Night Party [1]

The party that Ryan had organized was perfectly balanced. On one hand, there was alcohol, which most people were drinking, but he had stopped because Max had recommended it to him. Also, the music was the best thing that should be at a night like this.

After all, it was a special night where Ryan expected to face the guy who had brought him so many problems.

Rather, he wanted to redefine his masculinity.

He had opened the doors of his house to Jake Tyler, and not only did he keep flirting with his girlfriend Baja Miller, but it seemed that later on, they joined together.

That was a huge disrespect that Ryan was determined to settle, no matter the cost.

That's why he chose the mansion Max had rented to celebrate this night of fights, partying, and pure excitement.

"This is crap, I'll kick that cocky bitch's ass," Devon shouted, watching the girl she would face later.

Max looked at his friend and advised, "If you fight angry, you won't win. Don't let her get into your head."

"I understand."

Zara, who was standing next to Devon, whispered to her, "Don't let her comments bother you. When you beat her, you'll show everyone that you're much better, and everyone will know it."

Devon nodded slightly, following the advice of this girl, who knew the perfect way to provoke others.

In the end, Zara was the only one who had come to this party, while Max, on the other hand, had invited everyone.

"When will your girlfriend get here?" Max looked at Miguel, who kept making phone calls.

"She's not answering my messages." Miguel was frustrated due to the many problems and misunderstandings he had been having lately with Sam.

From seeing her spend time with a guy he didn't know to accidentally seeing her ignore his messages.

"It doesn't matter, we'll have fun tonight."

Max said nothing; he didn't understand his friends' need for a girlfriend when they weren't ready to be in a relationship. Few people understood themselves well enough, so having a girlfriend would lead to bad outcomes, which could be avoided if they only knew themselves better.

"Do you guys have these kinds of parties often?" Zara was enjoying the party, which had everything so far. She had never seen anything like it in China.

"Once a month, sometimes less often." Max came all the time, but only to watch the fights. Others were more interested in some specific things that weren't related to the fights.

"Hey, did you know I was on the high school basketball team and I was pretty good at it?" Zara said, looking at the slogan on Max's hoodie as he walked across the open yard where more people were.

"I was good at chess, not bragging, but I've always had a good mental capacity to react to situations," Max said, something he hadn't told many people until now.

But at that moment, while they were talking, Miguel spotted his girlfriend in the distance, who had decided to come to the party and was surprisingly being followed by another guy.

"This is getting interesting with your friend, that must be his girlfriend, right?" Zara asked Max, who fixed his gaze in a certain direction.

"Yeah, we better go."

…

Miguel had been calling Sam all day, but she decided not to answer him. In fact, maybe she couldn't.

He didn't know that her romantic situation was a little complicated due to her father Daniel's hatred for Cobra Kai, which had now become a big martial arts school.

Sam couldn't introduce Miguel to her family because of her father's hatred. On the other hand, Miguel, who was a calm guy, wanted to explain to Daniel in detail what had happened in that fight where he intervened.

But neither of them had had time to explain things properly to each other.

Miguel wanted to resolve all these issues in his relationship with Sam, which is why he went directly to her house to talk.

Unexpectedly, he found Robby having dinner with Sam's family, getting the space he wanted with his girlfriend.

The confusion increased when Miguel invited Sam to the party, and she never responded, creating wrong ideas, even leading him to believe there was infidelity.

"How unexpected to see you tonight." Miguel suppressed his urge to explode and approached his girlfriend, who was closely followed by Robby.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Robby asked, pointing to Miguel, who was obviously upset.

"Yes, he's my boyfriend." Sam turned to Miguel and understood he might be upset, so she said, "Miguel, relax, this is Robby, he works for my dad."

"Oh, with your dad, alright, that makes sense." Miguel hadn't been drinking because he would be participating in the tournament tonight.

"Wait, you're getting the wrong idea…" Sam didn't want Miguel to misinterpret the situation, so she wanted to explain.

But just as Miguel was about to question all his problems with her, a hand landed on his shoulders and asked, "Why don't you take your girlfriend to the private area where the fighters and their friends are?"

"Max, this is not the time…"

Max looked at Miguel and said, "You can go now and sort things out with your girlfriend, let me talk to Robby. I'll show him around."

Miguel didn't want to cause a scene, so he asked, "Are you coming?"

"Yeah…" Sam looked at Robby and said, "See you later."

"Wait, I can't leave her alone."

"Is she a little girl?" Max asked, staring at Robby, who hadn't expected him to act this way toward strangers.
