Chapter 1 The Night Club

It was 11 o'clock in the Night Club.

Just as the club's name suggested, the atmosphere was hot and heavy. The DJ quickly pumped up some sick beats as a slender and attractive woman appeared on the stage.

She swayed her hips, posing in front of the crowd. They responded with a loud cheer, raising their drinks high in the air. Wearing a veil, the woman bowed to the audience and turned to a dancing pole, rotating her body to the beat.

Her body was as lithe as a snake when she bent around the pole, displaying her clear and luscious skin. Although her face was covered, the audience could see the seductive star beneath the veil. She was enchanting, like a nymph calling for the gods.

From the way she moved, it felt as if she owned the entire stage. All eyes followed the woman as she swayed to the beat. It seemed that the club had just grown hotter and hotter by the minute.

Arvin Xue sat in one of the special guest boxes of the bar. He took a cigarette from the table and placed it in his mouth. Just then, a man approached to light it up for him. "She's quite a skillful dancer, Mr. Xue," the man remarked.

Yet Arvin Xue shrugged, blowing a small cloud of smoke. He tapped the edge of the cigarette. "She's still too young to push it to the next level," he said roughly.

The pole dancing was over. Although the performance was short, the dancer was drenched with her sweat. Her body glistened under the colored lights as she took the microphone from the DJ.

She took off the veil, and everybody held their breath. "Thank you all." Her soft voice echoed throughout the bar. "See you tomorrow night!"

For a minute, the room had gone silent.

Under the veil was a gorgeous woman. Her face was definitely proportionate, with each aspect of her face ready to send any man to his knees. The curves that hugged her body added to the entire glamour. She really was a goddess in disguise.

However, the man next to Arvin Xue stiffened. He slowly craned his neck towards the man. "Mr. Xue... That lady..."

Arvin Xue shot him a cruel glare that rendered him silent.

As he saw who the dancer was, he immediately left the cigarette on the ashtray and stomped out of the VIP box. The man yelled his name behind him, but it was to no avail.

Given his height and his muscled stature, people were afraid to block his path.

Arvin Xue rushed to the first floor without another thought. Soon enough, he pushed his way through the crowd before he finally reached the main stage.

Belinda Qin was still flirting with the audience, shooting them winks and smiles every now and then. However, she froze when she saw Arvin Xue standing right in front of her.

"What are you doing? Hey!"

Before she could respond, Arvin seized her wrist and dragged her out of the stage. Belinda Qin tried resisting, but it was to no avail.

"Oh, God! Let go!"

She was dragged several steps from the platform, struggling. Her arm was already aching as the people stared, wide-eyed, at the spectacle unfolding before them.

"What are you doing, Arvin?" she yelled out. "You're hurting me. Let go!"

Finally, Arvin halted and turned towards her. They were in the middle of the bar now, and all eyes were on them.

She tried to pull her arm only for him to tighten his grip further. Belinda Qin glared up at him.

"Are you insane?"

He stared, before asking, "Who asked you to come here?"

"It's none of your business!"

Just as they were in the middle of a fight, some of the audience couldn't take the mistreatment anymore. Soon enough, a man jumped out from the crowd.

"Hey, man, what the hell's wrong with you? Let the woman go!"

Although the man was not as tall as Arvin, he was just as strong. It was no wonder he'd dare stand against him.

Arvin sneered. "What makes you think you can stop me?"

In a blink of an eye, Arvin already had the man falling to his knees. He gave him another kick right on the stomach.

The man doubled over in pain.

Arvin then turned his gaze to the crowd. "Want to join him?" he snarled.

The crowd immediately stepped back at the threat. Arvin held Belinda Qin's hand as he shouted at the crowd, "Then get the hell out of the way!"

As soon as he finished, the audience quickly parted, granting him a path to move out.

"Hey!" Belinda yelled, struggling against his hold. "Let go! We've already been over this! You have nothing to do with me anymore!"

Soon enough, the couple finally exited the club.

The onlookers gathered around once again, wanting to see what the deal was about. Gossip bounced off the walls as their questions flew out into the ceiling.

"Who are they?"

"What's their relationship?"

"Yeah, they seem to know each other."

The man who was with Arvin a while ago could only stroke his chin. "They're a couple," he spoke.
