Noah's words made Chloe curious. He said that like it ans sothing and it sounded like she should know who the fighters are, so she paid attention to the screen. The man in the black uniform was explaining the rules, and it was just as Noah said. The winner gets what they wanted.
"For the Black tribe, representing the challengers… we have Jacob!", the announcer shouted and there was so noise when a bulky man appeared on the screen.
"For the Chaos club, representing the house, we have Mr. A!", the announcer shouted and there were… crickets.
People murmured while wondering who this 'Mr. A' is.
Two seconds later, a commotion started in the area where the fights are happening and then the club exploded into noise when all screens showed Aiden.
Chloe jumped in her chair. Her ears were aching, but she was embarrassed to cover them up. Why are people so excited? And isn't that Aiden White? It took her a second to connect the dots that Aiden is 'Mr. A' and that he will be fighting.
Chloe understood that this is what Noah ant when he told her that there will be more noise when the fighters are revealed. And she definitely knows one of the fighters. She was not aware that Aiden is such a celebrity. Is it because he is the owner? Her eyes widened when she realized that Aiden will fight that big guy.
She concluded how both Sarah and Aiden are impressive with their businesses and this club and now Aiden will fight, and they even got a man like Noah to work for them. No wonder people admire Whites, Chloe thought.
The cara showed soone in a black outfit placing a chair right next to the fighting arena, in the sealed-off area where patrons can't co, and another round of noise sounded when Sarah made an appearance and sat on the chair, like a queen.
Sarah was smiling brightly, and her sparkling eyes full of admiration were focused on Aiden like no one else exists in the world.
Sarah would normally stand, but now she was pregnant, and Aiden didn't want her to stand too much and get swollen feet. Her pregnancy belly is barely visible and fully covered with Sarah's outfit, but Aiden knew that Logan is inside, and this ti Logan will watch his daddy beat the crap out of a guy who dared to challenge mommy's decision.
Masika and Zack stood behind Sarah. Their backs were straight and their arms behind their backs. Allen and Julius were also there as well as Haru, Nala, Oni, Michael, Tejan, Rosa, Daniel, Xiaohui, and several other kids, all dressed up in matching black uniforms and standing behind Sarah, looking impressive and imposing as queen's personal guards.
Usually, Sarah would not ask her kids to make this display, but tonight she knew that Aiden would humiliate one prideful boss and she hoped that this show of strength will deter the man from doing anything reckless. Him admitting a defeat and leaving this place would be for the best, but she suspected that the man will not give up easily. If he wanted to give up, he would accept the lowkey rejection over the phone, and not issue this challenge. However, for many of these people, their image is important and unfortunately for this boss, Aiden is about to crush his.
The kids from the Cliffside Villa co to the Chaos nightclub occasionally, mostly in order to fight in the arena. Getting an external experience is beneficial for their growth. They would usually coordinate and co a few at a ti so that they don't create a long queue while waiting for their turn to fight, but now Sarah and Aiden were here, so they all decided to tag along. Ron and Zula were upset to miss this, they were away on business related to Heinelurgy.
Watching Aiden fight against an outsider was an unexpected treat for the kids. Aiden spars with them as a ntor, holding back his strength because he is training them. They are all excited to see how this will turn out and they hope that Jacob is strong enough so that Aiden does not need to hold back.
"Place your bets!", the announcer shouted. "The fight starts in three minutes!"
Jacob eyed Aiden and he was not sure what the commotion was about when Aiden showed up. Sure, even under that black t-shirt and pants, it was obvious that Aiden is fit, but Jacob is bigger than Aiden and confident that he can take Aiden down.
Jacob sneered, ready to taunt Aiden, how they usually do before a fight, and Jacob was left with his mouth half-open when Aiden stepped out of the fighting enclosure and walked to Sarah.
Sarah stood up to talk to Aiden. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you prepare for the fight?"
"I am here to prepare for the fight…", Aiden said and pulled Sarah closer for a kiss.
If this were Sarah from before, she would push Aiden away or avoid him shyly, but this Sarah didn't care, and she enjoyed their public display of affection. Her arms snaked around his neck and she returned his kisses with fervor at the delight of the cheering audience.
The noise in the club increased by a few notches when the cara zood onto Sarah and Aiden, showing them in full display, like a kiss-cam at the basketball gas with the difference that this was not a chaste kiss which usually happens during those gas. This kiss was hot and steamy, and it made normal people look away and blush. However, many people present were either associated with the Army of Chaos, or employees of the club, which ans they are not normal people. Actually, they all enjoyed seeing how lovey-dovey their leaders are and that included their kids who were still standing in attention, but with smiles on their faces.
At the bar…
Noah glanced at Chloe who stared at the screen without blinking while her cheeks were fiery red.
"Enjoying the show?", Noah asked her teasingly.
Over the years, Noah got numb to Aiden's and Sarah's public display of affection, and Aiden would sotis give Sarah extra kisses only because Noah was present.
Chloe slowly peeled her eyes from the screen and looked at Noah. "I think it's admirable that they are not concealing their feelings. Many people are not willing to admit to themselves that they love soone because they believe it makes them vulnerable and weak, and it takes a lot of courage to show it to the world."
Noah didn't expect this answer from Chloe. Her response told him that she grew up in an environnt that is stringent, and she had to hold many things back. He wondered if she ever concealed her feelings toward soone. Probably.
In the fighting arena…
Jacob turned to his boss and spoke through the wires which enclosed the fighting area: "What is the aning of this?" He didn't think much of Aiden, and now seeing this carefree behavior, Jacob was not sure if Aiden is reckless or stupid.
His boss had an unreadable expression. "Don't let him provoke you. Focus on the fight." He didn't want to say that Jacob is in trouble. He didn't know that Sarah was Nyx but based on the chair that was placed for her, he was aware that she is important. And then the fighter kissed her openly, which ans that he is soone important as well. And all that was reinforced by the booming support they got from the crowd by just appearing here.
