His heart beat loud in his heart. 'Maybe I should fall unconscious again ' he thought to himself other than that he couldn't find any way out. The room has only two lights. He couldn't differentiate if it was day or night. James was sure he slept for long. Then he realized he was lying on the floor. They didn't even give him a bed.
" Are you from Knights? " James flinched slightly at that voice. " You are, right? You must be trapped after escaping through the backdoor." Antony said as he stood in front of him. " Let's brother decide what should we do about you and why I never noticed especially with that face," He said, kneeling in front of him.
James lowers his head. He could hear his heartbeat he was terrified to the end.
" Boss, He's here in the base. " Someone said. Everyone turned to look at the person mentioned as boss. Arrow and his right-hand man come down the stairs. Arrow had his white hair tied to the back of his head. He had a white tee shirt and black jeans wearing. He looked extremely handsome with his pointed jaw and blue eyes. But to James, that person looked very dangerous.
Antony yanked James up clutching his hand. Arrow came to the front and gave a glance toward the room. Then his eyes spotted James who trying hard to get away from Antony's hold.
Arrow motioned his brother to leave him and Antony did as he said. James stepped back and stood far from Antony. Antony walked towards his brother and whispered something in his ear. Arrow checked James for a second, then he pulled a chair and sat crossing his legs.
" Did you see my Gangs behind me? " Arrow asked pointing his finger at the gang. James met his eyes and then looked behind to see the members giving him a nasty glare. James nodded his head " Yes ".
" Good. You choose one person from them to fight. If you win I will let you go " Arrow says calmly and collectively. James felt his whole world collapsed. He observed each eagle member they all looked stronger and bigger than him. But except for one guy who looked like a school student he is shorter than James. What is he doing here? James thought.
He didn't have another option so he pointed his finger at the smaller guy. Everyone looked at him as They all had " Really ?" expressions on their face. Arrow was silent, he nodded his head in agreement. Suddenly the members started whispering between them. " David is just a kid He can't fight him " Arrow's right-hand man came forward and said worriedly looking at the guy.
" He is not a kid He is already an adult, that is why he is here. If he doesn't want to fight he can leave right now " Antony says as his eyes meet with the members, They all become silent.
James and David stood against each other. And the members gathered around them. James was scared but still, he tried not to show his weakness towards him. But his opponent's energy made him feel so small, that David jumped up and down on the floor. Antony took his gun out. " You start when I shoot. No rules just fighting, in the end, whoever still stands on their feet will win. You can give up any time but the other party will be announced as the winner ".
Everyone waited for the gunshot.
Antony fired the gun which scared James as he trembled a little in the sound. David tried to punch James but he dodged. They both are bad at fighting David is very active but his brain is not working as he looks like a predictor. He wants victory he doesn't care if James dies or not. He held James from behind. His hold tightened around James' stomach. He tried to wiggle out but he couldn't. He could hear the members cheering for David. James had tears on his cheeks he looked devastated as he started to cry lowering his head. " Stop " Everyone turned to look towards Arrow. He was watching James who crying on the floor clutching his head.
" You can't even fight a newbie, what kind of people is Alexander choosing?" Arrow asked as he walked towards James.
" Did anyone record the fight just now ?" He asked.
" I have sir " One of the members yelled from behind. He nodded his head in satisfaction and a smirk played on that face.
" I going to send this video to your boss " James suddenly stood, looking at Arrow he looked restless. He had a pleading expression on his face. " Please don't send. He will kill me and my family. If he knew I can't fight. My family is very poor i have no money to study that is why I lied and became a member." James blurted out in one breath. Arrow looked at him unfazed. " Okay fine but I will keep this video. Antony drops him to his house." Arrow ordered. All the eagles turned to look at their boss unbelievably.
" Are you sure, he didn't win though ?" Antony asked seeing his brother's sudden decision. He had doubts about his brother's change. Arrow didn't answer as he took a mobile phone from Antony's pocket.
" This is his, right? "
Antony nodded his head. Arrow dialed the number on James's phone " When I will call you? Take it " He said looking at James who looked back at him terrified. Seeing his response Arrow smiled and walked away.
