Chapter 42 - Bar

Once they landed in the made it in the city, Harley would jump out of Ethan's arms and pull him along with her as she giggled happily.

It was their first date and she wanted to make it special for both of them. And with that in mind, she thought of doing something a bit risky as she has been holding herself back. Ever since that night they poured out their feelings for the other, she has been really craving for Ethan's touch again.

The villainess was already deeply in love with him, but now she wanted to be covered in his manly scent, overpowering everything else so that it felt like he was on her at all times. The blondie had the urge to be dominated by him and gazed at with those charming red eyes of his.

She didn't quite know why she was wanting it more than usual, but honestly, she didn't quite care.

'Ah...~ Ethan...I want your child so much... I don't care how long it takes. All I know is that I want your baby...' Harley thought as she stopped to embrace Ethan, playfully biting on his neck in public while taking in his scent.

The people that witnessed this were either disgusted or jealous, however, it was none of their business on what they do in public as long as it's not illegal.

A thin red aura wrapped around the villainess's body during this moment, but it quickly went away after she was interrupted by Ethan's voice.

"I didn't know girls did this on first dates." Ethan grinned. He could feel himself becoming a bit aroused but manages to keep himself composed given their location. However, not even that may hold him back long from taking her right then and there.

Harley would let out a quite provocative sigh as gives his neck a slight peck, "I'm just not any girl... Hey, promise me something Honeybun.."

"Hmm?"

"When I say stop... Don't." Harley whispered while letting out a low growl.

"Huh?" Ethan was confused.

"Let's go get some drinks!" Harley suddenly chirped, pulling him along once again as she laughed.

The two would hit up a few spots, the first being a bar to grab a few drinks. It was a pretty rowdy place with people that oblivious weren't law-abiding citizens. However, they didn't care and they weren't carded for their drinks. Ethan had never had alcohol before, but even after had a few drinks, he didn't quite feel anything which was probably because of his high immunity to poison.

'Wonder how much I would need to drink to get drunk?' He thought as he watched Harley throw one back one after the other.

The place had music going on with a few people on the dance floor and seeing that gave the villainess an idea.

"Honeybun! Come dance with me!" Harley shouted as she pulled him to the dance floor, however, he would immediately frown.

"I can't dance whatsoever." He said, shaking his head.

"I don't care! Just come oooon!" She pleaded.

As she tried to convince Ethan to dance with her, a tall burly man walked over to them.

"Hey, if he doesn't wanna dance. Then I will! Hahaha! I'll even show ya a good time." The man laughed as ogled at Harley's body. She had long removed her jacket, and so her body could clearly be seen.

Seeing this man trying to steal his mate immediately made him want to kill him, but someone was even faster.

*Bam!* Harley punched the man directly in his jaw, knocking out a tooth as he fell back on a nearby table, crushing it and everything on it.

The man was in pain, but it wasn't enough to knock him out and he tried to get back up.

'I'm going to fuck the shit out of that woman and kill her!' He thought as he gritted his teeth.

However, the man found himself unable to move as there happened to be a foot pressing down hard on top of his head.

In his mind, he couldn't believe that this slightly petite woman could keep someone as big as him down with just a foot.

"Get off of me-Aaahhh!!" The man started to feel the pressure increase, causing him to painfully shout which immediately caught everyone's attention in the bar.

Harley was furious right now which was represented with her eyes that flashed with a red light. "Interrupt me again...and I'll rip your balls off and choke you with them. I promise you that it will not be pretty." She growled.

Soon after the threat a few of the man's friends would come over to help, but they were stopped with just a look from Harley.

It seemed the air around them dropped a few temperatures causing them to shudder as sweat dripped down their backs. The feeling she gave off was that of a predator, one that wasn't out to kill out of need but out pure hatred.

"Harley...let's just go. Think we ruined the fun here." Ethan whispered into her ear, causing her to quickly calm down and turn to a girl that was crazy in love.

"Ok," Harley said sweetly, but not without kicking the man across the floor, knocking him into several people. However, even they didn't want to do anything.

As they were walking out, the bar owner quickly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at their heads.

"Pay for the broken stuff." The man scowled. The place is a known hotspot for criminals and the like so of course, the owner was packing. He didn't have to worry about the repercussions because the place was backed by a person who had a lot of connections to the criminal underworld.

"Pay for the stuff and then you can leave with your bitch of a girlfriend!" He yelled as he cocked the hammer back.

"I'm gonna tear-" Harley began to speak but was stopped by Ethan who casually walked over to the owner which already set off a few red flags as a normal person would be scared.

The bar owner stepped back, waving his gun around, "Stay where you are! If you can't pull out a thousand right now then I'll shoot!"

However, Ethan continued to walk towards the man.

"That's it!" The man shouted, pulling the trigger.

*Bang!* The hot bullet left the chamber and flew straight towards Ethan's head, threatening to kill him on impact.

People thought they would have a dead body tonight, but only Harley would think otherwise as there was nothing but a calm smile on her face.

