THE WEREWOLF MAFIA HUNT
14. Ethan Enters the VIP Room of Twilight Elegance

"Luke, can you be a little polite. I brought Ethan here and Ethan didn't bring me." Bella is uncomfortable with Luke's offending Ethan.

"Sorry I'm bothering you. It's okay I'm here alone. Miss Bella can go to the VIP room with you guys without me. We can meet back here later." Ethan tries to avoid this conflict.

"No, I want to stay here. The three of you can enter the VIP room without me. It's okay I'm alone with Ethan here." Bella held her stance. It's rude of him to leave Ethan alone.

Luke, who likes Bella, becomes very annoyed with Bella's hard-hearted attitude but she can't do anything about it. Leaving Bella alone with Ethan will further distance herself from Bella. Luke can only continue to be patient for now. The atmosphere slightly returned to liquid after they resumed drinking.

Ethan, increasingly convinced that Bella is a good person, remains wary of the surrounding situation. Although the situation was now more restrained, he would not let his guard down. He knew that it was an important night to get the information he needed.

A few hours passed, and the atmosphere grew more and more lively. They laugh, talk, and enjoy the night at this club. However, Ethan keeps a close eye on the surroundings, looking for signs of Vincent or other members of the mafia. But until now, he had not found any clues.

"I have to go to the toilet for a while. I'll be back in a minute, okay?"

Ethan says to Miss Bella, and Miss Bella nods. Ethan's looking for a reason to leave for a while. As Ethan leaves, he feels increasingly suspicious. Something is not right with this club. He decided to take the initiative and find out more about the club and its VIP members.

He approached one of the club employees who was walking around and asked, "Sorry, I just came here for the first time. Can you tell me more about this club, specifically about VIP members and how they usually hang out?"

The employee raised his eyebrows and said, "VIP members are our special guests. They are loyal customers who get access to exclusive amenities like VIP rooms upstairs. They're usually very careful who they get into, because privacy is important to them."

Ethan returns to the table where Bella and her friends are sitting, but he feels shocked when he sees someone new appearing. Luke introduces the man as his cousin's brother and the owner of the nightclub. The club tonight is called "Twilight Elegance."

Luke's burly cousin was known as Victor "Vic" Blackthorn. He had two ruthless-faced bodyguards who had always been loyal to his side. The three of them had powerful and domineering auras, and Ethan felt a faint werewolf scent in the air.

Bella and her friends immediately saluted Victor with respect, showing them respect for him. Victor smiled kindly, but still exuded an aura of authority. Without being domineering, Victor still looks very powerful in his own area of power. His aura was so powerful it suppressed those around him.

"Thank you for coming to Twilight Elegance, Bella, Luke, and friends. I hope you all enjoy tonight" Victor said in a calm voice.

Bella answered kindly, "We are very happy to be here, Victor. Your club is always fun."

Ethan tries to keep his composure, but he feels tense with the presence of Victor and his bodyguards. He knew that he had to be careful in this situation and not attract unnecessary attention.

Victor, watching Ethan closely, asked Bella, "Who is this friend of yours, Bella?"

Bella answered kindly, "This is Ethan, Victor. We met outside the club, and he's been a great help tonight."

Ethan feels a little more relieved after the conversation with Victor, but he remains cautious. Ethan smells a werewolf faintly from Victor and his two bodyguards. Among the three of them was most likely a werewolf. This is enough to make Ethan wonder in his heart. As far as Ethan is concerned, no werewolf has a legal business because that would make it easy to get caught.

"Why don't we just move to the VIP room? There we are more comfortable. Our privacy is more secure."

Victor invites them to enter the VIP room, inviting Bella and her friends to enjoy the club's exclusive facilities. Bella initially refuses gently, the main reason being that she does not want to leave Ethan without a VIP member card. However, Victor shows his kindness by using his authority as the club owner to allow Ethan into the VIP room with them.

Bella has no other reason to turn down Victor's offer, and Ethan feels somewhat objected to it because he still feels that it might be a trap. However, she also did not want to draw any negative attention to herself or Bella. They finally decide to accept Victor's offer and enter the VIP room together.

This VIP room is more exclusive and comfortable than the main part of the club. There are soft sofas, dim lights that create a mysterious atmosphere, and beautiful views from the top floor looking down to the main club floor. The people in this VIP room look more exclusive, and they are VIP members of the club.

"Here's my drink of order for all of us to come. This time let me as the host treat you all." Victor has ordered a special drink that is served in style without Ethan knowing before. Victor stood up for a while while the waitress came to open the door of the VIP room they were in.

"Thank you, Brother Victor." Luke seemed very proud of the banquet given by his older cousin. He was the one who had asked Victor to come to him so that he could look for face in front of Bella.

"Wow, this is the club's signature drink Mirage that not just anyone can order." Daniel squinted his eyes at Luke.

"Today I got a chance to taste the legendary Twilight Elegance club's signature drink." Shopia took the phone from inside her bag. He photographed several drinks on their table.

"Mirage is made from a blend of Red Wine from selected grapes taken from our own orchards from Southeast Asia, a bit of imported Vodka and fruit juice. Our material stock is very limited so only our honored guests are offered. You will often get this drink if you come here with Luke. Luke's parents also own a stake in the club, so he's also entitled to the best service from my club."

Victor slightly raised his head as he spoke. He also patted Luke on the shoulder several times to encourage his cousin.

"Well, that's really cool, Lukas. It is a great pleasure that Bella will be close to Luke and will be able to take part in this honor. Bella why don't you quickly announce that you and Luke are dating? Daniel and I are very supportive of the progress of your relationship."

Shopia smiled as she held Bella's arm. Shopia desperately wants Bella to date Lukas since long ago because Lukas comes from a family famous for the business that dominates in this city. Shopia can leverage Bella's relationship with Luke for personal gain.

Bella's face turned red due to discomfort. Bella clearly knows that Luke is approaching her but Bella has not opened up to Luke because she cannot lie to herself. There is an instinct in his heart that states that Luke is not a good man for him. Every dinner date is subtly rejected by Bella.

Meanwhile, Ethan, who is new to the group, begins to understand the hidden intentions of Luke and Victor. Ethan, however, chooses to keep quiet following the game to investigate the possible existence of a werewolf network within the club.

Bella is pleased with the service they receive and does not seem to have any excessive concerns. He felt that tonight would go well. Despite the unpleasant feelings that bothered her from the start, Bella chose to enjoy the night with her friends and Ethan.
