BXBX NOVEL Chapter 856 - Black & White Club (2)
Sarah got an idea and tapped her earpiece.
"Eve, turn on my lenses.", Sarah spoke softly.
Her vision flickered few times before it stabilized. Everything looked normal, except for additional information that was visible only to her: \'Operational: 100%, select your options…\'
Sarah extended her hand in front of her and made tapping motion which landed on \'options…\' which expanded to: \'environment information, living creatures, vision type, vision sharing…\' She tapped on \'living creatures\' and it expanded to: \'all, humans only…\', Sarah tapped on \'humans only\' and information was shown: \'In visible range: 162 people, in 5 m radius: 11 people… close proximity without obstacles: 5 people…\'
Sarah started going through vision types and experimented with x-ray, and heat sources. It was fun to look at bunch of bones moving around and different hues of red and orange, but it didn\'t make any sense in this big crowd.
A man with microphone just outside caged arena announced the beginning of the fight, and the crowd fell silent.
Sarah switched to normal vision and zoomed in to two men inside arena who are eyeing each other.
Both have large builds, and their muscular tops are exposed.
Two fighters circled around edges of the arena slowly while gauging the perfect moment to strike, and Sarah used this as an opportunity to play with zoom levels. She was pleased that she can see their scars clearly. Oh, this Eve-vision is wonderful! She zoomed out enough to be able to follow the fight like she is standing in the front rows of audience.
Fight with no rules. Ends when one can\'t continue fighting or admits a defeat. Exciting.
As the tension between men increased, Sarah inhaled. In a split second they leaped toward each other, and the man with longer blonde hair scored a clean hit with his elbow to the other man\'s jaw, and the fight was over. Sarah released the breath she was holding. That was… disappointing.
After a second of silence, crowd erupted in cheers and screams, and the original chaos was restored.
Three men entered the cage. Two dragged out unconscious poor loser-guy, while third one held a microphone and his voice boomed over the screams: "Aaaaand this is the seventh consecutive win for powerful RHINO! Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who placed bets on Rhino, this is a good time to go and collect your winnings! He needs three more wins and he gets the right to challenge any of our four champions and score some big prizes!"
The man gestured toward the top, and large screens hanging up in the air above arena displayed large names:
\'2. Shift
3. Jade
4. Amber
5. Blackstain\'
The crowd\'s screams intensified.
Sarah frowned slightly when she concluded based on this that Shift, Jade and Amber are some type of fighting champions in this underground arena. So, this glass enclosure is something like seating for top fighters… but why is #1 spot form that list missing? And who is Blackstain?
The man with the microphone waved his hands for crowd to calm down before continued: "Aaaaaand if Rhino manages to win against two of our exquisite champions, he gets to challenge our untouchable, undefeated…" He gestured up toward the screens, where big letters flashed:
\'Mr. A\'
Sarah\'s eyebrows shoot up and she looked at Aiden.
He felt her gaze (or he expected it) and turned to her.
Sarah pointed toward the big screens which still flashed: \'Mr. A\', and he smiled and walked toward her.
He ignored four people who were left talking to him… without him.
Sarah frowned when she saw displeasure on both Jade\'s and Amber\'s faces. Aiden came with her, holding her… silently displaying to everyone that two of them are a couple. How dare those two women show her such ugly expressions?
Aiden stopped half a step away from Sarah and assumed that her frown is because she fears that he will go and fight, and they came here for a different reason.
He spoke gently: "Don\'t worry, I will not fight. It\'s rare that someone gets ten consecutive wins, and on few occasions when that happened, no one won against those four. All of them are strong."
Sarah\'s mouth twitched when she heard that he called those other people strong. Especially Amber and Jade who are obviously interested in him. She is in this glass enclosure for few minutes, but with every second her emotions swelled, and Sarah realized that she needs an outlet. Maybe she should ask him for an explanation before allowing this emotional turmoil to consume her. But what will she ask? \'Aiden, honey, did you sleep with those two women?\' And what will he respond? Will he dare to confirm? Or will he deny it? If he denies, will she believe that is the truth, or is he saying that only to pacify her?
Sarah realized that she is jealous, and that she can\'t control it… it\'s suffocating her… thought that Aiden touched any of those two women… and they are close to him, looking at him… breathing in the same air… anger… rage… red…
"Sarah, love?", Aiden pulled her in his embrace. "What is going on in that head of yours?"
She tried pushing him away, but he didn\'t let her. He tightened his hold.
Sarah felt even more incensed at the thought that he is holding her and not letting her vent her anger. But no matter how much she struggles, unless she hurts him she will not be able to step away. And she does not want to hurt him.
When she stopped resisting, Aiden touched his earpiece. "Eve, disable color changing on Sarah\'s lenses."
The man in the caged arena spoke again: "Who is our next challenger? Anyone…?"
Sarah got her face out of Aiden\'s chest and turned her head sideways to look toward the arena.
"Here we go! Your name…?" Man\'s voice boomed. "Ross! … Ladies and gentlemen, Ross is the new challenger! Place your bets, Rhino vs Ross! You have one minute!"
Big screens above arena displayed: \'Rhino vs Ross\' and below was a timer which counted down starting from 59 seconds.
