"I think you should make things easier for him"..... Azai said to Quilan.
"Easier",.... he asked looking confused.
"A group of men should be brought for him to select".... he was exact.
"Or we could just send him some pictures".
"They're physique and abilities need to be identified by him, I know the kind of people you've chosen to fight against him".
"Fine, I guess I could cheat a little for him".... Quilan agreed.
Azai ordered some men to be sent.
....
Alvah was resting in the bedroom assigned to him when he heard a knock on his door.
He opened up to see the fat man from the arena.
"Prince Azai had ordered some people whom you would select from, they would be here In about an hour.
I wouldn't come to call you so I'm letting you know when they would arrive".
He left the room
Meanwhile, the men were already present.
Quilan had sent for another group of men who would work with Alvah. The men whom azai had sent for came a while ago and had left.
Alvah came out one hour later. As told, the men were already waiting.
Alvah was speechless, from their looks you would know that they are uncivilized. Alvah thought to still work with them at least their barbaric attitude might be helpful.
They were a total of ten men in his sight.
He looked at the man who had brought them.
"Be quick I still have to return this fools".
"Watch it!"..., one of the men said to him.
"Why are we here?".... the heaviest of them asked.
*I'm in need of four men.... Alvah replied.
I doubt because you're the heaviest, you're the strongest".
They all laughed at Alvah.
"Look at this man". he said still chuckling and suddenly became serious.
"Do you underestimate me just because of my figure. I wouldn't do that if I were you".
"Warn him"... a voice spoke.
When Alvah looked in the direction where the voice was coming from, it was the fat man.
He quickly looked away, turning back, he looked at the men.
"What's the reward?".... the heavy man asked the fat man.
"A female"..., he replied simply.
Alvah looked at the man beside him.
The fat man didn't bother looking at Alvah but shifted away from him.
Alvah followed his movement with his eyes.
"How pretty is she?"...., a very skinny one asked.
"Oh, so pretty... he replied him.
Guess what",... they were all listening to what he had to say.
"No one said anything about taking her away from you once she's yours, you will dream a good dream with her in your arms"
.... he Chuckled darkly.
Alvah hated this conversation, "how many do I have?"....
They all raised their arm except the very skinny one.
"You act like the leader among us. The reward is ours to share not yours to keep".
Alvah didn't bother arguing knowing that definitely he will eventually get out of here with her.
"You know what"...
the heavy man picked out four other men and exclaimed...
"oops, I'm sorry, Looks like we're almost complete, don't forget I'm included".
That makes up five already. Alvah looked at the fat man.
"Boss never said you had to be included".
Alvah walked away from there expressionlessly.
The next day, Azai, Zillah, Quilan and Xia were already at the arena.
Alvah walked in alone. Quilan was joyful inside of him.
"Where's your team?"...., he asked, like he cared.
"I haven't met them"... alvah replied.
Everyone was in shock.
"What do you mean by haven't met them. I clearly ordered a group of men to team up with you, I was even told they had arrived".
The fat man ran inside,
"Boss, boss, I apologize. The men whom you sent were all murdered yesterday".
Azai and Quilan stood up in unison.
"What do you mean murdered?"... Azai asked.
"I can't put this in words boss".... he said with his head glued to the ground.
Quilan looked at Alvah. He already suspects him
"You aren't bothered at all, you really want to die".
Alvah looked at him confused.
"Don't act like you don't know about the murder and that you are the murderer".
He didn't deny it anymore,
"You mock me by sending me losers to team up with. They don't match my rank.
"You think you're so tough Alvah".... he glared at him.
Alvah didn't respond.
"Let the match begin"..., he said softly.
Azai knew well that the kind of people he sent to work with Alvah aren't as useless as what Alvah is saying.
Quilan has something to do with this, he concluded looking at him.
Zillah didn't worry too much as she knows that clearly Alvah's powers are intact unlike hers.
Smoke filled the arena and from a pathway a huge and tall man walked through the smoke.
People weren't invited for this match, it was private.
The man came in sight, Alvah looked up because the man was taller than him.
He walked closer to Alvah, covering up the space between the both of them.
Alvah walked backward creating an even way bigger space.
The man chuckled, Alvah didn't.
Zillah trembled at what she saw. She looked at Quilan, he didn't spare a glance at her, smiling at how Alvah would be crushed to pieces, as he had already fantasized it.
"Begin"... he said
The man with speed races towards Alvah.
Of such structure yet he's quite fast. I wouldn't expose my powers or teleportation....
Alvah said to himself.
He threw a fist at Alvah. Alvah leaned his body to the left, dodging the fist. Aiming for his abdomen, Alvah hit him there.
Turns out he didn't feel anything.
Zillah widened her eyes in shock.
Alvah ran ahead, at the man's back, he sent his chains rounding his waist.
He pulled him. It didn't budge
Alvah literally stood looking at the man with a furrowed brow.
The man turned to face Alvah, smirking at him.
With Alvah's speed, he ran to the man, the man saw none of this. Wondering where Alvah was, Alvah appeared in his sight, with a fist wrapped with chains he aimed for his cheek.
Alvah landed it in his face, the man fell to the ground. Alvah jumped back, still keeping a safe distance.
He released the chain from his hand.
When he stood up, he stood up laughing and so was Quilan.
Alvah had it. With his two hands, he sent his chains straight for his arms. He wrapped it tightly.
The man looked ahead wondering what Alvah was planning.
After chaining him tightly, Alvah spreaded his arms causing the chains which wrapped the man's hands to separate, pulling the man's arms away from his body.
Quilan's smile faded drastically.
The man felt his ligaments tearing. He held onto the chains and pulled himself causing Alvah's side extended arms to close in.
Alvah widened it, the man's bones began to break, the man yelled in pain.
Everyone stood up, is he going to tear him in two.
The man suddenly stopped shouting.
What's wrong, Azai thought.
Alvah's arm closed in, he was shocked.
The man pulled in the chains, he raised it up fling Alvah, but Alvah let go.
Alvah thought to himself,
I see, he possesses strength, which means he is to exhaust me before I get to the others.
But that doesn't mean the others are useless.
"Wait!, How are we supposed to win?"...,
Alvah asked.
"Don't let your back touch the ground".... Quilan answered.
That's to his advantage, he knows clearly that he possesses strength, which means, his energy is focused in his foot and hand, creating a definite balance.
His hands are for attacking which means his feet would be more concentrated on.
The only way is his foot. I have to make him lose balance.
Alvah said to himself.
