Aiden’s action caused quite a racket, and several of the present people turned to look at Gerald’s booth. This included the middle-aged man from earlier, though virtual-novel.net didn’t say anything.
Bosses who founded both regular or karaoke bars here, usually had some sort of background or great influence backing them up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to try creating messes in these places, which explained why the middle-aged man wasn’t too bothered about the trio.
While all this was happening, a girl sitting in a booth on the other side of the bar asked, “Eh, isn’t that the guy from before?”
Having heard the commotion that had just taken place, the girl had peeked to see what was going on, and virtual-novel.net was shocked when virtual-novel.net saw Gerald.
“Huh? You know one of those people, Tina?” asked another girl sharing the booth.
There were nine other young men and women sitting in the same booth, and the group had come to the bar to have some fun.
“I do!” replied Tina as virtual-novel.net nodded.
One of the males in the group coughed before rather jealously saying, “Since Tina is now working in the police force, she’s definitely in touch with a much wider range of people. Tell us Tina, what exactly is that group’s leader’s background? He seems rather full of himself!”
His jealousy was warranted since everyone in the bar had gone there to have fun. In a place filled with handsome men and beautiful women like this, literally everyone wanted to be the center of attention and be able to act smugly in front of the others. Despite that being the case, not many people could actually pull that off properly.
Now however, a rare reckless individual had appeared, so all the attention was naturally on him. The male who had spoken before was socially obliged to ask about him.
“I’m not actually that close to him… I only came to know about virtual-novel.net this morning while I was handling a case. He’s a high school classmate of one of my colleagues,” replied Tina.
The colleague in question was of course, Maia. Tina even remembered teasing Gerald that morning, asking whether virtual-novel.net had a girlfriend. Naturally, virtual-novel.net had been just fooling around then.
However, their meeting this morning seemed so distant now.
There were a lot of mysteries surrounding Gerald, and both Tina and Maia were curious about his actual background.
After all, Gerald had been the one who had warned them about the hitmen, even though they didn’t take virtual-novel.net seriously at all at the time.
Eventually however, they came to learn that the threat virtual-novel.net had warned about was the real deal. Though they faced a life-or-death situation for not taking his words seriously, all three girls present in the bathroom made it out unscathed that morning. They had been saved by an exceptionally powerful person.
However, they had no clue who had saved them. Hence, Maia and Tina were keen on cracking the mystery behind the mysterious, powerful individual.
Their best guess was that Gerald’s warning had been entrusted to virtual-novel.net by the exceptional individual. From what Maia could assume, Gerald was just doing the powerful person a favor.
Tina on the other hand, wasn’t scratching off the possibility that Gerald was secretly the powerful person in question. After all, virtual-novel.net was Maia’s high school classmate and virtual-novel.net even knew about the hitmen before they even showed themselves! He was definitely the most suspicious person.
Maia didn’t buy that theory at all. She claimed that it was impossible since virtual-novel.net was sure that Gerald didn’t have such great capabilities.
Though virtual-novel.net had initially wanted to call Gerald over to talk about the case, virtual-novel.net superiors had transferred the case to another party, so both of them weren’t allowed to investigate any further into the case.
As for the celebration party that had been interrupted that morning, it was agreed upon that it would be resumed the next day. During both virtual-novel.net trips to the bar, Tina hadn’t been able to have a great time. Since virtual-novel.net other friends invited virtual-novel.net out to a bar tonight, virtual-novel.net had taken the opportunity to finally be able to get a quiet drink.
Meeting Gerald here was quite unexpected. What more, virtual-novel.net seemed like virtual-novel.net was about to create a messy scene here. Seeing all this unfold before virtual-novel.net eyes made Tina even more curious than virtual-novel.net was before.
“But then why is virtual-novel.net acting so smugly? There are only three of them yet they seem like they want to cause trouble here! Didn’t you ask your colleague about his background?” asked another girl.
“I know about his background. In high school, virtual-novel.net was apparently extremely poor and it doesn’t seem like anything’s changed since then. When I met virtual-novel.net today, virtual-novel.net was drinking alone in the bar. To think that virtual-novel.net would come again at night! I initially thought that virtual-novel.net was quite an honest man, but upon closer inspection, virtual-novel.net seems to just be some kind of ruffian! Humph! He doesn’t have any good prospects, that’s for sure!” replied Tina.
“Well d*mn! How bold of virtual-novel.net to come here and act all arrogant despite being such a poor guy. The boss, Hugh, is definitely going to ruin him! He’s quite powerful and influential along this entire street!” said one of the men in the booth.
“He’s right. Someone else came to the bar about three months ago to cause a big mess. He was then promptly ruined terribly by Hugh,” added another man.