As the bullet moved towards his face, Ethan's red eyes seemed to glow as disappeared from the man's sight along with the bullet.

"What The-Mmmm!!!" The man couldn't finish his sentence as something blazing hot was burning his tongue while his mouth was forced shut by a powerful hand.

"Mmmm!!" Tears filled the bar owner's eyes as squirmed to free himself to spit out what he knew was the bullet he shot at Ethan.

He was forced to stand and let his tongue be scorched by the bullet as he was lifted into the air by just one hand.

"I could have paid if you asked nicely," Ethan muttered, snatching the gun away from him and crushing it in between his fingers as it was mere dough.

"Now how about you pay me for threatening my life. How does that sound?" He growled, but the man could only groan in pain as he tried to nod his head.

During this time, Ethan had zeroed in on the man ignoring all the noise around him until he heard screaming coming from behind the counter.

'Harley, come check behind this counter.' He mentally said to her and it only took one time for the villainess to hop over the bar counter.

"Huh? I hear someone back here."

The bar owner's eyes widen, "MMMM!!" He groaned even louder whilst trying to free himself once again.

*Click Click Click!* Soon after, several people from the crowd pulled out their own guns.

"I think it's time for you two to leave." One of them said as everyone else that wasn't involved scattered from the bar while pushing each other out the exit.

"I think there is some secret entrance here," Harley said, ignoring everything else while she checks everything over.

"Hey! Get AWAY FROM THERE BITCH!"

The villainess couldn't find a switch so she sid the next best thing.

*BAM! CRASH!* She destroyed the entire shelf with a powerful right kick, sending thousands of dollars worth of alcohol everywhere along with the wood and metal debris.

After everything was out of the way, a dim-lit hallway could be seen and immediately the screaming became more apparent.

"Help! Someone!"

"Anybody!!'

The voices of several women could be heard further back.

" Kill them!!" One of the armed men shouted and instantly they pulled the triggers to their weapons, unloading their bullets towards them.

Harley dashed down the hallway, avoiding the bullets as Ethan simply stood there and used the bar owner as a shield which was reminiscent of that time he protected Alisa.

'If I had more power then I could have done something...' He scowled, walking toward the men with the already dead bar owner in his hand.

And with a shout, he'd toss the corpse toward the crowd, distracting them as he disappeared from their sight, disarming each of them in a matter of seconds by snapping their arms like twigs.

'There's a lot of women back here tied up...some not in good shape. You can guess what kind of place this is.' Harley mentally said sounding a bit pissed off as being taken advantage of struck a chord within her.

The villainess sobered up a little and freed the women from their binds. As soon as they were free they immediately hugged Harley who rolled her eyes a bit. Although, it did feel nice to be thank once in a while by complete strangers.

After hearing what Harley said, Ethan looked at these men who were screaming on the ground whilst holding their arms and thought about ending their lives right then and there.

Seeing the exhausted and abused women walk out with Harley fuel his thought. However, it was when he saw one holding what looked like a 4-year old child in her arms.

The kid was frightened beyond belief and hid their face in the woman's chest as they cried for their parents.

"W-we had nothing do with that! We are just the suppliers! All these women owe a debt and they are paying for it!"

"He's lying! Some of us were snatched off the streets! We...some of us don't have good situations at home..." One of the younger women spoke up as a few others agreed with a nod.

Ethan looked down at the men with disgust and rage reserved for the ones that are considered the scum of the planet. And before he knew it, he moved his hands, pummeling the men with his fists over and over again.

He didn't want these men to die quickly, he wanted them to suffer and then beg for him to take their lives. Not one of them was spared from his beating, breaking their limbs and bloodying their faces as he punched them.

The women weren't shy around violence, but some couldn't bear to watch and quickly left the building to unknown whereabouts.

It wasn't until Harley stopped him when he started to make a scary expression as if he was losing himself again. At first, she somehow found herself being turned on by seeing her man show off his power, but then she had a moment of clarity.

Ethan gasped almost like he was holding his breath for quite some time and dropped the man he was beating like a ragdoll on top of the others.

"....How...how is the kid?" Ethan asked.

"He ended up with us today. Don't worry he wasn't touched... I made sure of it." The woman smiled and taking a close look at her showed that her face was reddened and bruised with a busted open lip. She looked terrible compared to the others, but still, she managed a smile.

"His parents are probably looking for him now... We'll take him to the police." The woman said as she tried to soothe him with gentle back rubs.

"Hahaha...good luck." One of the injured men replied as he painfully laughed.

"What?" Ethan scowled, picking up the man who spoke by the collar of his shirt. "What do you mean by that?"

"Haha!" He continued to laugh before spitting blood towards Ethan's face only for it to be stopped by his hand and wiped back on the man's shirt.

The man wasn't bothered by this and simply grinned which was all Ethan needed to know why.

*Rumble*The ground underneath them started to violently shake.

("Stay calm. It's not worth to get angry over.") Tydris said.
