As the bell rang for the commencing of the fight, everyone sat perked up on their seats, with tapping legs, shifting feet, and some rubbing the back of their necks, Amber watched with keen interest, sitting at the edge of her seat as she constantly rubbed her palms against her soft trousers, biting her lips as she watched,She had put the lives of over a hundred men on the line today, despite the slight guilt that nagged her, she knew she’d do it over and over again,She watched as both teams assembled their men, and as she watched Vance’s team assemble, she almost peed her pants, gaping at them widely,“Huh! W-what are my seeing?”She exclaimed in a voice that was part high and part low, she gasped loudly as more made their appearance, Vance’s men were giants! High towering giants who looked like they ate bricks and stones as meal, Compared to their men, who were all burly or big enough in size, their men were like ants before Vance’s men, it was obvious he had carefully selected the
As the crowd watched while they were seated on the edges of their seats, with their breaths in their palms, they could hardly sit still as they watched the fighter attack his giant opponent, after using the smoke bomb as leverage to attack, he leaped to his feet and jumped on the disoriented giants back, and struck him on the head with the club in his hands, although the giant struggles with the less weighty fighter, he was able to gain an upper hand,Watching all of these, the crowd who were still in support of Vance and his men began to chant out loud,“Vance has slain hundreds of thousands, his men have slain thousands”“Victory is for Vance, Victory today, victory always!”Despite the people’s chant, Vance’s dampened mood couldn't be lifted, his face was becoming increasingly red; it was obvious that his team was on the losing side, even with their strengths and numbers, Adam’s men were gaining the upper hand.Rubbing the back of his neck, with reddened eyes, he furiously glanced a
“Let the show begin”Thus began the show as Cullen hurriedly and happily went to do Vance’s bidding, with glee in his heart, Looking at Vance’s smug face, Adam couldn't help but wonder what trick the dude had up his sleeves, sitting up straight in his seat, he couldn't take his eyes away from Vance who still had the smug and knowing look on his face,He couldn't help himself as he cleared his throat to see if it would get Vance’s attention, and the guy didn't fail as he turned to look at him with the smug smile still intact on his face, before raising an eyebrow,“Agitated already, my good friend?”Adam shook his head and smiled in return causing Vance to scoff, Adam’s indifference was indeed riling him up, and he wanted to see him crumble and grovel before him. As they stared on intently at each other, Vance had the sudden desire to tease Adam and get a rile out of him,“You know, I met the beautiful damsel you saved the other day, and I must say she's a real looker, what with those
Adam stared in horror at the unveiled people before him, unable to believe his eyes, with wide eyes, he turned to a smirking and smug Vance who only grinned in return, his eyes glinting with mischief,Vance spread his arms wide and declared,“Ta-da!!!!”Adam all but shook his head at his antics, before he responded in a calm voice, keeping his face and body posture straight,“What's all of these supposed to mean?”Vance on the other hand, shook his head as well, and winked at Adam,“I do hope you like my surprise, my good friend. Meet the mother of your child and her mother. What a wonderful surprise, I must say”Adam expelled a breath, while his eyes darted between a pregnant Louisa, Cecil, and a smug Vance,“It's a happy reunion, or don't you think so my good friend?”Vance questioned with a twinkle in his eyes, Adam rested his eyes on Vance, the dude was indeed a sick bastard.It was hard to imagine or to describe what he felt at this moment as he stared at Vance with unblinking ey
Adam gazed intently at her and opened his mouth, his voice calm yet laced with a cold edge, he finally spoke, addressing Cecil first, "It's interesting, isn't it, Cecil? How the tables turn. All those years of disdain and now here we are, now you dare to ask me to save your life and even dare to refer to me as your Son? Have you forgotten so soon?"Cecil's face paled, her earlier bravado dissolving, her lips trembled and she shut her eyes, tears seeping out of it as Adam's gaze bore into her. She tried to speak, to beg further, but the words seemed to catch in her throat, only managed to squirm on her toes.Adam ignored her, and her silent self as he faced Louisa, the woman he had sworn to love all his life, the woman he had hoped to spend his newfound wealth with,Turning his attention to Louisa, Adam's expression softened slightly, but the hurt was evident in his eyes, and they darkened as he gazed upon her,"And Louisa, after everything, why should I save you? You made your choice
As William Bates was dragged into the arena, Cecil's demeanour shifted dramatically; She went from a state of fear to one of misplaced arrogance,"Ha!" She exclaimed loudly, standing taller, as if William's presence had suddenly granted her strength and invincibility, a wide smile spread across her face as he was brought in, and she looked at Adam’s way and sneered at him, before looking at Williams with a smug smile, "My darling son-in-law is here now. Nothing can touch me!" Her voice was loud, filled with a brash confidence that seemed out of place amidst the tension.Adam watched this transformation with a wrinkled nose and curling lips, his eyes extremely cold as he glanced at her, his look was a mix of surprise and disgust as he stared at Cecil,The same woman who had been pleading for mercy just moments ago was now sneering at him as if he were nothing. He could only roll his eyes in response, disbelief colouring his every feature, as he shook his head.William, on the other h
Everyone on the pit including Vance, went completely still, Louisa’s and Amber’s mouths were even slightly opened, no one could believe what was before them,Williams, who was still on the floor shaking terribly, and expecting the deadly blows that never came, lifted his head slightly to see Adam had prevented the blow, and his eyes bulged out of the socket, just as his mouth fell open. It was disbelieving to see that Adam was almost fighting for him.Cecil was the first to recover as she took it all in, with squinting eyes and scrunched eyebrows, she yelled at Adam in a disbelieving voice,“You fool!!! Are you out of your senses or what?! It's as though you have a death wish! Don't you?!” she yelled at Adam while eyeing him with disdain, Louisa on the other hand, watched in horror, her expression mirroring that of her fallen husband, she had seen Adam fight since his release from prison, but his audacity at this moment was outstanding and foolhardy, everyone could see the Vance and
Vance let out a light chuckle and winked at Adam, and then he went on, speaking and gesticulating, "As you've so eloquently put it, I play with lives, so let's up the stakes, shall we? Ladies and gentlemen…" Vance paused for effect, his eyes glinting with malevolence, "I give you someone whose life you've been intertwined with more than you'd care to admit..."Vance's cruel laughter echoed throughout the tense arena. Adam's frown deepened, a vein throbbing in his temple as his patience grew thin, he already had a feeling who Vance was referring to, and he was at his wits end, he needed the drama to be over and done with.Amber glared daggers at Vance, her fists clenched so tight her knuckles turned white, he eyes and face were reddened, she ached to thrash Vance to her satisfaction, "You sadistic monster," she spat through gritted teeth. Inside, her heart ached for Adam and what more torture this man planned to inflict, even if she could see Adam was unmoved, she still ached for t
