When evening fell, long after Alex King had left the house, Lucy Williams received a message on her cell phone. Today her classmates were going to meet in a restaurant in the city, although she did not like to go to that type of meeting, today she decided to go to alleviate the melancholic state in her.
When Alex King arrived at the arena, Master Wu was sitting in the main box, and next to him was his granddaughter, after going directly to the box, Alex King said: «Brother Wu, I want to enter the arena today , I need to earn money.
Master Wu was shocked by this, although he knew that Alex King had come to him for money, he also knew that he would not participate in the arena if he had a choice, furthermore, he was concerned that Alex King's level is not yet suitable for a real fight.
Brother King, what makes you be in such a hurry? Hadn't we agreed that you would participate in the arena in a few days? Why now the urgency? If you need money, just tell me, and I can give it to you.
Although Alex King knew that Master Wu had good intentions, but given his personality, he does not feel comfortable receiving help, as long as there is a way that he can solve the problem himself, he will not go to others to do it.
"Don't worry brother Wu, just give me a chance to enter the arena, and the rest I will do."
Seeing Alex King's determined attitude, Master Wu could only nod.
"Then you will enter the arena in the first fight tonight, and it depends on how you fight, you can participate in others."
Alex King already had knowledge of the operation of the arena, he knew that in the first fights there would not be much money for the fighters, and the difference in money between losing or winning was not much, since the public was small. But as the night progressed, the audience would increase.
He would have to win the first fights to earn the right to participate in the last ones, this system had been established by Master Wu, because this motivated the fighters to give their all in the arena, achieving more profit if they won.
This decision had made the Wu family arena the most popular in the city, the other arenas, although on the surface, there is almost no difference between the boxing courts, but a closer look will reveal that there are many young girls in the stands, in revealing clothing. They wake up the hormones of those male viewers, and there are a lot of dirty jobs out there.
This is also a major factor in those arenas that can steal customers. But the quality of the fighters compared to the arena of the Wu family is low, the fights look fake, and they only managed to attract spectators interested in carnal pleasure.
Alex King came down from the box, and went to the area where the fighters were.
Seeing Alex King's back come out of the box, Jade Wu approached her grandfather, and in a soft and condescending tone asked him: "Grandpa, do you think he's ready for the arena?"
If Master Wu was asked this before seeing Alex King fight Coach in the arena, there would be no hesitation in him answering no. But after seeing the speed at which Alex King acquired and adapted to combat skills, he was now unsure.
"Whether he's ready or not, I can't say, but we'll have the answer today in a while, don't tell me you're worried about him." Master Wu said with a smile on his face.
"What do you say! Why should I worry about someone like him? " Jade Wu replied trying to appear indifferent, but her flushed face gave her away.
Seeing that her grandfather was looking at her with grace, she threatened him: "If you keep saying those things, don't blame me for being rude," she said, looking at her grandfather, while with her right hand towards the grimace of cutting with scissors.
Master Wu instinctively brought his hand to his beard, as if to protect it.
Although Master Wu had officially passed the position of family leader to his eldest son, who did not know in Rever City that he was still the most important person in the entire family? But no one would believe that this authority figure, and the scary man who now appeared in front of his granddaughter, were the same person.
Master Wu loved his granddaughter above all things, and from a very young age she was pampered by him, and every time he tried to refuse a request from her, he was threatened that he would cut his beard when he was taking a nap.
This routine was very common among them.
...
When Alex King was preparing for his first fight of the night in the basement, Lucy Williams was entering the same restaurant in a fancy box where her companions were.
The first face that Lucy saw when entering the box was that of Yeni Bing, and the expressions of Lucy's classmates upon seeing her enter, made it clear to Lucy that Yeni Bing had already recounted everything that had happened to her when midday.
This did not affect Lucy Williams, achieving that was her intention from the beginning, so she decided to turn a blind eye to all those expressions.
Shortly afterwards, three young men dressed from head to toe in famous brand clothing also arrived at the checkout. This was Lucy Williams's classmates, among Lucy Williams's classmates, Lucy Williams used to have high status, and even many male classmates chased after Lucy Williams with the idea of getting closer to her.
In the past, Lucy Williams was on a very high pedestal, but ever since Alex King joined her, her classmates have only been ridiculing her. Especially those male classmates who were rejected earlier by Lucy, started to be mean, and were cold in class. So much so that Lucy Williams would now avoid her classmates.
The leader of the three was Steven Palmer, in the past he chased Lucy, and like everyone else he was also rejected: "I apologize for being late" Steven said as he looked at the time on his gold watch on his wrist, while with the other hand played with the key of his BMW.
"I hope they weren't expecting me." He said with an attitude of false humility.
Yeni Bing ran to Steven's side and took him by the arm, "Come in, come in, don't worry." He said as he led Steven to sit in the main seat, giving it the utmost importance.
Everyone in the classroom knew about Yeni's feelings towards Steven, and this was the reason why Yeni Bing was so motivated to find out about Lucy Williams' current situation earlier.
And now with the new information that I manage to obtain in the lunch with Lucy and Alex before, I do not hesitate to have a meeting with the whole class to expose Lucy to everyone, and finish lowering her from the pedestal she was on before in Steven's eyes .
What he did not imagine is that when he invited Steven Palmer and told him what had happened at lunch with Lucy at noon. He saw this opportunity to show Lucy Williams how much money his family had, and he was the one with the idea of holding the meeting at the Wu family restaurant, where he would pay all expenses.
Down in the basement, Alex King was entering the arena in his first fight, his opponent was a tall man, with both arms tattooed, with a much stronger build in sight than Alex King's.
In the stands the audience was not much, but when they saw a young man with a delicate build, wearing a mask covering most of his face, they could not help but laugh out loud.
It seemed to them a joke that a young man who at first glance looked so ordinary, dared to fight against one of the men of the arena, even many thought that the mask was to avoid embarrassment when he was defeated in the arena.
When the host announced to the fighters, he only said Alex King's last name, this was at Alex's request. He knew the Robinson family was deliberately making things difficult for him.
So he decided to keep his identity hidden in the arena, because even though the Robinson family did not have the power to influence the Wu family's business, who knows how far they would go to prevent him from making money in the arena?
