Chapter 63: Felix vs Orkida I

Felix paused his steps and turned to the man who was leaning against the wall and smiling mysteriously.

"Hmm, it seems that Steve boy has already told you who I am. Did he also tell you that what I say is always bullshit and you shouldn't ever believe me?"

Mr. Dealer pushed himself away from the wall and neared toward Felix while speaking in his ears.

"So, what will you do? Believe in me or not?"

Taking a few steps backward, Felix had an apologetic face as he said something entirely different from what the man had expected.

"Umm I want to participate in a battle right now, so I don't have time to talk with you. I'm sorry."

Giving the man a slight nod, he turned around and went deeper into the office toward the counter.

Mr.Dealer stood stunned in the place as if he couldn't understand what had transpired just now.

After a few seconds, he finally reacted and blinked in a frenzy.

"Wait, did I just get rejected by a kid?"

The man scratched his head while letting out a laugh, and shrugged hopelessly.

"It seems I have to build a nice reputation for myself huh.....", he spoke some sensible words but he knew it was going to be hard if he wanted to do that as his previous actions had already made his reputation reach the bottom.

While he was lost in his thoughts, a man completely covered in a gray robe and a grey mask approached him from behind and whispered in his ears.

"We have dealt with the matter of those two guards."

A smirk stretched at the corner of his lips as Mr.Dealer replied while scoffing.

"Hmph! This is what happens when you make trouble with anyone I have my eyes on."

Giving Felix who was hurrying inside a last glance, he walked out with the other person obediently following behind.

'Don't worry, I'm sure you'll come to me later.....'

While the man remained firm in his thoughts, Felix arrived in front of the counter and asked the worker there to let him join in some arena battles.

The worker there checked his card on an orb and asked him.

"How many battles do you want to join?"

Felix's eyes gleamed at the question as he asked back.

With still some time remaining, he decided to stretch his body to warm up his body.

A few minutes later, a person walked up from the opposite side and entered the stage.

Felix turned toward him and stared at him carefully.

"So that's my first opponent today."

The man straight ahead of him stood at a height of 2 meters and wielded a rapier in his hand.

He wore green warrior clothes and armor with a brown mask covering his face.

Swinging his weapon, the man stared at his opponent and revealed a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Hmm looking at your clothes, you must be a kid of some rich family. But this is a match in the underworld arena, so don't expect me to go easy on you."

Felix knit his eyebrows and thought.

'What the hell is up with this idiot? Does he think he's some detective or something, mistaking me an orphan as a kid from a rich family....'

Shaking his head, he didn't care much about it and instead focused on getting ready as there only a few minutes left before the match.

Seeing that the kid was ignoring him, the man frowned and harrumphed angrily.

"It seems you don't understand the difference between us. Then I'll show you how it's done."

The man remained standing and didn't mind doing any stretching as he felt it would be too much for handling a weak kid.

After a few minutes, the referee walked to the middle of the stage and asked the both of them.

"Are the both of you ready?"

Felix stopped and took a stance while nodding at the referee while his opponent did the same but still stood in his relaxed position.

The referee saw that both of them got ready and thus raised the green flag before announcing.

"On the left side we have the rapier user Orkida who had come here just after winning a battle.", he said hyping up.

Turning to the right side, he continued.

"While on the right side, we have a beginner who joined the arena battle just yesterday.", there was a bit of strangeness in his voice as he told his name.

"And his name is Phantom!"
