"Actually, what I mean to say is that are you enjoying the party?" He said with enthuse.
Dean snorted.
"The last time I checked you are also a guest here just like I am and not the host of the party. So it surprises me now that you are behaving like the host when the host is right here in front of me" Dean said and then took a sip from the drink he held.
The drink Dean took a sip from gave Vin a thought. He thought that he should have mixed the brom in the drink. He knew they can't escape that.
Little did he know that the Devikings brought their drink and the persons who served them was also from them. They only joined the group so as to blend. Dean smiled at his thoughts.
"Paul and I are acquaintance and him being an elderly one, I think moving closer to him to learn a lot of things will do me great good in life. So, if I act like an host I'm just anticipating our closeness. So Dean I don't see a big deal in helping a friend ask after his guests or is there?" He asked Paul.
His looks gave pure love and innocence that Paul couldn't help but to believe his words. Him been so naive was so happy and smiled.
"No not at all. I'm so grateful son" he said hurriedly.
Vin snorted inwardly as Paul called him son. Paul was old enough to father Vin but yet he was angry at the way he called him son. He felt Vin was too below him to be calling him son.
Dean looked at Paul who was smiling like a fool. He didn't know he was been used by Vin and will soon be tossed away.
"I don't seem to care about your relationship with anyone" Dean said bluntly. "Please excuse me" he said to Paul and then left.
Vin gritted his teeth and then groan stiffly.
"He is so arrogant" he said glaring at Dean's disappearing back.
Paul thought Vin was trying to find favor with Dean. He knowing Dean knew he wouldn't forgive anyone that messes with his family and Vin has done that time without numbers so he didn't blame Dean for treating him that way. He didn't say anything concerning it because he didn't want to offend Vin too.
"Thanks for today" he said instead.
What he got wasn't a pleasant smile as usual. He got a shocking hostile glare and this got the old man afraid. He didn't know what came on him. Then he blamed it on Dean who made the guy feel embarrassed.
Vin couldn't get his thoughts away being that all his plan to put the Devikings to ridicule came to naught. They look so fine instead of reacting to the pain and uncontrollable transformation the brom will cost them.
He wondered what went wrong. What they didn't administer well enough. Being that he was the one that went through the stress of everything he knew he didn't miss any information.
He was so much in deep thoughts that he didn't know when a jelly like substance dropped on his exposed skin. The jelly immediately melted into his skin like nothing was placed there. He didn't even take cognizance of all the process, not until that spot begin to itch him. He looked at the place but there was nothing so he thought maybe it was a stray mosquito that bit him.
"This stupid man couldn't even protect his party from mosquitoes" he grumbled scratching the spot. "Devikings, you seem to have escaped now but I'm sure there won't be a next time" he said with a gloomy look.
The personal assistant that was beside him saw him that he was unconsciously scratching his hand but wouldn't dare say anything when he knew they've messed up today. If he says anything when he's not been talked to, his head might be on a plate of gold.
The itchiness didn't reduce but increase that Vin began to feel discomfort.
"What is going on here" he asked his assistant as if the guy would know.
"Did something bite you sir?" He asked with a shaky voice.
" Isn't it obvious?" He shouted.
Thank God for the music, it would have sounded like a roar.
Within the space of three minutes, the itching has spread all through his body and it became really unbearable.
"Ah!!!" He screamed that everything stopped including the music.
His men rushed at him but to everyone's surprise, they caught the itching and start to scratch their bodies too. They begin to remove their clothes being that the itching was making it feel like soldier ants was seriously biting their bodies.
No one moved closer. Everyone was scared to get close so as not to catch the same infection. Reporters streamed in to take the pictures of the half naked men. They kept asking questions of what is going on but then none knew the answer.
This time the Devikings already bid Paul and his family bye.
"We need medical attention!!" One of Vin's men shouted.
