The two arrived a famous luxury club called Velvet Rose. They parked their car in the spacious parking area just in front of the club and got out. Alisa stared in awe at the sight of a bar painted with mostly red and purple. This was the first time she had ever stepped foot into a club to have fun instead of killing people. Although she assumed many identities during her past life in order to assassinate high-ranking corrupted officials and powerful people, including disguising herself and slipping into high-end bars, it was only for the purpose of accomplishing her mission.
Now that she saw the colorful lights of the dance floor once again and the faces of the people that were enjoying the night life, she felt something welling from within her heart. She thought how it would feel like to dance without anything restricting or weighing down on her, or how it would feel like to get wasted from drinking. Tonight she would be able to find out.
Sylvia dragged her towards the counter and ordered two glasses of midnight bloom— which was a smooth blend of lavender syrup, gin, and tonic water, giving off a mysterious floral fragrance. Alisa wasn't sure she would drink it as she never had drank wine before, but Sylvia kept on nudging her to drink it.
"Come on, Lissy. Drink it up. We're here to relax and celebrate, okay?" Sylvia was trying to convince her while having a smile on her face.
"L-Lissy?! Why are you—"
"I've decided to call you that since it's cute and it suits you. Now, drink up."
Alisa had no room for argument when it came to her so she closed her eyes and drank the wine in large gulps until she finished the whole glass. She coughed violently when she suddenly choked a little bit from the strong wine. The alcohol invaded her brain and the surroundings started to spin a little. She had found a new side of herself. Alisa had a low tolerance on alcohol!
"What's wrong with you, Lissy? That's only one glass." Sylvia asked with a chuckle.
"I think I'm getting drunk." She tried shaking her head to dispel her hazy mind.
"No way! Just sip on it slowly so you won't get knocked down easily."
Alisa let her inner energy course through her blood vessels to expel the toxins and harmful effects produced by the alcohol but it could only alleviate her condition a little bit. She was still intoxicated but her mind as at least a little bit clear. Upon remembering that she was in a different timeline of Eidelweiss where it was peaceful here and there were no enemies hunting here, she slowly let down her guard and allowed herself to enjoy the night.
The two kept on drinking and watched the people dancing on the dance floor. Unbeknownst to them, the people following Alisa earlier was watching them from a corner. A shady person wearing black clothes took out his phone and dialed a number. It took a while before the call connected and the sound of a female moaning from the other side echoed on the speaker. The man frowned in disgust but still spoke.
"What's your order, boss?"
"Do everything you can to inject that drug to her then bring her to my room." The voice spoke coldly from the other side. He sounded a little irritated after being distracted from his activity.
'Damn rich people.' He clenched his teeth as he put down the phone back to his pockets.
He was sorry for the young lady, but he had to do it. According to his client, the target was a martial arts expert. Only another expert could contend with a monster like her. He was a little bit reluctant due to his own principles to never harm women but fate was unkind to him. In order to a large sum of money to live a good life, he had to do this kind of thing. His hands were long stained from the sins of crimes he did. There was no turning back.
"Forgive me, little girl." He softly muttered where his voice was lost in the loud beat of the music.
Just in time, Alisa felt like she had drank a lot. She excused herself and went to the bathroom. The man followed her from a distance to avoid getting notice. She was struggling to walk straight and it seemed that she was lost too. There were no people around in the back halls of the luxurious club so the man found his chance. He pretended to walk past her. Once he was behind her, he took out the syringe Steve had given him and stabbed it at Alisa's leg.
Alisa yelped in pain and angrily turned around to see something entering her body through the syringe. She hurriedly gave a kick towards the man but her force was suppressed due to the lingering effects of the alcohol, allowing the man to evade and back off a few steps. What's worse was the unknown drug injected to her made her feel like her body was lit on fire.
"What did you do to me?" Alisa's eyes glistened with intense murderous aura that suffocated the guy. He was shocked and horrified. How did Steve offend such a beast? If he didn't get out here quickly, he would definitely die a painful death.
"Answer me!" She rushed forward and threw a powerful punch infused with inner energy. The man's eyes widened in shock. Fortunately, Alisa was a little distracted and slower due to the effects of the alcohol and the drug he injected which made her miss a few centimeters away from her head. Despite that, the place where the punch had landed was obliterated into pieces of broken concrete.
"Such a powerful force!" He gasped.
Alisa was about to deliver another destructive punch but the man was faster. He went behind her and slammed a hard chop towards her nape. She had regretted the fact that she let her guard down. What was going to happen to her? She slowly staggered until she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
The man sighed in relief and took out his phone once again. "Boss, it's done."
"Good. Send her in now."
The man picked Alisa up and carried her towards a room. Little did he know that Alisa was only pretending to be unconscious. Suddenly, she woke up and immediately grabbed the man's neck.
"What are you—"
The man wasn't even able to finish his sentence since Alisa had already twisted his neck violently, breaking his spinal cord in just a split second. His eyes went white and his whole body limped with his head facing the wrong direction as he fell to the ground.
Alisa got up but she felt weird. "What the hell is wrong with me? I feel so hot and burning."
It was like there were several ants crawling and gnawing on her body with every single second that passed. She felt something bubbling she had never felt before. Her large beads of sweat slowly trickled down all over her body.
"I have to do something..." She softly muttered as she tried to walk with her hand touching the walls for support. "Sylvia, where are you?"
She kept on calling for her but there was no one else there. She had lost her way back towards the club. Her situation had become worse and the strange desire she had right now was slowly eating her up. Her body felt like exploding from the intense heat.
"D-Damn it... I'm burning like crazy..." She panted crazily while struggling to contain her raging emotions.
Upon finding the first door she had seen, she quickly knocked on it. She thought there was no one inside but she repeatedly kept on banging the door until it flung open. What greeted her was the face of a man that had such an icy face. It was clear that he was annoyed by her sudden disturbance.
It was quite dark in the corridors so he could not clearly see her face. Alisa couldn't hold back anymore and suddenly pounced on the man. She had so much strength that the man couldn't push her away.
"What are you doing?" His already icy expression had become more frosty.
"Shut up!" Alisa scowled angrily and silenced him with a kiss. So this was how it meant to lust over someone. She had become the very person she had loathed. She knew she would regret this, but she had no other choice. Tears fell from her eyes as she violently tore off the man's shirt.
Finally, the beams of the moonlight that came from the window illuminated her face slightly. The man thought that sharp voice that was like a dagger slicing off his skin sounded very familiar. His guess was proven and recognized that adorable face that had an ethereal beauty together with her light purple hair like a lotus flower.
"Alisa?" The man called her name surprisingly.
She lost all the reasoning as her body felt like it was set in flames. She ignored him and undressed herself while starting her once-in-a-lifetime crime. Soon enough, the room was filled with pleasant screams and moans as they performed the deed despite the man's reluctance at first. Once her desires were deeply satiated after a few more rounds of making love— or if it could even be called making love, her feverish urges that gnawed on her body disappeared. Alisa collapsed exhaustingly on the bed while wrapped in the man's embrace and fell asleep.
