlike what he imagined, Nikolai and the two women didn't need to do anything special. It seemed the issue was that the Silver Clan's heirs were letting the Hati clan's members enter and take girls while they were drunk.

'I can't believe they lack the charm to just seduce someone.' Nikolai thought to himself.

[Well, they are a clan that seeks more members to overthrow the pureblooded nobles and aristocrats.]

'I see...'

Nikita wore a lovely back jacket with a wine-red blouse and a long flowing skirt with stockings. Meanwhile, Selene's chest brought quite a lot of attention with her wearing a strapless dress that was black and white, with a rose pinned to the chest.

'Those breasts are destructive...'

[...]

"Nikolai, do you have any plans?" Selene whispered to him while handing him a glass of a small red cocktail with a cherry floating on the top.

"Not really. I don't even know what we should look for, how about you?" He replied while drinking the cocktail; it was a little sharp and dry with a sickly taste. However, he didn't dislike it. The colour and taste reminded him of Selene's eyes.

He noticed Nikita flinch, her hand holding two mugs of a lemon-scented cocktail with his favourite larger mixed with citrus fruits.

'Why do you look so sad? Silly girl...'

Nikolai took the glass from her, the chilled feeling comfortable as he began to drink it with huge gulps. The lemon beer was so refreshing after drinking the sickly sweet yet tart cherry cocktail, and he was rather surprised the two complimented each other well.

A red cocktail like Selene's eyes, then a golden beer like Nikita's...

'Haha...'

[You just compared the two women to the drinks, didn't you? Where is the single-minded Nikolai of a few days ago~ ah, poor Ivan, your son is going to be a playboy!]

"Was that for me, Nikita? Thank you~ I really like this beer, and the lemon taste is delicious."

'Cute.'

The night seemed to drag on for a while. The people from the Silver and Hati clans were drunk or busy chatting and playing. Nikolai didn't recognise them, but Selene constantly whispered in his ear, while Eliza would also comment, so now there were only three targets in the bar: Amon Silver, Skoll Hati and Devon Silver.

'It seems the two are trying to win over this Hati Skoll guy...'

Amon and Devon's Silver were thirty-year-old brothers with faded grey hair, nothing like Ivan's brilliant silvery white hair; it was like a dull, faded colour. In reality, it was a shame for their clan because once, the Silver clan was part of the Fenrir clan with snow-white fur and part of the noble faction.

Amon was quite handsome with blue eyes, while Devon inherited his mother's brown eyes.

However, Skoll was different; his hair was jet black, and his eyes too, as if there was no light within them.

'I need to get closer to hear them... All the noise is blocking my hearing. I can only make out a few words.'

Nikolai leaned forward and asked the bartender for another beer, one of the popular cocktails, and even a fruity cocktail that tasted of oranges.

He ordered one for Selene and the other for Nikita; despite sitting beside him, the two were constantly being invited by other men, which made Nikolai irritated... Yet he didn't feel the need to become jealous or shout out as people in novels might; instead, his arm just wrapped around their waists, and he gave a lecherous grin.

It seemed the girls didn't dislike it, and the men were terrified of him for some reason...

'It's not like I'm angry...'

[Have you seen the bloodlust in your eyes?!]

'Ehhh?'

Nikolai tilted his head and looked into the mirror. Indeed, his eyes shone with a bone-chilling bloodlust, and his expression was like an assassin aiming to kill, cold and indifferent. Yet his chest was calm despite all this, so he just shrugged and pushed the two cocktails to Selene and Nikita.

"Oh? A fine choice for me, did you know I liked this drink? The Blood Orange Margarita here is pretty good, thanks Nikolai."

"I didn't know you liked these. They're more suited for the princesses..." Nikita's words trailed off, and Selene looked strange, her lips touching the glass as she turned away, her cheeks turning red.

She then began to mutter into the glass, "I'm a princess~ It's the first time he said so, hmph..."

