Chapter 5 : dinner party
In the evening, that same day, at Tastia restaurant, the surrounding were beautiful and luxurious, it was one of the best restaurant in lag base city, second only to native restaurant.
Oba took a taxi and stopped in front of Tastia restaurant, as he stepped out of the car, he noticed that some of his classmates have arrived earlier than him. "Obafemi, you made it" a voice said. Oba turned around and saw his friend obi walking toward him in a mid class suite attire.
"I am happy that you are here, you have only cared about book all these while, its time you ease your stressed brain a bit" Obi added with a warm smile, stepping forward and placing his arm over Oba's shoulder
"Am I late?" Oba asked.
"Not at all, you came right on time".
"Look who's here, is that not good for nothing Oba, who throws his weight around as some kind of god of war, I never expected that he is so poor and he can't even afford a low second class suite outfit" a young man in his twenties sneered.
"And how is that your business" Obi said with a raised voice trying to defend Oba, Oba has appeared to the party on a low key golf polo T-shirt, a black trouser and canvas which cost less than 10 dollars each. On the other hand, Timi was one of Bryce's men. He had shown up in a good first class suite outfit, he purposely wants to embarrass Oba's mother to gain more favor from his young master Bryce.
"A gathering like this is only for the rich and the not for people like Oba who is as poor as a church mouse" Timi sneered with a wicked smile on his lip.
Oba was quiet all these while as if he heard nothing, then he suddenly spoke up. "I can see that you haven't learnt your lesson from the way I dealt with your useless men the last time, you were lucky to have sent your men to help your young master, otherwise I would have beaten you alongside them" Oba smirked in return, lowering Timi's pompous spirit from 100% to 50%.
"They are just losers, I have already punished them as they deserved, I am a primary level warrior, a bloody civilian like you is nothing before me , considering that I'm in a good mood today, I won't make it difficult for you, I will only give you two chances, it now depends if you can make good use of it. One, go on your knees and call me master Tmi and I will consider letting you off this time or I will break one of your arms before letting you go" Timi spoke arrogantly with a wicked grin.
Oba was not moved, uttering no word, he walked in step toward the Restaurant's entrance door and Obi followed him from behind. On hearing the name time, obi instantly recalled his identity and got frightened. Slowly he was now sweating without noticing it. Obi whispered to Oba giving him information about the confronter Timi.
"His name is Timi, I heard that he is already an intermediate level primary warrior, he can instantly defeat ten top level boxing champions at a time, his punch is weighing not less than 500kg. he is invincible, even a pistols nothing before him. He can only be defeated by a 100 soldier firing at the same time or using an advanced weapon. Please try not to offend him" obi pleaded.
"if he avoid me then I will have no problem with him. but, if he is thinking of making it difficult for me, I will have no other choice but to defend myself".
Suddenly, timi rushed and blocked them in an instant speed, as fast as a bullet.
"how dare you snob me" timi shouted with rage. Oba has expected this to happen and reacted quickly, controlling the punch coming the fury Timi, when Timi charge against him the second time, his spirit eyes quickly saw the flaws in timi angry unplanned attack. Oba threw a heavy blow weighing about 850kg on timi left breast, and dodging Timi intended blow on his face, the weight of Oba's punch instantly sent Timi flying ten meters away, crashing his body on the wall of the restaurant close to the entrance door.
Obi saw this and was surprised, he was expecting Oba to be the one crashing, but reverse was the case. The sound of the crash attracted those nearby, some were Oba's classmates while some were people who were entering the restaurant for dinner.
"wow, Oba when did you become so powerful, even able to stand against a primary warrior" obi asked in bewildment.
"he is powerful, am only 40% sure of defeating him, I was only able to lay a blow on him because of his careless unplanned attack" Oba said and sighed over his weakness..
"But I can't show my weakness" he encouraged himself.
people around were now muttering words "when did the good for nothing oba became so strong"
"I wonder if he can withstand the fury of Bryce's men when they launch a joint attack against him" said a young lady of about 18 years of age smiling wickedly like the devils daughter.
Oba glared at her instantly on hearing her threatening remark, his eyes were firm and intimidating like a piercing dagger. The look instantly made the lady to recoil in fear. When she recovered from her shock after 5 seconds, she yelled at Oba.
"I dare you to touch me and I will tell my fiancé Bryce to break your bones tonight. A good for nothing person like you who has no proper background and has nothing to contribute to the society, I advise you to know your place, am not your class.
Oba remained quiet and watched silently; Timi regained his stance, his face turned with fury.
"I really underestimated you Oba, it seems that I got the information wrong, but don't think of celebrating early, I was just testing your strength ealier. I wasn't serious then, now I will show you the true strength of a primary warrior, today I will break your limbs one by one, setting you as an example for others who dare to offend me or the Jagaban's family.
He dashed toward Oba in speed like an arrow shot from its bow. Oba was gathering his strength to defend the dangerous incoming blow of Timi, and then suddenly the heavy punch of Timi was intercepted by a tall burly man (Buga). He was the chief security man of the restaurant; he has attained the level of an advanced primary warrior. Buga was now in his late forties, he was still muscular that his black security suite finds it difficult enduring the expansion and contraction of his muscular body. An aura of a peak primary warrior was emanating from him.
"Fighting is not allowed in this place, incase if you don't know the rules here, I will forgive both of you just this time. But, I won't be polite if this scene repeat itself again, is that clear" his voice was authoritative like someone who has once served in the army.
"yes sir" they relied in unison.
They both made a bow to the chief security man, as a sign of respect. Then move separate ways at the edge of the walkways walking toward the entrance of the restaurant.
"ptff, you are lucky this time, your savior arrived on time to rescue you, otherwise I would have crushed your bones to pieces. Don't ever think to be lucky the next time we meet" Timi threatened with an angry eyes glaring at Oba like a sharp dagger.
But Oba was not moved nor intimidated by the appearance of his face. Oba walked into the restaurant with composure not minding the glaring eyes from Timi. Obi ran after Oba from behind in fear of Timi attacking him.
The whole place was quiet now, everyone around continued with their normal activities. Some ladies were now giggling about the recent scene they witnessed, some remained silent to avoid attracting problems to themselves. No one dares to offend the great families of Lag base city.
Obafemi and Obi soon entered the booked area for the class dinner. Rich and wealthy young masters all dressed in first class suite. young ladies in expensive gown looking so classy with expensive bracelets, necklaces and other jewelries. some people were exchanging greetings, and some were caring a glass of wine. sound of cool music playing, calm but audible enough.
Oba walked around with obi, shaking hands with few of his classmates. afterward he sighted Natasha, she was well dressed with a modest gown outfit. they was no much jewelry on her but the one she has were expensive as expected from a lady from a rich second class family only below the Behemoth of Lag base city.
"Hi Oba" Natasha greeted waving her hand and walking toward Oba with a beam of smile on her face.
