You could use process.nextTick() to make you code asynchronous. Afterwards everything will work as expected. This is the note from the node documentation:

The process.nextTick() method adds the callback to the "next tick queue". Once the current turn of the event loop turn runs to completion, all callbacks currently in the next tick queue will be called.

eventTest(){
    process.nextTick(() => {
        this.emit("event");
    });
    console.log(this.token);
}
