” Son, Where are you? Don’t give me another bullshit about staying at a friend’s house.” Melina scolded Barry on the phone.
” Ahaha, I am really fine, Mom. I just got a part time job at a place. Don’t worry, Nothing is illegal.” Barry answered with a laugh.
” However, I will be unable to return home for a few days. So, Take care of yourself.”
” Also, I sent you a thousand dollars. Buy something good for yourself.”
Melina was stunned when she heard that. ” What? No, I don’t need money right now. Just keep it yourself. I have quite a lot in my savings.”
” Also, I have gotten a scholarship for you. If you get it, your don’t need to take the study loan at all.”
” That’s great news, Mom. You are the best.” Barry was elated. ” I will try to get back soon. Then, We are going to a fancy restaurant and eating a lot.”
” Yeah…”
Melina felt a bit of guilty when she heard that. After all, she has been traveling and eating all around the city. Going to a fancy restaurant didn’t make her excited as it used to be a few days ago.
” Just stay safe and don’t get into any trouble.”
Barry smiled as he ended the call, Looking around, he saw a tall balck man nodding with approval.
” Mama’s call?”
” Yeah, She was just busy.”
” I understand. Mama’s always be like that.” That dude laughed. ” But she ain’t need to worry about the tiger here.”
” You! You are a tiger who is going to shake this jungle.”
” Luke, What are the bets today?” Barry asked with a grin.
” Lucky bastard, It’s against you again.” Luke smacked his lips. ” However, the opponent is also a tough bastard. A mixed martial arts boxer with C grade metahuman strength.”
” C grade metahuman and enhanced strength, you say?” Barry nodded. ” You sure there is nothing extra?”
” No, You know me man.” Luke shrugged. ” I already took all his reports. It’s just a real men’s fight, hand to hand and gritty as fuck.”
” And believe me, The crowd tonight is going to be crazy.”
Barry nodded when he heard that. ” Anyway, I will go and loosen my muscles a bit. Just call me when you are ready.”
” Sure, Bro. Whatever you like.”
Being alone, Barry took a deep breath as he channeled the aura inside his body. His fist glowed with a dim red aura, making it look like it was covered with a layer of crimson coarse grains.
‘ Although this method of training is brutal, the gains are fast and abundant.”
After getting defeated in the auctions, Barry realized his strength was too low. Therefore, he took a break from the school and went to the downtown area.
To the stroke of luck, he saved a person from an intense gunfight. The man turned out to be the gang leader Luke, who was also the owner of one of the biggest underground fighting areas in the city.
Since Barry wished to increase his strength fast, he picked a brutal training regime from the memories of Reinher’s Household. The name was brutal, The Bone Breaking Training.
However, on contrary, the process of the training was simple. First to get beaten or have injuries on the body to a threshold level. Then slowly recover the body only using the aura.
But thanks to Luke’s help, he joined the arena as a newbie fighter. And with the influxes of the fights along with a new coach who trained his body to the maximum, Barry felt he would reach the rank of knight squire soon.
Being a Squire, Barry’s strength will instantly reach one of the peak C rank superhumans. And with his sword skills and others acquired powers, he could even fend off the B rank superhuman.
‘ And if I reach the rank of a Squire this early, I could aim to become a full fledged Knight by the end of this year. And after that, who could even stop me?’
Suddenly, the door opened and a familiar figure walked inside. As Barry was ruminating, he was surprised by the appearance of a familiar person.
” St-Stacy? What are you doing here?”
” Ba-Barry? It’s you?!” Stacy, the neighborhood girl Barry was also stunned. ” I…I was told that some high client seeking some…companionship. I didn’t know it was you!”
At that moment, Barry got Luke’s message on his phone.
” Enjoy some blowing off steam before going to fight. Your bro arranged it.”
Barry’s lips curled when he saw that. Looking back at Stacy, he simply dropped his pants.
Experience tales at empire
” You already got your payment, Stacy. Now get on work.”
Stacy was stunned for a moment. But when she remembered how much she got paid, she had no reasons to refuse.
Getting on her knees, she tied her hair into a ponytail.
” Just an appetizer before the match. We can wrestle after I return.” Barry grinned as he closed his eyes with pleasure.
Hell yeah, this is what he is fighting for.
But, unfortunately, someone already changed the fate which was originally belonged to him.

