Chereads / Rise Of The Curse Lord / Chapter 15 - The Secret Event

Chapter 15 - The Secret Event

One month had passed since Conan has been training Ben, Ben had lost so much weight that he could not believe himself.

" I lost 3 Kg, I lost 3 Kg!" Ben cheered while both Conan and Yelena looked a little disappointed, Yelena clapped sharing Ben's enthusiasm to cheer him.

" Only this much, how much was it before," Conan asked out of curiosity

" it was ninety and now it's almost eighty-seven," Ben told him.

" That's still too much considering you have a lot of fat to burn."

" How much is yours?" Ben asked pointing a finger at him.

Conan stepped on the weight machine and it showed seventy-four kg, making Ben fill with hope.

" Mine's the weight of muscles," Conan smirked.

" It's amazing, at least it's an improvement, I think your body will quickly adapt to it," Yelena said while eating a pastry from his uncle's shop.

" By the way, I had something I needed to ask, you guys do never run, exercise or eat like me. How come you never get fat or weaker?" Ben questioned.

" Well, after I gained the light, I never needed to maintain myself, I can only improve."

" Really, Can I get it at one point?" Ben asked.

" Sure, You can become a warrior of light if you want, it's pretty easy if you master combat skills and become a devout follower of the god of light."

" Conan, do you also have the light?" Ben asked, it was something even Yelena was curious about.

" No I don't, There are other ways one can stay strong, you may not see it but I am always training myself by controlling the flow of internal and external energies."

" Conan, You should not joke, that is a technique only a very few people know." Yelena's mouth was open and her eyes widen in shock.

" I don't lie," Conan said as he got up and went to the punching bag hanging in the gym that had been prepared for Ben in his house.

Conan focused his punch and with a stable posture punched without using much of his strength, it was like he wasn't even trying. However, as soon as the punch connected with the Bag a loud bang was heard in the gym and a tiny hole appeared on the bag making the sand come out.

' It's Real! Yelena, what have you been doing? you should have asked about this before, it's not too late.' Yelena thought to herself.

The next second Yelena sat on her knees and bowed before Conan.

" Please teach me."

" Heh! I knew this would happen." Conan had a smug look on his face.

" Hey, dude, you don't have to be a jerk to her," Ben said and soft punched Conan on the back.

" Please, I have to, I need to get stronger, this is the only way," Yelena said.

" Fine, but you just have four months, because after that I will leave the city. If you guys are unable to learn it then it's your fault."

' He still doesn't have any intention of taking us with him,' Ben thought.

" We will start this tomorrow, remember we have to go to the secret event."

" I am prepared," Ben replied.

" Is it important to go there? You know if we get caught there is no hope for us to get a travel license."

" What are you exactly looking for?" Ben asked. " You didn't tell me last time either."

" This was the main reason I came to this city in the first place, you just make sure to get us an entry." Conan replied to Ben then he spoke to Yelena, " You don't need to come."

" What does that mean? I thought we became friends"

" Ms Yelena, it's a dangerous place for ladies."

" Then I will just dress like a Man," Yelena said. " You guys stay here, I will come back in a few minutes." She said quickly and went out of the house.

They came to a place with only dim red and blue lights for the audience to sit, where only the stage had clear light. Conan Ben and Yelena walked to their seats and sat down.

" So it's an Auction type of thing but not an auction either, just what was happening the City R I never knew about this ever," Yelena said and then added, " By the way how is my get up,"

" It's cruelty towards my eyes seeing it flat?" Ben complained, " But how can it become so flat?" Ben was taking while looking at Yelena's chest.

" Stop it, Ben, tell me what's the list of Auctioned items here," Conan asked and was not bothered by how Yelena looked.

" Here see this?" Ben showed them the things on his laptop. " I just received an email from them."

' It's here today, I will finally get my hands on this.'

" Is the thing you are looking for here? Tell me, I will register your entry." Ben asked.

" Do you have to entry fees?" Ben asked, " I have some that I received in my bank account, from dad so I could lend you." Ben wasn't so sure whether the person sending money was his father so he slightly hesitated in saying that.

" What? What kind of entry fees are that? I know the true value of these things, the entry fee is almost half of what the actual price of the good is."

" I will make the payment, enter me in all of the competitions."

" Are you sure?" Ben was shocked, ' does he have that much money on himself?'

However Yelena had different thoughts, ' One of these things is important to him? He wants to hide it from me and Ben. Maybe because now he knows that I am connected to TGAE, I want to win his trust and make him an ally to fight beside me but things are not going the way I want, once again.'

' I will make sure Conan trusts me after today, if it's him I have as an ally then there might be a chance to escape the clutches of my family.'
