"Not far from here, there's a bathhouse called Scarlet Bloom Lounge. Julian and his crew frequent the place," Caspian answered.
Jack turned to Leo. "Are you sure Leslie sent Julian after me?"
"Yes," Leo confirmed without hesitation.
Jack flicked away his cigarette and stood up abruptly. "Let's go. Tonight, we're paying Scarlet Bloom Lounge a visit."
The moment he spoke, the group erupted in agreement. Caspian's eyes gleamed—he had been waiting for a chance to settle the score with Julian.
But soon, a trace of worry crept onto his face. Scarlet Bloom Lounge was Julian's stronghold. Jack's plan was no different from walking into a lion's den.
Leo shared the concern. "Isn't this a bit reckless?"
Jack smirked. "With me here, nothing will go wrong."
Leo's hesitation vanished instantly. "Then, count me in! There's no way I'm missing out on this."
Caspian added, "Boss, if you help me get my revenge, my life is yours."
After checking in on Isaac, the group left the campus, hailed a few taxis, and set off toward Scarlet Bloom Lounge.
Upon arrival, they found the place lavishly decorated. The moment they stepped inside, they were surrounded by women dressed in fitted slit dresses, heavily made up and oozing flirtation.
