We emerged in a nice club hall with a bar in the middle, and a DJ stand at the back. There were few tables placed along the walls and separated by glass, with a dancefloor placed between the island and the stand.

On the left were stairs leading up to a second floor that was a mezzanine around the hall. There were also a few VIP rooms out there with a view of the main hall.

I immediately noticed few armed guys standing by all exits, even the one I just emerged from, and a bunch of other people at the tables. All men were wearing suits, but the ones at the tables clearly were having more expensive ones. They were also surrounded by women. Some half-naked, others in skin-tight dresses.

One table was especially interesting, as there were few stacks of cash lying on there, not to mention a nice package of something white. A powder if you were to ask me.

The first thing I did was make sure the closes bodyguard will hit his face with the rifle he was armed with. Not hard enough to knock him down, but just enough to say 'Hi'.

- Morning - I said, and placed a barrier in front of me, pumping half of my mana into it, just to make sure it will withstand whatever the can bring. - I'm looking for a gentleman named...

I was forced to turn to face Rachel since the name of her boyfriend escaped me.

- Chris!

I nodded and back to face guns pointed my way from many directions.

- Interesting - said one of the men sitting by the table where a deal was clearly going on.

He stood up, buttoned his jacket, and slowly started walking my way.

- You got Igor beaten up, and you deliver me what I was looking for. I don't remember giving you a job.

- Yeah, let's put the bullshit aside. I came for the guy and if all of you dint want to look like this pal here - I put my hand on Igor's shoulder, he almost jumped - you will not only tell me his whereabouts but also deliver him straight to my hands.

He took a look at his soldier and quickly noticed that something was going on because his face shifted into a more serious one.

- You come to my club and you are threatening me?

- Yep. That's exactly what is happening.

- Do you have any idea who I am? Something's telling me you don't, and you also have no idea what you just got yourself into.

- How about I say the same thing, and then suggest you ask your friend Igor how it's gonna happen if you don't deliver what I want.

He looked again at the thug, and the guy was barely holding himself together. I knew it, and he also did.

- I don't negotiate with people like you - he said with a smirk on his face. - I kill them. Then I kill their family.

- I'm a big believer in second chances, so you officially are getting yours right now.

He snorted, and turned around to walk away, and say from the distance:

- Kill them.

It was a split second for those men to pull the trigger when they already had guns pointed at us, but I was ready, and I was damn fast. It took me a few shadow walks to threw them all around the main hall like ragdolls. Some managed to shoot at the barrier, and girls instinctively ducked covering themselves with their hands. Igor tried to jump to the side for cover, but he hit the barrier and ended on the ground.historical

People with riffles kept shooting while flying so a bit of chaos was unleashed, with the rest looking for cover under the tables, glass breaking, and girls screaming. It ended very quickly, with me landing in front of the boss with 'Eyes of the Void' turned on. He was on his way to hide under the table.

- Congratulations, You fucked up your second chance, but I still need the guy, so you will deliver him to me, and I will consider letting you live.

He opened his mouth to say something but I used 'Telekinesis' to choke him, and lift him up. I also used it to knock down guys who still tried to shoot me.

- If you want to speak, it better be 'yes sir' coming out of your mouth, because this will turn violent if it's not.

Then I dropped him, he landed on his, as and immediately reached to his throat, couching. I gave him few moments, but I quickly regretted it, as that asshole pulled a gun on me. I have no idea how he came to the conclusion it will work, but somehow he did. I allowed him to shot me. He used all bullets, screaming as it would somehow help. It didn't.

- You done? - I asked after, taking of few still hot pieces of metal tightly glued to my face.

This scared the shit out of him, he started to crawl, attempting to escape, so I summoned another shadow champion who climbed his way up the floor like he was coming straight from hell. He grabbed the struggling man, who still had it in him to fight, and brutally dragged him back in front of my face.

In the meantime, few people decided it's a good idea to quietly ditch that place, but I stopped them using more shadows. Also, both Patricia and Rachel stood up from the ground, realizing it's over, and even though some bullets ent their way, all of them crashed on an invisible wall in front of them. They even started touching it.

- I asked if you are done? - I said when the guy was brought in front of me.

He nodded very energetically.

- So, where is my guy Chirs?

- H-he i-is n-not h-here, b-b-but I'll b-b-bring h-him.

- Ok, but I need to make sure you won't fuck me over, so I'm gonna do something you won't like.

I said those words, but I had no idea if this will actually work.. All I knew was that in theory, it should.
