Ryan landed in front of the Orbit bar. The bar had a futuristic look to it as you would expect from its name. Ryan saw Elijah waiting for him outside the bar who just saw him arriving.
"You are fast, I didn't expect you to arrive this soon." Elijah said with a surprised expression on his face.
"You are forgetting that I have wings that can take me anywhere I want." Elijah smirked.
"Are you boasting now?" Elijah narrowed his eyes and said in a dry tone.
"You are damn right." Ryan smiled cheerfully.
"Ryan, can you wait until my sister arrives?" Elijah said while scratching his cheek with an awkward smile on his face.
"Your sister's coming too? That's surprising." Ryan was really surprised by this info because the last time the three of them hung out, many people were hurt.
Oh where did they hang out you ask? Of Course at a drug dealer's den. That was the first and last day they went anywhere together.
"Yup, she had nothing to do so she wanted to join us." Elijah chuckled lightly.
"Let's see how you drink like a maniac now." Ryan couldn't hold his laughter when he realised that Elijah was scared that his sister would beat him up if he got dead drunk.
"I have one more thing to say." Elijah was not done as he had something more to say.
"What is it?" Ryan stood before him and asked him while patting his shoulder.
"Give me some tips to get women, oh great lord of pimps." Elijah bowed and asked the most obnoxious thing one could ask his friend.
"What? Do you think I have experience with multiple women to ask me something like this?" Ryan scoffed
"Don't you have a wife?" Elijah asked while staring at his ring finger.
"Who told you that?" Ryan was confused as he doesn't remember getting married.
"I mean you have a ring on your finger. So you must have married someone." Elijah explained his logic to Ryan.
Ryan looked at his fingers and started laughing hysterically.
"So, you are talking about this." Ryan lifted his hand to show the ring on his finger. The ring shone beautifully as it was made from a special metal and was also an artefact.
"Duh.. why would I ask if not for that ring on your finger?" Elijah scoffed.
"This is not a marriage ring. Selene asked me to wear this because she wanted to let other women know that she's the first." Ryan felt awkward while talking about the reason.
"First? Do you have more women?" Elijah's eyes went wide as he didn't expect his friend to collect women like they were some kind of sports cards.
"No, I don't go around collecting women. Who do you think I am? Zeus?" Ryan was disgusted even after saying that guy's name.
"Why are you bringing up that bacteria's name? That guy might get bitches but he is also a disgusting bastard." Elijah utterly hated Zeus and other Olympians but his hate for one Olympian outshined others.
Who you ask?
I will not say her name but she's one hell of a dirty bitch.
"I can't agree more with my brother. Glad that you didn't change your opinion of them." Ryan felt proud that his friend shared the same view as him.
"What are you idiots talking about?" Olivia asked them as she wondered what they were talking about.
"We are talking about germs." Both of them said in unison.
"What kind of conversation is that? Germs? Did you get diarrhoea?" Olivia asked Elijah with a rare smile on her face.
Elijah quickly looked around to see if anyone heard his sister. He sighed in relief that most people were standing further away from them.
"Don't say things like that in public." Elijah put a finger on his lips and looked around again but this time he found a guy laughing. That guy was trying to hide it but Elijah being a S ranker, could easily see through him.
He glared at that man and said with a mysterious smile "If you spread any baseless rumour I'll spread your ass with an industrial machine and bring goblins to take care of you."
The man shook his head profusely and ran out of there immediately.
"So shall we go inside now?" Ryan yawned as he felt bored standing outside.
"Looks like someone is very eager to drink." Olivia said with a smirk.
Elijah was getting more surprised as he rarely saw his sister smiling so frequently.
'I sense some sprouting attraction.' Elijah narrowed his eyes as he saw his sister looking at Ryan with a smile.
"Well I might be wrong." Elijah spoke aloud.
"What?" Ryan asked Elijah with confusion.
"Nothing, I was just thinking about something." Elijah said as he put his arms around his sister and Ryan and asked them to go inside.
Ryan shook his head and they went inside the bar which was also a nightclub but Ryan preferred bars more than clubs which are always noisy and orbit was the perfect place for it because they had a special floor just for quiet drinking.
They went inside and saw a receptionist area with a woman standing there with a professional smile on her face.
They went towards the receptionist and asked her in a polite tone "We don't have a reservation but we can pay double for a room."
You needed to make reservations a week early to get a room because it was very popular and Orbit was very strict with its regulations and didn't falter even if the person who came unannounced was a S ranker.
"I'll need to ask the manager about it." The receptionist bowed and asked them to wait for a minute and went to ask the manager about it.
"I like this place, they don't bend their rules for anyone." Ryan was happy that this place was true to its rules and didn't treat any person with more importance than others.
They didn't need to wait long as a man came out running like his life depended on it.
"Sorry for making you wait." The man bowed towards them and said in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine, we came without reservation anyway.", Elijah waved his hand in denial.
"We will give you the room but you'll still have to pay double." The man said in a gentle tone.
"We know that." Elijah took out his card and gave it to the man but he declined it immediately.
"We take the payment when you leave. Here you enjoy first and pay later." The man said with a slight smile.
The man then gave them a key card which had a number 1 on it. He then left after asking the receptionist to escort them to their room.
