Love Will Find A Way [Huskerdust]

Chapter 8

He finally stopped when we heard someone clear their throat.

None of the guns left my grasp, not until the guy in front of me backed off far enough.

Immediately, the third set of arms vanished somewhere into my body.

The other person's face turned extremely pale; I didn't even think that was possible. Not only was he pale, but he also seemed frightened as well.

I finally looked in the direction from which the throat clearing came. My breath caught in my throat.

Husk, the Overlord of Gambling, was standing right there, and he had stopped the harassment as well. Of course, I could've done it myself. I wasn't some damsel in distress, not some helpless little thing.

His golden eyes glared dangerously at the cannibal. "What is going on?" he asked with that ocean-deep voice, though this time it had a hiss to it.

Immediately, the guy in front of me began to stutter. "I- uhm," he started; making excuses didn't seem to be his strong suit.

But there was no time left for him to explain himself. Husk showed him with a simple nod of his head that he should go back to where he came from. "My employees will take care of you later," he promised, and immediately, the cannibal scrambled away.

The feline's expression softened as soon as the guy was gone. "Are you alright?" I stopped myself from scoffing; I was obviously alright, and my shaking hands weren't saying otherwise.

"I could've taken care of him by myself," I said and downed my drink in one go. A deep chuckle left the cat. "Of course, I had no doubt about that. I just thought I could give you a hand," he explained. It sounded sarcastic, sarcastic enough to make me glare slightly.

"How about a drink on the house in my private bar?" the Overlord asked, sensing the thick tension of the situation.

For a second, I thought about it. This was surely about more than just a drink and some small talk, but he could pay.

So I smiled my most charming smile and followed the Overlord.

His private bar was rather small. Everything was kept in dark colors and only illuminated by a dim lamp on the wall. The recurring symbols, reminiscent of a deck of cards, decorated the bar.

It surprised me a little when the Overlord himself stepped behind the bar. He immediately began to work, with much more precision than the old hellhound earlier.

Without looking up, he began to speak again. "You're Angel, right?" My smile morphed into a smirk. "So you've seen some of my movies?" The cat's face scrunched in confusion. "You're an actor?" Was he stupid?

Before I could answer, he put the glass he had just filled in front of me. The drink was pink, with a white umbrella sticking out. "I am an actor, yes, a porn actor," I explained and took a sip of my drink. My eyes widened slightly; it was better than anything I had before.

A rumble, close to that of a real cat, left him. "If that is the case, I must disappoint you. I don't consume porn," he said.

"Wait, how else would you know my name?" He began to work on his own drink. "When you were here with Valentino, he said your name at least once." I let that information sink in for a while. Yeah, Val definitely had. I wanted to hide myself.

The cat laughed, and whatever it was that was beating in my chest pumped weirdly faster. "Oh, don't worry. When I'm not mixing drinks or playing cards, things like that happen to me all the time." Why was he so fucking nice?

I sighed. "Why did you want to have a drink with me?" I asked since the answer wasn't obvious anymore. He began to sip on his own drink before answering.

"Because you seemed nice, and I didn't hear you talk much last time. It would make me happy to see you at my casino more often."

The world around me stopped for a second. He was lying, he was obviously lying. He was an Overlord; he didn't care about normal sinners.

I needed to get back to Val immediately.

"I have to go," I simply said, and without listening to his protests, I left the casino and got into the first taxi I saw.
