Chapter 57: Accepting a great challenge

"Sure, accepted," Arnold gave a quick reply boldly with a sudden change of reaction in his face.His once-confused face contrasted with a smile, revealing his acceptance of the challenge.

But before Arnold replied to the Alpha Champion, he had pondered for a moment.

"Why would he want to face me for my low-level title and put his on the line as well?" Arnold had asked himself in a mutter. But there was no one to respond.

Although he was bold and calm on the outside, he was troubled deep within.

'If I would really face Tristan Black, then that would be the toughest match of my career.'

It was certain... A Winner Takes All Match was more like a wrestler's last step to superiority. If Arnold becomes the Grindhouse Omega and Alpha, he would literally be regarded as the champion of the Grindhouse Wrestling Show.

'You are thinking too far, Arnold. Stop it!' Arnold forced his brain to keep a calm.

While there were uncertainties, he found himself being happy. Not all top champions could just grant a low-level champion such an opportunity. Although Arnold's title would be on the line as well, what is an Omega Championship Title if compared to an Alpha?

Tristan Black was brave. He is indeed a fighting champion as everyone had said.

'Someone like him would always deserve the spotlight.'

Arnold stared at him for a moment and lamented inwardly.

Tristan already withdrew his attention from Arnold just as the first battle royal match began. Arnold, as well, glanced at the ring a hint of excitement on his face.

In the ring were different men of different figures, all possessing vibrant eyes, ready to fight their way to victory. Observing around for a while, Arnold spotted several familiar faces in the ring, including his friend, Mark.

Landon Bishop and Thane Ryder could also be seen, however, what actually made the battle more interesting was the presence of Jerry Blaze.

Arnold smiled upon seeing him. Remembering their match at Seige, he couldn't help but praise this man in his heart.

'He is such a fighter. I barely managed to beat him.'

The fact that he had seen Jerry Blaze made him root for the former Grindhouse Omega champion. Truth be told, it wasn't as if he wasn't supporting Mark, well, he only hoped that Mark wouldn't have a fight with Jerry Blaze.

If a stronger opponent than Mark (Bobby Crimson) manages to eliminate Jerry, then that would be better. Or even if Mark would have to face him, it should be at a crucial point where he could easily get eliminated.

By experience, he knew really well that Bobby Crimson couldn't gain the upper hand in a conflict with Jerry Blaze.

When the bell rang, the match began. Immediately, the loud chaotic sounds echoed repeatedly in the ring. Boom after boom, bang after bang, the beginning of the showdown was giving a lot of interest.

From time to time, Arnold would observe Bobby Crimson, then switch his gaze to Jerry Blaze. He occasionally spared Thane Ryder a short glance hoping that he could get into a fight with Bobby.

Today, Arnold only hoped that Bobby Crimson could teach Thane a lesson, perhaps personally eliminating him from the match to add more shame.

However, it unfortunately turned out that Thane was in a different corner entirely from Bobby Crimson. Ignoring those hopes, he continued observing.

It was five minutes since the match began, yet eight competitors had been eliminated. Five of them were eliminated by Jerry Blaze, making him the main talk of the match. Arnold expected as much... If Jerry had the chance and energy, eliminating everyone wouldn't be much of a problem at all.

Arnold's eyes suddenly lit up when he noticed Bobby Crimson now facing Landon Bishop. Both of these men were fighters with remarkable strength... However, Arnold didn't believe Bobby Crimson could out-power Landon.

Landon Bishop had more experience than Bobby, one could even notice it from his fighting passion and move. While Bobby had quite good skills, Landon's intelligence was top-notch.

...

They began an exchange of punches at first before Landon pushed Bobby backward, however, Bobby charged at him again, delivering a clothesline this time.

Falling to the mat, Landon didn't want to stay down. There were too many people in the ring, revealing the possibility of a lot of danger if he stayed down.

Just a single stump was able to cause him crucial pain.

The moment he stood up, Bobby Crimson was already waiting behind him without his realization. Grabbing his neck as though trying to choke him, Bobby dragged Landon and pulled him to the ropes, throwing him through the top rope right after.

However, unfortunately, Landon was just too sensible to be eliminated that easily. Before he could fall to the outside, he quickly held tight to the top rope with all his might, gasping for air.

Bobby didn't seem to have been astonished after that move from Landon. Instead, he smiled a approached the clever man who was looking like someone in his late 30s.

The fact that Bobby barely thinks wide before any action causes him a slight misfortune. Just as he got too close to Landon who was handing in the around the ropes, an arm suddenly grabbed his head and slammed it against the top rope, causing Bobby so much pain.

Landon Bishop quickly made use of that opportunity, attempting to get back into the ring. However, didn't know that Bobby had an intense plan despite his cunning attack on him.

Raged, Bobby moved a step backward and thrust his right against Landon's cheek, delivering a superkick!

At that instant, Landon felt like his eyes were blown off, falling like a tree from the side of the ring to the floor at ringside.

While Bobby celebrated his win, facing directly to Landon outside the ring, unfortunately, a strong arm came from behind, pushing him with great force out of the ring.

Bobby Crimson miserably fell out of the ring, plunging into the thick floor outside, a grim, frustrated look on his face.

Tragically, while he celebrated his little achievement, mindless of the fact that this was a Battle Royal Match, he got eliminated by his greatest enemy, Thane Ryder.

...

Arnold who was watching calmly and enjoying the way his friend fought, suddenly had a dark look on his face, seeing Bobby Crimson lying outside the ring shamefully.

With cold glints under his eyes, he clenched his fist... Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