Ending the call, Melina looked at a pass lying on the bed.
It was a pass to a luxury nightclub, called Moon Flower.
‘ Should I really go? I heard Moon Flower is really a high end club. A normal pass costs a couple of thousand dollars.’
‘ Barry did say C he won’t be coming back for a few days. And, I will be bored in this house anyway.’
Melina looked at her reflection as she reasoned to herself.
‘ This is just…I am just trying to unwind a bit, alright? Maybe a drink or two and that’s all. Nothing else…Nothing at all!”
Mustering her breath, Melina took a quick shower and got ready in a fancy pencil skirt with a matching top. She also wore a premium lingerie beneath the clothing, just in case.
‘ N-No, not just in case. It’s just…It’s so expensive. It would be a waste to not use it, right?” Melina scolded herself.
Now keeping her hair free, she looked at herself in the mirror again.
Prim, Proper, young, and hot as fuck. Her clothing wasn’t that revealing, but it was perfect for a club night.
‘ Damn, When was the last time I smiled when I looked at my mirror. Geeze, my skin looks like glowing.’ Melina chuckled.
Suddenly, a horn honked outside. Melina realized her cab has arrived. But when she walked out, she was stunned.
” A BMW? A BMW for a cab?” Melina was stunned.
” Are you Miss Melina?” The driver asked politely. ” Miss Roxie have arred this ride for you. Please be comfortable.”
” Ah…Sure.” Melina nodded as she got into the car.
” Miss, Are you a friend of Miss Roxie? You look pretty tonight.” The driver gave a light hearted compliment to Melina as he drove the car.
” Ah, Thanks…” Melina blushed a bit, unsure about the sudden compliment. However, her lips widened from the happiness.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the club. When Melina walked i n, she could feel quite some guys throwing glances at her.
Even at her age and being a mom of a college going student, Melina felt for the first time, that she isn’t at a disadvantage before these young chicks.
‘ The trial medicine was truly a miracle medicine. If it comes to the market, won’t all the cosmetic companies would shut down?’ Melina wondered.
She did hear the news about a certain Yin Nourishing Oil and Youth Rejuvenation Ointment selling in Xia Nation. Like most others, she thought it was probably a marketing gimmick.
The club was spacious with an opulent atmosphere. However, after a few rounds of looking around, Melina found a place and sat back.
‘ Truly a rich people’s gathering place. All branded clothes, purses, and watches…’
However, Melina still felt like giggling. In just half an hour, she was asked by at least four men. Of course, Melina only had a small talk with them before leaving.
‘ Guess my charm is still there after all.’
As she walked to the bar counter, someone suddenly sat next to him.
” A Vesper, with a hint of ginger jest, please.”
Melina’s heart throbbed as she looked at the handsome young man sitting beside him. He looked young, but his body and eyes had such a strong mature aura. As if he is a person who has been through the turbulence of decades.
” Oh my, I didn’t notice a beauty beside me.” The young man turned and looked at Melina. ” Can I buy you a drink?”
” A drink? Tha-That’s so sudden.” Melina gave a wry smile. Could it be, he is also trying to pick her up?
” Then why not make it interesting?” The young man suddenly smiled. ” How about I make a drink according to your mood? You will like that, no?”
Melina felt intrigued. She loves challenges after all. ” You don’t even know me, yet you are gambling like this?”
” Why not?” The young man grinned. ” I love the Wheel of Fortune after all.”
” Prepare a drink for this miss. Let me think… Mix whiskey with peach puree, with a dash of lime juice, shake it well, and then put a sprinkle of cranberry droplets on top.”
When the drink arrived, it had a dreamy crimson pink look, making Melinacurious. But when she tried, her curiosity turned into shock.
The punch of whiskey was still there, but the blend of peach puree with a hint of cranberry made it sweet as if she was enjoying her youth years. Not to mention, the very mellow taste of lemon also added a spike to this drink.
” Truly amazing. It’s been a while since I came to a club yet…It perfectly encompasses my feelings.” Melina gasped.
” My name is Melina. I am…” Melina paused briefly before changing what she wanted to say.
” I am just me, Young lady, I guess?”
” I am Jonathan, Jonathan Veneto.” Jonathan smiled.
” May I have the pleasure to spend this night with you?”
