Is this destiny?

Chapter 466 - Las Vegas (10)

Man in dark red suit was alerted by this unexpected voice. He straightened his back and squinted to see who the owner of that voice is. But the voice came from the dark, it was impossible to see anything from that direction other than the darkness.

It was very quiet. For few endless seconds, only lonely footsteps were heard, approaching them. And then figure of an older man came into the light.

"Jarred…" Man in red suit scoffed. "What brings you here?"

"My sense of justice brings me here." Jarred responded and made a movement with his hand on the side. At the same time, space was filled with a sound of numerous footsteps as Jarred's men surrounded them.

Man in red suit was not able to hide shock and horror in his expression. His eyes opened wide as his henchmen got surrounded.

Jarred stopped few steps away from the man in the red suit. "We can do this easy way, or…"

"What is the easy way?" Man in the red suit asked with hope in his voice.

Jarred laughed. "Ha! I cheated just now… there is no easy way." He snapped his fingers and at the same time huge fight started between his men and bodyguards. No one paid any heed to Sarah and Aiden anymore. Aiden understood that this is why Sarah was so relaxed… she knew that this old man will come. He gave her a side glance showing his displeasure.

Sarah understood. "Sorry… I didn't have the chance to tell you in advance." She showed her cutest smile, trying to coax him… ignoring the ruckus all around them.

Aiden helplessly shook his head and turned to pay attention to the fight. He understood that Sarah doesn't want them to participate in this fight, but if someone comes too close, he will not hold back.

It didn't take more than few minutes… Jarred's men overwhelmed the bodyguards with numbers and skill. They dragged their broken bodies outside… Soon it was only four of them. And it was quiet again.

Man in red suit glared at Jarred. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to be the one to win tonight… but this little girl beat me to it." Jarred glanced at Sarah and then turned to the man in red suit. "Now I'm left with a dilemma… should I wait for my next chance or get rid of you right now." Jarred stroked his chin.

"Why?"

Jarred's face darkened. "Because you crippled my nephew when he won six months ago!"

Man's knees trembled while watching Jarred approach him. "What will you do?" Man shrieked from fear.

"I will shut down this business of yours! And then I will shut you down… but don't worry, I will not do it right now. I will take my time. My nephew is suffering for six months already. I can't let you have a quick end." Jarred gestured with his arm and four men swiftly arrived by his side.

Jarred didn't remove his piercing gaze from the trembling man in front of him. "Take him."

Four men grabbed man in dark red suit and carried him outside. He was kicking and screaming, but he had no way to resist. Once they were far enough so that man's voice was not heard, Jarred turned to face Sarah and Aiden.

"Thank you, old man.", Sarah said immediately.

"Thank you, little girl, for letting me get my revenge in this way. Even though I didn't win I still feel like a winner." Jarred smiled and threw a glance at the smallest box on the table. He took a deep breath and looked away with difficulty. "Let me know if I can be of any further help.", Jarred said without waiting for Sarah to speak. He was already walking outside.

"Actually, there is one thing…" Sarah spoke and Jarred stopped his steps.

He looked at her questionably.

"Can you transport these two cars to a specific address?" Sarah looked at him and flashed a smile.

Jarred exhaled sharply. He was obviously irritated. But still, he responded with a small nod. "Yes."

Sarah gave him a paper from her purse. "This is the address. They will be expecting you."

Jarred took the paper, glanced at it and gave a small nod. "Anything else?" His voice showed that he is annoyed. He was polite offering further help, and this little girl is brazen enough to ask for something! Where is this world going? Who is raising this youth? No manners…

Jarred's internal complaining was cut short when he saw that Sarah is handing him the smallest box from the table. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and blinked few times, not sure if he is seeing right.

"It seems you will appreciate it more than me, old man." Sarah smiled seeing that he was not expecting it.

Jarred took the box with shaky hands and opened it. Flawless blue diamond greeted him. "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Yes." Sarah confirmed. "I have no use for it… and I noticed that you want it."

Jared closed the box and looked at Sarah with his eyes full of emotions which he was not able to put into words. "This was the last prize when my nephew played six months ago.", He said after a long pause. His face looked much older than few minutes ago, as if he aged ten years at that moment. It was obvious that he is very emotional.

He took a moment to compose himself and started laughing. "I thought of doing it a bit later, but now it will be done right away!" He made a phone call and few minutes later a large truck backed into the warehouse.

Two majestic cars which Sarah won were safely secured in the spacious trailer.

"They will be at the address you provided by morning." Jarred assured Sarah as they watched truck leave the warehouse.

"Thank you, old man. You saved us some trouble." Sarah smiled.

"Little girl, if you need anything… ANYTHING! Don't hesitate to call me. You have my number." Jarred shook Sarah's hand and Aiden's while laughing and left the warehouse in large strides. He was in good mood.

Sarah looked at Jarred's back as he left and could not wonder what his background is. He seems to be a powerful man. She will look him up when they get back.

"You make… interesting friends easily…" Aiden said with a complex expression. Then he remembered the cars and his mood dropped. He was hoping to drive that McLaren Roadster. At least a little bit. "Where did the cars go?"

Sarah saw his sour expression and laughed. "Don't worry. There is a workshop I trust… they will check condition of cars and make sure that they are clean. I don't want to risk any tracing devices before we take them." She was happy to see that his mood improved after her explanation. Sarah tugged his sleeve. "Let's take these…", she was referring to two remaining boxes. "…and go to deposit the check before heading back to hotel. Then we can celebrate!"

"Sure, sure…" Aiden felt that finally he can relax. "How about a bubble bath?"

"Sounds amazing!" Sarah giggled while picking up boxes. "Oh, and some strawberry ice cream!" She handed him larger box of the two to carry.

Sarah and Aiden walked out of the warehouse each in their own thoughts how they will relax when they return to hotel. They didn't reach far when without any warning, they were surrounded by a large number of bodyguards.

"Now what?", Aiden mumbled.. 'Who are these guys?' He glanced at Sarah and saw that she is serious. That means that these guys are someone she didn't plan for!
