Billy's legs started shaking, it seems these people would not let him go until he fulfilled his side of the bet.
He turned to face Ethan.
"After all I did for you. This is how you pay me back. You bastard!"
"I won't agree to my side of the bet because you clearly stole the money, it wasn't your real money unlike me, spending my actual cash"
"These weren't stated in the bet. Mr Billy, you have lost and it's only right for you to fulfill your side of the bet"
The waiter sounded nonchalantly.
Everybody in the bar slowly stood up one after the other.
"You must agree to your side of the bet, boy. A deal is a deal"
"You and your friends ain't going anywhere until you fulfill your side of the bet"
"Don't think of forming an escape like a kid. You must fulfill your side of the bet.
Billy felt like tearing up when Everybody in the room was supporting Ethan. It was because they all thought he was rich, not knowing he's just a poor guy pretending to be rich.
He wished he could let the crowd know that with proof but he didn't seem to have one now.
Billy looked around, there was no escape route, he was really going to kiss Ethan's boot, he would rather die than do such a thing.
Billy tears up inside, he faces Ethan and sounds threatening.
"Ethan, I hope you haven't forgotten who I am. One snap of a fingers from me, and your entire existence would be over, hope you haven't forgotten about lady Madison kettle"
Billy looked straight into Ethan's eyes, he thought Ethan would back away, but Ethan looked unaffected as if he wasn't talking to him.
"Whether you are the King's son, I don't care, and as for lady Madison kettle it has been taken care of. So whatever you're going to say I don't care, now go down on your knees and kiss my boot today"
Billy's face darkened, he wanted to say something when people started surrounding them slowly.
"Man, I am out of here"
All his friends ran away, Billy tried to stop them but they were long gone.
Billy heartbeat started increasing, he was alone and these men didn't like people messing around.
"Do what you said you would do boy"
A mysterious stranger touched Billy on his shoulder, Billy almost choked him out. He turned to face the direction of the voice and he didn't see anybody, more like he saw five people looking straight at him.
Billy had no choice than to face Ethan again, this time fear was written boldly in his face.
"I am sorry, man. I am sorry for what I did Ethan. There are other ways we can settle this. We are bro. We are friends"
Ethan expression was Deadpan as he stared at Billy, even if the he didn't come for Billy earlier and didn't do what was on his mind, he knows Billy would come back for revenge and he's going to destroy him completely, now that he's here, he wouldn't show a single sign of mercy.
"Kneel and kiss my feet Billy, if you don't, these men would run through you like a predator. Remember what happens in the bar stays in the bar"
Since he became a golden member, the waiter secretly gave him a piece of paper about his authority in the bar. He could get Billy messed up if he wanted to, but he doesn't want that.
At that moment Billy could see Some men's hands forming into fists.
"You are playing with your life kiddo"
Hearing that, Billy dropped to his knees..
"Please, let me go!. I swear I would give you whatever you want"
He finally understands that Ethan and the bar planned this together, just to waste his money, no wonder Ethan was able to afford everything he ordered, he planned everything with the bar.
It was the bar doings along he couldn't believe he didn't noticed it on time.
Ethan sounded threatening.
"Billy, you have five seconds to do as I say or face the consequences, I really don't care what happens to you"
Billy swallows hard upon hearing that. He held Ethan's legs.
"Please Ethan. Please let me go"
"I would never disturb you again"
Ethan suddenly started counting.
"One!"
Continue your adventure at empire
"Two!"
"Three!"
Billy's heart skipped twice hearing Ethan was counting fast, he never wanted to kiss Ethan boit, he never wanted to kneel for Ethan, he never wanted to plead for mercy, but he had no choice than to do it, unless his life would be done for.
Billy gritted his teeth, how could he kiss Ethan's feet.
A low life commoner.
He struggled with himself before he finally kissed Ethan on his boot.
He wanted to stand up when Ethan said.
"Do it again"
This time, Ethan was recording, Billy wanted to complain when the men stepped close to him. He quickly kissed Ethan on his boot again and again.
"Good dog, good dog"
Ethan sounded as he stopped the video, Billy wished the ground would swallow him. He felt like he stopped existing.
Ethan faced Billy.
"From now henceforth, I am not going to sit back and watch any of you bully me again, in fact it's my turn now. If you try anything stupid, I would upload this video on the school forum, let see who would quit schooling first"
Billy heart ceased to function, imagine what would happen if this gets to the school forum, his reputation would be gone.
"Be a good dog, Billy"
Ethan slapped Billy on his head and walked away, he came out of the bar.
He knew Billy wouldn't do the public apology that was why he did the video just in case anyone wants to double cross him again.
And the waiter told him he can leave without paying the fine.
Ethan left as he headed to his dorm.
Not long after Billy came out of the bar his jaw tightened he couldn't believe what just happened, he kissed Ethan boot and wasted his money all for nothing.
immediately he brought out his phone wanting to check if truly Ethan hasn't posted the video on the school forum.
immediately his eyes widened.
" What is the meaning of this?"
