Chapter 161: Klein's Relief



***

Amon clapped in the silent stadium, giving his praise for Klein.

While also giving him a smile...

Not genuine or kind.

Just...

A smile.

As Klein's locked with Amon, they flashed in a shade of light pink for a second.

But it faded right away.

Klein gave Amon a slight smile, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

And as Amon clapped, Charlotte also joined him.

After all, Klein was also her teammate back then.

A comrade.

And as the two clapped, slowly, the whole stadium joined in.

It was something very new for Klein as Amon saw his smile widen.

His eyes also brightened up with joy.

With the result being finally declared, Klein started to walk out of the stadium.

But while he was walking, Amon took out his watch and messaged him.

[Amon: Do you want to meet me?]

No assumptions or any sort of greeting.

It was a straight-up yes or no question.

And the reply came back instantly with Klein pausing a second to see his watch.

[Klein: Yes]

His reply was also curt and a single word.

Amon smiled.

So far, his plan was working.

He turned to Charlotte and scratched his head.

"Sorry but I gotta go and prepare for my fight now, so you'll need to watch the rest of the matches without me." He explained.

But Charlotte being herself, smiled, understanding his situation.

"It's no problem, go and do your best. I'll be here to watch your match at that time." She said, waving him off.

Amon smiled in relief and waved back.

And without wasting any second, he also ushered out of the stadium.

***

Coming outside, Amon took a sharp turn and arrived at the backside of the stadium.

And as his eyes locked with his target, he smiled.

He walked up to Klein in the shade of the stadium.

The light breeze made their black hair flutter in the wind.

"Yo." Amon waved casually.

Surprised by his tone, Klein stuttered for a second but quickly adjusted himself to it.

He raised his hand and waved as well.

"Sup." Klein raised his hand.

Shaking it, Amon spoke up.

"So you need something from me?" He asked.

Klein looked into Amon's eyes, hesitating if he should say it.

layered and majestic.

From the start, his voice was growing deeper and more melodic.

It echoed in his mind every second in a resonating tone.

It was...

Peaceful.

At that moment, Klein felt as if Amon was his only friend in the world.

And it wasn't a lie.

After being stripped of their status, everyone had avoided them.

His friends, their connections.

Everyone.

And when left with nothing and in a pinch, Klein was finally able to see a light in the darkness.

It was Amon.

As Amon pulled Klein closer, he brought his lips close to his ears, his voice coming out even

more layered.

"I just want you to do me a simple favor Klein." He said.

The dialogue resonated in Klein's mind multiple times.

And lost in his gratefulness for the Amon, Klein nodded.

He was ready to do anything for Amon.

"I want you to stay away from your mother."

Klein's body almost perked up at the comment, something raging inside him.

But instantly, it was shot down as the bliss returned back to him.

Amon quickly continued.

"I'm not asking you to stay away from her forever." He said, whispering in his ear.

"Just stay away for the whole mid-terms. And I guarantee you, she will never suffer any more

pain. I promise you."

The words resonated in Klein's mind like a melody, making him believe it.

It was a tempting promise.

And Klein of course accepted it. The man was his savior after all.

Why would he do something bad to his mother?

"Okay," Klein said, losing more control of himself.

"Good. Very good." Amon said, patting his back.

"Then let's meet after the mid-terms shall we? When your mother is completely healed." He

said.

Klein, unable to make sense of himself, nodded.

"Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much." He thanked Amon but the man simply patted his

back.

"It's no problem. Go and watch your mother be healed. You just need to deposit the money to

the hospital and stay away from her." He said, repeating his order.

Klein nodded, smiling.

"Yes, thank you. I'll be off then." He waved and started walking off.

As Klein walked off, Amon stared at his back.

His smile finally morphed back into his stoic expression and his eyes were still cold.

'Let's begin.'