Nikita held a blue cocktail with a little crushed ice inside, her eyes gazing at him like shining stars. "Nikolai, what's this?"

"It's called Chi-Chi and is a very interesting and beautiful drink for a lovely girl. It's a rather rare drink but I saw it on the menu and thought of you."

When reading the menu, he thought of the ingredients and imagined her liking it, with blue curaçao, cream of coconut, and fresh pineapple as the base ingredients, then a nice double shot of vodka because Nikita loved vodka and some ice cream to finish it, a small amount but the drink was like a dessert.

'Nikita loves desserts but hates cocktails... so I thought this might be a good one for her.'

As she said so, her lips touched the straw, and her face flushed red.

Nikolai stared into her eyes, and she lowered her eyes in embarrassment, then took a sip with her cheeks swelling as she enjoyed the sharp taste of the vodka mixing with the sweet and sour additions.

He couldn't help resting on his hand and watching the two enjoying their drinks before he saw the targets make a move.

On the dancefloor, there was a woman, a woman he thought was familiar... wavy blonde hair, blue eyes and a long green dress with frills across the bottom.

'Is that Sarah?'

Indeed, it was the woman, Sarah, who had been helping him for the past few days after they last met. He gave her a list of tasks and arranged a standing order for money to be paid to her each month to help her complete everything.

However, it was a little strange she came to this part of the city to have fun, no... it seemed that she was having some kind of meeting.

'Those people on the table seem to be with her, is it a gathering or reunion or something?'

"Nikolai~ what is wrong?" Nikita licked the small spoon on the end of her straw, turning her lovely pink tongue bright blue before she noticed his gaze towards Sarah Maddison, then looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Adultery?"

"No. I'm kind of like her boss and she is being approached by that guy, look. It's Devon," he replied, still watching the woman. She was not a bad-looking woman, and her figure was quite voluptuous, so he wondered why she didn't have a lover when she was so beautiful.

'Well she did try to seduce me several times... I don't know if she even realises the danger she and her friends are in... Wait?!'

Devon started speaking to the male at the head seat of her table. His brown curly hair and dull red eyes felt a little strange as he wore a rather plain shirt, looking like a waiter and not a rich young man.

"It's him, look, that's Amon."

"Yes, it is..."

Selene, this time, seemed to have stopped her strange actions and saw Amon go towards another table, speaking to another male with features close to the one at Sarah's. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'What's going on?' Nikolai thought; while watching Skoll, he noticed him looking between the two tables and tapping his own.

'Is he choosing which one to pick? The entire table?'

[I think you are right...]

"Nikolai... it's dangerous, we should message Lucas."

Nikolai watched as the pair began to speak to the women, many of them blushing at the handsome twins, while he felt a little conflicted because Sarah was someone he couldn't lose... Yet he didn't want to ruin things here. 'Damn it!'

"We're going to follow them, Nikita and Selene you take Amon, and make sure nothing happens to that table, there are more girls there to help if something goes wrong."

"Eh? No way...!"

"Are you sure, Nikolai? you could get hurt or die!"

"I'll take Lucas; make sure you let him know my actions; we can't lose both because we all stuck together, and you two are more powerful than me... so both should be able to take Amon down fast. Nikita, I know you have a tracking app on my phone. Just use that..."

'I have on too...' Selene thought to herself.

Amon Silver and Skoll Hati both led the women from the table, taking four girls to the second floor and heading into separate rooms.

Selene and Nikita followed them without issue, thanks to their prestige. Meanwhile, Devon seemed to have done something strange as the girls looked a little dizzy and headed for the back door, with the women following.

'Tsk... dirty tricks.'

It was time to see what unexpected trouble Nikolai could get himself into. He pulled up his hood and, thanks to his improved abilities, managed to sneak through the door before being noticed, thanks to his blood art directing people's vision away from himself.

'In reality, I just wanted to fight alone so I could consume all their blood~ hahaha.'
