Chapter 96: Wonderful Superstar
"Mark, Lila, meet my girlfriend, Mia," he spoke.
Mark and Lila suddenly exchanged short glances and turned back to Mia\'s direction.
"Hi," Mia was the first to greet.
"Hi," Mark quickly did the same.
It took a while before Lila greeted her, but at least she still managed to do it.
"Hi, Mia."
Arnold rolled his eyes in relief and told both Mark and Lila to come and have a seat.
"Congratulations, bro. You are now a double champion," Mark said as he walked over to take a seat.
"That bastard thinks he can ruin your career... Unfortunately, he approached the wrong person," Mia said with a delighted smile.
When they sat, Arnold sat down as well, and they began to converse.
"He is a great fighter... I was just lucky," Arnold hesitated and said.
"Really? After surviving two Black Masks??! No way! You deserved to win. Everyone knew that the moment you kicked out from the second Black Mask strike," Lila said.
This made Arnold smile because he knew he really deserved to win. Tristan Black was strong, but he wasn\'t just strong enough... Just like Jerry Blaze.
"I really appreciate your support guys. I wouldn\'t have achieved this without you. Thanks," Arnold decided to acknowledge their friendship, causing Mark and Lila a bright face.
"Sure, we\'ll always be together in this!" Mark said.
Lila didn\'t say a word but nodded, indicating her happiness. At that moment, Mia was only smiling and watching as he listened to their conversation, resting her head on her boyfriend\'s shoulder.
"Now that Tristan is out of the game, I want you to compete in the secret battle royal that will be taken next week. You must win to join me and the two others in the Royal Rumble Match at Fallout," Arnold Mark, but he only shrugged and glared.
"I don\'t think I should be competing in that match. I don\'t deserve it," Mark said with a dark look.
This statement made Arnold glare, but I\'m the next moment; he patted his friend\'s shoulder.
"You should stop underestimating yourself. Trust me, bro, you will never succeed that way," Arnold advised.
"That\'s by the way. We have to celebrate this win!"
"Yeah!!" The three friends shouted in excitement, while Mia only maintained a wide smile, leaning toward her boyfriend as if like a baby catching a cold.
******
After three days since Super Grindhouse, Arnold, his friends, and other Grindhouse wrestlers were back at Capside Centre.
Arnold and his friends had celebrated massively after their return, and Mia had already gone back to Rising Impact University.
There was a stunning statement she left with Mark and Lila when they attempted to know more about her, and that was...
"Arnold is my fiance."
They didn\'t say a word to question that statement at that time but nodded with a smile as if they were stunned.
At the same time, they didn\'t even mind to ask Arnold about it.
...
Arnold spent those three days after they returned to Capside Centre to rest. He needed it... Although the system had asked him to.
He also told his friends that he would be in seclusion after their celebration party...
When he finally came out, he went ahead to their rooms and paid them a visit. He went straight to Mark\'s room at first and they visited Lila together.
After meeting Lila, they decided to take a walk down the surroundings of Capside Centre. There was a large basketball arena somewhere in the western part of Capside Centre, and fortunately, there was an ongoing match today.
Arnold and his friends decided to go watch the game, and when he attempted to care of the entry ticket payment, Mark insisted that he\'d pay.
Arnold had no choice after Mark insisted severally, so he kept his money back in his pocket as they entered the arena.
They were lucky that the game was just beginning...
However, what the three figures saw on the scoreboard stunned them away.
(Max Fury Neckbusters VS Tristan Black Masks).
"What the f**k?!" Mark was the first to react.
Lila only laughed out loud, and the Alps forced Arnold to do the same. The three found this more funny and shocking, and the least they could do was just laugh.
Arnold was happy that they had to sit at the back of the seating, making sure that they weren\'t noticed by anyone.
Interestingly, the game was going with Max Fury Neckbusters leading the game. It wasn\'t as if they were some sort of genius players, it was just a basketball game, and the Max Fury side was just good enough to take the lead.
Arnold was happy... Truthfully, he liked the fact that his representatives were winning.
They were just his fans who loved him, but they were wonderful people.
He only wished he had enough to reward them for their love, but it was unfortunate in the end.
Soon, the game was in its ending stages, and most of the viewers were cheering for the leading side.
Mark and Lila were doing the same, but Arnold only folded his arms and watched.
Just then, his phone beeped for a moment, indicating that he had a phone call.
(Matthew Bridges — CALLING).
Arnold smiled slightly after seeing the caller. He quickly picked up, and let Matthew speak first.
"Hey, friend! Horny Tyres just announced their sale of five million tires!!! Oh my gosh! I\'m gonna be having a Range Rover to myself!" Matthew shouted excitedly at the other hand.
Arnold\'s eyes widened after hearing what Matthew said... He actually didn\'t know his next reaction at that time... Filled with joy, he clenched his fist.
"Yes!"
Just as Matthew ended the call, he suddenly got a notification of a message from the Horny Tyres management.
(Horny Tyres: Your great influence has brought good fortune to our company. We have made five million sales in five weeks after the commercial).
(You will be granted all the promised rewards as soon as possible. However, the company would like to make you a permanent dealer of our advertising board. Thank you, Max Fury).
At that moment, Arnold left the arena immediately just to find a place to scream out his excitement!
