Chapter 4 - Blood, Fear and Sweat

The next morning Bane and Orubus woke up and they both looked at their surroundings in fear and they froze when they saw Adonis empty face. "You both slept for so long that I thought I might have killed you both" Adonis said and Orubus and Bane felt a cold chill in their spine

"Boss, we meant no harm towards you or Pam" Bane said displaying all his teeth "From what I saw yesterday, you are not capable of harming me even of you want to do so and you did try harming me" Adonis said as his blue even glowed a little and Bane shivered in fear, Adonis just kept staring at him with intensity. "Boss don't you want to know more about the families, we can tell you all about it" Orubus said trying to get on Adonis good side

"I have been here for a long time, far longer than anyone here, I can tell you all about it" Bane hurriedly said trying to prove his usefulness "Tell me about the Tournament House" Adonis said his eyes shining in curiosity for the first time "The Tournament House is a place that houses all criminals and offenders of the main families, I would like for boss to tell me who he offended" Bane said with a toothy smile

"I offended a man named Ashburn, he said if I could win 5 consecutive matches he would agree to train me" Adonis said nonchalantly "Wait you offended Sir Ashburn of the Necron family" Bane said with widened eyes "I did" Adonis said and Bane looked at him surprised "You are the first person who would offend Sir Ashburn and survive and he even said he would train you if you have 5 consecutive victory" Orubus said amazed "I don't think Sir Ashburn intends on training you" Bane said and with a solemn face this time around

"Why do you say so" Adonis asked and Bane took a deep breath before he began his explanation "If he wanted you to win he would have placed you in a team with at least one city level powerhouse but instead he placed you a cave level powerhouse with us a team of village level powerhouse who loss every match they fight" Bane said and adonos appeared lost

"What is a pwerhouse" Adonis asked and Bane facepalmed himself "Where on khthonia did you come from, exactly" Bane asked "What did you say" Adonis asked and Bane cowered in fear "Boss powerhouse are the ranks which one belongs to the higher the rank the stronger the powerhouse we have the Cave level, the Mountain level, the village level, the town level, the city level, the state level, the national level, the continental level, the planet level and the Galactic level which is still nothing but a myth" Bane said a Adonis wore a face showcasing realization

"So what level is Sir Ashburn exactly" Adonis asked and Bane shooked his head "No one knows Sir Ashburn's exact level but everyone says he is half way to the planet level" Bane said and Adonis nodded "If that's right then, his test is understandable" Adonis said "Huh" everyone in the room said shocked as the looked at Adonis surprised. Adonis stood up and looked at everyone i n the room "If you were to rank my level now what will it be" Adonis asked Bane and Bane scratched his head "I already said it before, you are a cave level....." Bane stopped his words as his eyes opened in immerse shock "What is anything wrong, he was cave level yesterday right" Orubus said

"He's at the mountain level already" Bane said as his eyes twitches, Bane kept staring at Adonis shocked "I don't think he has advanced" Orubus said and they all turned their head towards him "What do you mean by that Orubus " You know that people level up based on the strength of their abilities right" Orubus said and they all nodded except Adonis "Isn't his ability same as that of all other Pynn family member" Marcus said "I don't think so" Bane said "Why do you say so" Chi's asked and just as Bane opened his mouth to answer they heard a knock on their door

"Losers team, its time for your match" The Guard outside said and him as his companions busted into a fit of laughter "The name fits them well, far better than the Dragons they named themselves" Another guard said laughing, Orubus face contorted as anger bellowed in him "Let's go" Adonis said as he opened the door and he stepped out of the room for the first time and he felt amazement for the first time. There where countless rooms that formed a circle. The rooms were staked up on top of each other all up to 6 floors.

"It doesn't matter how many times I see this place it still amazes me" Chris said finally getting out of his depressed self for the first time "Give me a blade Marcus" Adonis said and everyone turned to him confused again "What type of blade" Marcus asked with uncertainty "The type you make best in quality but make sure it isn't wider than my three fingers also make the sharp sides as thin as possible so it can slice through a person easily" Adonis said and Marcus scratched his head for a while

"Is anything the problem" Adonis asked "Yes, the problem is a teenager is speaking of slicing a person without any change in expression" Chris said and Adonis stared at him "What, stop staring at me. I'm not into men" Chris said hugging himself "What makes you think I'm a teenager, looks can be deceiving you know" Adonis said and they all just scoffed at his words "Only a teenager who hasn't seen the world yet will care about something similar to what happened yesterday" Bane said and Adonis turned to him as his eyes glowed a bit "I meant no harm boss" Bane said in fear

"What exactly was the problem with Marcus helping me create a blade" Adonis asked irritated with furrowed eyebrows "The problem is Marcus can create any type of blade from thin air in less than seconds but to create one with such specifics as your he would need a minute which would be enough for us to have our necks broken by the team we are about to face called the Fallen Glory" Bane said in a rush and immidietlya team of four appeared in front of them

"One of them is from the Dura family a branch of the Aquila family which specialize at shield creation, another is from the Talon family a branch of the Aeropex family that specializes in aerodynamic enhancement which boosts their team mates speed and the third member of this team comes from the Helix family which is a branch of the solaria family and the last member of this team is a member of the Cybro family. Let's call him the hulk of the team. This team is perfectly rounded without any flaws" Bane said and they heard a laugh from the other side of the Arena

"I didn't know you could compliment people this much Bane" the laughing woman said and Bane got a good look at her face as she got closer "I didn't know I'll find you in the fallen glory team Isabella" Bane said with a frown "You know her Bane?" Adonis asked "Of course I do" Bane said
