ALEX'S POV
breathing smoke out of his mouth,his lips open up,"HUFFF...LET'S MAKE A BET~".
who is he?...he looks the same age as mine.he doesn't look like he belongs to the arena.
his brown eyes under his black disheveled hairs don't have any emotions.even the air around him feels like walking on ice.
why?
pulling out toothpick,"what bet?"
he is the first man who is putting bet here.
until now it was always i who put bet.
but how interesting?
he wants to put bet ..first?,chuckle left my mouth,"hahaha"
then,it must be his first day here that's why he have so much confidence.
"if you lose then you will work for me!",he said and i stop laughing.
how dare he try to put a bet like this?
does he know who is in front of him?
or is he intentionally putting this bet even after knowing who i m?..,my brow raised at him.
without a word,he back off,doused his cigarette and pulled out his shirt, throwing it behind me.
peeking at my back,there is a man who looks like his accomplice.
i stood up,referee back off and bell rang,
"TING TING TING"
but,i didn't move and the same goes with him.if it was his first time then he would have been excited to fight but look at this guy~
he is standing lazily!
"and what if i win?",i asked him back.
but, he smirk and gaze at me coldly,how arrogant?
you are so full of confidence huh~
i will crush that confidence of yours!
"hahaha~",haha ...i want to see his face after getting defeated.
let's take it slow~...let's play~
thinking about playing i lunge at him,with a simple punch.
he didn't move but just tilted aside and smack my fist aside lazily.
my lip twitch,such an arrogance huh?
pulling my leg up,i targeted his waist to kick,
"smack"
!!
he just lazily smack my leg with his own?
this is more interesting ~
again pulling my one leg up,i flip in air aiming his shoulder with my another leg,when,i caught him moving forward and aiming to punch my stomach.clenching my stomach i increase my speed ,but suddenly his stance changed and pulling his fist back he pull his another hand and landed a punch on my chest while pulling himself away from my kick successfully.
i landed back on my feet and he took a step back.
staring into his eyes which are now slightly curled.i can feel him mocking me inside his mind.
my anger rose,you want to play ?..ok!..let's play..
pulling my finger,i gesture him to move first.
cheers rang more, without wasting a second he flipped horizontally pulling his leg to kick.
without moving,i tilt aside and pull my leg up and fold it tightly around his ankle,making him land beside me on his another leg.
now you are trapped,
pulling my elbow up i intended to hit his knee with it.a knee fracture will give you a good lesson.
getting my intentions, he slightly pull down, i felt my grip losing, i was about to react when he jump up forcefully,freeing himself,then use the force of his palm on my chest to jump more up in the air again,
his moves, so fast and sharp that i got daze while looking at him flying above myself,how can someone be so perfect, that's when his cold eyes came into my view,they look merciless.
shit.....backing off at a time i avoided his hit which now landed on floor,"thwack"
jumping back on feet,he smirk at me,my brow twitch as the audience got thrill.
pulling his hand he gestured to me like he is saying that now it's my turn,
gazing at the audience who are now also cheering him up,i wasn't able to hold my laugh and laugh out hard at them..it's thrilling isn't it??
then i will show you the thrilling blood,lunging at him, turning around i swing the back of my elbow aiming his face from aside.
he simply smack my elbow without even looking at me and hit me with his palm on my waist,
"huek",it feels like a big needle is pierced into me and again pulled out.
i back off, touching my waist where he landed his hit.
let's finish this,without a second i pull my leg , jump up in air then aim his face with my knees,pulling his hand up he use my knee force and jumps a step back.
without wasting a second,i grab his head in my both palms, trying to use this force to hit his head with mine.
"argggg",screams move out of my throat as i m about to win.
when his both palms hit my elbows then he pull them inside entangling his hand with mine locking us.
"!",using my jump force he turned aside and landed me against the pole of one corner.
"urggg",hit was strong.standing back up,i lunge at him to punch,but he just tilted and landed his lunch under my chin lazily.
"heuk",i m sure that he has just lazily swinged his fist but the force is so strong that my chin and jaw jerk up,blood splurt out in the air from my nose and mouth and i fell back on my back.
"(groan)...urg",my whole mouth is tasting the metallic taste of blood,
"cough...ha..ha",it's even choking me...
"..hahahah..",this is the first time i'm getting defeated this easily.putting my both arms on both sides i relaxed back.
and caught him coming into my view.looking up at him,i laugh at him as his both brow raised at me.
"you win boss...hahaha",i m sure this man will become so successful in the future.
being under him will just benefits me.

LATENTEREY'S POV
he looks happy,i nodd while looking at him laying on the ground and laughing hard, then peek aside.
The whole audience is cheering us,referee came and asked my name,"Rey",i said.
pulling my hand up,he declared,"ladies and gentle men so the winner is rey...who defeated our arena demon snatching his 'undefeatable' title"
The crowd cheered up,I moved and sit on my toes near Alex who was laying on the ground.
pointing at grey who came inside to hand me back my tshirt i said,"he will contact you..."
alex nodded,and we both moved out of the ring.
i turned to exit but halt looking at a familiar woman standing beside the door leaning her back on wall while smoking.
she gaze at both of us,"isn't she Rooney?",grey reminded me.
i nodd and ignored her making my way out,but getting her gazes we halt and my head turned aside at her.
"i too want to work for you",she said.
grey frown,"what?"
peeking at him she look back at me,"why?",i asked her.
peeking at the arena ring she looked at me again and her mouth opened up.
"i know you work under stephen"
she knew?,my brow raised at her,"so?"
"I.WANT.SIMON",she said her tone threatening.
Simon?...i tilt my head aside,"why?...we are working for him and not against him"
smirk form on her face,"heh~you think i will believe that the one who defeated alex so easily will work under stephen?"
she is smart~
"i want Simon and having a woman under yourself will only benefit you Rey",she said.
she is right!...even though i will stay with June maximum time, my darling still needs a guard and Rooney will be perfect for that role.
"ok",i nodd.

(NIGHT)
sighing i moved back inside our house,i ordered grey to move back here after doing our work from the arena.
turning towards the kitchen and pulling out vegetables ,i began to cook.
but,he messaged me that she haven't taken a single bite of food from the morning.
after sometime,removing my disguise i walk inside my room.as soon as door is open i caught her.
she is laying on bed on side with her eyes and nose in the shade red clearly indicating that she cried the whole day and decided to go on hunger strike.
her eyes turn to me and she sit back on bed curling her knees near the chest like a terrified bunny.
putting a tray of food aside i sat next to her,
"w..what do you want?",she asked in a weak voice.
pulling a glass of water,i pulled it to her lips,"here"
her eyes snap at my hand holding glass and push it aside lightly.
"you need to eat...June!"
"just lemme go!",she said.
again?...why are you so hellbent to this?my anger rose but i suppressed it back.
"No?",i said sternly.
"stephen will kill you Rey",she said trying to convince me.
"he can't",i shook my head at her.
"how can you be so sure?"
"he is just a weakling who depends on his men and money"
"i don't care!",she declared.
"i want to go back or i won't eat anything?"
do you want me to mouth feed you then?...i wanted to say but this will only push her away from me more.
"he don't deserve you darling...you are in this condition because of him?"
her head whack at me,"don't lie ...he always helps me!"
