Chapter 69: The Fastest.

Felix slowly walked out from the arena stage through the underground path.

He could hear the crowd out there cheering, shouting, and chanting his name as he moved ahead in the dark path.

"Phantom!"

"Phantom!"

"Phantom!"

Even though he was feeling quite exhausted from using his stamina-draining skill, Felix had a slight smile on his face getting happy from his recent win.

He moved on and came out from the path before quickly making his way away from there, so as to not get caught up with the excited crowd.

There were still three matches remaining and he wanted to quickly end them, so wasting time here was of no use.

After he walked away, a group of men arrived there and started searching for him.

"Where did he go?"

"Quick search for him, we must follow him to see if he joins another battle."

Henry excitedly said to the other men who nodded and spread out looking for the man who they had thought as their lucky charm.

They all moved around the crowd in search of him before one of them suddenly called out.

"There! I see him going there!"

All the men gathered around him as he pointed at the back of Felix who was walking in a different direction.

"Good. Don't lose him, he's our only way to get rich."

"Come on come on, we must definitely bet on him this time."

Henry and Dufus led all the men to trail behind Felix. They traversed the crowdy arena grounds eyeing him as the rest of the people glanced at them strangely.

Felix walked on and reached another arena numbered 34 where he didn't hesitate and made his way towards there.

"He's joining another fight!"

"Yes! I'll bet on him this time for sure."

The group of men got excited at that sight as they all hurriedly ran to the betting booth of that arena.

They rushed to the man selling the betting tickets and quickly placed their bets on Phantom without even looking at who he was up against.

After placing the bets, they rushed to Arena 34 where they saw that Felix had already walked onto the stage and was doing stretches.

The group found some seats and sat there eagerly waiting for the fight that was going to start.

It didn't take long before the referee asked both fighters to get ready and started the battle.

"Wait guys stop! We have to go behind him, what if he's joining another battle?"

All of them stopped their actions and stared at Dufus for seconds without blinking.

"Umm, would he still join? I really doubt that, I mean it's been four battles already."

One of them said slightly holding back his intentions as he didn't want to sound like a prick.

Henry looked at Dufus intently and asked.

"Dufus, what do you think? Do you still think that guy's going to battle another match?"

Dufus was surprised at the question he was asked but he didn't back down and nodded his head rapidly before answering.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. I saw that same previous look in his eyes when he was leaving the stage."

When they heard him say that, all of them looked around at each other before nodding.

Henry smiled and patted his shoulders.

"Well, this time we'll believe you. Let's go see what that guy has to show us."

Widening his eyes, Dufus stared at all of his friends who actually believed in him and he felt his eyes teary.

Rubbing his eyes, he nodded while smiling.

"Hnn, yeah we have to go before he disappears into the crowd."

The group of them agreed and quickly left the audience area, again searching for their lucky charm that would lead them to become a successful better.

They quickly found the guy who was wearing a black mask and robe making his way to some other arena stage.

"There he is...."

Dufus pointed at the guy they were finding while the rest of the group nodded and revealed a slight smile.

Henry twitched his lips looking at the guy searching for his way to another arena and shook his head in a daze.

"I can't believe this guy. He's really going to join another battle....."

All of them nodded while one of them replied.

"But hey, isn't that the best for us?"

The group eyed each other sneakily before breaking out into a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha, you're right!"

"If he wins, then we win!"

"Let's go guys, can't be getting late for the bets."

With smiles on their faces, the group of men followed behind Felix to witness another win.
