Chapter 28 - Money Talk

The music thumped, and another friend, Lisa, joined in. "Well, your kingdom awaits, Your Majesty. What's the plan for the night?"

Jansen's eyes scanned the dance floor. "Dancing, drinks, and whatever the night brings."

Amidst the vibrant atmosphere of the bar, Jansen was an embodiment of affluence and extravagance. The clinking of glasses and laughter formed a cacophony around him as he luxuriated in his realm of opulence.

The antique wines he ordered spoke of his discerning taste and boundless wealth, while the shimmering Rolex watches symbolized his mastery of time itself.

His attire, tailored to perfection, was a testament to his high standing in society. The designer labels that adorned his body whispered tales of exclusive boutiques and unlimited credit limits.

The luxurious fabrics draped his form elegantly, drawing admiration from those who dared to glance in his direction.

The jewels that adorned his hands and neck, each a carefully chosen statement of extravagance, captured the bar's ambient light and transformed it into a radiant display of his status.

As he reclined on the open table, one could hardly ignore the mesmerizing aura of riches that surrounded him, all while he reveled in the ostentatious spectacle.

As Jansen basked in the opulence of the bar, a few curious onlookers couldn't help but admire his lavish display.

A fellow bar patron, raising an eyebrow in admiration, leaned in and said, "Now that's living the high life, isn't it?"

Jansen, with a self-satisfied smile, replied, "Indeed it is. Life's too short to hold back, don't you think?"

Another person, drawn in by the glittering jewels, inquired, "Those diamonds are something else! Where did you get them?"

Jansen chuckled and held up his hand, allowing the gems to catch the light. "These? They're one of a kind. You know what they say, if you've got it, flaunt it."

The surrounding chatter and the pulsating beat of the music added to the surreal ambiance of the bar, where Jansen's indulgence seemed like a scene from a movie, a momentary escape from reality.

What prompted a man of Jansen's wealth to visit a bar in the outskirts of town so soon after being discharged from the hospital?

It was a question that hung in the air, intriguing those who observed the opulence of his presence.

Jansen seemed irritated, his thoughts seemingly consumed by the echoes of Emilia's derisive comments from days ago.

As he sat amidst the glimmering lights and the rhythmic pulse of the music, he couldn't help but voice his frustration, "No woman willing to accompany me? Don't kid yourself. No one can resist the allure of wealth."

His words carried a tone of bitterness, hinting at a deeper layer of emotions that stirred beneath the surface of his extravagant appearance.

In the aftermath of his heated clash with Emilia, Jansen found himself seething with anger and a bruised ego. Her hurtful words had cut deeply, and he was determined to prove her wrong. As he sat in the bar, nursing his wounded pride, he reflected on her harsh accusations.

"She had the audacity to claim that I'm no longer a man because I've lost my manhood? Absurd! She's nothing but a vile woman! I'll show her just how wrong she is."

She had questioned his masculinity, suggesting that he was no longer a real man. This was an affront to his identity, a direct attack on his pride. In his mind, there was only one way to counteract this insult – by seeking validation in the company of other women.

Jansen's plan was clear: he intended to woo, or at least engage with, at least five women that very night.

He believed that this audacious display of virility would not only silence Emilia but also serve as a defiant declaration of his masculinity.

Amidst the loud music, flashing lights, and lively atmosphere of the bar, Jansen was determined to find the companionship he believed would reaffirm his sense of self.

It was a quest born out of a mixture of anger, insecurity, and an unyielding desire to prove his worth.

"Money talks," Jansen confidently muttered to himself as he reveled in the attention from three attractive women who had approached him.

On this night, his opulent display seemed to have worked like a charm. He didn't need to make any effort to court or approach women; they were flocking to him willingly!

His belief in the power of wealth and extravagance was being reinforced by the very situation unfolding before his eyes.

As they continued to walk, Jansen, emboldened by the situation, began to flirt with the women.

"You know, I must say you ladies have exquisite taste, and I'm not just talking about fashion," he said with a sly grin, glancing at their elegant attire.

One of the women, her eyes playfully meeting his, replied, "Oh, we certainly do. But do you have exquisite taste too, Mr. Jansen?"

Jansen chuckled, "I'd like to think so. For instance, I have a taste for adventure. How about we embark on one together tonight?"

The other woman, leaning in closer, added, "Adventure sounds exciting. What kind of adventure are you suggesting?"

Jansen, enjoying the playful banter, continued, "Well, the night is young, and we have this city at our disposal. Let's create a story worth telling."

In the dimly lit, exclusive area of the bar, they made their way to a secluded corner. Jansen's uncertain gait was noticeable, and he couldn't help but wonder why the women were exchanging glances and stifling giggles.

As they reached a more private spot, one of the women finally addressed the issue. "You seem to be having trouble walking," she pointed out with a playful smile.

Her companions joined in, and two of them offered their support. It was clear that Jansen's attempt to impress these women with his wealth was hindered by his inebriation.

As they entered the VVIP room, the four women began to lavish their attention on Jansen. Their desire for him was palpable, and their actions left nothing to the imagination.
