Chapter 10 - An Unexpected Meeting

Troy use to refrain from going to such areas of socializing before due to his previous lack of confidence, but now at a dire situation, these clubs were his only choice. The club he had chosen was called the Blue Paradise, and was a pretty posh Bar & Lounge in this street. Not every citizen would be able to afford this club and so it would not be crowded. With the 20 million in his account the last thing he was worried about was money. With his newly gained confidence, Troy walked up to the entrance of the club. Generally, the bouncer at the entrance would deny entry to anyone who was not dressed in fashionable brands, but after looking at Troy, he did not hassle and let him in. Although the clothes he was wearing was from regular brands, his immensely handsome face and confident bearing did the trick. 

Troy entered a club for the first time in his life. He stood one moment to take in the surroundings. The flashing lights, loud music almost giving him a headache but using his spirit aura he was able to cut off most of it as he sharpened his ears to catch anything significant. He thought for a moment and went straight to the bar. He ordered a glass of whiskey and sipped on it slowly. In his previous life Troy had taken to whiskey after his first heartbreak in college. Remembering the blonde hair beauty who was the cause of it all, he smiled deprecatingly and tasted the familiar alcohol taste. He felt much better as the alcohol this time tasted much better than previous life, which Troy summed up to his mental conditions. Last time he drank it was out of bitterness but this time it was more due to eagerness for his upcoming life.

The time was 6:30 pm, and the club had gotten lively. Troy had been sitting at the bar for the last 15 minutes trying to figure out how to approach a woman. He had never done that before except once in his previous life. Unknown to him Troy's presence at the bar had livened up the scene at the club. Every woman present there whether single or with a date could not help but notice him. His handsome face and strong aura doing the trick. It was not long before Troy was approached by several women of varying ages, shape and color but he kept rejecting them all.

Why you say, because as a spirit aura user he could read the aura from most of these women and they reeked heavily of multiple men, some even reeked of STDs and drugs. He did not want to have his first time with a total slut. Exasperated, Troy went out into the back alley, to have a smoke, another bad habit from his previous life, but with his spirit aura now he could easily negate the harmful effects of drinking and smoking. Soon as Troy stepped out he could here a couple arguing. 

In a moment he was able to see them. A short fat looking man was trying to force something on the woman. Troy could only see the woman's back but it somehow felt familiar. He decided to intervene, "Hey what's going on here? What are you trying to do the lady?" The shocked fatty immediately let go off the woman. Troy could see that he was holding a drink in his hand which he was trying to force the woman to drink. Using his spirit sense he was able to make out that the drink had some kind of drug mixed in and the lady probably had caught onto that and was resisting. 

The lady in question was looking at Troy with wide eyes. One can notice shock, relief, anxiety and apprehension in her eyes. The reason behind that was because the lady and Troy were not strangers at all rather acquaintances. This lady, Amanda Reeves was also living in the same society as Troy. She lived in the western end of the society, and was not a stranger to the Carter family. Ofcourse they were not as well acquainted as the Carter's close neighbors, but having lived in the society for 15 years with her husband, she was well known. Yes, the reason she was anxious because she was a married woman who was hanging out in a singles club, and got seen by a neighbor. Although she was relieved that someone intervened she felt anxious because Troy could easily rat her out to her husband.

Troy on the other hand had recognized Amanda immediately, as she was not only another goddess from his society, she was a well respected figure in the society, by both men and women and took an integral part on many of the societies events. She was well known for being a kind, virtuos and beautiful lady, like a role model for ideal housewife. She had been married to her husband Dan Reeves for 20 years now and had two children who have grown up and built their own lives. So he was shocked to see her in a club like this. Troy, at first was not sure whether to help but seeing the troubled and scared expression on Amanda's face his conscience got the better of him. 

The fatty clearly disgruntled by the interference spoke up in an arrogant tone, "Brat, what are you doing intervening with me and my date. Get lost, before I started throwing punches." Troy's handsome appearance had immediately lit a fire in the fatty's heart.

Troy calmly stepped forward shielding Amanda behind him, "Really! I would like to see you try" he said as he directly faced the fatty. Troy stood almost a feet taller than the fatty and his aura influenced by his bloodline leaked out a little, as the fat man felt death looming over him. 

"You, you..." as the man fumbled to put together words, Troy calmly put a hand on his shoulder. The immense strength coming from that arm made the fatty sweat bullets as he understood that Troy's strength far surpassed him.

"Let it go, the lady clearly is not interested, and I know the roofie you put in that drink, I also know that you have some more left in the left pocket of your trousers. I'm giving one and only chance to back off or otherwise I will alert the bouncers about the situation. You clearly don't want that right" Troy whispered into his ears like the devil.

The fatty started sweating even more. He did not understand how this guy knew all this but he was right, he did have leftover party drugs in his trouser pocket. If he got caught, will it not only mean expulsion from the club but could include jail time. He gave Troy a scared glance before scampering of like the coward he was. Troy breathed a sigh of relief that he had not to resort to violence and looked back at Amanda, who he was shielding, and asked with a charming smile, "Mrs. Reeves, are you okay? Did the guy do something to you? It's alright now, he can't hurt you anymore."
