Chapter 87: Home Call

One. Two. Three.

The match officially ended in three seconds, causing an uproar in that arena.

Arnold and Lila suddenly threw a glance at Mark, and then uniformly, they burst into laughter.

"BWAHAHAHA!!!"

Lila was extremely serious about it, making Mark quite furious

"Our fifty dollars, hand it over! Hahaha!" Lila shouted with yet uncontrollable laughter.

The worst part of this issue was that Mark, who claimed to be strong, smart, and skillful, had lost the match in seconds.

And truly, the fact that Mark was also a Canadian had brought more depth to the fun... This was honestly why he had supported Jay D without hesitation, not just because he thought he was a good wrestler.

Lila personally took her fifty dollars from the table and gave Arnold his. Then she took a fifty-dollar note placed by Mark as well, ordering Arnold to claim his.

However, Arnold was only too big to accept it.

"No need, you can have it to yourself," He said and returned his attention to the TV, observing the new Universal champion's celebration.

'It ended so easily, and I feel Andrew's Attack Power level. It is almost out of this world. Damn!'

Arnold said inwardly.

Somehow, his Intelligence had made him understand certain things in the fight... He could easily feel the pressure of someone's strike and compare it with his...

Just as Andrew's attack force was calculated, he was left in awe...

'If I accidentally get to face him at this stage, I'd be doomed!' Arnold silently concluded.

He and his friends spent almost four hours watching movies while taking juice and popcorn... It only took a few minutes before Mark forgot about the match they had watched and decided to engage in the fun.

Arnold made sure that they had a satisfied meeting with him, keeping wide smiles on their faces.

When they left, she shut the door and sighed.

Arnold went back to lie on his bed, but he grabbed his smartphone; with a flash of remembrance in his head, he dialed his mom's mobile number and called.

If he wasn't mistaken, it had been up to a month since he heard their voice. Although it had been all work and business, after all, he had been forwarding some money to them often.

He knew for sure that they wouldn't be lacking anything.

Beep Beep Beep... Beep!!!

"My son! You finally called!" The voice of Arnold's mother sounded loudly with a mix of relaxation of excitement.

"Mother, I'm sorry I haven't called for a while. I have been hell busy with work and stuff," Arnold spoke up mad apologized.

"You don't need to my boy! I understand everything... After all, it's all for our own good. Please just tell me you are fine and healthy," his mother said with a sweet, loving voice.

Arnold couldn't help but smile at her statement...

"I'm doing great, mother. I should be asking you that question."

Arnold loved the fact that his mother always cared about his safety more than anything else. Although Arnold might have grown to be a popular wrestler in one of the best professional wrestling companies, she was still her baby boy.

It was after she was assured of his well-being that she thought of asking about his work life...

"I and your sisters watched you become a champion... Your father would be so proud wherever he is."

Arnold nodded in agreement.

Back at a young age, Arnold had always said that being a professional wrestler was his dream. His father would only take it as a childish joke and told him that he wouldn't stand a chance yet playfully.

Now, he had achieved that dream and proved that those words weren't childish statements.

"Thank you, mom. I could have done it if not for your love and support. Your motivation, your assistance... I owe you everything!" Arnold said with welling-up eyes; a tear dropped, but he quickly wiped it off.

Arnold tried hard not to be too emotional, having remembered all that he had gone through on the road to achieve this dream.

"We will always be by your side and hope you keep soaring high."

His mother spared Audrey and Eva a chance to talk to their brother. As usual, Arnold's conversation with Audrey was always sharp and funny... Audrey always loved to joke a little while they talked, and Arnold would always joke in double fold.

Eva's heartfelt speech only warmed his heart. Just like always, she requested for him to come visit them, but it was unfortunate that Arnold wouldn't be able to.

For someone who was having quite a controversial issue with Tristan Black after his threatening challenge, he couldn't afford to leave Capside Centre for non-wrestling activities.

Arnold promised to be home on Christmas, which would be in a few weeks... Literally in a month.

Eva wasn't really satisfied with his decision, having to know that he would only be coming on Christmas holidays which seemed too far to her. She had no choice anyway, so he could only nod and accept.

Before Arnold ended the call, he had a slight conversation with his mother again, but it was only for a minute.

He hung on and dropped his phone on a stool at the side of his bed, sighing.

Arnold lay for a while, thinking and pondering wide...

Every moment only seemed like a blur, and his brain felt like it had been splattered by some magical fireballs.

Dang! Dang!

There was an alarming sound again on Arnold's phone, which shook him off his long, complicated thinking. He glared at that instant and picked up his phone, only to see some range of messages in his mailbox.

Well, he had gotten himself an iPhone 23 Pro Max lately, so he wouldn't have to use the initial cheap smartphone.

Reading the messages, it was hard to notice Arnold's reaction... No, it should be judged that Arnold's reaction was a cold, expressionless silence.

[IBAR Telecoms: Endorsement Deal Offer.]

[Dracon Tyres: Endorsement Deal Offer.]

[EMR TV: Exclusive Interview Invitation.]

[Selina Greenwood: A Date?]

His eyes rolled over the comments until they stopped at a particular one, leaving him stunned.

No, it was not because of the date proposal...

It was because the one giving this proposal was...

Well, who doesn't know Selina Greenwood?!!! S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, unfortunately, Arnold was turning down all due to his preparations to defeat Tristan Black.

Nothing would stop him!