Orbit had 10 floors and 5 of them were hotel rooms to stay after you get too drunk to walk. Those rooms were really expensive and Orbit used it to generate a wholesome amount of revenue.
The cycle was something like this: you get drunk and then dance and drink more after dancing, last but not the least, pay for a room to spend the night.
Nice right? It is nice if we don't consider the cut-throat price for rooms.
But if you don't get dead drunk you'll be fine.
Anyways, we are getting distracted from the story.
Ryan and the siblings were walking in the corridor of the 10th floor as it was the VIP floor. They didn't want a room on this floor but the manager insisted they choose this room because it had the best service possible in Vegas.
As they were walking down the hallway they saw a group of men and women coming from the opposite direction.
The group had 10 women and 8 men, probably some rich kids spending their parents hard earned money.
Ryan who was walking right behind the receptionist heard someone which made him grin but kept it under wraps.
The group was about to pass Ryan and his group but suddenly a woman slipped and started to fall towards Ryan. He saw this and quickly side stepped and let the woman fall flat on the hard marble floor.
"Josie." A man who was at the back of the group tried to save her from falling but was too far back to even cover half of the distance.
"Ouch." The woman named Josie hurt her leg and couldn't stand and was lifted up by her friends.
Josie coincidentally was about to fall again but this time on Elijah 2ho repeated Ryan's action and side stepped before Josie could even touch a single hair on his body.
"What's wrong with you people?" A woman who had a shit ton of makeup on her face screamed in anger.
"What? Looks like your makeup is clouding your judgments just like your face. Want me to bring a fan to blow some of it away?" Elijah smirked, he didn't know why Ryan didn't stop Josie from falling but if Ryan did it then there might be some reason for it.
"You dare, do you know who my father is?" The woman's ego was smaller than her breasts which were already on a microscopic level.
"Do tell." Ryan asked with a mocking smile on his face.
"You think that being a brute who fights dirty monsters can save you from my father." The woman was really drowning in her ego.
"Can you fight them? If not, then shut your trap up." Ryan started leaving with Elijah and Olivia who chose to not get involved in the worthless argument.
"He's the CEO of Forging Ballad, let me see how you get weapons to fight those monsters now." The girl harrumphed in pride.
"Good, now we know where we are going to finish our night with a bang." Elijah laughed when he realised that Ryan would not let her go this easily now.
Forging Ballad was a newly found company by the only S ranked blacksmith. He was the person who made weapons for other S rankers.
"Hoh…..you are free to do whatever you want." Ryan wanted to leave because if he stayed here more than a few seconds he'll most probably throw this woman out of the window.
While the egotistical woman was arguing with Ryan, Josie was digging her nails in her hands in disappointment. She failed in accomplishing what she wanted.
Ryan and his group left the scene because it was meaningless to stay there any longer.
The receptionist stood outside the room and said in a respectful tone "We'll send someone to take your orders soon."
The receptionist left after that because she didn't want to stay here longer because she knew that woman and her father very well. Their whole family was known to be really cruel and no one could do anything to them because he was the only S ranked blacksmith.
Who wants to enter labyrinths with crappy weapons? It would be like walking in a carbon dioxide filled room but you don't have oxygen masks to breathe. It would be a disaster.
Inside Ryan's room Ryan and the siblings had already settled. The room had a karaoke room, one bathroom for obvious reasons and the main room which had couches put in a square shape, which was enough for 20 people to sit around.
"Olivia, what is your squad doing this evening?" Ryan asked Olivia who was dead silent from the moment they encountered the rich kid group.
"Nothing probably." She said in a plain voice.
"Elijah, call them, this place feels too empty." Ryan asked Elijah to contact the group and ask them to join if they are not busy.
"Already on it." Elijah knew that Ryan would ask the squad to join when he started speaking so he already took out his phone and dialled Vincenzo's number.
Vincenzo was fast to pick up and instantly agreed to join. He even said that he'll bring all of the other squamates at any cost.
'I feel sorry for the healers. I wonder what he'll do to them.' Ryan remembered that Vincenzo had a little disagreement with the two healers.
"How about you tell us why you didn't save that girl from falling?" Olivia finally asked after pondering about the situation for the whole time but still didn't find anything abnormal.
"Have you heard about a class known as Enchanter?" Ryan asked while yawning.
"No." Both of them replied.
"Good, Enchanters are people who can control you by your sexual desire and that girl Josie was one of them." Ryan gave his reason for not letting that woman touch him.
"A new class." Olivia muttered under her breath.
'Good lord, I dodged a bullet.' Elijah thought while sighing in relief.
"You guys might have noticed but I have enhanced hearing and I can hear things from at least 100km all around me. So I heard them talking about controlling me, who is an Ex ranker. She said that she wanted a strong bodyguard and I am perfect for that role." Ryan's voice turned cold as he spoke every word.
"Then why did she try to fall on me?" Elijah asked.
"If she failed to control me then you are the next option which is close to me. She wanted to control both of us." Ryan started laughing when he remembered how Elijah moved out of that woman's falling area.
"She tried really hard huh." Elijah said in a furious tone.
"She'll try again. So be prepared and this time she will return home on a stretcher." Ryan said while they heard a knock on the door.
