Chapter 426 - Winner

Daedalus stood in front of a large curtain, behind the curtain was a crowd of two thousand people. Daedalus knew he would be called soon but he was confident, and proud.

Daedalus had seen his competitors, they where big, yes, they looked like Greek statues, yes. But Daedalus looked like the essence of what those statues couldn't contain. His muscles rippled visibly to their eyes, he looked like a god in every way they could imagine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After ten more minutes of standing Daedalus heard his name. Walking past the curtains Daedalus saw people gasp in shock. It wasn't surprising, he was tall, not to mention intimidating with his muscles. Andromeda was in the back of the crowd grinning.

Walking to the center of the stage Daedalus stood there, his body relaxed. Then he did his poses each one bringing awe to those who watched. When he was done Daedalus stood there and said nothing. The crowd had gone silent and the judges mouths where wide open.

Daedalus nodded his head and walked back behind the curtains, only as he disappeared did the applause begin.

Daedalus had won the competition hands down and the media had immediately blown up talking about him. With how popular and well known he and Andromeda where before hand people instantly recognised him, not to mention how unique his name was.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week had passed since the competition, Daedalus had decided to take a break from the whole body building thing after a group of reporters had broken into the boat when him and Andromeda where away. Of course the reporters had been caught when they put a few images out into the world.

When Daedalus found out he had been furious, it was only because they where in a more civil land that Daedalus hadn't slaughtered them. In the end Daedalus had used everything he could to have them thrown into prison for several years. The final amount of time being served ended up as three years.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turning on his phone Daedalus checked the time. It was eight in the morning. As he had stopped his body building for the time being Daedalus had started waking up later than usual.

Getting up Daedalus stood and walked to the bathroom. Though he had stopped working out as hard as in the past, Daedalus body was still as nice as it was during the competition. Tom had said only that he had never seen someone keep their gains after the competition, at least for that long.

At this point even Daedalus was confused, and and only kept pushing his body further. He had long increased the number of formations binding his body, but his strength only seemed to increase. If he was right, his body was adapting to the formations and simply going ignoring the affects of them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andromeda was currently at her usual morning coffee shop. She came here most mornings to get a drink before heading to the gym or her and Daedalus' store. On this particular day, a young man approached her.

In her mind Andromeda sighed, she had seen the look on his face before. She didn't even bother to move as he walked over. Sitting across from her he said "Hey, you come here often?"

Andromeda nodded and said "Yes, but usually my husband comes with me."

Saying that she stood up and went to the front, a barista had called her name. Thanking the girl for the drink Andromeda returned to her seat and found that the boy was still there. Grabbing her stuff, she left and ignored him as he kept flirting with her.
