Chapter 171: Perfect Poison

    Back downstairs, Ke went to find the two women who were sniffing after her meat. It did not take her long to find them as they were sat at the bar surrounded by some of the local horn dogs.


    As Ke approached and entered behind the bar, the acoustics of the room prevented the noise of the music from being as loud so she yelled yfully, so the horn dogs could easily hear her. "Larry, Barry and Garry, you three gopoke your totem poles somewhere else, these pretty things are with me."


    Normally hoodlums like the three in front of her would cause trouble for someone of her stature, but considering how Ke is widely regarded as such a nice person, who is also rumoured to be able to kick you ass if you tried, the three simply backed off with a smile while the leader said. "Oh sorry Ke, we did not know.


    Come onds, plenty more meat out there tonight." Barry said to Larry and Garry and they took off into the crowd of clubgoers.


    "Sorry about those three cuties, they don''t mean bad, they are just dumb as shit and can''t take a hint." Ke said to the two women. "Thank you, but we could have handled them if they crossed a line." Rhea said with a tone indicating her noble stature.


    "I sure you coulddy, now Apollo said he will be down in a few minutes he''s just getting dressed. Now Apollo and I are like this." Ke said as she crossed her fingers. "So why not introduce yourselves properly to your new bestie here."


    Rhea and Willow looked at each other a moment before looking back at the small woman. "Very well, I am Rhea Hyllus of the Ecumenopolis 1 Hyllus''. I believe you already know my mother Kathrine Hyllus as she has worked both with Apollo and thedy of this establishment if I am to be believed." Rhea introduced herself in her fake noble ent that caused Ke to blink at her weirdly.


    "Ok Rhea, I am going to give you some friendly advice. You are in a club in the southern hemisphere, you don''t need to talk like that. Just a simple ''RheaHyllus, you know my mother Kathrine'' would suffice ok? And what about you cutie?" Ke then turned to the pink haired woman, ignoring Rheas surprised face.


    Willow looked at the girl in front of her and received good vibes alongside a pure heart with no regrets. She then realised a small part of what made up her aura was working and deactivated it, afraid to be caught again for doing it identally.


    She then blushed as she introduced herself. "HI, my name Is Willow Koeda, a pleasure to meet you, I am sorry I did not catch your name?" Ke smiled. ''Is this woman hitting on me? Why is she blushing like that? Sorry sister, I am a one man only psychopath'' "A pleasure to meet you as well, I am Ke forementioned friend of Apollo.


    Now Apollo said to give you two a drink on the house so what will it be?" Ke asks as she handed them the drinks menu.


    As Ke handed the menu to Rhea, Rhea did not look at the names of any drink except the most expensive ones. "We will have two ''Perfect Poisons'' please." She then said handing back the menu.


    Ke smiled at this request. "Of course, two ''Perfect Poisons'' for the cuties at my bar." She said with a wink. When usually making this drink, a certain secretion of Sophia''s is ced inside. However, Since Rhea is a Hyllus and her mother is on the do not poison list, she determined the same applied to Rhea herself.


    The pink haired girl however. "So Willow, do you have a simr background to Rhea here?" Ke asked while she began mixing the drink, seemingly creating small talk. "Oh no, I just work with Rhea and we became close friends, my is long gone and was taken by the Drakoshi." Willow said with a tinge of sorrow in her voice.


    "Oh I am sorry to hear that." Ke said as she took the drinks off the bar to add the ''secret ingredient.'' She faked pouring a drop out of a small vial into Rhea''s ss and poured a drop of the yellow liquid into Willows before serving them on a napkin.


    "Here you are beauties, One ''Perfect Poison.'' Its so good you will be screaming for the antidote, which is another of the same drink." Ke said with a wink to thedies.


    The drink was an emerald green in colour and served in a cocktail ss. The drink was a mixture of gin, a special herbal bitter, a dash of mint liqueurand a lime garnish with some crushed ice, alongside the clubs secret ingredient in Willows case.


    The two girls did not drink it right away as they proceeded to take out theirmunicators and take some pictures of the drink to send to their friends. Ke rolled her eyes at this, but it was amon urrence.


    A few minutester, the two women ced theirmunicators away and picked up their drinks. They tapped the sses carefully together and proceeded to take a sip. After Rhea had her sip, she moved the ss away from her lips to admire the drip. "This is delicious Ke. Willow what do you think, huh?"


    As Rhea looked over to her friend, Willow had downed the entire thing and was now patting the bottom of the ss to get thest droplets out. "Hey sweetie calm down." Rhea said to her friend.


    The words seem to pull Willow from her state and she spoke loudly while grabbing her friends arm. "Wow that was amazing! That was the best drink I have ever had!" Willow then turned to Ke. "Ke, could I please have another?"


    ''And she is hooked. By outer family''s grace do I love this part.'' "I am sorry cutie, but no. You see we put a special ingredient in that drink that makes it only taste that good for one drink, trust me and have a sip of Rhea''s drink here."


    Willow looked at Rhea pleadingly and Rhea then nodded her head and pointed at her drink, telling her friend to ''have at it.''


    As Willow picked up the ss and took a sip, she was genuinely surprised, and rather sad, that although the drink still tasted good, it was nowhere near the same level. "Haha, yes cutie I have seen that look many times and for that reason we only serve that drink one per customer per night. To keep that amazing experience."


    As Ke saw Willows face drop, she knew the woman was a prime candidate for grooming. "I tell you what Willow, If youe back tomorrow, I will personally see to it that you get another one of these drinks on the house again, what do you say?"


    Willow was about to respond, but a man appeared behind the bar and ced a hand on Ke''s shoulder. "Hey you two, long time no see what''s it been? 18-20 hours? I hope my little life of the party was giving you no trouble?"


    Upon making myself present and I was wearing a nice suit ,that I eventually asked Onyx to help me choose, Rhea put down her drink and proceeded to y with her hair as she said. "Hey Apollo, I love your club, its so much nicer than I thought it would be." "Thanks, though If I am being honest, its only mine by inheritance, It actually belongs to my arranged fiancée Sophia."


    Rhea was surprised to hear this due to what she had seenst night. Apollo only mentioned this morning that his ''family'' owned the establishment, not his bride to be. ''Interesting, I could use this information as leverage to get something out of him.'' Rhea unconsciously licked her lips. "Is that so? Either way it is very nice."


    Turning my attention to Willow, I found her staring at me again. "Willow, Ithought we got past the whole staring thing yesterday?" I asked, causing her to flinch. "Oh sorry, I got lost in thought. Where did you get that suit? You look very dashing in it."


    Thepliment took me of guard as it seemed so sincere. It caused me to smile as I said. "Asking the wrong person, I get my clothes bought for me due to myck of taste." I said honestly. "Rhapso''s. He gets his clothes from Rhapso''s. Its a private tailors in the prime city up north." Ke interjected for me.


    Rhea eyebrows raised upon hearing that. "Really now? I heard about that ce. Nathanos tried to get a suit from there earlier today and got told to buzz off by the owner. gosh, I wish I was there to see that." She muttered at the end.


    "Speaking of clothes." I started. "Are those dresses you are wearing now purchased today during your shopping spree you mentioned this morning?"


    I had once again made the mistake of bringing up shopping to a women, as even though she told me everything she was doing today, this morning. She proceeded to tell me all over again, this time with details and extra gossip from the long day...
