Chapter 253 Trouble Comes Knocking!
The group arrived in front of a huge building where the words "Central Stadium" are fixed on the top side of the building, otherwise known as the Seaside Stadium because the place is constructed just more or less two hundred meters away from the sea.
The place is currently crowded with other concert-goers like them, and every people around them are laughing and smiling in excitement while a piece of background music is blasting off coming from the stadium.
"Let’s go, I’ve booked a Sky Box for us"
Allison and the others who rode with her came over towards Michael and the rest, and this time, Allison is wearing a black hat and a mask to hide her face.
Allison led them inside as they followed the crowd heading inside the stadium.
They didn’t take the usual path towards the stands, and instead, Allison led them through the stairs that led them upwards, and when they arrived there, they saw a long corridor filled with rooms.
And they weren’t the only people there as are there also others who booked a private room for themselves so that they can watch the concert more comfortably.
"Let’s go,"
Allison said as she took off her mask and hat the moment they arrived there.
As Michael and the rest followed after Allison, some of the people they would bump into along the corridor were surprised to see Allison and would greet her after with smiles on their faces.
"Wow, this place is amazing!" Athena said as her eyes darted around like a curious little kid.
Michael just smiled at her as he was already accustomed to these things as he and Dylan had also taken a part-time job here before, and for Rick and Dana, they are already used to it as they had also gone with Allison before on some concerts or watching sports live.
Amanda, on the other hand, doesn’t look even a bit surprised.
"Here we are. Room 11"
The group before their own luxury box and Michael noticed that there are also other twenty more rooms here similar to theirs.
"Beer!" Athena quickly spotted a small fridge on the side, with canned beers lined up inside.
"Dylan, can I have some beer? I’ve always wanted to try one!" Athena smiled at her brother, and her eyes flashed with a cunning glint.
Dylan was chatting a bit with Allison when he suddenly heard his sister, and his expression quickly darkened when he heard her request. He wanted to reject her but didn’t want to make a wrong first impression on his celebrity girlfriend.
"Fine, only one, okay?" Dylan walked over to his sister and said to her in a low voice.
"And only this time"
"Okay! Thanks!" Athena snapped her fingers in joy as she quickly opened the fridge and took out a canned beer.
’Sly little fox’ Michael thought as he chuckled as he walked towards the small seating area at the front, where it gives them a good view of the whole stadium.
"Is he good?" Michael said the moment Rick came standing beside him.
"Who?" Rick glanced at Michael.
"I’m talking about the Arthur guy, I don’t really know anything much about him" Michael rolled his eyes.
Rick leaned his body away from Michael and looked at him like he was looking at someone who had lived under a rock.
"You seriously never heard of Arthur?"
"Nope"
"The King of Rock?"
"Never heard of him"
"The best rockstar of his era?"
"Seriously, no!"
"My god, what rock have you been living under?" Rick felt amazed at Michael’s ignorance.
"A very luxurious rock if I say so myself" Michael couldn’t help but arrogantly shrug his shoulders.
"But I guess that Arthur dude is good if he was called the King of Rock or something"
"Hahaha! You had seriously never heard about him!?"
Then Michael and Rick heard Dana laughing from behind them while the woman is tapping Michael’s shoulder.
"I only learned about him a day ago when you said that we’ll be watching a concert about a guy called Arthur in the city," Michael said, laughing a bit.
"Hmmph!" Amanda who is sitting in front of the bar counter gave a cold snort as she drank a beer with Athena while looking at Dana.
"Are you really a famous player?" Athena asked Amanda with curious eyes.
"I’m not, but my in-game name is" Amanda answered as she took a sip of her beer.
"How about joining our guild miss!?" Rick suddenly came over to their side and asked Amanda with a huge smile on his face.
"We’ll see, but not right now," Amanda said.
Rick wanted to chat with her more and try to convince her to join them, but he saw Michael glaring at him, so he stopped himself, but he made a mental note that he would certainly get her to join them in the future.
He knew that it would a huge leap of reputation to their guild if they manage to rope in Solitary Tempest who had a lot of fans in the gaming circle. They probably wouldn’t even expect that the person behind that name is a beautiful woman such as Amanda, and there would certainly a lot of players that would join them, especially male ones!
Knock! Knock!
Ten minutes before the start of the concert, they suddenly heard a knock from their door and a group of people laughing outside.
Rick quickly looked at Allison as he recognized one of the people from their waves of laughter.
Rick went over and opened the door, and what greeted him are three men young men standing before him.
He smiled at them, and his gaze were really cold.
"What do you three want?"
All of them had blonde or dirty blonde hair, and the one standing in front of the three smiled at Rick, and tilted his head to the side, and his eyes quickly lit up the moment he saw Allison inside.
"I heard that Allison is staying here. I came to drop by and say hi"
"F*ck off kid"
Rick smiled and slammed the door on their faces, but he realized that he failed when he noticed a foot quickly slipping in and stopped the door from closing.
"You don’t want to mess with us Rick, let us in" one the young men threatened.
"Really? Enlighten me then, you little prick" Rick smiled as he pressed his forehead to the young man.
Michael was looking at the commotion happening at the door, and he leaned to the side and whispered, "Wow, he sure acts a little...different from outside the game"
Dana laughed and replied, "It’s not like that, he just hates the guts of those three punks as they constantly pester my sister and causes her a bit of trouble sometimes"
Meanwhile.
"Bastard, do you think we’re afraid of you!?" one the punks yelled at Rick.
"Move!" the one leading them shoved Rick to the side and walked inside straight towards Allison, but when his eyes landed on Amanda and Athena, his eyes lit up and were filled with lust for a second before it reverted back to normal.
Michael was the only one who noticed it and his eyes quickly turned cold and made a mental note to remember the punk’s appearance in case he causes some trouble to the two ladies in the future.
"I finally had the chance of seeing you again. Why do you always avoid me? I’ve been suddenly sending you invitations to the parties that I’ve hosted" said the young man as he arrived before Allison, completely ignoring the other people inside the room.
Allison just smiled and said, "Because I don’t want to attend those parties. I’d rather stay home and play Fate Online, and it’s best for you to leave Mister Andy as me and my friends are currently having a gathering by ourselves"
"But we’re friends, and you’re friends are my friends too, so..." Andy laughed and tried to put his hands around Allison.
But a figure suddenly blocked him which made Andy stumbled a bit when he bumped into the person.
"Who are you?" Andy said, his eyes were filled with rage as he looked at Dylan.
"Dylan, as my girlfriend had said earlier, you are not welcomed here, Mister Andy" Dylan literally didn’t even think of asking who the guy is, and his actions just now had already offended the young man which would certainly trouble him later.
After all, the young man is clearly from a prominent family from just how arrogant he was behaving before them.
"Gi..girlfriend!? You!?"
