It only took a few seconds before the newly cleaned play area got littered with whatever the audience was holding. And for some reason, I even got pelted with a pineapple, a watermelon, a coconut, and several fruits so I had to leave the scene while making a fruit platter.
That elicited more people to throw fruit in my direction but no one—aside from the first few sneak attacks—managed to reach my body.
I didn't even look back at the dumbass who challenged me to a fight but he looked like one of those "modern" paintings that would fetch a million dollars when he came back on his spot.
With that said, the items he wagered easily fell on my lap though I quickly threw the phone that had all his girl's nudes and their videos in a random direction. To my surprise, some people fought for them because his girl was actually decent. Well, I have someone that could be called more than decent and I don't want the image of another man's dick ingrained in my memory for the foreseeable future.
Once things calmed down, Mr. Cuervo spoke into his mic to announce the next fight.
[Alright... The next fight will be between— Hmm? Jericho and Enrique... Enrique is the challenger and—]
Mr. Cuervo wasn't even done speaking when Enrique cut him off. Furthermore, he seemed to have managed to acquire a mic of his own and he started shouting at the top of his lungs.
[COME OUT HERE, YOU PSYCHO! I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A FEW ONE-TWOS FOR THE THINGS YOU PUT ME THROUGH! I'M GONNA—]
Then a familiar voice came from nowhere.
[Nope. You still owe me, lab rat.]
[YOU—]
[And the fight's declined! Settle down, Enrique! I said you got declined! *clears throat* Alright, for the next one... Oh~ This is gonna be spicy~ Hah! Kaley Ishiyama is challenged by Elena Cristobal... Elena, where are you so my attendants can approach you? Here we go~ Play nice, eh?]
Once again, Mr. Cuervo's gaze landed in my direction but like Kaley, I was confused as fuck as to why Elena challenged her. I was 100% that they had no grievances with each other and if there was one person to challenge, Tatiana would be that person since something already happened between the two and it could be just a form of payback.
'I guess we'll see why.'
It didn't take long before their faces were on the huge screen and it felt like the two were talking face to face even though they were so far from each other.
It's just that Benjie never looked so bored.
The moment 420 grabbed onto his collar, Benjie's nails just dug into his forearms, making long and crooked lacerations through his wrists, making him bleed profusely. His face just contorted from the pain but he didn't fucking let go. He just gritted his teeth as he tried to push Benjie down with his weight but his eyes just widened when he saw his elbows bending the opposite way.
It only took a second but everyone watching the fight saw Benjie grabbing his wrist tightly before sending a knee from an impossible angle, snapping his elbow and making it bend horribly.
The weight 420 used just backfired on himself because all it did was make his injury worse.
He tried to do the same opening with his other arm but Benjie had already taken control of the situation.
Benjie was this fucking close to poking his eye out but that was when a bullet whizzed past his face that made him stop. All of a sudden, his face contorted to controlled rage but the shot was actually fired by one of Mr. Cuervo's security guards.
It was actually a signal to stop the fight because the De Leon Family threw the towel.
Since their fight wasn't to the death, these forfeits were available and if Benjie tried to do something funny, he would be instantly excommunicated.
He could only shake his head as the medical crew took 420 away and he was rolling his eyes when Dave came into his view. He looked even more disinterested when he laid his eyes on his new opponent and he even looked away when Dave opened up with a simple jab.
His bloody nails were already coming for Dave's arm but he never looked so confused when he was airborne and upside down.
'Nani the fuck?'
Benjie had just started falling from getting flipped in the air with a sudden sweep when Dave's heel made contact with his abdomen. He easily flew several feet away but Dave wasn't happy one bit.
Almost everyone thought it was a direct and clean hit but right now, Dave's ankle was bleeding.
The motherfucker managed to receive the blow and lessen the damage while inflicting some on his opponent while caught off-guard. Only a few people saw what actually happened and confused cheers just followed when they saw the state of Dave's foot. However, Dave suddenly kicked up some dirt to blind Benjie and it came with a few droplets of blood from his injured ankle.
Everything happened while Benjie was still in the process of getting up and to everyone's surprise—especially me, Dave actually kicked off his shoe and it was already making its way to its target.
