The Cheat Seed - Chapter 75
“Gotta give them a show for their money, Ya know?”
Marcus laughed at the trembling figure of Gabriel.
The life in his face was completely flushed out just like the air inside when the balloon pops.
Gabriel stood in his place trembling, the man in front of him was the same guy whom he had challenged in the morning. And it was coincidentally Marcus too??.
Gabriel’s mind screamed at him. It screamed at him asking how Marcus had survived his attack and how his hand broke. The Double punch he gave him was a child’s play for Marcus. Gabriel remembered how he had felt when he punched the man in front of him who claimed to be Marcus.
HIS BODY FELT LIKE AN IMPREGNABLE IRON WALL!!.
“No! step back”
Gabriel fumbled with his words when he saw the Man he thought was a wimp walk towards him. He struggled to drag his body back through the floor. His hand was broke and he was too scared to realize it when he accidentally used his hands to move back.
“AAAAARGH”
His scream echoed throughout the stadium, making the crowd scream and cheer more in surprise.
Marcus was 10 meters away from Gabriel and was unmasked. The Crowd was going completely haywire, why wouldn’t they!!… Marcus had just survived.. no, Easily dusted off the royal man’s powerful attack just now.
The Crowd support seemed to shift to Marcus’s side as their voice echoed in unison.
“MARCUS!!”
“MARCUS!!”
But the chant soon changed to something else. Everyone started to shout a complete different name as Marcus stopped and looked around him in surprise.
“DEVIL MASK!!”
“DEVIL MASK!!”
“DEVIL MASK!!”
“DEVIL MASK!!”
A new nickname, just what he wanted. He got one at the school and now. Seriously!??…Even though he was the same guy having two nicknames, his heart felt like he was somehow a two in one package.
It was because he was.
“DEVIL MASK!!”
“DEVIL MASK!!”
The already terrifying cheers became louder as every second passed.
“Become famous in a day?..cross that out of the bucket list”
Marcus chuckled, his hands waving up and down as the cheers followed his motion.
It felt like they were an orchestra, where Marcus was the conductor and the rest were the band.
Marcus’s hands dropped and he struggled to hear what the terrified Gabriel was saying to him. His pale lips were parting in and out but the voice was far away from audible.
With a drop of his shoulders, Marcus clapped his hands.
*BOOM*
The wind pressure after his small clap almost blew the referee and Gabriel away if it weren’t for his insane air manipulation skills. The wind around them converged and covered them in a translucent air ball.
The Crowd went silent as if they were hit by an Instant neutralizer. Both Gabriel’s mouth and the referee’s were wide agape in shock and fear. Imagine if those hands clapped behind your back.
Marcus shook his head and smirked. His legs slowly moved forward. His hands in his Capri pockets and the silky smooth burgundy red hair waving in an unknown calm breeze like a flag in a ship. He looked like A TOTAL BADASS.
Gabriel’s eyes widened and he gulped. The boy he used to bully. The first name which came into his mind whenever he thought about a completely useless life. That same boy was overwhelming with a power which could even surpass a god.
His whimpering heart forced him to jump his mouth into a frenzy of words that came to his mind. Gabriel spouted daggers with his eyes closed.
“You can’t get away with this!!. Surrender now or.. or else..I’ll kill your family”
…
…
…
…
The Crowd was silent. His ears didn’t catch anything. Neither did he feel any presence. The rolled up eyes of Gabriel Richard slowly and carefully slit into two small openings.
Marcus was meters away from him. His body was still, his face was dropping down. The whole atmosphere seemed to have gone statue mode.
But what sent chills down Gabriel’s spine was the red glowing eyes. The eyes WHICH CARRIED RAGE… MONSTROUS RAGE. His pants felt wet and something watery flowed down his legs. It wasn’t late when he realized…. he had peed his pants.
The senses tingled and Gabriel’s feet moved automatically as he jumped back closer to the boundary line. He didn’t want to win anymore, heck no!! HIS LIFE WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WINNING.
With all his might, Gabriel closed the distance between him and the boundary line. Dragging his body a bit closer to the lines had done him good.
And with the last of his strength, Gabriel heaved himself in out, his body was in the air as he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw he was about to hit the ground outside…. Or as he thought.
A Strong, firm hand grabbed his neck and spun him around, slamming his body into the floor in a mighty movement. Gabriel’s nose bridge broke and his nose spurted blood out as his eyes cornered to meet the raging blood red eyes of Marcus G Orno.
Gabriel cried when he wasn’t able to feel his left side… The whole of his left was paralyzed. With another have of the strong hand behind him, Gabriel’s body was up in the air again, held by the hand behind his neck.
*BANG*
Marcus drove Gabriel’s face into the floor just centimeters away from the boundary line, dragged his face down the ground and ran with all his might.
Gabriel’s face was driven through the floor like a playing wheel as Marcus covered the whole arena ring a whole 1000 times in 5 seconds. The boundary line right in front of him but he couldn’t do anything to reach over there.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME GABRIEL PRAYED, THE FIRST TIME HE PLEADED TO WHATEVER ENTITY WAS ABOVE HIM.
“Where are the Gods????”
Marcus’s voice boomed inside his distorted mind.
“HE’S RIGHT HERE!!!”
*BANG*
Gabriel’s ribs exploded with Marcus’s mighty kick, which blasted him off into the stratosphere.
His whole face, the handsome and arrogant face of Gabriel was distorted in to a very high extent that muscles and tendons barely remained and the skull protruded. The whole of his left side revealed his bones and organs as he flew in the air. His left eye was gone.
A sudden push of wind beside him and he found Marcus’s bloody eyes in his right.
His mind pleaded to him but he thought it didn’t reach to the other man.
Little did he know Marcus was close to ascension!!!.
“Threatening me was okay, but a word against the people who I cherish the most, my family!!!….IS EQUAL TO A GRUESOME DEATH!!!”
Were the last words Gabriel’s almost dead conscious heard before his half – vision blacked out when a fist broke his skull.
