Chương 10: Uninvited guests

It's time for my last match of the day after a brief break. Someone halted my opponent just as he was ready to enter the ring.

After a lengthy conversation with a bulky man in his mid-20s—during which they may have struck an understanding—the sixth-ranker left.

What a surprise, right... I am aware that only the strong can remain where I was.

He wants one last match with me, and I can tell that. Perhaps he feels that I unfairly defeated his friend, the second opponent, and wants to exact revenge on him.

Anyway, no big deal (I spotted them together before my match began).

"Hello, Miss!! my friend who was going to have a match feels unwell so the arena management team wants me to replace him. You won't mind these little things, will you ?" Using the authority huh---

"If I mind then? You may not know but l am a very narrow-minded person." I snorted.

"Oh, then you don't have a choice you should forfeit the match."

"Why should I? I can wait till he gets fine. If he isn't fine today I can wait until tomorrow, if not tomorrow then the next, and on more. I don't think he will be unwell forever. I will wait patiently till then."

'Can only he be arrogant? I can too.'

"The lady what can I do to have a match with you ??" He dropped his act.

"Simple: triple the prize money. If you lose I get it and if I lose you will get nothing from me. It's your pleasure to have a match with me and it's you who want to have a match with me, not the other way."

He flared up listening to my answer. He was about to lose control being so angry then his so-called friend squeezed his shoulder then he relaxed. He was feeling gleeful as the victory would be his. But he may have avoided the match if he knew what will happen later. "Sure"

The moment he entered the ring, the crowd fell silent to the point of a pin drop, showing how interested they were in the championship match. The bet was raised, and as we began to engage in combat, everyone stopped what they were doing and focused on the ring.

He attacked while I was defending. He had good endurance, but he couldn't touch my hair or injure me.

Oh no, I have no hair that could be grabbed. I wore wigs.😉

I started to become bored, so I decided to fast finish the game by attacking. He was hit twice in the face and kicked in the chest before falling to the ground.

Coughing blood he wanted to stand but fell down as if he didn't have any energy left in him. Having no choice he admitted defeat within my 2-3 attacks.

< I, Biva won the match with triple the prize money.>

My success astonished everyone. Who would have imagined a girl could defeat the top boxer in the room? Yes, the big man who was my last opponent was ranked one.

The people who made bets on me were the happiest because they made a lot of money, while others experienced the complete reverse.

The person who was happiest was my companion, who sprinted towards the ring and began encircling me with his dazzling eyes as soon as I descended the ring. How did I end up with such a cute and silly partner?

I interrupted him just as he was going to speak. I left the loud bar and underground arena after receiving the prize money and headed outside.

My partner tagged along. The dawn will be soon as the city was starting hustling and bustling. I stopped at a food stall as now I was hungry. Ordering some breakfast for both of us someone couldn't stay quiet.

"Miss you won. WOW...wow..wow you won against the first-ranked fighter. No one has defeated him for two consecutive years so he was so arrogant. It's not a dream, is it? I don't feel real, please pinch me maybe I am hallucinating." I pinched his arms.

"Ahhh..it hurts. So I am not hallucinating you really won. I want to see his defeated face but the arena's team took him away so soon. He must be feeling very ashamed. I am so happy he lost, every time I see him in the arena he acted so smugly... I am grateful to you. I was in immediate need of money but no one helped me. You are my lucky charm so I earned a lot today. Thank you miss. And I am Nick." He stretched out his hand to shake but I ignored him.

"It's fine and you should return back after breakfast."

We both divided our portions at 3:7, and I refrained from giving him more because three portions was already a lot, so why alter the terms of the agreement?

I made enough money to cover my needs for the time being. Nick was dismissed and required to pay for his own food.

I spent a half-hour strolling the beach in the early morning and then went back to my hotel to fall asleep. I was awakened by the doorbell ringing in the afternoon.

I received the equipment I had bought, gave the delivery person my money, shut the door, and arranged the items on the bed.

I wanted a new laptop, a set of mechanical gear, binoculars, and a jammer. I need to be completely prepared and find a way into Wega as soon as possible. I am hoping for a chance since I need one.

As the year was ready to come to an end, someone from Wega would be here to purchase clothing and nutritional supplements, and the members outside would also then depart for Wega, ending the mission.

There was a rooftop café close to a port from which I could observe the scene there.

In order to make it appear as though I'm reading, I ordered some juices (I stay away from caffeine).

I maintained a close eye on the port and the area for two days to watch for but barely had any progress.

Early on the morning third day, I had two uninvited guests outside my room. How did they find where I stay?... It's not that they were secretly following me but one of them had seen me previously nearby. He waved his hand wanting to greet me but I ignored him and walked past. It's not that I didn't see him but wanted to avoid any person who wasn't related to me.

Now they are outside my door and why are both of them together? I could see them from my door hole. Should I open or ignore it? How can I ignore them when they are continuously ringing the bell and it's making me feel somehow irritated?

"Hey, both of you can you stop ringing the bell? Just ring the bell once or twice the people inside will know. You both are ringing as you are playing the piano." Opening the door l glared at them with my arms folded.

"Oh miss, sorry for that, we thought you didn't hear the sound or something has happened to you. If you didn't open the door we would have broken it too."

The teenage boy can't lie or stop blabbering, can he?

"And why are both of you together I remembered someone telling me, he didn't like the other one. But what's the situation now acting as a friendly duo?"

"No... no miss it's not like that. He begged me for two days to meet you so I am here together. First I didn't want to help him but what can I do, I am a very good human as I have a kind heart and can't ignore his pleas. Plus he is my oldest cousin if I ignored him then I will be scolded by my parents. Miss, why are we outside can't we sit in your room and talk?"

'If he was so kind then why will he let his cousin beg him for two days?'

"Don't you know you can't enter a lady's room and moreover why should I let both of you inside? Whatever both of you wanted to say, say here? And you arrogant man why are you here?"

The uninvited guests were Nick and the loser burly man. The burly was looking at me with twinkling eyes as if seeing his idol or goddess. What's with the look?

" Miss…miss..am…I re..ally.....see..i..ng..you."

I gave Nick a look asking what was wrong with him and he made a face as if he don't know.

"Mr. Loser, are you here to seek revenge? If you are then know it: if I can defeat you once and I can defeat you other times too but if you're not for that, speak clearly, I have a limited time to listen to your stuttering."

And he turned nervous. why the hell is he nervous?

"I am busy, won't see you both out so help yourself."

I closed the door directly in their faces. I had to go out to collect the info about Wega, can't waste my time here listening to their nonsense.
