He'd been savoring it for a few minutes now while quietly admiring the beauty of his two recently found companions.<br/><br/>He gave a soft sigh and took a draw on his saucer, then set the empty remainder down.  “My good men,” he said softly, removing his gold rimmed spectacles.  “The procurators of this house have shown me fine hospitality.  Please show them the respect of permitting us to take this out side.”<br/><br/>Neither the many minions of the Governor, nor his own comely, copper skinned barbarian companion seemed inclined to oblige.  AS the mooks poured around the Indian girl to get to him, Jainyu caught a waitress by the hand.  He tucked his spectacles into the neck of her snug silk dress and flashed her a smile.  “Please be so kind as to hold these for me.”<br/><br/>Then he turned back to the oncoming mooks and closed his jacket over his silk shirt and denim pants.  IT was a dense, thick, heavy buff jacket.  On the surface, it seemed to be a leather long coat reinforced with ceramic scales.  He'd made it himself, layering fine quilted padding and rubber under the leather.<br/><br/>AS if he hadn all the time in the world, the tall and powerfully built Chinese scholar cinched the belt around his waist.  There was a sharp crack as electromagnets cinched the jacket into place.  There was a loud hum as the powerful battery on the back of the belt wined to life.<br/><br/>Leaving his parang at the table with his saddlebags and back pack, Jainyu drew twin metal batons from his belt  A wire connected them to the belt, and through it to the battery.  At the last moment, he leveled one heavy copper rod at the mooks.  The other struck down the length fo it.  White hot sparks sprayed out though the mooks.<br/><br/>Though they burned exposed skin and made hair smolder, the biggest damage the spray did was send brilliant flashes of light into the unprepared men's eyes.  While they recoiled and blinked, Jianyu broke into a charge.  He danced among them, striking at weapon arms with the highly charged copper rods.  This forced the men to scream and convulse and drop their blows.  A spin and a strike later, the men would drop, as if pole axed, by a mighty, electrified blow to the temple or sternum!
