It was now six PM, almost time for the welcome party hosted by Chorro for Liam. This was no ordinary party, it was a party where he would not only be introduced to other business people and their world but also get to see how they do things.It was a party where he would have to prove himself in order not to be seen as a joke or as weak. And also get a face-to-face encounter with Chorro.With a towel wrapped around his waist, Liam stood before his full-length mirror and couldn't stop tugging on his hair as his thoughts ran a thousand miles per second.He could only anticipate and imagine what tonight would be like. And as much as he was confident in himself and his ability, he just couldn't afford to fail whatsoever. That would be a great mistake on his side that would affect him and his name amongst the business elites for a long while.RING! RING!The sound of his phone ringing reached his ears and he walked towards the bedside table where he kept his phone and picked it up to see wh
Chorro's suite was no ordinary one, considering he was a rich, powerful, and influential man, the whole place screamed of wealth.It was already buzzing and filled with guests which were mostly businessmen and women who were powerful and influential just like Chorro himself.The suite is elegantly decorated with dim lighting and plush furniture. Soft jazz music fills the air, providing a sophisticated ambiance. Businessmen and women mingle, sipping on champagne and exchanging pleasantries. The atmosphere is convivial, with laughter and the clinking of glasses echoing throughout the room. Hors d'oeuvres are served on silver platters, offering a taste of gourmet delights. Overall, it's a refined and intimate gathering, perfect for networking and forging connections.As the place began to fill up even before the time of the actual party, those present soon began to exchange greetings and pleasantries with each other.As they made themselves comfortable on the chairs available for them, th
While the booing and mockery laughter was going on inside the place, Liam and the others who were outside were listening to everything being said inside the place.And although surprised by the people's behaviour, Liam was as well amused by them. For people who claimed to be business elites, they weren't quite bright."Is this how they behave?" Liam asked Alexander who was seated quietly next to him."You just need to know how to handle them and get used to their attitude," Alexander responded with a nod while he gently shifted his red bow tie. He was dressed in a simple black tuxedo, nothing really extra and his gray hair was styled neatly to the back.As they all sat inside the car, still listening to the conversation happening about them inside the suite, they soon heard when a man spoke about how Alexander was using Liam, and Liam who heard this scoffed out loudly in the car, gaining a stare from Alexander."I mean, it's technically true," Alexander said with a shrug and this gaine
A few minutes after Liam was settled on his seat, Alexander and Nelson soon stepped into the place, and even though the people made a few comments at Alexander, he chose to ignore them and they both took their seats beside Liam.The table were Liam was seated was a big one, next to him on his right was Alexander, and next to Alexander was Nelson.Right opposite Liam was Chorro who sat relaxed on his chair and beside Liam on his left were two other businessmen whom he barely knew."Everyone is happy to see you here," Chorro said to Liam who said nothing in response, he simply just stared at Chorro briefly before looking around him, examining the place.Apart from the fact that Liam noticed that people's gazes were on him, observing him which he didn't mind, he also noticed how the place was a not so fancy but fancy one. It was small and had a very minimal style to it but the little things used for decors would very much be super expensive.He also observed that there were security guar
With a grim expression on his darkened face, Chorro matched out of the hall where everyone was currently being entertained and walked towards where the ring fight would happen in a few minutes from now.Walking through a door that he shut right behind him, making the music from the hall less loud, he now stood in a hall that was dimly lit and walked towards the only door available in the hall.With his shoe clicking loudly causing a soft echoing sound in the barely lit room, he came to stand before the only door available in the hallway as he grabbed onto the doorknob, he twisted and pushed the door open to be welcomed with the sight of a dark room.And as he stepped in, he reached for the switch and turned the lights on, brightening up the room in no time and the sight before him had him smile in glee. With both his hands clasped together behind him, he walked around the place and as he did so, a soft chuckle escaped his lungs knowing what would be carried out here.This was the room
A few minutes ago, when Chorro left right after he had exchanged a few words with Liam, Liam who had pretended to be so invested in the dancers did notice when Chorro left his seat to heaven knows where and a few minutes later, Liam stood up and followed. He went in the exact direction he had seen Chorro walk to. Following Chorro's trails, Liam was led to a door that seemed to lead to a different room, he wasn't sure and to confirm his thoughts, he opened the door. However, was welcomed with the sight of what looked to be a hallway, one that barely had light in it. And as he stepped in and closed the door behind him, his eyesight began to adjust to the dimness of the hallway and almost immediately, as he narrowed his eyes, he caught sight of a light seeping out from a slightly opened door and he could hear voices coming from the room. The voices, one of them he recognized as Chorro's while the other remained yet unfamiliar to him. With curiosity, Liam walked, and to conceal his pre
"Do not make me repeat myself, let him go, now!" Chorro roared in anger as his eyes widened in rage. A few minutes had already passed since he had stepped into this room only to find his son beaten up by Liam and Liam was still refusing to let go even after he had demanded it.A soft but loud chuckle left Liam's lungs on hearing Chorro's words, he found it amusing how Chorro could be this pressed. And Liam was definitely enjoying the show."Okay, okay. Fine, I'll let him go because I'm a very nice person, you know," Liam remarked as he let go of James and stood up straight, he looked down at James who was still seething in pain and without thinking twice, Liam gave him a hard kick.The kick was so hard that the force of it was quick to send James flying out of the ring and he fell to the ground with a loud thud and following that was a loud groan from James due to the pain from the fall."Weak, pathetic, and loud," Liam murmured to himself as he stared down at James from the ring wher
Liam who remained hiding in the dim hallway stood as he watched the guests walk into the fighting room, chattering and murmuring words he could care less about to themselves.As soon as they all made it into the room, they settled on their various seats and Chorro who was still filled with rage and anger stood before the seated guests with a microphone in his hand, he had a few words to share with the audience."Ladies and gentlemen, thank you one more time for your graceful presence here tonight. As you can all see, there will be a fighting match tonight and this match will be between Liam Santiago and his opponents," Chorro announced and they all cheered loudly, it seemed everyone would enjoy tonight's fight.While listening to Chorro speak, Liam was quick to notice how Chorro said nothing about the reason behind tonight's fighting match and this made him understand all he needed to know about tonight.This was not a legal match, there was no apparent reason behind it, it was rather
