Another Stupid Isekai

We hit the club. You could hear the music immediately after passing the door, although it was muffled a bit. The classical party EDM stuff. There was a short line there, but we just ignored it. The first change I noticed inside, was that Alice wasn\'t behind the counter, and even the blue-pink duo was missing. Instead, there were few Indian guys for security in front of the door leading to the main hall, and a woman, probably from Dwarka, taking care of the banned belongings.

She immediately went to focus on us, ignoring the hunters who were standing in line. The guests benefited from our status in the city and were able to get in without much trouble.

They were looking around, and whispering among themselves. Very curious about the whole place. The fact that we were able to bypass the line didn\'t surprise them, since Will was famously a crucial persona in Arc. I doubted they knew much about me unless he told them.

After we were done there, they allowed us to enter the main hall. The music immediately got louder. There was a DJ blasting it on the stage and a bunch of people on the dance floor. A lot of xuzards among them.

Streamers reacted to the aliens, trying to talk to each other, and pointing the creatures going crazy among the dancers.

Wolf took one person aside and told them something. After that, the three of us went upstairs, while the internet celebrities were left downstairs.

There was club personnel up there, and Will talked with them to obtain a key to the VIP room, where we immediately went. After getting inside and closing the door it became a little bit quieter.

I hit the couch, while the other two hit the minibar, and poured themselves some drinks.

- Let\'s talk then guys - I said to them, as they joined me.

Wolf first took a few sips from his glass, then said:

- As I said before. New gate in China. The unrest in government is rising since the US doesn\'t have one. They are trying to make some kind of deal with Hungary and also with India as we speak, but we both know that it won\'t work here if you guys won\'t agree.

- Exactly - said Will. - What kind of deal are we speaking about.

He shrugged his shoulders.

- I have no idea, but I will probably get instructions soon, so I will be able to tell you more. Right now I have nothing, but I have to tell you, something is coming. There is no problem with taking weapons through the other gates, so the other cities will be heavier exploited than this place. The unrest is growing. Both India and the US know what you guys can do, and they are afraid of what other countries can achieve in just a few months of heavy exploitation. The changes are coming.

- To be honest, I feel that too - said Will. - Things are changing, but I believe we can work something out.

Who knows? - Wolf shrugged his shoulders again. - I can tell you that some people are really, really upset that they can\'t control this place.

- They might get as upset as they want. They will never control this place - I said to him. - And if you think that the other people in other cities will also roll over, and let whatever government do what they please in their world, then you are deadly wrong. Look at your own intel from Russia. The troops send through the portal got massacred, didn\'t they?

- Yeah... At least that\'s the intel we\'ve got. Reality might be different.

- How about we pull out our dicks and check who has the bigger one? - proposed Wil.

- What the fuck? Did you get drunk with those few sips? - I asked him raising my eyebrows.

- It was a metaphor. All we need to do is check who behind all those gates is the strongest. That\'s all. Let\'s do a tournament or something.

- And what if it\'s not you guys? - asked Wolf. - What then? What if it\'s the guy in the gate that opened in Russia? He supposedly took a whole freaking brigade. I saw what Peter can do, but I\'m not sure if that person isn\'t stronger than him.

- He is not - said Will, and looked at me.

He was confident. I could see it in his eyes.

Wolf rose his hands while holding his glass.

- I won\'t argue, because I don\'t know, but to tell you both the truth, I\'m scared. I\'m scared because I saw what Peter can do, and if that person is stronger, then he is a freaking monster. It would be nice to at least know what we are dealing with.

- The tournament. We will find out - said Will.

- I\'m not sure if it\'s a good idea... - I said.

- Why not? I\'ve noticed that you started hiding what you cand o, Peter. Sorry man, but you can\'t keep doing that. You are the strongest motherfucker around here, and people will find that out sooner or later. It\'s going to happen whether you want this or not. I know you don\'t like the publicity and the freaking reporters all over you, but it is what it is - argued Will.

- I agree - said Wolf. - I heard the stories of the beginning of this place and how bloody and violent it was. I know it might seem that when you guys got back to civilization it changed, but it didn\'t. We humans always want blood. You might not see it hidden by media, and governments around the world, but the world is a bloody and nasty place. It\'s the same thing out there that it was here. The biggest and scariest guy makes the rules. Whether it\'s a big guy with a freaking sword or an older man in a suit, that can send nuclear missiles with one call.

I sighed.

- Fine. Let\'s do it...

After that, I just walked out of the room, and shadow walked back home, to spend some time with Sudarshana, pretending as nothing happened throughout the whole day.

The long and tiring day came to an end with 24 360 160 points remaining on my account, and 21 class points.
