And as we were going back to what we were discussing, the bigwig entered the hall, Alice's father David the undercity's governor along with his family. With the main man having shown up, I informed those at our table and waited for this event to begin.
Alice's family went and sat at the center most table closest to the elevated stage and since we were directly next to them, the bunch of us greeted them and made small talk while the governor headed to the stage to get this party started. He first went through an initial bit, welcoming everyone to this annual meeting of the city and then followed that up by going into what the city accomplished this past year.
From there, he transitioned into what was planned for the coming year and what opportunities would be created. Which was the main reason why all the forces gathered for this event, besides the obvious benefits one can obtain from making connections and establishing deals with the other powerful families, groups, and individuals that inhabited this entirely self sufficient futuristic underground city.
The minute he got through that portion, he covered a few other matters before wrapping things up and leaving the stage as applause erupted and filled the space, followed shortly by relaxing music of the classical variety. After he joined his family, a swarm of waiters filed in and began taking orders from the many high-profile people attending tonight's event.
"What can I get for you, sir?"
"The filet mignon looks appetizing, so I'll go with that." I answered.
"How would you like your steak cooked?"
"I'll leave it up to the chef's discretion."
"And you young miss?"
"I'll have-"
...
My order given, the waiter continued going around the table and as soon as he had everyone's orders; he departed in the direction of where he came from initially. Not too many minutes since we ordered, our meals were delivered to our table, ready to be devoured. Thus, that's what we did for the most part, other than chat amongst ourselves.
Forty minutes flew by with me receiving an increasing number of deathly stares filled to the brim with hostile intent from all around the hall, even from Alice's own father of all people the instant he learned the number of my romantic relationships increased from the norm of one. When I defused that situation with the promise of more grandchildren and Bella coming to my aid, the younger attendees started moving to the wide open portion of the space that I learned was for getting the various youngins acquainted with each other.
"Alright, let's head over, join in on the fun."
"Okay, big brother, but I'll be taking the first dance when the time comes." Bella said from my lap cutely much to the jealousy of my two ladies.
"Bella, that's not fair. You're already hogging a space that was meant for us." Alice said, unwilling to let her little sister get away with too much.
"Yeah, Alice is right. You already got away with stealing our spot, so we should have the first dance with Dom." Rei piggybacked on.
"Fine, but which of you is going to go first? You can't exactly dance with him at the same time."
"I will!" Both of my beauties said simultaneously.
Before they could start stirring up a fuss and begin battling it out for who goes first, I stepped in. "Who goes first will be decided by rock, paper, scissors."
With a method established for who will go first, they started the round and fought it out for a total of three rounds, which ended in Alice winning the first dance. Thus, making the order for tonight's dance, Alice, then Rai, followed by Bella.
"We're heading out." I told the adults.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
"Okay, we'll come and join you guys when it's time. Have fun, sweety."
"Stay out of trouble, son."
"I'll try, but no promises that it won't come and seek me out."
As my father let out a sigh, gramps piped up. "Just don't kill anyone, kid, and you'll be good."
"That I can promise." I said lastly as gramps let loose a laugh, looking forward to whatever trouble that I would find myself involved in.
Leaving the adults behind, I had a beauty on each arm and an excited smaller one out in front, leading the way to where many of the younger generation had gathered. Arriving at the floor quickly, we soon found a lot of eyes looking our way due to a combination of my massive build and me having an attractive female on each arm and a cute nine-year-old who had the appearance of a girl just entering her teenage years leading me.
Ignoring their gazes, we four located Rai's brother Takeshi in the distance and, as we were about to head there, the troublemaker I discovered earlier and had been following behind us all this time, sped in front of us and blocked our path.
"Unhand those three girls, you bastard." The six foot arrogant blond, blue-eyed teen commanded.
And here we go as expected. I honestly don't know what goes through the heads of guys like this when they decide to insult and annoy someone far larger and stronger than they are. I suppose it has to do with them being raised in an environment where they're handed everything they desire whenever they want and have never experienced what getting punched in the face feels like.
Entertaining the dumb but arrogant teen, I responded. "Why don't you open your eyes and see if it's me holding them or them holding onto me."
"I can see them holding onto you, but you must be forcing them to."
"Uh, no where doing this because we want to." Rei commented, amazed at how low this guy's intelligence was.
"Nn, we are, and who are you to stop us?" Alice added, clearly unhappy that someone had decided to bother us.
"That's what someone who was being forced would say."
"Ohh, is that so and how would I be able to force the governor's firstborn to do anything she doesn't wish to do, hmm?" I said, throwing the guy for a loop.
"It doesn't matter what their status is, unhand them now!" The guy said, still not stopping in his poor attempt at obtaining what was not his.
As this stupid animal was gathering increasingly more attention with the commotion he was creating, from both those gathered here, including the older generation who were still seated at their tables for the most part. My patience was beginning to wear thin as well as the girls, thus I decided to end this farce here. "Either move out of the way or I'll make you and crush you like the bug you are."
"You better do as my friend says, or you'll be regretting your actions in a second." My squamate Takeshi recommended.
"Pipe down dog I wasn't talking to you." The fool said, pissing off both brother and sister.
Before this retard could run his mouth any further, I utilized a portion of my bloody aura filled with killing intent and spread it throughout the hall with most of it focused on this moron. This caused the bystanders who were enjoying the show up to now to look on fearfully and the idiot to shut up and look about ready to piss himself in fear because of gaining to the privilege to experience the full brunt of my aura that has been grown through the harvesting of many thousands of human mole hybrid lives.
Having my girls let go for a second, I moved the angry Bella out of the way, lowered my strength so I wouldn't crush his skull and kill him on the spot, and threw a punch directly at his face. The very second my fist impacted his nose, it folded and was crushed under my fist along with several surrounding facial bones, making a clearly audible sound of bones being smashed that made the surrounding bystander flinch.
As the fool was knocked out and beginning to fall back, I grabbed him before he could fall and crack the back of his head on the marble flooring. Effortlessly lifting this lightweight by my standards up with my left hand, I walked with dumbass in hand back in the direction of his family's table, passing mine and Alice's on the way. Which had my gramps laughing and enjoying the show and Alice's dad looking on, amused with the situation.
Upon reaching his family's table, I dropped him into a seat and warned. "Keep your stupid son under control, otherwise it'll come back and bite the rest of you in the ass."
Ignoring the pissed off mother and father of the brainlet, I began walking back to my companions but noting that I made another enemy that I should begin investigating and keeping an eye on in case they get the bright idea to cause trouble for me and those associated with myself.
It wouldn't be the first time it occurred and in the event they don't heed my warning, I'll just take preventive actions and remove them from the root to ensure they're unable to cause any harm in the future. Since there's no point in letting a hostile power germinate and become stronger. I can also benefit from their disposal in the way of wealth too, so I'm fine with whatever route they decide to pick.
Returning to my group, the event continued on as normal, minus the glares from the younger guys, because they were too scared of being next on the chopping block. Soon thereafter, the adults joined us and not too many minutes later, the music changed, beginning the dancing portion of this event that all three girls were looking forward to the most.
Offering my hand to my partner, Alice took my hand, and I brought us to a space with plenty of space for us to dance while both her and my mom were acting like professional photographers in the background.
